Heat: Butler to the 2x defending champs

[Rogue]

How this team can sign every top free agent every-time I don't think I'll ever understand.

More power to them I guess,

clippers are based in LA which's the reason why imho. you always have the chance to get some fine es as long as you're playing in LA, heads like Sasha Vujacic would never expect to bang any bigname rich like Sharapova if not playing in LA tbh

Butler is a proven team cancer, as is Beasley, I wonder how Spo and Lebron will manage this..

How is he a proven team cancer? I have never heard anything other than teammates loving Butler, as well as the community.

I had a friend who used to work at Ocean Prime (restaurant in Dallas) and a lot of basketball players go there after games, especially Mavericks players. He would see Butler on a weekly basis, and he said that Butler, Stevenson, and Dirk were the three nicest, most down to earth players he ever dealt with during his time there.

I know how he acts at a restaurant may not be very telling, but it just goes in line with nothing but good things that I have heard from teammates talking about Butler.

Either way, this could be a real nice signing for them, as Butler can both generate his own offense, as well as spot-up shoot.

He will be very helpful for the stretches that Lebron goes out of the game, to make sure there is more scoring punch on the court. He should do real well being able to play against opposing teams second units.

On-court cancer, I meant..

Teams are generally worse with Butler on the court, and he needs a lot of touches when he's on the floor, tbh..he has complained about his role in several situations IIRC..

I can see that.

Although in this situation, its perfect for him. When Lebron goes out, their offense has issues because no one can really create any kind of offense. Butler can do that. So I think he would do quite well in that role.

I don't see him playing a ton of playoff minutes, but in terms of regular season, helping to give Lebron more rest in games? Butler should be a great asset to the team just for that alone. If Lebron can average around 2-3 minutes less a game here on out, that will take a lot of wear and tear off of him come playoff time.

Tuff juice will be knocking a clutch jumper after someone (SPurs, Clips, OKC) double teams James and leaves Caron for that open 20 footer or 3 pointer ...

doesnt change much Lebron was winning anyway it just might be Butler for 3 ...BANG! Instead of Ray or Shane ...

Freaking riles. The man is cold blooded.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Butler and Beas don't have enough PT or responsibility to be cancerous...just added bonuses and we all know one or both of them will have a playoff moment this year.

Knowing Caron, they would need a three and he would take an unnecessary step in and chuck up a long two instead.... he did that constantly at least with the Clippers and it was infuriating....

Lol he does love those long 2s... but to be fair, he's pretty good at hitting them. But yeah when he was in Dallas, that was probably the only thing about him that bugged me, was his love affair with those long 2s.

I fondly remember getting annoyed with Butler's long twos while he was with the Lakers

But I like the guy despite what others say. Unfortunate that he had to be a spectator to the Mavs winning the 2010/11 le.

this. Liked him on the Lakers.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Caron, he's a true professional and a legitimately tough player, but that long-two habit really used to piss me off

Why? He never made 'em. Wasn't any sweat off your brow.

Hey got next time don't blow your load to early. Your boyfriend might like that but it's not welcome here.

[rascal]

He no longer is a top starter but a solid addition to the bench. Good signing.

You gonna coattail them this season now that your Lakers are down, son? Good luck in the draft, tbh

I'd rather have Granger than Butler tbh, even though Butler has already played with Wade. I've seen Butler live a few times recently and he doesn't seem to have anything left.

Good call, my ..
