As a lakers I’ve wanted LaVine for 3 years in a row… but grabbing DFS and the emergence of Austin Reeves I feel like… (I may regret this later)but we don’t need him, i like our squad right now, lakers are deep and dangerous imo we just need one or two small moves. Only thing I’d give up for LaVine is Rui, jHS, Vincent(maybe) and one 1st rounder. If they’d take that I’d be all in on LaVine.. oh and they must add a back PG preferably Lonzo and/or a Big defensive center.
At least Lavine is younger and a better scorer. Plus they don't need to negotiate another contract in the summer. Also, he's not known to be a locker room problem.
All these Diva basketball players want big contracts in their later years but when they get there, not many teams are interested in trading for them. They cost too much. It wouldn't bother me at all if Butler got the John Wall treatment.
@@UnbiasedPep John Wall was not injured when he was sent home. Plus he is a Diva. The whole time he was with the Rockets he did not play winning basketball or even try to mentor the young players. He looked to me like he was auditioning for other teams.
Warriors offered more money then the mavs gave him. Klay left because he was wanted dray type of contract. He felt disrespected by the most ownership and left for less money. Klay last game with the warriors he went 0-9 in play-in game we needed a new start
Butler says he wants 'everywhere, but Miami', but the key part that he doesn't say is 'where I want to sign an extension'. If he gets traded to say the Wizards, he'll say "If you trade for me, just so you know - I'm not signing an extension. I'll waive my player option and walk in free agency." This basically eliminates teams like the Raptors, Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans, Jazz - hell, even teams that are around the play-in spots like the Pacers, Kings or Pistons.
You should start doing a "realistic trade machine" using the spot trac machine. Giving the actual possible trades. I tried to trade for Jimmy for a few teams and realized its very impossible. So what are the realistic trade the Warriors/Lakers/Sacramento/Suns/Etc that you think are possible. You just go 2 minutes on each real actual trades that would work and then you get an interesting trade machine 10 minutes video
The Warriors don’t need the drama and while Butler is a great player, they would have to gut their team. Also, his injuries could be pretty disruptive.
Some of these guys have superstar contracts and are barely stars. At his peak Jimmy is a star, but he’s never been a super star. He has had great games and series in the playoffs but he’s never been Top 10 in the league in my opinion.
Maybe not. It could be a buddy and Draymond situation 😂 If Vooch's shot isn't going down AND he's missing defensive assignments, Draymond will tear into vooch lol.
@berserkmonk5331 Vuc is slow, not lazy. Got very active hands in the passing lanes. Always rebounds. Always plays. Draymond is mad at Buddy, his buddy is proven to check out on defense over his career, generally. Not a slam dunk. But, good chance they work it out if it happens
Pat will want Reaves in the deal. So probably a Reaves, Rui, and Finney package. I don't think the Lakers will include Reaves. Not sure whether Gabe, and Schifino in place will make it happen. But I could see the Lakers making the move.
Why are fans NOT holding Buss/Rob/Rambus accountable for yrs of not creating a chip roster? When will fans be tired of front office GM Mismanagement? Rehire Magic! Dismantled 2020 chip roster then several play ins after that.
Jimmy situation reminds me of Chris Paul and that contract he got with phoenix. I don’t believe no one is going to pay 45+ millions to a soon to be 36 y/o. If he gets traded and he probably will should sign a team friendly deal if he wants to really win before he retires.
I would love Vucevic trade if we don’t have to give up Wiggins, Kuminga, and Dennis. Kuminga’s defense will get better and Warriors be forced to play more pick and roll. That will fix Kerr problem, too!!!
Wouldn't have to give up any key rotation players. Warriors have 2 expiring salaries in Looney and GP2, making about 17m. The bulls can take back i think a total of 5m salary, so if they really wanted to let vooch go, that's a possiblity. But the warriors have to shed 20m total so they have to include 3 players... They'd have to throw in Podz and I highly doubt the front office will want to do that.
I would bet that Jimmy isn't opting out of his deal. He wants to be traded now so he can get extended after opting in to his 52 million player option. That way Jimmy gets that huge money but can agree to a 30 million a year for 3 years afterwards. The reason he wants out of Miami is that he doesn't believe he can get 30 million for 3 years after opting into and playing for Miami. So he has to be traded now so he can opt in and then get extended because once you trade for Jimmy he has allll the leverage on your team. That's also why teams aren't interested in Jimmy, they know he will opt in and they aren't willing to pay him 52 million next year
Ok hear me out … Jimmy to the Spurs … Wemby getting deep playoff experience early can pay dividends for his development. Win now move without sacrificing the future.
Jimmy Butler is probably going to have to pick up that option. Is a team going to give him a 3 year- $150 million contract? Teams are seeing what's happening with the Sixers right now. Injured top talent with a team made up of old and G-league players...
Gsw desperately needs a big who can shoot. Give whatever it takes and maximize steph. Jimmy doesn’t make sense, gsw has two wings already that are both productive. Not a position of need
Houston. FVV and draft compensation to Miami for Jimmy Butler. Clean trade. Rockets don't give up any of their youth. Get a closer. Miami get a chip winning PG and flexibility. Fred has a team option for next year.
Sexton and Eubanks for Rue, JHS, Woods, 1 2nd, unprotect 2027, and one pick swap… I know a lot people would disagree with me but I don’t think the lakers need a starting level C just need a bruising backup who can play situational Bron at the 3 just not good option anymore. And they need another guard who can play make but also playoff Austin. He’s not best defensive option but I think u end up playing Max and Gave with either sexton or Austin most time to help but still can close with sexton and Austin cause sexton has the ability to guard just lack the focus
Whatever Pat Riley demands for Jimmy Butler, the Warriors should immediately offer the same package to the Suns for Kevin Durant. At this point, both sides should be desperate enough to bury whatever hatchet exists, and KD is an infinitely better 35+ player than Butler. Suns can pretend to compete around a new core of Booker, Kuminga, Podz, Jackson-Davis and whoever else they get back. Then, just trade Booker to the Rockets and tank in peace for a quick rebuild. The West needs at least one or two teams to drop out of contention, and LeBron is too self-absorbed to make the move.
Jimmy is overrated. Jump team to team. Btw the teams were mostly good. Burns every bridge. Sure he has great games here and there, but chokes when it really counts. Brings drama and toxicity, injured and no one is going to give him big dollar.
This is why NBA is horrible. People not honoring their contracts. Over paid players with no incentive to play. Tickets are so expensive and you don't even know if you stars are going to play. Let the NBA burn.
50 mill a year for a 35 year old that is injury prone, why are we even talking about him lol
Totally agree. 50 million for a complete headache of a human being? No thanks.
According to this pod fan boy. Every 36 yr old deserves like 40 yr old LeBron.
In no other profession can someone be paid that much and show up half the time…You’ll be fired instantly
Not to say he's not a good player but he's just not worth gutting your team for. Same goes for Lavine
As a lakers I’ve wanted LaVine for 3 years in a row… but grabbing DFS and the emergence of Austin Reeves I feel like… (I may regret this later)but we don’t need him, i like our squad right now, lakers are deep and dangerous imo we just need one or two small moves.

