I wonder if there is protection on that pick, Noel has been pretty damn good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Weir deal by Philly. Is Justin Anderson any good? Note, just looked up Anderson...I'm not overly familiar with him but a pretty solid PER for a young player. Philly must like his upside? Or maybe they just don't want to pay Noel what it will take as a restricted free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just horrendous if that is the case (unless the protections drop dramatically down the line and they are guaranteed a first rounder at some point).

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Who would Boston prefer to acquire if they had their choice of Butler or George? I don't really know who'd fit their team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know who'd fit their team better. They have been long rumored to like Butler so it makes me believe this George stuff came out to gain some leverage in Bulls talks. Ainge and Bird are buddies and Bird always said that George was off the table until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know who'd fit their team better. I think it would be George just based on the fact that Thomas needs the ball in his hands and George is a much better three point shooter than Butler.

Butler is the superior player, period. Not even a discussion. Add in the fact that Jimmy is under contract for longer and on a freaking value deal and it weighs even further to why Boston would prefer Butler. Butler has a 25 PER this year (coming off a season just above 20) while George is at 18. That is a huge difference. Not even close and Butlers last couple years PER's have been better then George's. It isn't like he's an outlier. Butler also has been healthier in his career. I like Paul George and would want him on my team but right now, Jimmy Butler >>> Paul George...factor in contract and the gap widens even more.

Shorter contract, and he's a risk to flee to LA. Even if you prefer PG as a player, the two years of difference and the uncertainty should make the Celtics prefer Butler.
