Jimmy Butler. Man. He's balling out of his mind right now. I won't be surprised if he breaks down around March or April.
He should get the Player of the Month if we can win the next couple games. He is averaging crazy numbers in December. Well deserved. ...trade him?
Lol, trade him now!!! I can't believe there's a thread here with that title... I wonder if back in the day people would have demanded Jordan/Olajuwon get traded (if there were easy forums to access)... I'm not saying Harden is Jordan or something, but he's definitely a top tier player and still young and developing. I honestly can't believe we got him, he's clearly our franchise player.
Not to take away from Harden, but back in Hakeem's day they only named 1 player for the whole league each week. In the 02 season they changed it to this whole East and West player of the week... I'm certain if Hakeem had that chance he'd have a lot more than 12.
