If they can package him and other pieces for Jimmy, they should absolutely do it.

They owe it to curry to get him help this year.

Curry's decline ( )

Caps curse has Curry a perfect 8/8 so far from 3

I'll eat some crow if he runs off a crazy streak but he only brings this every once in awhile now.

nah, you're right.

Father time is getting him. It's just nice to see he can still be great once in a while. Also helps when it's against a team like the 6ers.

Totally. There's nothing quite like a Curry explosion*. Gotta appreciate these legends while they're here and he's a total legend.

*gross!

OKC has the luxury of potentially landing Butler. All them picks gives them wiggle room to swing for the fence short term.

Won't happen. Picks is one thing, salary is another. At minimum would have to be I-Hart. Might look like a poor look to dump I-Hart so quickly.

I hate bourgeoisie.

Everything he has done for that franchise and they act like he is a scumbag for wanting to get paid and work a lil less as he ages.

I do not gamble, but I am willing to bet that whichever team trades for Jimmy Butler will win the championship.

Hope he goes to Denver, we can beat Denver, OKC might be tougher
Murray Russ and Butler with Jokic on the same team are dogs

I think Jimmy goes to Warriors.

If I were the Heat I'd be intrigued with Kuminga, he could become an All Star. He may be the best young player any team could offer for Jimmy right now.

They really do. They need to go all in on Butler.

I hate how players are complete idiots when it pertains to their on-court worth.

Klay went and cried because the Warriors didn't give him 60M per year. They probably offered him SOMETHING, but not superstar money. Now he is happy as a clam on 3 years/50M. He could be a lifetime Warrior, not split up that core, and gotten paid more.

Now is Jimmy bent up because of money? because of usage? because of game planning? coach calling him out? Hard to say, but if it's just about money then he is going to have a rude awakening.

James Harden did the same thing. He is on a 2 year 70M rather than the max he was fishing for. He could have been on a better team, but wanted more than he was worth and now he is making less or equal.