With Lavine atleast you keep your picks and he has only 2 years left after this
( 1 + 1 )
@kayKay-py1dy as a bulls fan, i want a Lavine trade but if thats what the lakers offering then hell no
At least Lavine is younger and a better scorer. Plus they don't need to negotiate another contract in the summer. Also, he's not known to be a locker room problem.
All these Diva basketball players want big contracts in their later years but when they get there, not many teams are interested in trading for them. They cost too much. It wouldn't bother me at all if Butler got the John Wall treatment.
These are B list players at that
John Wall was injury not age. Plus he’s not a diva.
@@UnbiasedPep John Wall was not injured when he was sent home. Plus he is a Diva. The whole time he was with the Rockets he did not play winning basketball or even try to mentor the young players. He looked to me like he was auditioning for other teams.
They didn't want to pay Klay and he's Team Home grown. Wjat make you think they are going to want to pay Jimmy 😂😂😂. And he want 50 million a year
Klay is not better than Jimmy.. bcuz Butler is a all around player who can create his own shot and not just a spot up shooter like Thompson!
Warriors offered more money then the mavs gave him. Klay left because he was wanted dray type of contract. He felt disrespected by the most ownership and left for less money. Klay last game with the warriors he went 0-9 in play-in game we needed a new start
Klay took less for 1. Wanted Draymond love. Butler way better than Klay right now
@@natesmobileservice1100Klay was stupi, he got the love. They paid him a max for 2 years that he didn’t even play.
@@dannyades6768they should've traded draymond took away the two players that Took the pressure off steph
Butler better pick up his player option because no team is paying him $50M in free agency
Agreed. Especially with the current CBA.
Jimmy Butler quit on his teammates unacceptable
Love the videos Trevor. Keep it up. Appreciate all the content.
Butler says he wants 'everywhere, but Miami', but the key part that he doesn't say is 'where I want to sign an extension'.

