He'd be a good addition actually.

Jimmy Buckets and his known friend Killa' Kyrie to Spur in 2019

:wow :wow :wow

:lobt2:

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fixed the initial post so now the image should show up

[SpursDynasty85]

Lol. Lakers will get him.

[Chillen]

I remember reading some rumor mill post wiggins/butler for Leonard.

do it RC!

[coachmac87]

Done Deal.

[NASpurs]

Thibs would kill Kawhi by playing him 40+ minutes a game. Do it RC.

[timtonymanu]

Lol. Lakers will get him.

or he will just go there like every other star player has to

[cool cat]

[SpursDynasty85]

Haha. Word. But seriously speaking, if Minny does decide to move him it puts the Spurs at a disadvantage since he will come cheaper than Kawhi. All the teams we are talking to will see him as 75% of whatever the Spurs are asking for Kawhi and they just might pull the trigger.

[monkeypunk]

Done Deal.

Yep, he's on a plane headed south.

Done. Deal.

[spurraider21]

Done Deal.
receipts?

[Mr. Body]

Butler barely moves the needle for me. One of those 'stars' that doesn't win basketball games. A Jerry Stackhouse type.

[Dverde]

They could do a three way trade with Lakers and Wolves. Big Jimmy Buckets fan. No way this happens.

[look_at_g_shred]

Just looked at that post right now and he's liking comments left and right even ones saying jimmy to celtics

[paperboy77]

Yes! Go RC!

[timvp]

After dealing with the Nephew situation, Butler would be a breath of fresh air. Native Texan who takes basketball really seriously and can be a leader from Day 1? I'd co-sign, even though he'd cost you max dollars but isn't quite a max player. Close enough, though.

[spurs10]

Kyrie and Buckets sounds sweet!

Yes and I just read (albeit in not an exactly reliable article) Kyrie really wanting to join him somewhere. It would indeed be a welcome break from Uncle "How To Lose $100 Million In A Day" Dennis saga!

[Hoops Czar]

Such an overrated player.

Do not want DeRozan, therefore, do not want Butler either.

not close to same player

[cool cat]

Then make that trade for Kemba!

LMA
Gay
Green
Butler
Kemba

Better lineup then

LMA
Gay
Ingram
Green
Murray

or
LMA
Saric
Gay
Fultz
Murray

[SpursDynasty85]

not close to same player

Butler has a better 3 and slightly better defense. Derozan is better at pretty much everything else. Also is bigger and longer. While Butler is a better fit for the Spurs. I would rank them relatively equal in talent and overall value.

[HarlemHeat37]

Butler's defense is waaaay better, not even in the same universe..he's an all-NBA defender, while DeRozan is one of the worst in the league, bad enough that his new coach has already called him out in it:lol

Butler is also in a different league as a passer..

I'm not a big fan of his, but he's a top 15 player..

How you gonna get Butler AND Kemba with only one Kawhi to trade?

[8FOR!3]

I get why he wants out of Minny, their franchise player doesn't play any defense. He knows that if one of them's got to go its going to be him

[hooperflash]

Apparently Pau Gasol might be trying to recruit him to the Spurs, which explains why he’s so open to the media regarding Kawhi.

[tonight...you]

:cry no thank you. Built not bought baby! Barbacoa and big red! :cry
:lol
One of your best, big dog.

[cool cat]

They were rumored to be getting Kemba to help Kawhi out before Kawhi wanted a trade, probably would have to trade Murray and some pieces.

I can see your point but Derozan just has a knack for scoring. He passes the eye test to me and has good length to be a 2 or 3. I imagine with proper coaching he will be just fine on the defensive end too.

[hooperflash]

The announcement should be coming up soon, tbh. :lol

1016750351037460481

[MoSpur02]

I would co-sign if they moved Kawhi to Minny for Butler

[Seventyniner]

Definitely the best player that's somewhat realistic to get back in a Kawhi trade.

Of course, Butler is just a rental himself.

[ducks]

get him for Gasol, mills, walker
could you imagine bulter and leonard on same team

[TimDunkem]

Poor man's Kawhi and still way better than anything they'll get in a trade for him. I'd like to see him on the Spurs. Will never happen tho'.

