How do you all feel about the potential jimmy butler news?

Personally I like Whiteside( He CAN dominate) but he plays too lazy.

Saw dragic being mentioned in a trade scenario by Adrian wojarnowski(the nbas Adam Schefter) recently.

Hope we can close the deal here but I hope The price is not too steep. One thing is for sure we need to unload some of these bad contracts( Tyler Johnson, dion waiters, the other Johnson)

Trade everyone not named Jason Richardson or Dwayne Wade.

No. 1 rule in the NBA - get the best player, figure everything else out after that.

Dragic would hurt but understandable since he is getting to the tail end of his prime. Whiteside can go kick rocks in Sacramento.
 
I’m just trusting and believing in Riley’s vision — gotta let the chips fall where they may.

Agree about dragic, he’s getting older but still balling though. Whiteside if he can just get past playing lazy he would be dominant

Whiteside is buttcheeks for the current NBA.

Need Jimmy as a talent and a bridge to build the next super team. Everyone except J-Rich should be available.
 
Why would anyone trade for Whiteside? Let alone the team that just supermaxed KAT.

It's complicated for Minnesota.

Trade options are limited because:
1. Tough to match contracts with those values that make sense for 2 parties (Whiteside might be the best they can get)
2. Butler has made it clear he only wants to go somewhere he wants to sign longterm
 
Only do it if they can take Whiteside and/or Tyler's contracts. They buried the franchise giving those guys big money. I like Jimmy Butler but he's not taking the Heat over the top right now.

TBH, I'm of the opinion that they just ride out the current roster until some of these contracts come off the books and they have a bit of flexibility long term. Right now, they're a middle of the road Eastern conference team. There's nothing they can do short term that's going to put them anywhere near good enough to beat the Warriors, Rockets or even the Celtics. They've got some interesting pieces and play entertaining basketball even if they're only a one and done playoff team.
 
I’ve got the inside scoop up here in the twin cities. What will the pups do? Probably something stupid. Stay tooned! Wish they’d trade Wiggins. He sucks

Ugh.. I still can't believe Riley did such a rookie move signing a bunch of journey men to long term deals that make them hard to trade. Find a way to get rid of James Johnson, Tyler Johnson, and Waiters. I would say Whiteside but no one is dumb enough to trade for him one would think.

Honestly, the only player worth keeping is Wade and Dragic. So many people overrate Josh Richardson. He just a solid 2 way player, replaceable IMO. We should flip him for a 1st round pick Same with Winslow.
 
The Godfather has one last set of monster moves in his ****nal.

If he lands Butler then that means Kyrie could end up here next year too....and all of a sudden DWade delays that retirement by a year.

I'd realllllly hate to lose the Dragon. Would also hate to lose Winslow based off how he played in the Playoffs last year but there are eventual salary issues at play with him. Whiteside can beat it like yesterday.
