[red1]

this legit has me ecstatic. now no matter what the clippers do they can't put a comparable team together to entice kawhi. butler was the final piece as there's no way klay ends up on the clippers.


I love it :roll:

[RealSkipBayless]

First it was Kawhi and KD... then Kawhi and Butler.. media trying to hard to spin narratives.

HE'S GOING TO THE LAKERS GET OVER IT. THE RAPS OR CLIPS NARRATIVE WAS FAKE. LOL CLIPPERS SUCK

LAKERS ALWAYS WIN BABY!!! AHAHAHA!

lakers barely have 5 players on the roster plus they still have the stench of last year's mess - I think masai can pitch against that pretty well even though it's still "home" for kawhi.


thank you for scooping jimmy riley - a true legend :rockon: :pimp:

So much for Jimmy wanting to compete for championships.

[Embers]

So much for Jimmy wanting to compete for championships.

The only title he wants to win is MVP. Will get 20 shots a game now so has a chance

[Jay-B]

Jimmy is weird why would he go there, who did Philly get in the trade

[FireDavidKahn]

Josh Richardson.

[LoneyROY7]

Fire Daryl Morey.

[RRR3]

I’ll take it. I loved J-Rich and will miss him, but Jimmy is an obvious upgrade. Still it probably caps us out as a second round team, so not overjoyed. On the other hand we kept Winslow and most importantly Bam so this didn’t gut the future.

Philly fans, you will love J-Rich. Dude is an elite, versatile defender who has grown a lot offensively and will help with spacing.

I love it :roll:

Yup. It's just the Lakers and Raptors now. :applause:

[DMAVS41]

So is it Richardson to Philly, Dragic to Dallas, and Butler to Miami?

Is that it?

[Meticode]

If the Lakers don't get Leonard, who is left on the market to spend $32 million on?

[highwhey]

stfu it's not a done deal, don't jinx it.

[RRR3]

Holy shit we got rid of Dragic!!!!


:dancin :hammertime:

:djparty

[BallsOut]

If the Lakers don't get Leonard, who is left on the market to spend $32 million on?

Lakers can still sign Cousins, Rondo, Thomas, Clarkson, Smith, Shumpert and Anthony.

Lakers
PG: Rajon Rondo | Isaiah Thomas
SG: Kyle Kuzma | Jordan Clarkson
SF: LeBron James | JR Smith
PF: Anthony Davis | Iman Shumpert
C: DeMarcus Cousins | Carmelo Anthony

Championship contenders with multiple playmakers.

[NBAGOAT]

something like that, how much cap space do you guys have roughly now?

[Kingwillball]

That is the problem with him taking sweet time well is drying up for lakers for anybody of significance and it

STFU with that shit..vomit worthy

beverly and danny. It's looking more likely now since dallas was rumored for both and dragic takes that off the table

[BallsOut]

You shut the **** up, bitch ass LeBron nut sucker. Get a dam team to root for and stick to it loser.

If Kawhi resigns Danny will too.

[RRR3]

BallsOut would easily be the worst GM of all time.


Unless he’s trolling which he probably is.

[BallsOut]

If Kawhi resigns Danny will too.

No he won't. Raptors aren't spending 30 mill on Green when they have Powell and OG playing his position.

[NBAGOAT]

If Kawhi resigns Danny will too.

true but 3yrs 45 might be too much for them(it shouldnt based on the contracts we've seen so far)

[Kingwillball]

Your a fricken Moron with your lineup proposals.. IT , jr Smith Melo, rondo, cousins... no no no and no

[BallsOut]

Davis/Cousins/Rondo eliminated the Blazers in the playoffs.

IT/Cousins have chemistry from Kentucky days.

Melo+Davis+LeBron won Olympic gold medals together.

You're the moron.

Imagine thinking any of these things are relevant but cousins also didn

[nashwade]

Don't understand Butler's move.. he should go to a contender

[r0drig0lac]

Don't understand Butler's move.. he should go to a contender
On The Jump, Woj just said Jimmy preferred to have a team built around him than to be the third option.


the league needs more guys with Butler's mentality, and fewer guys with Durant's mentality.