[cool cat]

Apparently Pau Gasol might be trying to recruit him to the Spurs, which explains why he’s so open to the media regarding Kawhi.

It would be the best assist he's done all year.

[Marcus Bryant]

:lol sending Leonard to Minnesota.

[Mr. Body]

I would be okay with Butler to the Spurs because it would mean sending Kawhi to fucking Minnesota.

[exstatic]

:lol sending Leonard to Minnesota.

That's going in as raw as keeping him all year and letting him walk, except we get a player in return. :lol He's not staying there, so he'd have no other choice than 4/$139M.

[Hoops Czar]

Apparently Pau Gasol might be trying to recruit him to the Spurs, which explains why he’s so open to the media regarding Kawhi.
That sounds like Danny Green trying to recruit Lebron.

Let's get this to 600 pages

[itzsoweezee]

That is definitely not an accurate description of Butler. The dude basically carried the wolves team to the playoffs last year. They sucked without him.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I remember reading some rumor mill post wiggins/butler for Leonard.

do it RC!

Yeah but isn't the reason Butler wants out is because he and Wiggins don't get along?

[TheDoctor]

But CoJo.

[tholdren]

Lol these nba divas that want out of everywhere.

:lol today’s nba stars

Lebum, doucherant made this all legit. Westbrook is the league alpha.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Poor man's Kawhi and still way bettper than anything they'll get in a trade for him. I'd like to see him on the Spurs. Will never happen tho'.

The bad thing with him is he’s not getting any better. At least with a Fultz or Brown you don’t know what you’ll get. They might be super stars where Butler is just a star. That being said, get him if you can.

[Snaq O'Meal]

get him for Gasol, mills, walker
could you imagine bulter and leonard on same team

PATFO couldn’t imagine that. They’d rather have CoJo than Butler tbh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Well he'll keep the spurs relevant at least

[MoSpur02]

His defense is overlooked because of how good his offense is. I would not hesitate to bring him in even if it's a possible rental.

[hater]

Just looked at that post right now and he's liking comments left and right even ones saying jimmy to celtics

:lmao

[TD 21]

I'm not a fan of his game, his personality isn't Spurs material (eccentric, massive ego), he has a budding injury history and will be 30 by the time the '19-'20 season tips off . . . but he's a sure fire top 15 player, so it's a no brainer to pursue this to the fullest extent. That means starting with the U.S. camp coming up and working the back channels throughout the season.

If they cave and accept a Saric, Covington, picks package, then sign him, they could quickly be more or less back to the level they've been at in recent seasons.

[phxspurfan]

If we got Butler and DeRozan for Kawhi that would be great. But we won't get either.

[Chris]

He'd be a good addition actually.

He would easily be 3rd option.

[sasaint]

get him for Gasol, mills, walker
could you imagine bulter and leonard on same team

I was dreaming that dream back when Jimmy wanted out of Chicago and might be had fairly cheaply. Instead PATFO wanted the salary slot for LMA.

[DAF86]

I was so lost on PATFO finally reaching senility that I missed this completely.

[rastaspur]

Im not trying to be cocky or a dick, but if you sre seriously wanting derozan then you truly dont understand basketball or couldn't recognize talent if it slapped you in the face. Derozan is the definition of fools gold.

[cutewizard]

Thibs would kill Kawhi by playing him 40+ minutes a game. Do it RC.

Agree hahahaha

[Ocotillo]

I would love to have him on the team. Imagine if he had been on last year's roster the seeding would have been a lot better than it was with Leonard out all season.

[rasuo214]

Jimmy Butler has had issues in both Chicago and Minnesota. What's stopping him from having issues in San Antonio as well?

Bulls are a terribly run franchise now. The owner has issues with GM, GM has issues with Coaches, Coaches has issues with players. They wanted to tank but the league stepped in.

[ElNono]

Jimmy might throw some shade on LMA, tbh.... you wouldn't want to make LMA angry... better to stick with the Forbes of the world, IMO...

[E20]

Everyone in here that is bagging on Jimmy and doesn't want him you're the reason why we keep signing dudes like Forbes to 2 year max deal smh. Karma

Gar and Pax suck, 1998 was the Bulls last NBA title and the Bulls franchise has had plenty of time to build a contender again and get back to the top. The Rose/Noah era failed.

