the bulls are a hole
lowball taj
no lowball jim
got pau on the cheap
but have no problems paying gangbanger 40m for t he last 2 years to sit on bench....fail
Might be the bulls' most reliable scorer tbh. Gangbanger will be injured for the most part, lets be honest, we know it will come. Pau, although is clearly rejuvenated, looks slow. And the rest of the bulls offense is crap.
Discuss.

There D is still solid though. Jimmy Butler is fool's gold I don't see a higher ceiling for him than the prime Caron Butler tbh. dude will get overpaid but probably not in Chicago.
Whats your opinion bout butler u fkn wanker
wasnt he t outed to be top5 sf defender? i dont know about his defense if its consistent enough to be paid like a franchise player
but with the cba kicking in, even 2nd or 3rd players can be paid superstar money....
Bout his offense??? He looked real efficient last night but then again its the wolves
What's crazy about Jimmy Butler is I played against this dude in high school. He played for Tomball High and we played him in a tourney my Junior year, and he literally wasn't even that good. At least not when we played him. He wasn't even their best player and I think he only had like 10 against us or something like that. When he got drafted I couldn't believe who he was tbh.
But he's a solid young player. But if you're leaning on him to be your #1 or #2 scorer, you're probably not a real contender, which the Bulls are not tbh.
He played 1 game against a bottom 3 team in the West..wait and see..
I'm on wait and see mode with him, as HH said. He's definitely interesting enough to me where I won't write him off. He seems to work really, really hard. But if he can continue to improve his handle and shooting, he has some very nice tools.
I said last week, he's Kawai Leonard in the Eastern Conference
Kawhi Leonard is an elite Finals performer, 2 great Finals series' in a row, tbh..the stage isn't too big for him..
Jimmy Butler has been a complete non-factor in playoff basketball..he had a great opportunity to step up last year against the Wizards when his team desperately needed offense, and he couldn't do it..
As of right now, he's just a stat-padder against terrible teams like the Wolves..
No... Butler is a playoff choker and overall mediocre player. Kawhi is a Finals MVP, and one can only imagine the type of stats he'd be putting up in the weak East - or really, on any team that doesn't include that salty got Enrique who won't pass the ball to him.
Must be nice as the 5th Option on a team with 3 Hall of Famers. I already posted Butler had similar numbers to Leonard in his last Playoff series against James.
Do you think Leonard can manage to make a Field Goal in his next game or do the Spurs need to play him more than 24 minutes?
Last year's Spurs didn't really have an order of options, tbh..they were literally, statistically better when Tony Parker was on the bench, for example..
Manu was the closest thing to a #1, but Leonard did most of his damage without Ginobil on the floor..
It's pretty embarrassing that Butler couldn't do anything against the Wizards IMO..that Bulls team desperately needed somebody to step up..I actually had high hopes for him in that series, too..
One-game sample sizes... by that logic, since Rose put up a big goose egg against the tanking Wolves, the Bulls won't win another game all year.
Jimmy Butler vs. Danny Green is a better comparison, tbh..but again, Danny is arguably the greatest shooter in NBA playoff history, while Butler is a proven playoff choker..
Come on, he played 24 minutes and failed to make a Field Goal. Speaking of small sample sizes: NBA Finals last year
Butler & Leonard are both 2nd Team All Defense. I watched Leonard at SDSU, he has always been a role player.
I think he has the tools to be much more than the blue collar, "hustle" guy that he is now (Thibs loves those guys)... unfortunately, he's a dumb player, and so those tools will probably go to waste.
He's better than JR Smith though, IMO, so there's that...
He played well in two NBA Finals that went 7 and 5 games respectively. 12 games > 1.
Well, if you're going to put them on the same level because they're both on 2nd team all-D, I'm going to put Kawhi on the same level as Michael Jordan because they have both been Finals MVPs, tbh..
Just wake me up when Leonard manages a Field Goal in the 2014-15 season
Whats this that jimmy has played well against bron in the playoffs??? Is it real or myth???
