You're an NBA agent, sell Jimmy Butler on the Celtics over the Bulls

[KG Living Legend]

Rose and Noah are falling apart , Gasol is old, coach tibs is gone. You could be the king here in Boston and it's all upside here,   tons of draft picks, Marcus Smart J Crowder defenseive  pit bulls, plus loads of draft picks and boy genius as your head coach more cap space in 2016 if we land one more stud we are finals bound. What's your pitch.

[knuckleballer]

Everything you said, plus the Celtics ownership is not cheap.  They were routinely spending into the luxury tax when they were competitive while Chicago has routinely avoided the luxury tax.

[GryphMinuteMan]

I like it but it sounds like it's coming from a homer. Chicago is still a more desirable place to play at this point for an NBA free agent.

Also, The Bulls are most likely going to match any max offer. I'm pretty sure they've basically already stated that.

To Jimmy Butler:

Smart and Crowder are willing to take the majority of the load defensively against opposing wings. Of course, we will still need your lock-down defense in clutch situations, but that will not be your focus.

We will let you focus on offense, being able to pick your spots in our open-system setup. You can play off of Thomas when he is in the game. We also plan to post you up in a 4 around 1 set with 4 three point shooters on the outside. This should give you plenty of opportunities for easy baskets or easy assists.

By signing you, we also instantly become a destination for another top star. We will do everything in our power to get a star big man. This should take pressure off of your offensive game as well.

In other words, you would have freedom to continue to flourish as a star in the league, without the constant pressure of creating offense or defending the other team's best wing.

Oh, and here's a max contract.

[D.o.s.]

                $67.1m               $89.0m           

Boston: $42,301,398             $23,354,889    
Chicago $63,965,681            $49,657,018

Tommy Point, well done. Exactly what I was looking for.

Selling Jimmy on coming to Boston will be tough.  But convincing Chicago to let him go will be much, much tougher.

how do we get Chicago to not match?

Exactly right.

Mark Wahlberg is also a part of that meeting discussing the upcoming Blindside-esque feature film about Jimmy's life ("Jimmy Meet World" -- working title, starring Michael B Jordan) and at the end drops a "Say 'hi' to your adopted mother for me."

How do you feel about going by the common nickname of your first name instead of Caron?



That's how you get Jimmy Butler on the C's next year.

Dear Jimmy Butler,

There's only room for one Rose to grow in the Chicago sidewalks. Joakim No-ah has turned into Joakim No-O-or-D. Paul Gasol is Pau Gasoft when it comes down to it. And Mike Dunleavy. Yep, we thought the last one was funny too.

Jimmy, you are a star. Both you and us know it. You turned down that insulting 4-year, $44 million contract before the season because you knew that you could go toe-to-toe with LeBron James. You took him out of his game, both last year and this one. Unfortunately, the rest of your team hasn't done their job containing everyone else. LeBron is taking over the Finals as we speak. No one on the planet can match you when it comes to shutting down LeBron(except for maybe Kawhi Leonard, but we won't say that). And you what team gave the rest of the Cavaliers trouble? The Boston Celtics.

Those 20 points per game you scored? I bet Thibodeau never even spoke a word about them. In fact, could he even pronounce the word "offense"? No, Jimmy. Those were not designed points or easy points. Those were man points that you took and earned. But add those 20 hard-earned points to 10 easy ones, and you're suddenly the face of the league. Our Coach Brad Stevens will give you that. In our pace-and-space spread offense, you won't be relegated to receiving pin-down screens and waiting for Derrick Rose to jack up a shot; you'll be the focal point. We were a top-5 team at getting wide-open looks. Did you look at our roster last year? You'll be coming to another hard-nosed, chippy team, just like you want, but instead of a fragile flower being the poster child, it'll be you.     

Boston needs a star Jimmy. No, it needs a Butler. We already have a 17-course meal of rings; it's time for you to serve up an 18th.

Hi Jimmy,
I would like to show you the Celtics rafters and tell you about the Celtics history book where you could write the next chapter on your own.
Looking forward to meet you.
Kind regards,
PS : Marc & Lamarcus would like to have a drink with you.