[sammy]

I’d take Jimmy Butler over Kawhi! Send his ass to Minnesota! Thibs would kill him/run him into the ground!

[cutewizard]

:bobo

[Ice009]

I'll take Jimmy Butler over almost every alternative out there right now. I never would have chosen Jimmy over Kawhi, but I"d take him easily over all the trash that's getting offered up lately. And also, if that means Kyrie would want to come play with him, then even better.

[rasuo214]

I mean Jimmy complained that practices weren't hard enough and that teammates are lazy, wonder how he'll feel about LMA showing up overweight or when Pop wants to rest him.

[DAF86]

Three way trade:

-Spurs get Butler and Miami's unprotected 2020 pick.
-Wolves get Covington and a Philly 1st round pick.
-Sixers get Kawhi.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ybmx468w

-Spurs get as close a player as they probably can ever get to a Kawhi type, and a lottery pick.
-Wolves get a great 3 and D guy (who also led the league in +/- for small forwards) to pair with Wiggins and KAT, and a 1st round pick.
-Sixers get Kawhi by only giving up Covington and two draft picks.

Win/win/win. Imvho.

Minny ain't going to agree to give up the second best player in the deal and come out a distant third in a three team trade.

[SAGirl]

I think Jimmy is a real leader. Might be eccentric or demanding but he’s a leader. The best player available if they want to remain competitive right now.

[DAF86]

Minny ain't going to agree to give up the second best player in the deal and come out a distant third in a three team trade.

Them going from Butler to Covington is probably similar to us going from Kawhi to Butler, tbh. You never win when trading away a disgruntled star.

In any case, there are many assets that can be proposed to make the deal more appealing to Minnesota. A Saric, maybe.

[Ron Swanson]

Yeah, Philly would have to give up more to Minny to make that work.

[Vic Petro]

Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, arguably the premiere Wolves reporter in the country, told KFAN's Dan Barreiro on Monday that "some pretty good news" could come out (https://player.fm/series/dan-barreiro/bumper-to-bumper-dan-is-back-dive-expert-jonny-athletic?t=7485) this week. "There is the potential for some pretty good news to come out of here over the next four or five days, we'll see if it happens or not," said Krawczynski, who is in Las Vegas covering the Wolves' Summer League team.
Krawczynski confirmed that Karl-Anthony Towns could begin discussions with the Wolves this week regarding a possible five-year, $180 million contract extension, but that's not what Krawcyznski was referring to with his cryptic words.
"There is another thing that I have kind of been summoned out here to do, so we'll see how that goes," he said.
If anything, Krawczynski has created some suspense, especially because his mysterious mission comes on the heels of multiple reports that suggest Jimmy Butler doesn't like playing with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins, and that Towns has had his own issues with Minnesota's front office. in Wolves nation.

We need another player along with Butler and a pick. I dont see anyone outside of Wiggins I would take.

[jermaine]

They made a movie about Micheal Orr right!?! Why no movie about Butler thou???

[Chillen]

Ideally the Spurs would like to acquire Butler without moving Leonard and Aldridge. Spurs would at least have a new big 3 if that ever happened.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Would be a dream come true. If we get rid of the autistic mute and pick up Butler it'd be two big wins

[slick'81]

Butler is liking everyfans comments to get out of minny

[TimDunkem]

You realize Gasol played with Butler in Chicago, right?

[spurraider21]

covington and a sixers first (glorified second) for jimmy butler? :lmao

[Chillen]

Butler for Leonard works straight up in ESPN NBA trade machine. If Minny throws in some picks it might be the best value Spurs can get for Leonard right now. Wolves would have a 1 year rental of Kawhi. I know top 3 for top 20 player but the market for Kawhi isn't hot right now. Teams probably scared he ain't going to play.

[cutewizard]

Of course, but that does not necessarily translate into friendship.

I guess you are right. Gasol should have arrived with us in 2015....just after we won it

Spurs should've just drafted Jimmy when they had the chance tbh. Instead we took Cory Joseph. Yuck.

I remember ST intelligentsia saying Butler would be a scrub. Fast forward to 2018 and now they say the 2014 title hinged on CJ's dunk on Ibaka. :lmao

Also, never forget that RC took CJ because his adopted son wanted his best friend to play with the Spurs.

