Stein: Cavs Working on Multiple Trade Scenarios to Acquire Jimmy Butler

[tholdren]

A total loser. With three rings.

You can gay emoji the out of the thread, but the fact remains he won without integrity, so in the grand scheme of life it doesnt mean anything. He paid for it, didnt win it.

Shade at Dan Gilbert. Straight from the horse's mouth.

Remember when the Spurs could have had Jimmy Butler in the 2011 draft and took Corey Joseph one pick before the Bulls landed him at #30?

I don't blame the Spurs for passing up on him. Jimmy is one of those guys that no one could have predicted that he would be an all-star caliber player. Even his college coach never foresaw him being an all-star. This clip shows how unique his trajectory was.

Yes and if the Spurs had drafted him they probably don't draft Kawhi.

I think he'd be a perfect fit. Butler is a good three point shooter so he could space the floor plus he's awesome on defense when focused. Gives them a third creator which they didn't have.

In addition to being iso-heavy, Butler is a career 33% 3-point shooter who goes through stretches where he can't make anything from outside..teams would be begging for a Lebron/Butler wing duo to shoot from outside, tbh..

Wade and Lebron had issues with shooting and redundancy, but they were still in their primes, 2 of the most athletic players we have ever seen..

I'd still take the risk if I was Cleveland, but I wouldn't expect anything special IMO..

I didn't think he'd be an all star but I was calling him the perfect role-player/backup at the SF/SG positions before that draft. TD 21, I remember vividly, was saying he'd be a scrub.

Because it's becoming known LeBron is out of Cleveland....

[BatManu20]

Yep Jimmy Buckets knows that Lebron is likely gone after next season.

[Hoops Czar]

2009 all over again. Nobody wanted to be traded to Cleveland because they Didn't have assurance from LeBron that he was staying. Bad sign for Cleveland.

And Butler knows what's really up-- probably through Wade who just opted in in CHI..Lebron to LA/LAC in 2018 is more than just mere scuttlebutt at this point..
