Hope the Heat , and Riley, can appreciate that it may be good to stand firm on what you want for Butler, but not to the point where you’re hurting the team. They need to get a trade done in 40 hours, and get Butler off the books so we can move on.
butler looks bad now rc cant see a team wanting him.hes a good player 35 oft injured not explosive.his level like demar derozan hes not a fox luka ad .is he really worth it for the way he has made himself look.pats gonna have to get pennies on the dollar for him
Yes, Pennies on the dollar. His value is as a rental for maybe two or three teams. But, he will torpedo those deals. So, now it’s starting to look like no trade, I’d say now a fifty fifty chance. Maybe tomorrow will be the day if it’s a multi teamer because with all those moving parts, it can fall apart if it’s done at the last minute.
rileys gonna have to deal him after the way he has behaved,hes not going to get a good package pats no bill zito
Not anymore.
sports is what have u done for me lately 30.bill zito is the best gm in so fla not even close.
wiggins is as good as jimmy now why would gsw do that deal.maybe combo smart kennard clarke,but that doesnt make us much better.memphis okc hous dont need old man jimmy.unless your getting there 7 8 9 type players
Seems like if Jimmy says no on those deals teams listen and withdraw. Not sure why. They must be really afraid of a malcontented Jimmy.
I continue to be angry at the commissioner for not stepping in. The word is, is that there is no direct proof that Butler or his agent have directly told any team that he doesn’t want to play there and won’t sign an extension. Well, obviously someone is telling them. If you or I are told that by those 2 and we relay that information to the other teams, we would be acting as agents for Butler and that should be actionable.
First, Wiggins doesn’t have anywhere near the playoff accomplishments Butler has had. That’s what they would want him for. Next, getting him off our books frees up some money that we could use for a possible buy out player. Last, he is a cancer on this team now and will be one the rest of the season if he’s still here. Let’s give the young guys a break so they can concentrate on life after Butler.
off to phily doubt joel plays
dissapointing loss but not really surprising
bam and ware played ok.still need a ss on team to really challenge the better teams
ware kinda disappears on offense need to feed him more .
keshad johnson couldnt help us little bit spobot
not enough athletes
that got to many athletes jovic jjj ty cant keep up
The way I am putting it from now on is…a lot of redundancy in the skillsets.
yes there all similar skill sets
Different players, with somewhat different assets, and some similar limitations.
We used up our offense in the 1st half lol
used up our d the whole game
6 turnovers! 6 too many
Super frustrating
wow bam is so clutch
vucevic gonna help somebody dudes a good player
Offense sputtering
looked like offensive foul on white

That lineup seemed slightly gassed there. Good TO

A TO is less embarrassing then being carried out like Paul Pierce
