    the degree to which lowry and to a lesser extent butler have been mostly useless is surprising

    i get that jimmy is hurt but he's not even remotely able to operate

    He can’t jump at all. I don’t really blame him, I just don’t think he’s capable at whatever level of health he’s currently at.

    Miami has to make a few moves in the offseason to try and get over the hump but I don't know what the realistic possibilities are for them. Lowry is over the hill and his career is clearly done

    Herro is gone. Complete no-show in the playoffs but a sitting 6MOY will fetch a quality asset back. They have to punt on the Lowry and Duncan deals the first chance they get, even if that means absorbing a contract like Russ back

    Not playing Duncan at all in the playoffs has crushed their chances at getting any value back for him. Kind of a shitty situation

    Lowry and Butler aren’t good enough to make a huge impact at this level within a team structure.

    I feel like Lowry excels when he knows there aren’t many offensive option on his team and the stakes are low.

    Butler just isn’t athletic or skilled enough at 6’4” to be a go to guy at this level.

    Which is why you probably have to attach Lowry to the deal. That experiment failed miserably

    Butler is listed at 6'7 and might be taller than that honestly

    Jimmy was the 2nd or 3rd best player in the playoffs as recently as a week ago. He was literally carrying undrafted players, a cooked Kyle Lowry and a max player in Bam who desperately needs a sports psychologist before his knee gave out. FOH that he isn't good enough.

    You said Butler wasn't skilled or athletic enough at the height of 6'4. He's not 6'4

    Holy shit you’re right. He is 6’7”. Damn he sucks even more ass than I thought.

    Yea he look strong but he does not look 6’7” nor does he really take advantage of that height in the limited amount that I’ve watched him play.

    I’m not saying he’s not good. He’s just not good enough to be the go to guy on a team that can win at this level.

    Dude averages 17 pts over his career. He just sucks ass as a go to guy at this level of competition. He’s not taking a team to the championship as the number one option.

    Okay well we’re watching him in real time struggle to score when his team needs it when he’s not shooting 60 percent from the floor but if you say so.

    Saying a guy who just carried his team to the ECF, before being limited by knee issues, isn’t good enough for this level is certainly a take.