Jimmy will end up in Sacramento.. For Derosan. Lyles and 2 first rounders. An overpay but Sacramento ia desperate
You should start doing a "realistic trade machine" using the spot trac machine. Giving the actual possible trades. I tried to trade for Jimmy for a few teams and realized its very impossible. So what are the realistic trade the Warriors/Lakers/Sacramento/Suns/Etc that you think are possible.

They might give Jimmy Butler the John Wall treatment after this season
Doubt that always a desperate team who's one player away
John Wall got hurt Jimmy has not had a major injury. I don’t think they will treat him that way because he can still ball at a high level
I'm extremely happy about the Warriors not interested in Butler I would think it's a big mistake maybe on paper it ain't one reality it will be
The heat didn’t say they didnt want to give him a big contract they told the men go out there and play like a star.
The Warriors don’t need the drama and while Butler is a great player, they would have to gut their team. Also, his injuries could be pretty disruptive.
Some of these guys have superstar contracts and are barely stars. At his peak Jimmy is a star, but he’s never been a super star. He has had great games and series in the playoffs but he’s never been Top 10 in the league in my opinion.
I agree about that bulls situation.. they should be all in on Ace or Dlyan
Vuc and Draymond . . . I think those two savvy veterans would have a good time together.
Maybe not. It could be a buddy and Draymond situation 😂
If Vooch's shot isn't going down AND he's missing defensive assignments, Draymond will tear into vooch lol.
@berserkmonk5331 Vuc is slow, not lazy. Got very active hands in the passing lanes. Always rebounds. Always plays.
Draymond is mad at Buddy, his buddy is proven to check out on defense over his career, generally.
Not a slam dunk. But, good chance they work it out if it happens
Is a Middleton for butler possible ?
Nope that's 31 million vs 48 and the Bucks can't add players together because they are over the 2nd apron.
Vuc is getting moved for a 1st… shooting splits are allstar level.
Won’t even be close to a first
@ wrong, you will see.

The Lakers would have to do Rui, Vando and Vincent to avoid Reeves going into the trade. The question is why would Miami want any of that?
Why are fans NOT holding Buss/Rob/Rambus accountable for yrs of not creating a chip roster? When will fans be tired of front office GM Mismanagement? Rehire Magic! Dismantled 2020 chip roster then several play ins after that.
With what assets? This isn't mlb where there's no cap on spending and force trades dont exist in real life.

