Is Jimmy officially playing tonight?

Last I heard all the physicals hadn't been completed by all the players in the trade.
Madvillain been as high as Kathmandu

Hadn't considered that. A lot of players moving in the deal and I guess all of them have to check out before any of them can play (I guess the deal could potentially be rescinded?).

Excited to see Jimmy play but it's going to be awkward until these guys play with each other a while. Draymond is probably going to turn it over 3 times trying to force a pass. Maybe Kerr simplifies the offense temporarily to get everyone comfortable.

Go Mids Dubs!

As long as Wiggins passes physical the trade will be accepted. The only assets cared about otherwise were the picks. The rest was salary matching ballast.

Good game for Butler to make his debut as the Bulls stink big time. The road to the playoffs begin now and Warriors need to win as many winnable games as possible. Butler should be well rested since he's been suspended which is good for an old 35 year old man

OT: speaking of debut. I really like AD is Dallas. He did exactly what I thought he would there.

Now if Butler can do anything close to that.

Yeah Dallas could go on a tear now. I’m like the only guy on the internets who likes that trade for Dallas.

I like it for Dallas, BUT I do agree with everyone that the Mavericks should have and could have gotten more in return.

What's the lineup guess?

I'd hope Steph, Buddy, Jimmy, Dray, Loon

Looks like Post over Loon. Rough defensively but I guess more spacing if they take advantage of it. Still don't get why we don't just play our best center :banghead:

I like Post playing especially against weaker teams. Need to get him as many reps as possible for the playoff push.

Any predictions for how Butler's first game will go?
