How long until Butler is fighting with Paul/Melo, amongst others? I would say mid-season.

I don't think so. Too many veterans and that team already have defined roles. Jimmy Butler will be the no.2 scoring option and there's really no way around that. His past teams, he feels that he was the man.

you throwing away a potential top 5 pick for the right to max out 30 year old jimmy butler?
i get it, he's a really good player right now but he doesn't fit our timeline at all. And he has a history of being an awful teammate to young players.
they're not gonna actually take that offer mpharris. c'mon.

Jimmy said it wasn’t anything personal. He’s challenging Wiggins, Wiggins ignoring him would’ve made him look soft. Andrew has to respect it or he wouldn’t have dapped him up. Wiggins needs this because he should be better.
The only thing missing was a WWE logo in the top corner for this fake outrage.
Rachel Nichols said she received a call from Jimmy Butler last night saying he was ready to talk. Hours later he acts up in practice knowing he was going to be asked about it longer on in the day during the interview.
#7 didn't take it this far.

Unless Jimmy agrees to sign an extension giving up PJ would be bad. He is the perfect 3 n D player for their system. Jimmy doesn't do the same things as PJ so it's not a direct upgrade. Their offense would probably get worse if they directly replaced PJ with Jimmy.

PJ's D at forward & as a smallball 5 is huge for them next to Capela. I disagree about their offense getting worse with Jimmy, but I'm with you completely on them providing such disparate impacts defensively...that's why I get Morey being insistent on being able to pair both Jimmy & PJ with Capela and their 2 all-NBA PGs.
Their bench would probably need some tweaking after any Jimmy-trade that they could possibly pull off without including PJ, but between the deadline and post-deadline cuts, they should be able to bolster their depth for the stretch run...at least if having Jimmy & 6MOTY-Melo to help carry the scoring load, was enough to keep CP3 fresh enough to not get hurt in the playoffs.

True and Thib's respect aura is steadily declining. If its true that his old mentor cursed him out and hung up the phone on him, he might not make it past this season.
