Wouldn't trade for him. He's a top 15 player but he's injury prone and a cancer. Sound familiar?
his got nothing to offer besides chasing that last big contract...

Myth has been busted. Superstars dont want to play with Lebron.
When has Lebron ever recruited another star? He kinda joined Wade's team and Bosh joined up. Cavs traded for Love and ended up keeping him which is the biggest win of Lebron's career. Irving left. He never got anyone to stick around in his first stay in Cleveland.
yeah, that's the only reason i wouldn't want him.
Answers his own question all within the same post ^
That's unfortunate since I'm sure Minnesota was dying to land Bertans and Forbes.
All three teams can't sign him, so they have to trade for him if they want him.
It's crazy too that both were never projected to be anywhere near what they are today. All that hard work still comes with that at ude (except to Butler's credit he never quit, I guess?)...damn shame.
Yeah at this point I say forget Butler and wait for the draft.
Even one year of butler worth murray and walker while getting rid of gasol, spurs would be crazy not to go for it
I'm not sure. I would rather wait 2-3 years when the Dubs fall apart and CP3 is really old to see what happens. I think there's something to be said for Butler potentially being toxic and not a good 3 point shooter. Next draft is absolutely loaded at the SF position as well so we probably only need to be in the 16-18 range to get a new starter.
And I really don't get why I'm the only one on this forum (in particular, but also in general) who still likes Gasol for 20-24 minutes a game.
They could certainly sign him next summer without giving up anything. It was commented on earlier in the thread that his trade team choices were strange, since they could all just wait and sign him.
Murray and Walker are potential star for a year rental. And Minnesota would be crazy to trade Butler to the West unless it’s for a star and someone who could help them now. I see Portland could try with McCollum. But I think he goes to Nets to inspite him. That could be a superteam destination though with Kyrie and Kawhitter next year... hmm
youre dumb as
Yea the Miami team was the best evidence of players wanting to play with him because they all chose Miami as a plan to play together. DWade happens to be an all time great who had his Batman seasons and is one of Lebron's best friends to that doesn't necessarily count. He does have a lot of superstar per se friends but other than that I don't think players want to play with him. Lebron is as selfish as they come. Will not adapt to anyone else's game or coaching style unless it's olympic team. I think he has the ability to and may show it more in LA now that his career is nearing the end.
Shams Charania: "Jimmy Butler would prefer trade by end of the week and there's potential for his list (of teams he'd like to go to) to be expanded even more. The list I heard was 5-6 teams"

concede the le to the dubs this season, like everyone else, and wait to sign him as a FA or make a trade knowing then where the pick is as well as what you really have from murray, white and walker.
Tomorrow we're going to hear a report about expanding his list to 28 teams: "Anywhere but here...or San Antonio".
that's a good one
Demar DeRozan, LaMarcus Aldridge and Pau Gasol, get it done.
Teague+Butler+Patton for Murray+Walker+Gasol
In general or in the context of this team?
He's fine for the former. Sure, he's not suited to playing against the majority of the elite, but that's inherently a small group.
He's not fine for the latter. The way this team is now constructed, a 3 and D wing should have his rotation spot, with Aldridge and Gay moving up a position.
The most inexplicable part of the trade was Green instead of Gasol (Richardson could have also been sent to Spurs for salary purposes).
