Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

I don’t care what anyone thinks. Dallas GM calling only the Lakers to trade him for such an absolutely hilariously bad return when given the opportunity.

And of course it’s LA. This is like if Clark Hunt traded Mahomes to his friend Jerry Jones and was the only one he called.

It feels very sketchy. This is the kind of thing that sends off the “rigged” conversation, not refs

A top 5 player for a top 10 player such a bad trade lol

My buddy the Mavs fan is livid that 'they got as much for Butler as we got for Luka...!!!"

I'm not having much success convincing him this is garbage in, garbage out.

The Heat got pretty much dick. Which is about what Butlers worth. There's really nothing to see here.

Warriors are gambling that 'playoff Jimmy' makes noise in the post-season. The Heat are just trying to get him the **** off the roster and needed salary filler to do it.

There's just nothing worth caring about here.

So the Warriors have improved. Good for them.

More like a young top 3 player entering their prime for an aging top 10 player with a long injury history.

Remember when you were calling LeBron “washed” a few months ago? How’s that going?

Not betting on the Lakers to win a title as long as these Celtics exist but they have a better shot at winning with Luka than they ever did with AD. The guy is one of the best playoff performers in basketball history. In combination with motivated LeBron come playoff time and shooters all around them, they’re a significant problem to deal with offensively.

That’s also basically how the LeBron Cavs had major success because they never had a big worth a damn either.

Because only one of them is and has always been a threat to you know who’s legacy.

Luka is basically the 2nd coming of LeBron offensively (or at least as realistically close as you can be). He just doesn’t play defense like LeBron did.

And yes those guys were all expendable and they weren’t winning with them but giving Butler a big contract is curious. At least it is only for 2-3 years.

They have had one terrible teammate the entire Warriors run (Draymond literally drove away their championship meal ticket KD), who cares about a 2nd one?

I like the deal for them. If playoff Jimmy shows up, they actually have a chance to make a playoff run instead of the 0% chance they had without him. You might as well just start the rebuild now if you aren’t gonna make this trade.
