Yeah, probably just a function of feeling a bit threatened once Cunningham came on the scene and then trying too hard. I mean he played in 11 fewer games and had zero starts compared to seven starts the year prior. Steals and rebounds were up though. Can’t be easy for a second year guy playing third fiddle to a couple of lottery picks.

Yeah, I’m sure Bogey was a ****en cancer.

I'm pretty sure that obtaining Lee puts Butler on thin ice. I'm not sure why we would have confidence in Butler turning out to be a rotation player.

I’m thinking that short of a three or four for one trade, that Butler, NAW and Johnson are the odd guys out. I wish however that they showed some brass and waived Rudy Gay and kept either Johnson or NAW.
4 players out, nearly enough for 2 full teams back in. Crazy. And the "extra" players are not all just slouches, that could be a fringe team, which is actually pretty concerning considering our need to tank. Wild summer no doubt.
Butler strikes me as that guy that will take a while to figure it out but once he does he could be dynamic and very impactful. I for one hope they find a way to hold onto him. This is the perfect scenario to give him 2 years to figure it out, and help us tank in the process, and it does all click he might be exactly the PG we needed. Or if not we drop him when we finally get the high draft picks. Keeping him right now is a no-lose proposition and no-brainer to me.
Yes because "blow it up" does not equal "flush it down the toilet". They are not mutually exclusive.
The great thing about trades like this is that everyone can point to how that was the market, how there definitely weren’t any better deals out there because of there were, we definitely would have done it. There needs to be a name for this phenomenon of assuming that we always got the best deal.
In the future when we complain about the return, you’ll have the inevitable “lol there’s no way we could have gotten anything more for him, you think DA that dumb? Lol. If he could have gotten ______ he definitely would have.”
And this is one of those things where if we’re so inclined to such a charitable interpretation that this was the best possible move out there, then we have no obligation to make the move. I mean, this is a fan base fluent in KOC-speak, “sometimes the best move is no move.” If you’re trying to sell your 2010 Camry and the best offer you get is your neighbor offering his 10 year old Rottweiler and a half gallon of milk, it doesn’t mean you take it and lol at the haters — it means you decide you just hang on to the Camry.
