Him being a non-shooter from 3 will shrink the floor for Randle and muffle Randle's playmaking skills (Randle's best attribute).

Terrible fit imo.

It was only half a season ago our whole team were horrendous 3pt shooters...

Herro went from elite to unplayable rather fast.

We are getting Goran Dragic folks.

I don't get how offensive players don't become amazing practicing with an elite defender....I could picture Julius and butler just being super competitive

RJ was 19, Randle 25 entering the offseason.

Butler is 31 heading into this offseason.

He is who he is, I don't see him changing his game and turning into a deadeye volume 3-point shooter.

Butler didn’t look competitive tonight. He looked like he wanted to be somewhere else

Why reduce RJ’s role to give Jimmy one more go with Thibs? Boring.
