Torn ACL's are not the death sentence they used to be, but its kind of unknown territory when it happens to an athletic 7'3 human  No way he'll be the same imo, but it doesn't have to be the end.  I'm just along for the ride on As the Butler turns, eating my popcorn....

If he's 27/28 and still letting big personalities dominate what should be his locker room, then it'll be a real problem.  But the bit about Butler guarding him in the post and KAT couldnt handle him and passed it back out was problematic. That's what a soft player would do. He cant be that. 12 hours ago, Renegade7 said: Rather have him then Otto.  I mean, one guy's an all-star, all-NBA kinda talent and the other is Otto. And Butler is $10mil cheaper. I think everybody would rather have him than Otto. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm a contender this season or next give me Butler, otherwise I'd take Otto. I don't like Butler longer term because of the mileage on him. Butler is the clearly better player, but Otto would be the better long term play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Butler is also a crappy teammate and he can't shoot. But he's a beast of a scorer. And a bulldog on defense. I'd take him over Otto and try and figure out how to make the spacing work later.  That'd be a pretty explosive locker room though. No chance he and John Wall wouldn't get in a fight in training camp. * forgot about the contract situations. I wouldn't take Butler over Otto without him agreeing to an extension first.

Kosher Ham Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I said last season the Lakers were better than they seemed but not really that good. This year they will be a top three team in the west. Ingram is going to show out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have no time for this Jimmy Butler was mean stuff.  According to reports he played with the reserves and took it to the team’s stars and talked mad trash the whole way.  KAT and Wiggins should be embarrassed that something like this is being reported as being a problem for them.  If they can’t stop Butler between the two of them, the real problem isn’t that Butler was mean.  It’s that their sorry asses couldn’t stop him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wall would benefit from a credible all star that can bark back at him in those players only meeting and film room sessions.  He may not like it but it probably ends up getting better because of it.  As long as Butler didn’t needle Big Panda, things would be fine.  I’m convinced that Beal is the crazy one, not Wall.  Just look at how much smiling Wall does at Beal, versus everyone else.  Yeah, Beals the scary one for sure.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It is clearly a different path to try to force a trade then we've seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be on a team with people who care as much as he does for it work. He's not built to play the teacher role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good fit for the Pacers.  Too bad he didn’t list them as a place he wanted to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I want to see him on the Wizards so they can still not win 50 games and also because Butler and Wall will have a fight by the all star break.  It might end up helping team chemistry since it could cause other players to actually like Wall and side with him over Butler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't necessarily agree with how he's going about it, I think Butler's objective has merit. I imagine that players have sense of those who are just happy to be in the league and those who are serious about their craft. I think he sees KAT and Wiggins and he senses they not the type to go all out. If I were a Minnesota fan, regardless of how the Butler situation plays out, I'd be worried because the two guys handed max deals are getting emasculated and not doing a damn thing about it. Their talent is not in question, at least KAT's, but they showing you what is, or in this case is not, on the inside.

Going Commando Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Klay Thompson says the Warriors want to win one more championship for the city of Oakland before they move to the distant shores of San Francisco because the fans in Oakland "might not get to see them much any more."  They are bored and struggling to come up with motivation to get through the season. The NBA is a video game and the lack of competition is even boring for the players themselves.
