Jimmy Butler - CHI - G

Finally a healthy season and although he had a shooting slump after ASG he was money come playoff time. Josh never again doubt Jimmy Buckets!

They will almost undoubtedly bring back a wing (Crowder) and things would remain relatively stable in Chicago. If it were Crowder, there would be some additional usage available.

Who would benefit the most if Jimmy Buckets left the Bulls?

Last time Isiah tweeted those sideways eyes was right before they got Horford. Stay tuned.

And so we have yet another lesson on how Trump won.

Or better yet just look at the handle...pretty easy to tell...

He has 37 followers...

Fake sources man...come on...

@deadmau5whomp what's your source?

Maybe IT's tweet was aimed at Vlade and Vivek?

IT just tweeted the emoji sideways eyes...is Jimmy gone?? Who's the pickup if so?

seanmcfadden -- It looks like you need Giannis' blocks, and his production there is what tilts me to his side.

Westbrook, Wall, McConnell, Lin/D. Booker, George, Covington, Embiid, and Morris round out my team right now (obvious punt FG and TO built)

seanmcfadden -- Without seeing your team, I'm pretty certain I'd want Giannis in that trade.

Butler, Gortat, and Gallinari (UP) or Antetokounmpo (DOWN)?

Hot take. He's really good

back with a vengeance!

dang lost 10 LBS from being sick!

Kemba/Hayward UP or Butler Down

Do these trade rumors hold water? Would a landing spot like Boston hurt his value? trade high (UP) Baller ROS (down)

Knock on wood he doesn't break down though. He has three years in a row that not exceeded 67 games. Yesterday around mid 3rd quarter he was really exhausted, but managed a very strong finish.

Something to keep an eye on if wades knee injury causes him to miss time. Butler has a usage rating over 40 this year with rondo and Wade off the floor. This is the same as Westbrook. He's going to have some monster games

I looked Kobe's 81 up. It was a 5.37 so that's probably it. Lillard was a 4.76. Harden's game last week was like a 2 something for reference. Percentages and Turnovers matter....Kobe's is probably the best in the modern post 3 point line NBA. Really only Jordan's 69/18/6/4 and Akeem's 38/17/12/6/7 would probably compete.

Up Jimmy, Down Porzingis

Kobe's 81 point game has to rank up there (1/22/2006). It's higher than Lillard's last year.

This is something that wouldn't be too hard to track, and we'll get a page added showing Top 100 games or so. We'll assume a standard 9-cat with 156 players to keep it consistent.

Lillard had a huge one last year, maybe that's the one!

What is the highest "Value" score ever on this site. He just posted a 4.02 for a game, AD has a couple 4.06 games I can find. Anyone know.

Butler (UP) or Jokic (DOWN) in dynasty?

If those are your targets, then I would complete the trade personally. Injury wise, I'm not too keyed in on Butler's past but I believe it's been limited to knee sprains and just general basketball injuries. Both players have 56 vs 57 projected games remaining so I would imagine they have the same injury risk as each other in that sense. If anyone else has injury insight, please comment.

Thanks brezzab. Im targeting ast, stls and better % which Butler gives but would you label Butler as injury prone? I have Anthony Davis on my team and the last thing I want Re my top 2 picks sitting on the injured reserve list. I'm leaning towards yes but would love your thoughts on this.

@dondada83 - it's fairly even either way, but it depends on what categories you're needing to beef up etc. Note that from my experience last year, Cousins tends to rest a bit or get suspended towards the end of the season, whereas Butler will likely keep playing to secure a good playoff seed.

Hey guys need your advice. I have a trade proposal DeMarcus Cousins for Butler. Thumbs up if you would do this trade thumbs down if not. 12 team h2h league.

Thumbs up if you guys would trade Olidipo + Devin Booker for Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson?
