Thank you , finally someone that gets it.

I feel bad for OKC fans. That is a team with truly awful management
How is this bad for okc? They stay hauling picks
I mean...did you even see the reports for what they wanted from us compared to what they ended up accepting? lol
But I guess its not bad deal for them per say. I think its worse than the immediate cap relief we were offering though, and I doubt all those picks they're hauling amount to anything for them or for any trade partner they might be trying to hoard them for.
Then again, OKC might have been seeing it like since they're not really a destination, what do they need cap space for bc no one will sign there. Idk. Either way I don't care much and I'm glad we didn't trade any young players for him.

I agree 100%. We're on the clock and facing 2 potential wasted years. Brilliant.

Butler will make us stronger players in 2021 than we'd have been with J-Rich. So no. Having him is better for the development of the young guys as well, more competitive team.

We’ll have a 32 year old Butler making $36 million eating away at the cap space we could use for younger all stars. If Bam develops, he’ll be asking for 15-20 million that offseason too. Maybe Riley can pull something out of his ass, but seems like a lateral move. We’ll see.
