Says the Rockets' fan with his eyes on Splitter.
I'd rather have Ian injured than Butler healthy.
Just because there's two rookies on the roster now, it doesn't mean there needs to be two-times the amount of donuts.
Not an unreasonable thing to bring up, but he wouldn't help. He can't make an NBA roster, let alone ours, which he had a great chance to become a part of. After seeing him looking great playing for the Knicks at the end of the year before we signed him, I thought he might be a solid bench player. However, it seems like he either wasn't smart enough to understand our system, or he didn't work hard enough. Either way, it's unlikely that he'll ever get a second chance.
Okay, it WAS an unreasonable supposition then!
Took his ? mil and went home, huh?
That's what I came into the thread to post. Butler effectively retired after getting his millions. I guess you can't really blame him if he's happy with what he's got. Sucked for the Spurs but that's the chance you take when you buy low on a guy with questionable character.
Retired? At such a young age? What a lazy bum. Hope he invests his $$$ well.
I always thought he was a pretty good kid with a very questionable work-ethic. Did he have some off the court issues, or were you just referring to the work-ethic?
It's a shame, the kid could've made a of a lot more money and had a nice long career in the league, with his size and touch/hands alone, but I guess his hunger was left at the dinner table.
When asked to talk about his post game, Butler responded that he really isn't very good at interviews.
He explained that he didn't need to work on pick-and-roll, because "Shorty always rolls em for me".
He thought "second-chance points" came from trying to clean up your credit score.
He believed that "Transition D" was the name of Jack Black's band.
He refused to go shoot H-O-R-S-E with Manu because he was worried about random testing.
Not exactly the highest basketball IQ in the league. Roughly like trying to communicate with Mengke Bateer - without a translator. The work ethic thing was just a bonus.![]()
In boxing, he's what's referred to as a "ham n' egger", or to be more politically correct, a "ham n' eggro".
