Not like he was good at the end of the boston miami series, or the Den series and not even mentioning the fact he was injured all of last playoffs

Reaves at 13m>Jimmy at 50M

Take the purple and gold glasses off. They don't suit you.


He's talking value, which you would agree with because Rui+Vincent+Eubanks is a negative package, for this deal to be fair the value contract of Reaves is above that of Butler at $50m.

I don't think anyone suggests that Reaves is better than Butler without salary consideration.

No arguments about value. Agreed. But he them went into the better player and that's clearly Jimmy.

Well the value is clearly Reaves

I think Jimmy is still better than Reaves, but I am unsure how big that gap is anymore

He has not been impressive this season. Hes been efficient, but very low volume and defensive metrics fallen off hard

I guess he hasnt been putting in the effort I guess, but that is important, especially to a team like us

This isnt even in regards to injuries or that hes harder to fit in on more teams due to his poor 3 pt spacing

I hope Miami doesnt get fleeced here and just gifts Jimmy to the suns, but I feel like theyll end up with a meh 1st or two and a couple decent guys. Idk what that does for them though. They arent good enough to compete, stop wasting time and treadmilling

They need to buid around Herro, Jaime, Ware and get good draft picks

Pass from a Jazz perspective. Would want more coming back for Kessler. Don’t really want to eat Vandos four year contract either.