Minnesota. And Jimmy Butler.

Hope is Minnesota thinks they can make Kawhi stay with them if they do well on the season.

If not, three way deal with the Clippers. Clippers get Kawhi, Spurs get Butler, and Minnesota gets what the Clippers offer.

it's not like i've said i think bertans should never start... i've just pointed out that your constant projections are just wishcasting.

as far as fit, i think bertans made a ton more sense when kyle anderson was starting most of the year, and/or alongside danny green with a broken shot. with a good shooter like butler/kawhi at the 3, and with patty (or a green with re-discovered shot) starting, there is less of a need for bertans' shooting, since even LMA can stretch the floor

[DAF86]

Butler isn't a very good three point shooter, tbh. And regardless of that, he is going to be the one with the ball on his hands, so it makes more sense to have spot up shooters around him, like Bertans, than one on one players, like Gay.

Also, your problem is thinking these lineups of mine are projections. Well, they are, but of what I would do, not of what I think Pop will do.

[cool cat]

Yes, straight up Butler for Kawhi is 90cents on the dollar which better then any of the junk offers out there so far.

[Rocalcio]

I like this guy and I would totally see him at SA, but there is no way Leonard wants to go to Minny.

[look_at_g_shred]

If we traded for him and things go good, could we offer him an extension during the season?

[DAF86]

I like this guy and I would totally see him at SA, but there is no way Leonard wants to go to Minny.

Three way trade with the Clippers.

[TD 21]

:lmao At people reading into this.

There's been enough rumors of discontent and cryptic Instagram posts to believe he could be in play next off season, but this was a mere formality . . .


They can "only" offer him 4/$110M on an extension, but 5/$190M if he re-signs (4/$141M if he signs elsewhere).

[Chucho]

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycvs63w3

tbh

Great trade all day for everyone. Minny gets an extremely efficient backup center and a starting caliber bench player and we get a healthy all-star that can emote.

I love how it says it will decrease LA's wins by 22, which goes against dafag attention whore thread #235,294,182.5 about Kawhi making anyone an instant contender. I'm completely shocked.

[superbigtime]

Hopefully people can spell Jimmy more easily.

[BackHome]

It's like watching the bouncing ball every week it's another team another package of players.........Once again no one knows shit............:downspin: As Spur's Talk Continues......................;)

[**BUSTA**]

Three way trade with the Clippers.

I am glad so many are now on the Buckets bandwagon.

The problem with any 3way involving Butler and Kawhi is that Kawhi is so toxic that any third party (clippers or sixers) giving up assets may prefer Butler over Leonard and would just deal directly for Butler. The only way to get Butler would be for the third party to not be willing to offer enough to make a deal work. Spurs would have to add asset(s) to the 3rd party offer to get Butler. Hopefully that would only be a pick and Milutinov. I don't believe Spurs get anything extra in a Butler deal.

If Jimmy is available, Spurs should try to make a deal directly before Wolves start getting offers. It may already be too late. I am bummed.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I like this guy and I would totally see him at SA, but there is no way Leonard wants to go to Minny.

Maybe I'm confused but does it matter wtf Kawhi wants and where he wants to go? If Spurs trade him, it's to whomever they feel has has the best offer sheet. Teams not in LA already know it's most likely a 1 year rental.

[LkrFan]

Maybe I'm confused but does it matter wtf Kawhi wants and where he wants to go? If Spurs trade him, it's to whomever they feel has has the best offer sheet. Teams not in LA already know it's most likely a 1 year rental.

I agree, I’d love to trade him where he doesn’t want to, just to piss him. But it’s way too risky for the other team which will lose a good player for almost nothing if Leonard leaves after just one year.

[DAF86]

I am glad so many are now on the Buckets bandwagon.

The problem with any 3way involving Butler and Kawhi is that Kawhi is so toxic that any third party (clippers or sixers) giving up assets may prefer Butler over Leonard and would just deal directly for Butler. The only way to get Butler would be for the third party to not be willing to offer enough to make a deal work. Spurs would have to add asset(s) to the 3rd party offer to get Butler. Hopefully that would only be a pick and Milutinov. I don't believe Spurs get anything extra in a Butler deal.

If Jimmy is available, Spurs should try to make a deal directly before Wolves start getting offers. It may already be too late. I am bummed.

