Butler is not top tier all star. That said he is a wonderful player that starts on every team in the league no matter who is on the roster. He is not an all time player like Harden and CP3 are. I think if there is a way to get him here he would be had; but we don’t have the means to acquire him. His skill set would fit very well on the team but it is all for not because it’s not happening. Sorry but please thread should be moved to the dish, IMO. Jeff Taylor is our topic and future.
Damn, he got screwed. Eternity sentence on the Knicks. There are some fates worse than death and it seems hell too.
Even with a healthy Boogie? and idk Iggy fits because he doesn't need the ball. Jimmy is better with the ball than without it IMO.
People wants Butler, sure as hell I do too, but where is the money? Butler just turned down the extension where he is seeking a max. It tells me Butler will sign with wolves if they offer him the max. It also tells me Morey won't be signing him to a max as he doesn't worth max.
Seems highly unlikely we would snag jimmy, wolves and Knicks were having talks Tbh maybe I’m biased but I feel like gordon has good trade value for somebody like butler. Throw on some picks, young player and money considerations. I defiantly think butler is an upgrade over gordon as an overall player but I’m still content with keeping Gordon
This is why EG won’t be traded. Our picks suck and we have no young players that have shown potential. No team is going to trade one of their top players for EG and whatever we can attach to him. Not saying no one would want him, but EG is the type of player you add to a team, not replace your star with. One can argue he could be used in a three team trade to get a pick out of the third team sent to whatever team is giving up a Jimmy Butler or something, but then why wouldn’t that third team exclude us and go for the best player in the trade themselves. Example: Say we want Jimmy Butler. Only way we make it worthwhile for a team like Minny is if we send EG to someone like Philly who would want a veteran and Philly send a really good pick to Minny. (More pieces involved obviously like our future 1sts to Minny). But in this case why wouldn’t Philly say forget EG and Houston let’s just get Butler ourselves. It’s not impossible, nothing is, but with our lack of young players and no attractive picks it is very unlikely we can give up EG and get back a player better than him
Jimmy butler honestly gives your the same impact EGO does so I'm not too sure what all the hype is for I think he is madly overrated
hes better matchup for them than EG is. hes also more versatile. EG is a good player but JB as a contributor has bit more to offer
Neither could Ariza, but his length, physicality and grit will make them work and tire them much more than EGo. There us no stopping either LBJ or KD but there defenders who can make them work harder and make them more inefficient.
