Before watching this series, I would have voted for Love. Now, I would vote for Butler. He is 1 year younger, his contract is slightly cheaper though shorter, and he is a two-way player. Thoughts?

What's the cost? That's the most important thing.

Neither - because as you said, the price is too high, not to mention the fact that I've never been a fan of Kevin Love, so there's that.

Either one. Both would upgrade the roster and win more games for you.

Maybe if it was 3, KO, Rozier and Hunter. Can't see team losing AB and 3 for Butler

That's a difficult question.

Butler is definitely the better overall and two-way player, but Love fills MUCH more of a need for us. Love will also come much cheap assets-wise than Butler, so it's difficult to give a real answer to this.

We need a bonafide All-Star. After watching Love on the Cavs I feel his performance with the T-Wolves was more empty stats, than team-altering talent.

I like Jimmy Butler, but to me he doesn't make us that much better given the fact that we already have AB on our squad, that is a better shooter, but not as good a slasher... AB's defense is also better.

So my vote was none of the above

Either one, since both automatically make a roster short on talent and woefully short on scoring better.

Butler will cost much more, however.

I was trying to say if the price was the same for both of them. I agree with you, Butler is just a better player at this point.

if we can get love without using nets picks, I'm going for love



Not sure if possible


But if we could add love and a good rookie that'd be great

BUTLER! Come on, this isn't close. Our biggest needs are paint presence and a Wing scorer who can defend elite wing players. He is the definition of "filling a need"

Did you see Love last night? He looked lost. I don't want him at all or we would have KO and he as matching lost bookends.

I'd rather have a butler. Love is fickle and emotions can change, leaving you broken hearted, depressed, and drinking too much. (Well, I guess it is not totally bad. )

But a butler is stable, reliable, and does what he should each and every day. Plus, your house is cleaner.
