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.
You can put off resigning the younger players till the free agents are signed, it'll just be their cap hold eating into some of the space till then.

I agree 100%. We're on the clock and facing 2 potential wasted years. Brilliant.
What you guys don't get is that a depleted team with just Butler and Westbrook wins nothing PLUS Westbrook takes you out of 2021 free agency.
A team with Westbrook has a chance because he is on the the team.
This team as constructed wins nothing. Leaving 2021 FA without a legit free agent still gets you no where. 2021 isn't a sure thing. People resign with teams, get injured, or straight up signs somewhere else.

Imagine 2021 comes and Jimmy is by himself , Bam and Winslow are not all stars and The Greek Freak says “ I’m staying in Milwaukee “ Oof

Fax are stil fax, Russ is still overrated and Rok's traded Old, expensive and could shoot, for relatively young, expensive and can't shoot
Hopefully playing in a system and with a top 5 player affects him greatly
Deserved the MVP that year though, imo. Russ was something else that year, an outlier year for him in terms of his outside shot and clutch performances. Advanced metrics all favored him over Harden too.

Plus never like the fit with 2 ball dominant players.
OH WELL.
in my head it seemed nice but rational thinking, nope.
