Philadelphia 76ers Turned Down Jimmy Butler For #3, So What's Keeping the Celtics From Grabbing Him?

[Mask]

With Butler the Cavs still wouldn't beat the Warriors in a 7 game series.

Shit I don't think they need bulter or George to beat the dubs. A system change could help them. Kyrie and Lebron work for them points, which against the dubs defense on the role players make it tough. ISO and pick & roll(a two man ISO) eliminates the role players effectiveness at anything.

Adding Bulter or George would make that shit pretty interesting.

I'd see who's retiring on my roster...

Probably 3(dahtnay jones, Richard Jefferson and James jones)

If I have to trade I'd trade love to free up some money...

Sign Rudy Gay and Terrance Jones(if he's free) and ball the fuck out!!!


Move Lebron to the point, slide Kyrie to the 2 and run the offense thru him.


Lebron, deron, Kay
Kyrie, smith, korver
Rudy, shum
Jones, fyre, Williams
TT, Walter

They gonna have to give up 2 picks for Butler; but they got either the Lakers pick or the Kings pick; so they can afford to give up 2 picks; plus they still have NJ pick for next year as well

Yeha they got the picks for it.

 

[BDR]

Boom!!

Yo the bottom is falling out over there.. it's reported that some players didn't even know the dude was fired and in the middle of negotiations


@gene cisco get in here and explain this fuckery going down in Cleveland

@gene cisco @godofwine @BAG etc etc...

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

PG going to Lakers; they gonna have to trade for him though; give them Russell, Deng and a #1 for PG

They dont have to trade for him and wont. Hes a URFA after this season and can sign him straight up without losing anything

 

[Day_Carver]

Yep, I think they did the trade with the sixers just to try to do this trade; now they can offer 2 #1 picks and a player for butler; and they dont have to give up the Nets pick for next year either; if they get Butler then it was a smart move to trade with the sixers...

So... LeBron is already being run to death so you put him to play the most demanding position on the floor? That actually makes a LOT of sense....

 

[Day_Carver]

Yes they do; I was thinking they didnt either, but if another team can get him, they might be able to convince him to stay; I think the Lakers have to make a move; dont wanna take that chance; but what they should do is either include deng or mozgov in the negotiations since the pacers have no leverage...

They been knew dude was coming back...the Orlando Magic been on deck wanting Griffin, I'm sure they ain't trying to him go somewhere else.

So if Griffin contract is up at the end of the month but working on the love to the pacers deal so how he'd fired. Something don't sound right.

That ninja chose to be ran to death...
That's what don't makes sense.

But putting him at point makes it worse

Yup. Danny had a plan. And they can still get Gordon from Utah.

Yes they can; but who plays the 4 with that lineup? and how does J Brown develop with both of those there? very interesting though...

Fuckin Bulls We got no direction or leadership, so you gonna trade away a local favorite, who's coming into his prime, for a a possible ok new kid, what's our end game here, I need a drink

Trade Butler for the #3 pick in a draft where there's 1 maybe 2 guys who seems to stand above everyone else. GarPax needs to go ASAP.

 

[Z MONSTER]

I know I'm going to catch heat for this, but I think Jimmy Butler is overrated as hell. Dude showed up in the playoffs a few years ago and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Kind of like what happened to Tristan Thompson last year.

I dont think hes a superstar player; but I think he could go well with other star players

 

[Mt Airy Groove]

Sixers are going to draft a center.

Non-Sixers fans clown the move, but at the time it was all about taking the best player available and hoping that one of the players would either become a franchise player and/or trading them for value. Although it didn't work exactly as planned, the Sixers are currently in a better spot than they were in 2013.

Got rid of 3 faces of the franchise in 3 years in a row

Thibs
Pooh
Jimmy

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Sixers did a good thing finally. No need to trade for him.

Bulls are like we're trying to just blow this shit up we don't want to win and that's crazy.
Nobody is calling out these teams that's "close" and are like fuck it

Like Toronto is a team full of bitchassness but their GM is like look we gonna TRY now our players ain't got no heart but I'm trying to put the team together to do something. offer up some fight.

We are holding these super teams hostage

Danny ainge is in a Bind

PHILLY is fucking PHILLY

Cavs need Jimmy cause pG won't commit long term



Garpax holds the lottery ticket

We are using heavy leverage to use with the Celtics

If wolves offers Wiggins, Dunn and number 7

That's better than any Boston move

Boston gina have to come up off of brown, number 3 BKN 2018 and lakers 2018

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Nigga I just heard danny is trying to trade down even more to get more picks!!!!

Word? So why is Bron shocked?

 

[Eclipse99]

If Cleveland cant get Paul George. Trade love for CJ McCullum. Dude is an upcoming SG. Can score on or off the ball. And can play the point if need to.

Free up some cap space and sign Ersan Ilasoyva (dude is not that bad as a shooter/scorer and a decent rebounded) and possibly Tony Allen for defensive purposes. He may take a paycut. He candy defend the 2 or 3 at a high level. KD always had problems with him.

This may not be ideal but if the CAVS are looking to move Love. I don't think CJ McCullum would be a bad fit. The league is g

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Cavs need a half breed

Devon Booker on the Cavs would be brazy!!!!

 

[Mask]

That ninja just using that as a escape goat for when he leave. You know dude is loyal and like for people to get paid for they're work. Griffin out in work over that last fee years. Cavs added piece when many thought they couldn't.

it makes no sense for minnesota but then again thibs acts like he can't coach anyone but his young players
thibs should be looking at something else. some vets and such the young team is good or was good when sam mitchell had them

Minnesota fuckin fools to do this.

earlier I was like that don't sound like the crazy shot taker I watched.

 

[Coldchi]

i doubt the Cavs would want to rent PG for a year with no guarantees

 

[Mack1052]

he can't do any of those things lol

He most definitely can score off the ball. Jump shot is pretty consistent

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

that's not how he's effective in portland so i haven't seen it.
also point guard ....
he is a scorer. a really good scorer so im not trying to slight him
but if you gonna trot out c.j. kyrie and lebron
them other 2 niggas just need gloves to catch them boards

Trade not going happen but..

All LeBron gotta do is play point with Kyrie and CJ. LeBron really works with anybody

 

[Mask]

Man I don't know what to think about them...
Gilbert wanted blatt
Griffin wanted Lue
Blatt didn't like Love
Griffin was told by blatt "it's either him or me" griffin didn't want to trade love
Now...

Griffin didn't want to trade for Melo, that's why those phone calls went unanswered

Gilbert wants Butler rather that George because he wants to stay a contender. Just say Pau and Lebron leave next year and you gave up Love...it's back to lottery.

Griffin probably feels landing Pau would keep Lebron.


Griffin didn't want to trade for melo...
Gilbert

All of this with the idea talk around talk, Lebron ain't gonna let Gilbert continue to make money off his back.
So it's seem like the King will relocate next summer.
