Thanks Ron.


Buckets will have a option on the final year of his deal. Which if he continues to perform, I'm sure he'll opt out.

Happy to see Jimmy's gamble pay off for him. He deserves it.

Not necessarily. You see what Cleveland is doing? They resigned Kevin Love at 22 milllion a year AND Tristan Thompson $16 million a year. And they still have have to pay Lebron. Rose's deal does not look so bad now.

Twas sarcasm from all the rose/butler heat

Butler play the media like a piano to get his terms!

Props where it is due. Butler used the media's distaste for Rose to apply pressure to Bulls management. Butler had NO intention to go anywhere else. His widely reported and photographed dinner with Thibs on the weekend before free agency was a NICE touch and no coincidence.

To be fair, Harden has disappeared in playoff games too.
I'd argue Harden pulled the bigger disappearing act in the Finals...granted he was not the player he is now, but he's definitely had his dud moments.
