Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[pmatic]

Same here man. Zo might be the worst pick we’ve ever made considering it was a #2 pick in a loaded draft class. Those eggs and pancakes Lavar made for Magic sealed the deal smfh . Sad thing is not one team in the league would trade a projected top 10-15 pick for Zo right now. Not one

Lol it never fails.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

If they refuse to give up Harris, I'm demanding SGA if I'm Minnesota

 

[B Sox]

Lol it never fails.

Don't know how you level-headed fans can deal with it

I sure they would rather give up Tobias

 

[P C H]

There’s a ton of reasons why the Clips wouldn’t want to part with Tobias, and Jimmy comes with serious baggage and mileage concerns,

But Jimmy is a top 12 nba player and Tobias just averaged 19 a game and got to the line 2 times a game with LAC. Idk man, I’d probably do it.

Would you give up SGA or Robinson?

Do you want to pay Tobias long term since he's a UFA next summer?

Does getting Jimmy Butler in the fold now give you a better chance at Kawhi (or KD?) next summer?

A straight up trade isn't bad at all, I would be worried about the other pieces u would need to throw in.

 

[kevlar]

Would LAC be able to sign Kawhi if they resign Tobias & max out Jimmy?

No.

I’d stop at SGA but I could be convinced on anyone else on the roster.

 

[alchemist iq]

You guys think lakers need Kawhi after seeing the performance they are displaying in preseason?


My answer: Nah

That’s the thing with Tobi, he turned down an 80M extension, he’s trying to get north of 100Ms next summer. I’m not comfortable with that, but then again I don’t think Tobias (who I like a lot) is a star.

The ultimate trump card that makes me okay that trade is you’re obviously trading Tobias for Jimmy and Kawhi or KD or something like that.

Maybe Tobias takes a leap though this year and becomes a true 100M player, we’ll see

 

[BIG FISH]

Of course it’s not if you’re a Clippers fan lol
Jimmy is a better player by a pretty good margin

Pay Tobias Harris when he'll probably never be a top 30 (much less top 15) player in the league or pay Jimmy into his mid-30s?

Not an easy decision, but the latter. You pay Jimmy into his mid 30's and hope that he + max player 2 make the most out of those early 30 years.

 

[Lizakers]

Don't know how you level-headed fans can deal with it

Oh my God how do you deal with some stranger on an online forum criticizing another person none of us know who puts a ball in a basket? None of this matters .

 

[shotsrangout]

Lol at Lonzo being a bust after a season. Y’all really think rondo is gonna be the starter the entire season right

Ya'll just avoided that with CP3 and Blake tho.

The 2 star plan only works if one of them is KD or Kawhi.

If Kawhi doesn't commit there's no way I sign Jimmy to the max, rather keep the flexibility.

 

[Based Jesus]

In MSG and it's not for the Knicks game. Didn't even know they were playing until I was in here

If LeBron wants him to be hell Yea

Eh. Rondo on a 1 year deal and Bron is committed for 4. He can't really force Luke to do that. Rondo may start out the season as the starter as Zo makes his way back from the injury.

This is so clippers

Let’s say Lonzo is out the first 15 games and
We are 12-3 Rondo avg 12 dimes a night and got the team rollin, does Lonzo get his spot back?

The likelihood of any of that happening is zero.
