A stud like...Jackie Butler? Haha.

He was good when he played here......

Seriously....Isiah's strength is picking young talent. Having the NBDL is an opportunity to use his one almost inarguable skill.

I mean, just think about it...Instead of signing JJ1, use Butler as a stop gap. He could have had Lawrence Roberts this year if he felt the need to let Jackie walk. Instead of Francis(and keep in mind this means we keep Ariza and Penny's expiring).

True. He did excell with New York. Really, a much better fix than sad back up J J.
