Definitely didn't like Jaden Ivey getting hurt.

Fox is killing it per normal. Sixers fell apart terribly tonight.

When it comes to navigating trade requests, Jimmy's a pro at this lol.


I do wonder if they'll wait until that January 15th (not sure of date) date when the rest of league is fully available for trade.

I'm sure they have their targets.

Re: Happy New Year!! January Regular Season Discussion 2025

It's a situation where they should've traded him when they knew they weren't going to trade him. You have to parties with "DGAF" personalities. This was always going to be the outcome, especially after Riley publicly stated "if he's not going to be on the court, then he should shut up and play basketball". But at the same time, Jimmy always leaves teams on bad terms and still wants to get paid at age 36



I don't see Suns as a realistic option. I guess Warriors and Rockets. I think Warriors have the lockeroom to handle Butler. But, Butler isn't someone I want to extend. I'd rather have him pick up his option for next year.

And said they'll listen to offers now. 7 games seems like a lot

Re: Happy New Year!! January Regular Season Discussion 2025

The question in all this, will Butler really just play for whoever trades for him (as in, Miami can truly just trade him for max value) or is this gonna lead to him dictating exactly where he wants to go.

And if so, where does he want to go?

Warriors seem like betting odd faves. I don't know if the league can handle a Butler/Draymond team up.

Jokic vs Wemby is everything right now

Re: Happy New Year!! January Regular Season Discussion 2025

Knicks hung in there, but their lack of a bench hurts them against the top-tier teams. Not beating them only playing 6 guys.

The best ability is availability, which doesn't describe Mitch Robinson. I-Hart does all the things the Knicks miss.

Man, I have to watch the replay on League Pass.

Wemby is ascending to another level right before our eyes. I still want him to develop some 'go-to moves' inside the three-point line, but the high-volume three-point shooting is necessary (until he has more shooters around him).

He is amazing and it's hard to imagine where or what his offensive ceiling will look like (he's already a top 3 defender).

Jokic is incredible too, but Victor is coming for the crown real soon.

I could see Suns making a trade by the deadline. They're in Cap hell and don't control their draft for a while

This part of the year is always wild to me. Just let the dudes play.
