Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[RustyShackleford]

This. He wants guys that will compete with him and aren't scared to check him. It would be a ridiculous collection of egos, but it could potentially work

Even if it goes spectacularly wrong, it will be the best reality show going. A win for fans either way.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That team if they add Jimmy right now less than a week before the start of the season is not better than the Celtics, Sixers, Pacers, Raptors or Wizards.

The Wizards are known for not playing up to their potential. Nobody can honestly say where they'll be.

 

[B Sox]

I think a Wall/Beal/Butler/Dwight core COULD be better than Philly and Indiana.

At this point i'm gonna be rooting for trea young just due to the insane amount of hype 2k18 Hedo is getting

Sixers/Pacers/Wizards aren't good enough to be claimed to be head over heels better than the Heat now, even with the amount of injuries Heat sustained last yr, there wasn't a huge gap. Honestly more fearful of Mil with new management and a few new pieces than either of those teams but I'll let you call it in stone

Oubre and Porter for Jimmy

 

[Moheezy]

Butler is a cancer but at this point if KAT and Wiggins didn't even show any type of fire back in response to all this **** he's doing then something is wrong

Did KAT and/or Wiggins say anything about the incident yet? The only news I've heard was KAT playing PS4 Call of Duty with an Xbox controller.

Oubre and Porter for Jimmy

Oubre and Porter for Jimmy

Wolves need to do this. Porter is like the exact opposite of Jimmy. lol

 

[Moheezy]

What happened to "best practice of the summer" and "the team is at awe and energized"?

Pussycats

 

[Kinfolk]

Obviously it could be a ticking time bomb, but they would have a higher upside than they currently do if things did somehow work out.

Dwight, Wall and Jimmy in the same locker room? Traveling on the same plane? For roughly 6-7 months?

Grunfeld would have to be considered as an accessory to whatever crimes transpire during that time.

Javaris/ Gilbert 2.0

They would never...

 

[alchemist iq]

 

[Maximus Meridius]

If the Hawks and Hornets had Dwight acting sensitive he definitely couldn't be a locker room with Wall AND Jimmy.

 

[MVP]

Lol KAT charmin soft.

The Wizards are already in the luxury tax i’d be shocked if they traded for Butler and added on to it.

 

[jsindaa]

Oubre and Porter for Jimmy

Gotta keep one.... Don't know what you have in Troy Brown yet. Porter, Brown and a pick(s). That might be a bit much though given the situation. I actually kinda like Jimmy in Washington. His personality might be the bridge between Wall and Beal

They'd basically be swapping Otto's max for a higher one. Gotta pay to play though.

I’m probably way off base but I assumed the drafting of Brown had something to do with Oubre?
And I think Brown + picks is a little excessive lol. Probably Porter + Brown or picks.

 

[MVP]

Silver def cashing out in the WCF

 

[BIG FISH]

The problem with the Heat is that while J Rich + a FRP is good... the salary filler is an issue. Almost everyone on that team besides Richardson, Bam, and Ellington ( Winslow is about to be extended), is on a horrible contract.

 

[hardens beard]

They'd basically be swapping Otto's max for a higher one. Gotta pay to play though.

Unless they could get rid of Mahimi they would be in the repeaters tax for the forseable future. Meaning they would be looking at 100M’s worth of just luxury tax.

 

[BIG FISH]

I don’t think the Wizards would resign Jimmy if they traded for him.
