Curry is only 9th. I hope Butler gets hit by a bus just so I dont have to hear about it. Seriously tho I think he will have a big season. Moronic mistake to let him go.

Butler is 21 and showed unreal improvement in one season in a couple of years he is going to be a very solid post presence.....

Ben Wallace 16 million or Jackie Butler for 1.5million, i love ben but he is going to continue to decline and the picstons aren't going to miss him that much, that kid maxiell will provide similiar number and intensity very soon..... Still wish we could have found a way to get Darko he is going to be good in a few years

remember the PER ratings are based on production while a guy is on the floor. For example in this preseason Balkman would be rated amongst the leaders because he's very productive in limited minutes.

I think these #s are overrated in their value for determining a player's talent or value, but they do indicate a guy's impact while he's on the floor.

When Jackie plays he produces... thats all its saying

I dont know if i would go as far as to call it unreal but yeah butler did show some good improvement and at times it was better to have him in the game instead of curry, i also agree that like most of the players that played hard last year he didnt play as much as he should have, but I dont think butler has all that much potential to get really bent out of shape over losing him. even though i would prefer him to big snacks. and asd elite already mentioned that list is retarded so... cant read too much into that.

Anyone know how close his predictions 12 months ago ended up being last season? I'm curious.

PER can sometimes be misleading when a player plays only a few minutes per game. Although it normalizes for minutes played, it can't really take into account the factor that when someone actually plays more minutes, there is some diminishing return to their overall production.

That being said, Jackie Butler was easily the most underrated Knick last year and extremely productive for the limited minutes he got. He's gonna be the best bargain in Free Agency, bar none IMO.

no doubt... horrible move letting him go, especially after releasing Mo

Agreed. He would have been a very nice backup C. He may have actually played better than Curry last year, for that matter.

Butler was a victim of IT ego.

He was making Curry and JJ look bad. How is IT going to justify some minimum contract pickup from the CBA outplaing both of his megamillion centers day and day out?

So he traded he let him sign out of sight and out of mind in SA where he will only get to play a complementary role to Duncan along our other center who is better than Curry and JJ, Mohammed.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

how exactly would that make Isiah look bad when Isiah's the one who picked Butler out of the CBA pool of talent & gave him a shot to begin with? if anything that would make him look like an even better judge of young talent, no? i think letting Butler go was not a choice Isiah made, but one that was dictated by Dolan.

Yeah, you really CAN'T be worse on defense than Curry. It's just impossible.

I dont know guys - I cant tell you how many times i would see a play break down on defense, look back at the replay and see that it was a result of Jackie Butler standing under the basket with a thumb up his ass.....
