Not playing tonight vs jazz. Line jumped from 3 to 6. Rumor is he”ll be sitting out till a trade is done. Where will he end up?

I'd love to get him in Laker land playing with Lebron... He's a good player, proven all star..

If you’re a laker fan, this is where he probably ends up (I think wolves are being patient waiting for LeBron to get frustrated with young guys and get magic to send one to Minnesota) but you don’t want this to happen. It’ll waste the LeBron years or be a wasted rental.

Butler is resting back to backs early to not get injured for possible trade and becaye he didn’t have a training camp. He’s still on the wolves

Gotta be Houston.

Butler

selfish team cancer loser

packerd_00 · 10-31-18, 03:50 PM

Only Team that has shown real interest is the Houston Rockets.

Miami? The team that was minutes and one end of bench player to make salaries work away from finalizing?

Philly?

Jimmy was tough in Chicago.. I remember.. That player ever comes back he'll contribute to any team he joins..

Couldnt agree more. Wolves need to trade him. Time to rebuild. Again.

That’s before he went Hollywood hanging around mark wahlberg

Honestly butler will be the 2nd best laker player - ingram/Kuzma soft guys -

An aging player taking a lot of falls, with nagging career injuries, who’s either going to be a rental or going to have to give him the max (in the nba with terrible cap structure) where you’re paying him into his mid 30s 40 mil a year. With the warriors a lock for this year, taking a rental doesn’t make a lot of sense, and the other alternative kills your future.

Now add that he’s quitting on his team, and causing a circus as a B+ player, hard pass unless you’re a team in a market that has trouble attracting free agents

Lakers have to make a move of some sort, otherwise it will be a wasted year for James. The idea of Butler being a rental in LA is laughable -that's precisely where he wants to be. He will take less than the max because he wants to win.

IBetYou · 10-31-18, 06:15 PM

I think the Lakers overvalue Ingram, and should part with him. I've disliked him since I saw him play his first SL game. Only good thing he's done in his career to date is have 1 or 2 good games against Durant -granted a good player to play well against...

ikid2groove415 · 10-31-18, 06:16 PM

Butler is Minnesota best player- I’m done with towns -

Chi_archie · 10-31-18, 06:19 PM

really admire how Jimmy overcame a TON of adversity and came into the league as an afterthought and worked hard to better his game. what an over achiever, got to root for him.

BUT man, the stories you heard about Jimmy here in Chicago were nuts, guy is a top 10 all time locker rooom/clubhouse cancer in all sports. in chicago terms its Milton Bradley+Brandon Marshall personality issues

guy is a certified nutcase and can't get along with anyone. He'll never last anywhere

NardVa · 10-31-18, 06:23 PM

I have no issues with Bulter demanding a trade. This has everything to do with Towns and Wiggins not stepping up and being better on defense and serious about winning a championship. When Butler doesn't play their defense is non-existent.

ikid2groove415 · 10-31-18, 06:26 PM

Lakers should keep Kuzma because he can shoot - get rid of Ingram for butler -
Jimmy is tough with great perimeter defense

Rental OR worse the alternative I laid out. Never claimed he was a rental for LA, saying that's 1 of 2 bad options.

Agree though, Ingram should go before Kuz. If they could part with ball instead, would be a win. Would probably have to add in KP to match salaries

Regardless, unless they get butler and one more guy this is a wasted year for bron. They aren't beating golden state. Could almost argue from an analytical standpoint not putting the pointless miles of a deep playoff run this season on his legs might help in a couple years when warriors break up

Lakers can add a guy like butler then add Klay Thompson in the offseason - 2 Good perimeter defenders 2 play with Lebron that can also score

Lakers never want to put their hand in their pocket,thats their problem,they just expect to get all of these studs for nothing.

Klay ain’t leaving Gstate. Why would he go to LA to chase rings? He will have more rings than Lebron after this season anyways.

Butler sitting tonight for rest. He will play vs Gst unless he gets dealt before then. He said he is sore and doesn’t want to get injured. Wolves owner doesn’t want him to get injured either.

Why Philly doesn’t offer Fultz, Saric or Covington and some picks for him is beyond me.

Him staying on at a reasonable price is not a bad option. Maybe you're right about the Warriors being a LOCK. Although injuries always a possibility for the frontrunner...

He’s from LA and his dad works for the Lakers - warriors is going lose either green or Klay - maybe both - teams can offer Klay the Max contract -

ikid2groove415 · 10-31-18, 06:50 PM

For the Lakers you have 2 give Lebron a winning team next year - he’s turning 35 next season and is on the decline - current laker roster is no good -

ikid2groove415 · 10-31-18, 06:51 PM

A team of butler/Klay/Lebron can challenge for a championship-

They wont trade any of their pieces inorder to get a stud player,they just keep waiting to grab them off free agency.

IBetYou · 10-31-18, 06:57 PM

You'd have to be a Warriors' fan to believe they're going to keep that core intact. Why do you think Cousins signed there at a discount? He knows there's a fair chance Durant or Thompson will leave for LA or elsewhere, and he will slot into the cap space.

They will let Draymond walk before Klay. Shooters age well. Draymond is valuable but with defense being abolished by the league, he isn’t a must have.
