NBA.COM says Butler most likely to Houston or Dallas

I just don't see the true point in making this trade.
Yes we have Butler to pair with Yao next year but we are still not a title contending team with that roster.

Why give up Lowry for Butler ? He won't make us substantially better.
This seems almost like making a trade just to make one and Morey knows better.

Once again let Mcgrady expire let Yao play next season and make your moves during the 2011 free agency.

We will have alot more to work with then with our extra salary and younger players from the draft.

 

i agree he's not the typical go to guy, but i thought Yao had that role on this team. Either way, we have several capable scorers, we're just missing a piece that connects them all. Brooks, scola, landry can all get 20 on any given night. Add yao and butler to the mix and scoring isnt a problem. The only reason we crave go to guys is because right now that's what we need to create offense late, a guy who just says "get outta my way i'm scoring"...but a healthy roster won't need that. I know we've technically been healthy before and had scoring issues anyway, but we never had this kind of help around yao and (insert tmac and/or his replacement). Brooks is truly a 20 ppg scorer now, we can even call him consistent. Landry is right up there, off the bench. You got reliable scola, and lowry pushing the issue...

We dont need what's now known as the big 3, who avrage approx 20-20-20. We also dont need the typical top 5 scorers on a team, who's scoring range from about 10ppg to 20+ppg. We're starting something new here, the avg of our top 5 scorers will be a lot closer, they'll all avg around 14-17 ppg and they'll all be a threat to score 20 on any given night. I believe that's ideal because the offense is spread around, the d can't focus in on any main scorer, since there won't be one.

 

adding butler doesnt make this team a title contender , but it puts us one move closer. he gives us someone who has a legit jumper and a better contract than iggy. and when will you people learn that we're not going to have 23million to spend, but more like 7 or 8? i would love to hear your suggestion of an impact player who we can sign for that.

 

I'm sayin', sign me up to double that comment.

 

If he makes that deal it will be dumb.

 

Scola is better than Butler and we have to take on Stevenson too? No thanks!! And move Lowry? No thanks.

 

scola is better than butler? come on now...

 

I'd only give up Scola for Jamison.

 

Well he is. This trade will be going backwards this season. Scola is vital to Houston's win's. Scola is more important to the team for the remaining of this season even if we don't move McGrady, not to mention how is Butler the long-term plan? AND you taking on Stevenson?? Unless you plan on going backwards to move Scola atleast ask for their pick.

 

Is this a wetdream or what???

How in the hell with get the Wizzards best players in exchage for our non-core players (I won't call Rox players trash) and still be able to keep Lowry, Brooks, Scola, C-Bud, and Battier)?

If Morey calls the Wizz GM, there would be some much laughter on the other end, it may jam the eastern seaboard phone system.

 

I think you are overrating Jamisons and Butler value here. Jamison 34? Butler 30? I think Morey would be laughing and the 10 games better than Washington tells you the story. Jamison and Butler play big minutes. Scola alone plays 10 less minutes than Butler and are almost putting up similar numbers. Washington is better off to deal Jamison, Butler, Miller, Stevenson who all 4 are older for just McGrady, Lowry, Cook and both of Houstons picks. Anything more then that from Houston is a nope.

''"I'd use my assets to get off salary and try to restructure the whole thing," one Western Conference general manager said. "It didn't work. Push the reset button and try to create as much room as possible."''

'""Washington is looking for salary cap relief, young players and/or draft picks in trades."""

If Morey trades Lowry or Scola.........he's an *******.

 

I think we have just about as good of a chance with Washington as anybody else.

NY don't appeal me much unless it had Lee and Gallinari a move in which Lee could resign. Les was a Knicks fan before he purchased the Rockets, but to me that would be the only reason why i see them dealing with NY even though it makes no sence to do from Houston perspective.

The thing i read before the deadline. Many teams want youth/assets/expiring contracts which benifits their goals. None of them benefit Houston goals and that is where the issues arise. Even teams who benefit more doing something un ordinary benefit more and they may be relunctant to do, because they think it's lop-sided.

I think Washington and NY has equal chance, but Washington makes even more sence for both teams. NY is only trying to 'build-in' it's agenda. Washington has goals as does Houston.

The Sixers make no sence unless they was moving all three Brand, Iggy, Dalembert in a 4 team scenario.

Chicago makes absolute no sence what so ever.

The only trades i can see Houston giving up youth/assets is for picks, thats the only way i can see that happening.

Portland makes sence for Bayless only.

 

Jamison, Butler, Miller, Stevenson who all 4 are older for just McGrady, Lowry, Cook and both of Houstons picks.

As i see 3 wash. rotation players goto houston i doubt that would work plus jamison is there only true scorer. Take out Jamison and add M.James. 3 Expiring and Jamison for hou offer. That would be a even steven deal. They cant trade Haywood because they would have no center

 

It was an article from the Washington Post with a Feigen bit.

lol! post of the day. :grin:

 

Get Butler by any means except one!
=> Don't trade Scola!

 

looks like no butler

 

The names that have come up most often in trade talk concerning the Mavs are Sacramento's Kevin Martin, Philadelphia's Andre Iguodala and Washington's Caron Butler. Of the three, Iguodala would be the best fit. He's an excellent defender, athletic, plays hard and piles up a lot of points even though he's not a particularly good shooter. Plus, he just turned 26. Martin's essentially a Mav-in-spirit: good shooter, poor defender. He'd give them scoring they lack at the two-guard, but he won't make them any scrappier. Butler's a better defender than Martin, but it's not anything to brag about
