Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[don ramon]

I lied anyways. My ****s still ****ed up. It don't matter, my toes aint my money makers when it comes to impressing the ladies. In fact, I havent even had a real woman in a while. And even if my feets was nice I'd wear socks during because I get more traction that way, barefoot be all slippery and plus I got athletes foot be done scraped somebody's leg up. I hate when my feet hang over the edge of the bed but dont touch the ground, I feel so unstable.

i can appreciate niketalkers exposing their vulnerabilities here

 

[you go boy]

I hope the trade goes into the all Star break and Miami trades the kitchen sink for Butler kinda like how the knicks gave away the farm for melo

 

[B Sox]

I don't blame Thibs for not wanting to trade him, since he makes them the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference and there's no way whatever they get in return will keep them there. Has to be done though.

At this point everything's too far gone. Taylor should have done the obvious thing and gotten rid of Thibbs and anyone associated with him once this whole thing started

 

[Quincy McCall]

Thibbs just diminishing his returns at this point, there's not a power play to be made

 

[Brownstone]

You can't drive up the price with one bidder, this is basic economics.

 

[BIG FISH]

Thibs is an idiot. A selfish and shortsighted one at that.

From Barry Jackson

Asked what the Wolves are seeking, a Heat source said: “The first born of all our kids.”

Still, the source declined to rule out the possibility of a deal still happening if Minnesota lessens its demands.

The Wolves are believed to be asking for several of the assets the Heat considers most valuable: Josh Richardson, Bam Adebayo, Goran Dragic, Kelly Olynyk, Justise Winslow and a No. 1 pick.

Miami had shown willingness to include Richardson after initially balking, according to a source.

Take JRich and run family

I think the Cavs were lowkey sandbagging last year to get Bron the **** outta there

Now they getting touches these dudes playing harder in a pre season game then they did in the NBA finals

 

[blakep267]

Looks like you right on the post game. If he can get into the mid to high 60's at the FT line that would be really good progress

It's still a little sad that Ben is so adamant about not improving his shot in the now. His goal of winning a championship depends on it

Well I’d say the sixers depend on what fultz does( I actually like shamet more than Fultz). Against Boston they basically needed another weapon. JJ gets run off the 3 point line, embiid is battling against Haynes, ben has horford on him. Last post season people gloss over that Saric and Covington also did nothing but the blame gets thrown upon Ben. The team needs a consistent 4th guy on the team

Thibs/Wolves want a lot of **** for Butler

 

[LowLifeMac]

Random but man the thought of the hawks getting RJ Barett or Zion next draft makes me smile..Doom and gloom is almost over Hawks fam (the 4 of us in this thread )

 

[buc em]

This was nice.

 

[MajinZuub]

at any time Fultz makes a jumpshot a video of it gets posted

 

[datznasty]

Exactly. Steven Adams made 7 of 17 in practice yesterday.

 

[Brownstone]

Thibs/Wolves want a lot of **** for Butler

If I can get 1 more quality player than I give away 3 if we give away two etc...Wolves fans have to be happy with that.

Thibs is scared he may have to coach a team full of young guys oh no! He might have to earn his paycheck!

It's really getting embarrasing. People on both sides of this thing need to let the kid live.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Random, but watching Mahomes this season, dude is their sport's version of Steph. Light skinned, different smooth type play style putting up nutty numbers

 

[friscostylez]

are the cavs making the playoffs without Bron this year?

 

[alchemist iq]

are the cavs making the playoffs without Bron this year?

Definitely not.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

It wouldn't be a shock if the Cavs made the playoffs. There really isn't much separation in the Eastern Conference after Boston, Philly, Toronto...and maybe Indiana/Milwaukee. Anything can happen with Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, Charlotte, Miami, etc.

People thought Indiana would be one of the worst teams in the league last year. I'm not counting Cleveland out. There is talent on that roster.

 

[pmatic]

Dan Gilbert will want to make the playoffs too.

Speaking of:



The pettiness.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Nah, don't see it with CLE, Charlotte neither. I'd sooner put Stones through the door than either of them

Anyone who thought Indy was going to be one of the worse teams in the league were smoking good. They had nice depth coming in, I had them as a non-homecourt team that summer

 

[Moheezy]

It's really getting embarrasing. People on both sides of this thing need to let the kid live.

I completely agree. Just let the kid do his thing and let's wait for actual games.

I'm glad him and Hanlen agreed not show any shooting footage until the very end

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Vegas has over/under Cleveland at 30.5 wins. I'm irrationally confident they get the over and must have gotten into @the collector 's meth stash because I think they can get 39ish wins

Mmm hmm
