I have an idea. Brainstorm for me new nicknames, break it down letter by letter and potential pitfalls, and I'll consider it. You know I love a good fantasy. Maybe develop an algoritHIM.

Yes, I get it. "Jimmy" and "Him" and two letters in common, and you're very IMpressed with yourself for noticing the sIMilarity.specialsauce wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 11:04 amI have an idea.

I guess it's natural "locker room" (ugh) behavior. We praise players with names like HIMmy or Big Dick Nurk and express scorn by talking about DA's panties or time of the month or whatever. It's not really a healthy way to express praise and scorn.
Unless you're gay and just swooning, in which case, go ahead.

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors
I still don’t get the amount of hate Beal gets…he’s a terrible fit this year…but that was mostly because we signed Tyus Jones and Nurk became an absolute
of a basketball player.
The offensive fit works…it doesn’t work defensively at all. I don’t think that’s Beals fault. I’ve seen more effort defensively from him than I have Booker. I don’t know what Booker’s deal is this year, but he hasn’t been good. Beal is just small and so are Tyus and Booker. Nurk sucks and KD is 36.
Beal is massively overpaid and he can’t stay healthy…I think those are fair things to complain about…I don’t get complaining about his play on the court.

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors
I also like Beal as a player, probably more than Booker, but he hasn't been anywhere near what he was in Washington because as you said, it's a terrible fit. Also the health has been bad, but that goes for the whole mid 3, I think this team works with either Booker or Beal and KD just fine, probably even better with Beal because he's a better shooter but the redundancy was just too much. If you can defend or rebound because youre too small, it doesn't matter how good your offensive players are.
Love, Hurts.

Milwaukee is a 2nd apron team. No way they can trade for Jimmy unless it’s Dame or Giannis. Memphis was always an interesting team for Jimmy.

Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors
I’m hoping for a Jimmy deal to get done but even if it doesn’t, I’m positive Beal is probably gone by deadline. Just seems we are headed for a major shakeup with him.
Re: Jimmy Butler trade rumors
Detroit with Beal, Thompson, and Cade is a pretty solid little wing trio tbh.
Love, Hurts.
