Totally fair, everyone else has been so reliable.
Break up our beloved play in team??!!! Blasphemous
I’d do the Jimmy trade just to get off Draymond’s contract before the inevitable fuckup and suspension. And before GP2’s inevitable injury. That’s $33M right there. Throw in a couple of out of rotation players into the mix and we’re cooking…kinda
This just feels like a nice way of saying “they want no part of old-ass Jimmy Butler, no matter how dire things look”
Jimmy Butler may not be the guy but you know who aren’t the guys? At least 10+ guys on this roster
Why break up a team that is 2-9 with a net -99 in their last 11?
They lost by 50..
I mean – KD isn’t reliable either, but I’d break up the team and take him back in a heartbeat.
Here’s the thing. You either go all in and try for one last dance or you start over completely. But either way, I don’t see a future star on this team among our young guys. They are good, but they really haven’t taken it to the level they need to be at consistently for this team to have a shot.
Butler’s good but he’s 35 years old and salary is too high to match without losing too much depth.
If his salary were like $28-30 million, Warriors would traded for him.
That and it doesn’t make sense to give up Wiggins for Butler. Butler’s better yes, but not THAT much better. And Wiggins is a better 3-pt shooter.
Jimmy hasn’t been that dude for two seasons. He can still turn it on every now and then. But the price tag just ain’t worth it.
In case you aren’t paying attention.
Jimmy butler suited up to play. No injury report. Then left the game early. Reason: illness
😆 betters are pissed. He’s load managing on 0’s
Butler’s games played since 17-18 season when he was with the T-Wolves,
69, 55, 58, 52, 57, 64, 60, and currently 19 this season.
I want a star but someone who actually takes the regular season seriously
They can’t backfill for the players they would lose so if they make this deal for JB, they are filling out the rest of the roster with 10 days. That would look even worse if JB goes down with an injury.
To get Butler you would have to give Wiggins Kuminga and maybe moody and some one else to make up the 48 million. That leaves Jimmy to be the only wing player left on the team unless you wanna count Kyle Anderson as a wing (assuming he’s not traded)
If trade deadline ran until the playoffs if trade drop lay off Jimmy in a heart beat that dude with Steph would be a ring, that being said we have to make the playoffs for that to happen and trading for Jimmy who isn’t himmy until playoffs im not sure we would make it
JUST MAKE A GAMBLE THIS TEAM AINT GONNA WIN A CHIP ANYWAYS ALL IN ON RED
Probably the team trying to lower the trade value of butler?
We already have Wiggins and Kuminga. Jimmy Beans coming off the bench?
No shit Sherlock
I get it, but the unit they have right now is complete and utter dog shit
They need something or an infusion of youth who have experience
Jimmy doesn’t have to be the piece tbh, but they need to invest in Steph’s last years and build around his skillset and maximize it
Sooo go for someone else then. Why are we talking about somebody we don’t want?
Players on the back side of their careers who are not generational talents suck up too much cap space to sign. Jimmy is exactly that kind of player. Would we pay up for a Durant or a Lebron? Yes. But not for a Butler. He’s a really good player. But not one of the greatest and you don’t gut your entire roster for a “very good” player. By next year, he’ll be just a good player and the year after that, an ok player — all at that price tag.
That’s fair, but it’s hard to give Dunleavy the benefit of the doubt here. He’s been risk adverse his entire stint as GM.
There is basically no way this team gets back to being a contender without taking some sort of gamble.
My guess is he thinks it’s better for his career to have the team he was given fail then to risk on a trade that’s later looked as “bad”. He doesn’t want to be the GM that traded away a future star or aquires a player that gets plagued with injuries.
If you remember this team became dominant by trading for the often injured Andrew Bogut and giving away fan favorite Monte Ellis. We took a big risk and inked often injured Steph Curry to a big contract.
literally everyone knows jimmy is old and injury prone. FO would be dumb as fuck to gut the roster for him
So bron next?
How much of an insider/ source is Monte?
I say wait for the summer time let the team jell a bit . Figure out who’s going to stay and who’s going to go.
and figure out how to get Giannis
If we are leaning into a win now team, then we need to keep Wiggins with how well he has been playing. I believe we can’t get Butler without giving up Wiggins due to salary purposes.
Bla Bla Bla. Curry’s almost 37. If you don’t want to give him a competitive team just trade him and get valuable pieces for the future you business men smh 🤦
