    I read something like Marquis Chris ego and a draft pick would work as well... if it does, then that would be the way to go....

    Can’t include Chriss in a package trade until end of year. Butler trade is going to happen in week or two. If it’s not PJ, it’s going to be Nene.

    Just hope that’s enough to entice Minny. May have to include VE and/or Hartenstein along with a first.

    Miami has the best combo of talent to offer, IMO.

    1. Curry was an above average allstar guard before Kerr, and I'd assume he's the same after Kerr. I would not trust having him as a #1 option on a title team for multiple years like Harden. Tier 1 is strictly #1 options on potential dynasties.

    2. Kawhi sat because he had beef with Pop, the injury was long healed. He will be back to form.

    3. Lol! Leaps and bounds? Talk to me when Greek Freak goes head to head with the GOAT and pushes him to 7 games. But first, he must learn to shoot. Until then he's a gimmick.
    And I was one of the first on his dick his first year in the league. He can be special but he ain't there yet

    4. Dude, I'm not gonna sit here and list every player in the league. I put McCollum in Tier 3 because he's a tier 3 player. That doesn't mean Lillard is tier 4, it just means I didn't put him on the list. Lillard is CLEARLY the better player

    5. Nah. Jimmy is who he is, a third option on a title team.

    EDIT: Sorry for coming off as a total c*ck, just got off a long night shift lmao. I respect your opinion but think otherwise

    I don't think so, he's a great shooter, more consistent than Gordon like @icewill36 said, but overall there's much more difference in Gordon's favor on the defensive end than in CJ's favor on the offensive end, add that Gordon gets half the money and yeah...Gordon pretty much gets paid like a regular role player and he's much more than that, while CJ gets paid like a star and he isn't.

    Yeah, i guess that's possible, i mean, in the end what we know is that Taylor wants Butler out so he'll be traded soon, we don't know for what thought, i'd say if Thibs still can/want to dictate what they'll get back, we might have a better chance to get Butler, if Taylor is going to dictate what theyìll get back too eh, i think you're probably right and other teams will get him, we just don't have the young pieces to compete in that scenario.

    CP3/Harden/Butler/Tucker or Melo/Capela

    With a starting lineup like that the Warriors might finally be worried a bit about next season.

    Also cause Butler might very well be the last star we are able to add going forward with this core...at some point i think Davis will be available but we won't have the assets to be in the mix.

    Why don’t we bring in Butler and Thibs to coach the Defense

    I would argue that we derailed it.... haha just kidding buddy!

    I saw something about the owner of the TPups wanted Butler traded soon. Did someone post the article?

    Edit: It's redundant but it does mention he wants this done within days:

    Knight and Zhou along with a pick should get it done. Minny in rebuild afterJB gone, so this is a good one for them. Just have to wait till Oct. 31st

    We can't trade Knight yet, and I'm pretty sure that deal isn't good enough.

    We don’t have nearly enough assets to get Jimmy.

    I can't see how Morey could possibly pull off a trade for Butler but if he does I say we erect a statue of him in front of the Toyota Center. Having Butler as a third option and Capela as our fourth would definitely put is in the fight with the Warriors.

    So he was able to play, but sat out because he was butting heads with the coach? Let his teammates down? Let all the Spurs fans down? Just because he felt personally disrespected by the consensus best coach in the league?

    I had no idea Kawhi had such McGrady-level leadership skills.

    I think Butler wants to join Lebron.
