^^^^this is the preferred alternate path^^^^

 

 

 

Sure it is. I think Forman and Paxson getting fired is a pipe dream though.

First trade of the day!!

Interesting. I wonder if there is protection on that pick, Noel has been pretty damn good this year.

Sounds like Dallas pick is protected 1-18. WTF is Philly doing?

Weir deal by Philly. Is Justin Anderson any good? Note, just looked up Anderson...I'm not overly familiar with him but a pretty solid PER for a young player. Philly must like his upside? Or maybe they just don't want to pay Noel what it will take as a restricted free agent.

That is just horrendous if that is the case (unless the protections drop dramatically down the line and they are guaranteed a first rounder at some point).

Sure it is. I think Forman and Paxson getting fired is a pipe dream though.

 

and i think Forman and Paxson fixing things is just as big of a pipe dream

Mavs got Noel for free. Awful by Philly

Always hype about us talking trades but it rarely happens

Bogut getting bought out. Be a nice race between Cleveland and Boston to sign him.

Sounds like Boston is all in for Butler or George. Picks and assets available. It's now on the Bulls

I don't know what Indy's position is, but I see zero chance of Jimmy in green after today.

But they seem to be putting out there that they will only give up the BRO pick for George. If thats the case they are not in for Butler.

Not according to Sam Amick and Ramona Shelbourne. Brooklyn pick is in.

Who would Boston prefer to acquire if they had their choice of Butler or George? I don't really know who'd fit their team better.

They have been long rumored to like Butler so it makes me believe this George stuff came out to gain some leverage in Bulls talks. Ainge and Bird are buddies and Bird always said that George was off the table until now.

Bulls aren't gonna do s***. It'll be the same press conference year in and year out.

Most likely.

 

Sometimes its fun to imagine winning the lottery.

George. He's a much better 3-point shooter.

Butler is a superior player to George and under a superior contract. It would and should take more to get Jimmy Butler then it would to get Paul George.

I think it would be George just based on the fact that Thomas needs the ball in his hands and George is a much better three point shooter than Butler.

Butler is one of the ultimate defenders in basketball. He will take that team to another level on the D end of the floor.

George. He's a much better 3-point shooter.

Get this garbage out of here. Butler is the superior player, period. Not even a discussion. Add in the fact that Jimmy is under contract for longer and on a freaking value deal and it weighs even further to why Boston would prefer Butler.

 

Butler has a 25 PER this year (coming off a season just above 20) while George is at 18. That is a huge difference. Not even close and Butlers last couple years PER's have been better then George's. It isn't like he's an outlier. Butler also has been healthier in his career. I like Paul George and would want him on my team but right now, Jimmy Butler >>> Paul George...factor in contract and the gap widens even more.

George. He's a much better 3-point shooter.

 

More risk with George. Shorter contract, and he's a risk to flee to LA. Even if you prefer PG as a player, the two years of difference and the uncertainty should make the Celtics prefer Butler.

What time is the deadline?
