http://www.celticsblog.com/2017/1/16/14291114/love-him-but-going-after-jimmy-butler-is-a-big-mistake

So I make a FanPost about Jimmy Butler, and ironically, Jaylen Brown is playing extremely well today lol.

Still needs to work on his handles and body control...hes almost too fast and springy for his own brain. Loses balance and handles too often.

He'd be a good fit but the problem is the price is just... ugh  :o

His defense would be welcome here and his shooting is great. #2 scorer alongside IT.

Hes not exactly a great shooter, and he hasnt been shooting that well either. Although he is great from the line.

His 3 pt. shooting isn't that great but overall he can hit around 45% of his FG (not horrible).

The other thing with Butler is his defense, one of the best in the game (alongside the likes of Kawhi Leonard). Sort of like Avery Bradley but a little better offense.

Ko has to try to post Williams or they win that matchup.

Every time Amir shoots a 3 I die a little bit inside...

I mean, he's shooting 38% from 3 this year, so I don't know why.

You just look at it and cringe, then it goes in

It was nice to see Green and Brown together.

Michael Kidd Gilchrist doesn't look like much. Doesn't he make more than anyone on our roster except Horford? I'm not impressed.

Isaiah's not attacking the rim today (10 of his 15 shots are threes, no FT's). That's super weird against a team with little interior presence.
Isaiah, you were lightning in a bottle.
