I made the same comparison the other day. I was telling a friend of mine that Butler's ascension was very similar to Paul George's.So Jimmy Butler is basically playing at a Klay Thompson or Paul George level right now.
I still can't believe how much he's improved since last season, it's probably the single biggest reason the Bulls are a title contender.
I would take this Butler over George even before the injury, he just seems to impact the game more.So Jimmy Butler is basically playing at a Klay Thompson or Paul George level right now.

They already offered him about 12 a year before the season, I think the max for him is only a bit more at 15, they'll pay it.I would take this Butler over George even before the injury, he just seems to impact the game more.
To bad Chicago will not pay him, hello Lakers.
It's nice to get the win, but the Mavs just struggle way too much fur my liking against teams that aren't even at full strength.Watching OKC's offense the final 2 minutes of the game is a perfect example of what I was ranting about the other day.
Just a bunch of bad one on one basketball by the Thunder PGs. No system being run whatsoever.
Too many damn turnovers by Houston and too many WTF shots by SA.Hou-SAS has been a pretty good game from the bits and pieces that I've watched.
I'm going to have to watch the full replay later tonight.
If they decide to go in a different direction, then they need to go with a proven coach who can command the respect of the team. By going with Lue, there's no way you're gonna convince anyone that he's telling Lebron what to do, and it would be a bad idea to let Lebron run the team.I don't give Blatt much more time...he seems like he would have been better off without James and Love...both added after he came on. Hard for longterm vets to buy into a coach who really has no track record. Lue doesn't either, but he has been coaching in the NBA at least.
Read some things where Lue has the respect of the players. Karl would be a bad fit, they need help defensively.If they decide to go in a different direction, then they need to go with a proven coach who can command the respect of the team.

If I were Cleveland, I'd go straight for George Karl.
He gone.So Jimmy Butler is basically playing at a Klay Thompson or Paul George level right now.

Then they'll have to get rid of some other big contract(s).They already offered him about 12 a year before the season, I think the max for him is only a bit more at 15, they'll pay it.
