Knicks decline to match Spurs' offer to Butler

[timvp]

When in the did I ever hype Francisco Elson?

Check your sig.

was just told by a reliable source


That his rebounding numbers were similar to Rasho at 3.3 a game.

Check minutes played.

[Kori Ellis]

Uh yeah he is. At 20 he averaged 10 boards per 40 minutes. That's pretty impressive and the highest rebounding rate for any free agent other than Reggie Evans.

I'm glad you are not hyping him like you did the last three centers (Rasho, Nazr, Francisco)

Butler's rebounding rate is about the between Rasho and Nazr. You don't think either one of them are good rebounders, so you can't tout Butler as being a good rebounder.

Just say that he's young and has a lot of potential.

[T Park]

Now

Let Elson get matched.

Sign Ian.


Take the rest of the MLE and sign up a Ariza or whoever else, call it a summer, make room for trophy number 4

[boutons_]

ok, I trust you guys that this guy is ok.

I hope Pop's Director of whatever tells this guy to come to camp with 15% body fat, max.

[Kori Ellis]

So everyone is cool with Butler as a starter? Or just relieved to have anyone sign with the Spurs at this point?

[MoSpur]

Great news. I am glad NY decided not to match. We actually have someone under 21.

[T Park]

Check your sig.

All it says is


"The next Spurs center?"


lmao

how is that HYPING someone?


BTW Elson looks like he can push your Evans guy around not too bad in that pic too.



We will see if he is a good rebounder, like Kori said, his numbers are between Rasho and Nazr, and they weren't good.

The Only Q for me is:

Why we sign a 21 years old Center for 7 millions/3 years and not sign Ian Mahinmi for 2,5 millions and 19 years

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Y'all better be right about this guy. I don't know why but I keep having doubts.

[ChumpDumper]

ok, I trust you guys that this guy is ok.

I hope Pop's Director of whatever tells this guy to come to camp with 15% body fat, max.

Just send him to workout with JR Smith's father.

[Kori Ellis]

I'm guessing because they don't think Ian is ready for the NBA.

Rasho and Nazr had more minutes a game than Butler, and he still averaged around the same, or a little less, so I would say he is a better rebounder

Butler= 5.3 points, 3.5 boards, half a block, 54% fg, 75% free throw, 13 minutes a game

[ducks]

ian gets a 3-4 year deal because he is a first rounder

[phxspurfan]

Welcome, enormous manchild. Welcome.

haha

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i thought people would have liked a Butler/Elson combo at the 5. It would be a good mix

[ducks]

the offer was made to butler before the spurs saw ian in summer games also

[Mr. Body]

We can say he's an average to above average rebounder at this point. But some of rebounding is a skill you can learn.

We have to see if Duncan winds up taking rebounds away from him or, more likely, team % rebounds go up in general.

[Kori Ellis]

I know. I did rebounders per 40 min. Butler is much less than Nazr. He's above Rasho's stats for this past season (but not his career stats or anything).

I said last year that Nazr wasn't a good defensive rebounder. The second half of the year he stopped getting d-boards. But overall, Nazr is and has always been one of the better rebounders in the league.

As far as centers in the league, Butler is an above average rebounder. For 20 year old centers, he was damn good last year.

I think it's disgraceful that CIA Pop uses those pictures of Isaiah and Magic in the showers to make him do whatever he wants on trades.

And he must be selling copies of the pics cheap to every GM in the League.

[mardigan]

Rasho, 19 min a game, 4 rebounds a game, Nazr, 19 min a game, 5 boards, butler isnt between that he is better than that

Gross picture but hilarious.

[ObiwanGinobili]

woooot!













(has it been said that this offseason sucks?)

I think every NBA GM has the same exact pictures of Isiah

Umm.. yes he is between them. Figure out the stats per 40 or per min or whatever you want to do. Nazr is much better than Jackie Butler. Rasho is worse.