That might be true trading with a non LA team, but since we would be trading with the Clippers, that wouldn't be a problem. And the Clippers would obviously rather have Kawhi than Butler.

[TheDoctor]

I'll take Jimmy Butler over almost every alternative out there right now. I never would have chosen Jimmy over Kawhi, but I"d take him easily over all the trash that's getting offered up lately. And also, if that means Kyrie would want to come play with him, then even better.
Every alternative out there right now = CoJo.

Clippers may prefer Kawhi . That would be good. Clippers may not give the Wolves enough to give up Butler . That would be bad. Spurs would have to.add assets to make it work. That would be bad , but I would be ok depending on assets to be given. I don't know how many on this board would go for that.

I wish it could go the way you see it. Three way to hard to satisfy all partners.

I can see your point but Derozan just has a knack for scoring. He passes the eye test to me and has good length to be a 2 or 3. I imagine with proper coaching he will be just fine on the defensive end too.

He's got mental issues. He has depression. I am not saying it can't work but you need a mental toughness to win and I'm not sure he has it.

Give up our next year's first to Minnesota and get Sacramento's top one protected first.

Minnesota gets a promising young defensive minded talent along with an expiring contract on a player who can mentor KAT and an extra first.

Boston gets Kawhi and a chance to reach the finals in a wide open East.

San Antonio's new starting lineup:

PG-Kyrie
SG-Danny
SF-Jimmy
PF-Rudy
C-LA

Plus we move our first rounder up from the low 20's into the lottery.

The X factor is can the Spurs resign them both next year.

Lol these nba divas that want out of everywhere.

:lol today’s nba stars
paid too much, so they don't care about losing 30% for a better environment.

I didn't think so either until reports that the Spurs are rejecting the Celtics offer which is pick heavy. It seems while they want to build for the future, they're really looking to win now with Pops last few years. I think this trade let's them keep White and IV plus get an early lottery pick in the process.

I say pull this trigger and you're taking a shot at winning now and building to your future at the same time. Warriors are one injury away from being vulnerable and you never know if cousins impact could mess up their chemistry.

For Minnesota to agree to that, the Sacto pick might have to go to them.

Also, I'm not sure Boston would trade Kyrie and the Sacto pick for a Kawhi that won't commit to them.

[DAF86]

Getting Butler, Irving and a lottery pick out of a Kawhi trade would be too much of a pipe-dream, tbh.

Good point. My personal opinion is that they would probably take that (as it's likely the best offer they'll get for butler on a one year rental). Maybe throw in a second in 2020 (but don't give up anything for the 2021 double draft!!!).

And iirc there were some rumors that Kyrie and the sac pick was already the offer on the table. The spurs wanted more though. In this scenario though we could team up three all stars with Rudy and Danny plus get a lottery pick. I think it's a good call.

I think they could pull it off if they really wanted to. Tibs would love a young defensive talent like DJ especially on a rookie scale contract.

Do do you have any argument ?

I see, your previous post was not irony, ok then. my point.. if SA has 1% to bring Jimmy Butler and Kyrie Irving this summer I'm sure they send Murray to Minnesota or any part of the world.


I like Murray but Irving is a special talent, he is unique, clutch... championship level, rings... etc it seems that butler and irving want to play together, if irving still wants to play for pop... I want to see them in SA

At this point I'd take Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson for Kawhi, Patty Mills and Brandon Paul in a heartbeat. I have a feeling Kawhi is too injury prone and won't have the career we all thought he would. Kind of a Derrick Rose type.

I doubt our FO is thinking along these lines but, it's not an unreasonable trade. We might be able to pull that off if we'd pursue it. We could shore up the from line by signing Len or Oakafor.

I'm actually high on Oakafor. I think even without this move he's a great low risk player to pick up. Without this move he's a cheap big who can round out our rotation. With this move he becomes a great off the bench offensive minded presence playing alongside that defensive minded combo forward we just picked up.

He certainly couldn't be worse than Jeff or Joffery...

That's some dabom level comment, there's going to be some pretty good news in the next 3 or 4 days maybe. Well no shit, that could happen at any given time.

I agree. I think oak and Len have some upside to explore if they come on a fairly cheap deal. I'd be happy with either.
