As two way players go Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and LeBron James are better.

Butler is probably a top twenty guy when you really start breaking guys down. This is what the Bulls would be without Rose and Gasol. A team that gets down 24 to the worst team in the league. This is what has happened during games against Indiana and Toronto also. Iso Butler gets you about 20-25 wins without other good players around him.

What? Every star needs good players around them unless you are a Thibs coached team that can win 50 games with Augustine as your best scorer. Gasol is important but the Bulls would be better instantly with a replacement level PG.

The Carmelo Anthony critics would have you believe that he should have been able to do it by himself. Remember the Infamous thread that shall go nameless.

There is no way I'm taking Harden over Butler. I'll acknowledge that I hate Harden, but Harden isn't a legit #1 on a good/great team, doesn't care about defense, or team. Imo.

I differ with you on Harden. I will acknowledge his lack of defense, but Steph Curry is every bit as worst a defender as Harden. Houston made it to the conf. Finals with him as #1 scorer. The Bulls couldn't beat a depleted Cleveland team with Butler as the man and they struggled against a mediocre Milwaukee team.

Rockets were a good/great team last year and he was a legit #1. Butler is still improving so I can see an argument for taking him over Harden, but Harden is a great basketball player. And Im not one to overvalue one dimensional scorers unless it's Allen Iverson.

Butler wasn't the man last year. Rose was going 1 for 11 and turning the ball over at an alarming rate. With Gasol and Butler as the 1-2 punch the Bulls still have a shot. Especially if Noah is used correctly.

I think he was in most fans eyes. He is the man when the Bulls win and Rose/Gasol are co-goats when they lose. That's been the pattern. I appreciate Butler because he plays hard and he defends as well as scores. If he is your best player then you're not going anywhere. The notion that everyone should step aside for Jimmy Buckets is flawed logic.

The Bulls beat OKC twice, San Antonio, and Cleveland with Rose in the lineup. They collapsed the other night once he got injured. They barely beat the worst team in the league last night without him. He really isn't hurting the team.

They're 6-1 without Rose. Rose isn't in the same class as Gasol or Noah when it comes to how valuable they are to the team.

Neither is marketing or app programmers or whatever it is that you do. You really are a dim bulb, as illustrated by the vast number of message board scrapes that you partake in.
