Jrag Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Butler is clearly a hard personality to play with, but, it's worth noting that in both this situation and the one if Chicago.... he was right about his teammates. I really hope they work a deal out with Houston so Butler can play with some like-minded individuals. That's the most interesting scenario when it comes to anyone beating the Warriors. Butler and CP3 feels like a match made in competitive heaven. I totally get whey they won't throw PJ Tucker in the rumored Gordon for Butler deal though. As weird as it is, you need that guy if you want to challenge GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Reportedly Richardson, Waiters and an first were a done deal for Butler, then Thibs called Riley back to ask for more picks. Allegedly Pat responded by calling him a motherfucker and hanging up. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I read something that said it was worse than that. Thibs wanted Miami to take Dieng's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, that scuttled the first set of talks, then they bore down to get a deal done that would only send Butler to Miami. They got as far as sending medical reports, which in the NBA means the deal is done unless you find something in those reports. Then... Thibs.

I'm going to laugh and laugh when this is revisited sometime around the new year and Butler is traded straight up for Dion Waiters because Thibs is a moron.

Jrag Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thibs is going to wait so long and kill the trade value so much that we're going to end up with Jimmy Butler: Golden State Warrior. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Damn, Spurs G Derrick White will be out 6-8 weeks with a torn ligament in his heel. So the Spurs PG rotation is Patty Mills and....Patty Mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love what Milwaukee did this off-season (well except that they are a division rival) A veteran coach who always overachieved his roster and will force a much faster pace, a big man that can hit the three and open up the floor for Giannis... That's smart team building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's smart team building. I've got pretty mixed feelings about it. Coach Bud and Lopez were both really great moves, but I think they whiffed on the draft and they're going to regret the Ilyasova contract. And while letting Jabari walk was probably the right move I definitely feel some kinda way about how that whole situation went down. But if Giannis is going to go all Breaker of Worlds this year the mistakes might not matter too much. Richard Jefferson announced his retirement. I was sure he had already retired after winning a ring with Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