Vucvic
THT
Trade legally works.
Yeah your not getting Kaminga in a Vuc trade.
We talking about Pat. Yall think he want that garbage 😂😂😂. If it's not Johnathan K. PAT not going for trash players 😂
Even if Jimmy was a Free Agent , they shouldn’t even consider signing a past his prime former star player . Not worth the cost
Jimmy for Playoff P makes too much sense
I see him going to Minnesota again
Interesting 🤔.... hadn't considered that, but quite possible, given Minny wanting to get off Julius Randle's contract.
@ Not sure if Minnesota gives up Mcdaniels or Dante tho

Lavine to the pistons, zo to Lakers, vuc to warriors, butler to the nuggets
Yeah I can see that happening, zo would be a good pick up do LA, he looks healthy.
Do you let your 15 year old manage your 401k ?
Then don't go get Jimmy Butler.
The warriors might be better off just not trading for Jimmy because he’s getting up in age, doesn’t make sense to me.
Cold like Minnesota
Memphis make the call
Smart, VWilliams, Kennard some firsts
Clarke instead
Jimmy trippin if he thinks he’s getting a 50 mil deal from anyone at his age from a contending team.
I agree ❤
Blazers should make the trade to get out of sime of their contracts.
Jimmy has entered the Harden zone.
Ok hear me out … Jimmy to the Spurs …
Wemby getting deep playoff experience early can pay dividends for his development. Win now move without sacrificing the future.
The problem with the Warriors is that they run a 12 man rotation no matter who they add they will stil run it to 12 😂
Who would want this expensive, injury prone, diva? You want to know why nobody wants to watch NBA? Look no further.
Tge Flippers should trade for JB.. kawhi, James Harden and Jimmy will be a fun watch..
I think 50 mil right now is bad so just imagine that he wants that in future
The 76ers will overtake the Bulls...As a Warriors' fan, the Warriors need stretch big. Jimmy Butler and Draymond would be too much DRAMA/CONFLICT..
Sacramento lol they have demar I dont see them trading demar thats the main thing tbh demar lyles hureter would =48 mill
I can see Memphis
Are you serious? Jimmy Butler is a top tier talent and you're worried about losing Wiggins?
I think LaVine would be a Good Fit in “The Bay” - Steph/LaVine/Kuminga/Draymond/Center.
LaVine for Wiggins/GP2/Looney.
Jimmy in NO would be fascinating.
Jimmy Butler is probably going to have to pick up that option. Is a team going to give him a 3 year- $150 million contract? Teams are seeing what's happening with the Sixers right now. Injured top talent with a team made up of old and G-league players...
Hear me out one more time lol… Jimmy to OKC …. (Keep the 3 key young guys obviously)

It might be worth it if Dillon The Villian & Scary Terry are involved too? No draft compensation
Congrats on 100 consecutive videos talking about ‘regression is coming’.

Unprotecting a top 4 protected pick has zero value and isn't the same as a 1st. Your not getting Sexton for free.
Memphis Grizzlies IF GSW are out.
Why not just do lavine for butler heat dump butler and bulls get cap relief at the end of the season cause jimmy will opt out
Id love a 3 team Jimmy to Philly and PG to warriors
Disgruntled Jimmy Butler is a given after every 3-4 years.
Jimmy will be traded to OKC or Utah. 🍿 2 teams that have the draft picks to get him.
Warriors should go get Lonzo Ball n Liangelo Ball
3 way deal sixers and Warriors with Jimmy and Paul George!
The 76ers aren't giving up George for free. Lmao
Swap Jimmy for Zion?
Zion needs miami actually
Spurs should get him
Trade Jimmy for Ingram.
Du bs stay away from Levine and bucket head. Vooch 💪 willing Chef screener

It seems like Butler is today's Dennis rodman you could probably have them on your team for a year or two after that he's going to shake it up
I like pelicans get Rui, wood 2 firsts, heat get Ingram and Gabe Vincent and lakers get butler
None of the Lakers pieces have any value 🤣 that's not getting you a Butler.
