I'm willing to be you $100,000 he will not be 29 before the start of next season.

The rest of your post is just as wrong. Just stop.

They will be better and I think he may know George pre NBA.

You know what I meant. Following season.

How is it wrong? If so where. Paul is a Hall of Fame. Butler isn't. Qualifies as "more accomplished". Has been multiple time 50 game winner regardless of coach. (Del Negro. Scott)

Where exactly was I wrong?

They are still fucking idiots and the Clippers just paid max money to keep an aging player who gets hurt every year.

Nah the Spurs will still be way better than the Thunder and the Rockets will be better too.

Thanks for the tweets reporting the "theft" of Paul George by @okcthunder.

Our investigative findings: totally legal & very savvy.

john wall problems.... gets offered 4 yr 170M... espn article states "he has to think about it"

he's 26, so perhaps we would be better served taking a 1 yr deal w/player option? still seems crazy to not take it andhave that security, even if your age 30 contract isnt AS great

Well you're wrong about Butler's age and what it means. If anything, Butler is still considered young. It's going to be another three years before his age even becomes an issue. Paul's age is an issue right now.

Also, it's dumb to compare their respective resumes on winning teams since Butler has only been the main guy for two seasons, two seasons in which he didn't have great teammates and had a terrible head coach. If you give Butler Blake, Jordan, Reddick, and JC he would also win 50 games and lose in the second round.

He's smart. He's going to make a shitload of money in his career regardless and he might not want to tie himself down to a mediocre Washington team.

"The Mayor" should definitely make the playoffs this year with the migration of talent to the West and the lack of selfish players like Butler on the roster. I cannot wait to be dazzled by the true realization of Hoiball in its purest form.

Health is not a guarantee, ask D Rose.... that's a tough offer to pass up... for what? an additional $30-$40 mil he could make by waiting a year or two to supermax? vs. signing now and then signing perhaps a lesser deal at age 30?

I don't think he's holding out for more money. He wants to win.

$19M a year seems like a lot but I guess it isn't. Mike Conley got $160M for putting up similar numbers the year before.

Conley is a great defensive player too but yeah that was a terrible contract.

I can't wait to see "top 10 "Jimmy Butler struggle to make the All Star team now that he is in the West. Better forwards and he won't be the first or possibly the second option either.

I expect a litany of excusemaking come February.

Curry gets $201M. That's a lot of dip.

4 years/$50MM for Mills to stay in SA. Not terrible.

He went from a $40M contract to a contract that pays $40M a year. I think he's fine.

So Chris Paul is penalized for being a great player at a young age? He was leading teams to 50 win seasons with West as his 2nd best player, Scott his coach, and Western as his conf.

As far as the Clippers go Reddick? Jordan? Del Negro? Please. Chris Paul made Deandre Jordan. Reddick isn't nothing special either. Griffin was hurt and Paul still managed to pullout 50 wins a few seasons in a row.

It's Dumb to use the Jimmy has only been the guy for 2 seasons crap too because he will be 28 in a few months. You're also assuming that he will be good for another 3 years. You have no way of knowing that.

_________________

It speaks volumes that you need to keep advancing Jimmy's age. He's 27 years old. Deal with it.

As far as Paul is concerned, he's a great player. He always has been. I'm the one who argued with you about how good he is/was a few months ago and you were hating on him. This isn't about him. It's about Butler and how silly you look by continually trashing him for no reason.

The Bulls didn't get the best deal. They got robbed. They got a cripple and a PG who sucked last year. And they have to pay the cripple before they even know what they've got in him. And he'll be paid Butler money.

Please argue that the Pacers and/or Clippers got the better return. I need some quality entertainment today.

I haven't been paying attention/reading in detail about the transactions. I thought you hated the butler deal? That's all I'm saying here too.

I didn't like the Butler deal but a lot of that had to do with who they drafted. Plus I love Butler as a player. But it's very obvious they got the best deal between them, the Pacers, and the Clippers. I don't think it's debatable(ltg will still debate it).
