Other than that he is getting worse as the season goes on, where is that guy from the first few weeks of the season?


He played great defense in the 4th and OT and had a huge block on DD. 20-4-7 but shot bad.

I think he's effected most by the lack of spacing with the starters. We should start Niko and see if that helps him. We need him shooting around 46-48% from the field.

I'm thinking that knee has been bothering him for longer than he let on.

Instead of salivating over draft picks we need to use our draft picks to get players that can help now.

If the Kings keep it up we should have 2 quality picks to bundle this summer.


Please..no bundling of draft picks to get a young kid. Either draft two young kids and let them be the 14th and 15th players without pressure to perform or use them to get proven vets.


I meant for a player already in the league that has proven something.

So, where's Butler at right now? This is probably my top 10 -

LeBron
Curry
Harden
Durant
Kawhi
Westbrook
Davis
Butler
Giannis

Normally it wouldn't happen like that, I think its unique to Rondo, Fred/FO felt he would be a continuing problem if just demoted being asked to come off the bench.

I would put him anywhere from 8-10

Side note, KD is the 2nd best player imo. Harden 3rd, then Curry. At least this season.

Id swap Jimmy and Davis on this list

No denying the level of talent the brow has but look at his teams record...

I think with players like him its just a matter of time and maturity before his numbers convert to team wins but for the moment overall he isnt the player Butler is.

Not this season or at this moment anyway...

It's all pretty close up in that top 5, didn't even know where to start. I have to say though, KD's having a better season than I expected.

Pretty impressive company.

Eh, not like the Bulls record is too flash at this point either. The Pels had some key injuries early on as well. At the end of the day, Davis is putting up 29 and 12, I think that gets the nod of Jimmy.

Sorry, I meant Westbrook at 4, not Curry. I would put Curry 5.

Raptors fans are one of the best. The way they take losses(albeit I only look when they lose to Chicago) kills me with laughter.

Literally almost everyone of them either calls Butler, or the Bulls their father :lol:
