Another big body to help with Yao's minutes. Its clear that the great Deke does not have anything left in the tank. He's not reacting to the ball, he can't rebound anymore. I love his presense in the lockeroom, but the more and more Yao plays, I see another knee or ankle going out! Which is why we shoulda kept Butler's guaranteed contract
Jackie Butler was really bad. We can pick up a scrub who would contribute more than Butler could have.
I said before the season that I didn't think signing Deke was a good idea, that he should have just retired, and that he doesn't fit. I still stand by that. DD
If we had kept Harris, we could have traded Bonzi. But, we still needed a backup C, either Deke or Butler, in case Yao gets hurt.
Will probably see Scola getting more spot minutes at the center spot Jackie Butler was a bad player, had a worse case to make the team than Justin Reed Its what the board has being saying all along Either get a BIG power forward next to Yao to mask his deficiencies Get a big 3 point shooting or outside shooting power forward to free him up more So he can just concentrate on scoring
No we shouldn't. At least Deke contributes on defense and rebound whereas Butler doesn't do anything but put on a body on the court.
has anyone signed butler yet? that is a pretty big red flag if you ask me if he hasnt been signed. a young big man with lots of the "p" word should have a lot of teams interested and yet they aren't
Bass got nothing special. He is just another Undersized F with a jumpshot. The Mavericks are still lacking the post presence. By the way, what happen to Big Jake?! From the limited play time he performed really well last year.
Don't look like the other teams are fighting each other to sign him. There is a reason why the Spurs were willing to trade Scola for nothing in return? ................................................................................ The name is Jackie Butler!
