Jimmy Butler wants out? (He does.)

[Natebishop3]

That's why some of us are so adamant that we ought to trade for Buttler. Production wise, CJ and Butler are not even in the same zip code. If you can make that trade, you do it.. no questions asked

I'm also not convinced that CJ won't want to leave when his contract is up. His aspirations seem much bigger than Portland.

Aminu is a problem as a full time SF

Aminu is a problem as a full time STARTER, regardless of position. He's a natural bench player, not a starter.

 

[Hoopguru]

Harkless isn't any better in either of those departments.

Mo & Wiggins are similar in that they are both really laid back guys and sometimes just go through the motions.

You know what sucks about this thread is its got me thinking about Dame, Butler and Nurkic on the same team. Which I kind of know wont happen...

We have the best back court in the league and everyone’s jealous, stop crying, nerd.

I’m a huge NO on Butler. Fuck him.
I’m very open to dealing CJ just not for him.

For basketball reasons? or you just dont like him?

For non basketball reasons. 100% against adding him.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Also interesting, Butler has a higher Simple Rating than Dame. +14.2

AND a higher net production of On/Off the court of +13.6 compared to Dame's +11.3.

Dame has a higher production net though.

Butler's numbers are pretty fucking staggering. If you put him with Dame and Nurk..... I don't know... that team could be pretty scary.

Make it happen Olshey.

Before he got hurt, Butler was probably top 5 MVP candidate. He took Wolves from Lotto to 3rd in West before he got hurt.

Fair enough, I know he’s got the reputation problems.

Chemistry major?

It would be interesting to see the Wolves' defensive stats with and without Jimmy - my vague recollections are that it's a huge difference.

Gorgui Dieng - C - Minnesota Timberwolves
ESPN's Zach Lowe reported that league sources indicate that the Timberwolves prefer to package Jimmy Butler with Gorgui Dieng and the $48 million he's owed over the next three years.

Dieng was routinely pulling in top-60 value in 9-cat before Taj Gibson came to town so a trade to a better situation might do him some good. We're sure there will be a lot more updates on the Jimmy Butler situation so stay tuned.

[SheedSoNasty]

I’d love both on this team.

 

[JDC]

I’d love both on this team.

Yup. A lot of people shit on Deing last year, but his struggles were largely based on having to play with Crawford during most of his minutes.

-12.8 per 100 poss. w/ Crawford vs +8.7 w/o

LoL...

Lol yeah but he posts stuff from a lot of places not just woj. You look at the summer threads and he’s all over it. Heck it a lot more than I am.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I’m guessing Butler is out by Wednesday.

Do you have a link on how that works?

I don't. I just happened to be reading HoopsHype, which collects all the NBA Media tweets.

More impressive than me posting them then. Sometimes I'll literally click the share button within the notification, open up my browser (which usually has the forum on it), and immediately upload haha.

Do you have the Twitter mobile app? On someone's account, there should be a bell icon next to "following". If you click that, it should provide notification options for that specific account.

Guess his next team

Everyone is saying Brooklyn but since we want him, I’ll guess worst case scenario; Denver.

Man if he went to Denver that'd really suck.

I feel like Charlotte might be a darkhorse. Bridges, Lamb, picks and filler salary?