[fourkicks44]

Don't understand Butler's move.. he should go to a contender

He just left a contender. If he wanted a ring he would have stayed in Philly.

I like whats going on. Sixers have consolidated the future with Harris and Richardson. This team is much younger now. Locking Jimmy in on 5 years max money was ALWAYS risky and I knew this from day one when the Sixers aquired him.

[RealSkipBayless]

Sixers are MUCH better off. Absolute heist. They get a solid replacement AND signed Horford with cap space left over...

Philly running the East for YEARS to come.

[Hawker]

Looks like we aren't getting Dragic after all.

Man the mavs shat the bed.

EDIT: Looks like this isn't a done deal since the mavs want Derrick Jones and not just Kelly Olynyk.

[fourkicks44]

This was the ONLY reason he was ever going to leave and it was always obvious.

I actually thought he was gonna go with Brooklyn if the whole Kyrie/ Durant thing fell through. But they couldn't give him that massive deal. The sign and trade was the only way he got everything he wanted with the max 5 years and all.

I like your thinking, Skip. You are fast becoming the most improved poster.

You want membership to the Sixers fam you get my endorsement :cheers:

[miggyme1]

Im disappointed in jimmy butler. Dude is in the back half of his prime and he goes to miami for two things and two things only. Money and the lifestyle. The sixers

[DMAVS41]

So the Mavs pulled out...anyone know the new terms?

Read a few posts above. This deal is dead atm. Mavs wanted Olynyk and Jones not Dragic. But that would put the Heat over the hard cap. How does this stuff happen? Some executives making big paychecks looking like amateurs right now. :facepalm

Deal is not dead. Miami is restructuring with DJones.

It's dead as is.


They are going to have to add more than than Jones and Olynyk. They are still over the hard cap with Dragic on the books.

The og deal was dragic and ko. Now dallas wants Jones. Lets see what happens but Ive heard its as good as done from multiple sauces.

Post the sources. If the numbers don't work. It can't be put through no matter how down both teams are with it.

Wiki already has Butler in the Heat roster

I cant post tweets here. I guess go read herald.com

[GOBB]

I like Josh Richardson. Decent 3 and D guy.

Sixers lack a bucket creator and backup PG. The latter seems possible to add. Not sure who as of this moment. Sixers have a ridiculously tall lineup.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I haven't paid close attention to the small details of this decision but why would Jimmy not stay with the 76ers, a championship contender and instead, go to a team that would make the 7th or 8th seed at best? Was it money and weather over winning??

I think Butler would rather make big money, be the best player, and have a nightlife destination over being 2nd-3rd option and winning.

[305Baller]

Maybe he wants his own team instead of shitting in his pants and crying while being wheeled off, crying like a baby.

HahahahahahahH

[Hawker]

Glad this trade fell through if it was the mavs getting kelly and derrick jones.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

I'd have rather seen Butler in LA. Clippers or Lakers.

No denying he's a great fit in Miami though. Dude is the quintessential Riles player.

[Mean Joe Bean]

Butler deal is finalized. 4 team deal.

Heat get: Jimmy Butler
76ers get: Josh Richardson
Blazers get: Whiteside
Clippers get: Meyers Leonard, Mo Harkless, protected Heat 2023 first rounder

HAHAHAHHHAAAAAAAAAA


:lol :lol :lol

Lakers fans.... so smart. HAHAHAHAHAHA

[PJR]

The f2023 rounder that the Heat traded to the Clippers is lottery protected until 2026. Beautiful.

Jimmy Buckets :applause: :applause:

[305Baller]

Butler is irrelevant anyways, it's Herro ball time in Miami


hahahahahah

[GimmeThat]

classic bumping the free throw while maintaining same percentage on three transition.

just where exactly does Reggie Miller rank all time is once again up for debate

Much smarter than you. The Olynyk Jones offer killed the deal. The numbers didn't match but you kept insisting your "sources" said it was as good as done. It was dead as is. It had to be completely restructured to work with Whiteside. Why are you laughing hysterically when you were dead wrong. :wtf:

[305Baller]

hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahha

[plowking]

Never been a fan of Jimmy. Guess I'll learn to like him same way I did Bosh and Bron.
