Booz, Redd and Tayshaun were definitely at the bottom of the totem pole of the 2008 team.

Jimmy is basically a poor man's Kawhi
The slight edge as a player Kawhi has is eliminated by his lack of availability.
Kawhi is the greatest System player of all time.

Not true. Shaq was the best. Try again again.

Redd was an All-Star multiple times. Boozer I think twice.

I’m taking Jimmy or Demar over Kawhi.
Jimmys 2020 run in the playoffs was more impressive than Kawhis in 2019.

Yea THAT wasn't the argument though.
On THAT squad they were on the bench.
But in the wild, they were not role players.
Derrick White IS.
It was a wild claim to make.

I said considered. Not was without a doubt the best.
The point is, he was there as a requirement for one college player.

It’s a fair assessment.
Might have a better chance of staying in playoff range if we can somehow turn a combo of any of Norm, Bones, PJ — maybe Mann if absolutely necessary - second round picks into a LaVine or Ingram.

Boozer has always been a role player. Even in his all star seasons. He was not a super star player. I'll concede Michael Redd. But there were other players that were higher echelon that could have been picked over him. The team is about fit and politics.

Oh wow beating Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid is impressive
GS with no Klay or KD was such a threat

Ty Lue is an assistant coach, probably saw Kawhi hobbling and was like nah.
Team USA wasted everyone’s time

I assumed Kawhi was gonna play the Larry Bird role.
There aren’t any ‘08 Spains out there so no harm in wasting a roster spot.
If he was gonna drop now he coulda let someone else come to camp and get the reps

Who do people think Jimmy Butler is?
He's played 65+ games one season since 2017.

55, 58, 52, 57 , 64 and 60 is Jimmy's last 6 seasons of games played.
And he's been hurt in almost every postseason run
and Pat just called him broken a month ago

Perception has you believing Jimmy Butler is some sort of Iron Man when being compared to Kawhi. Check his GP Over the last 6 or so years.

I’m not mad at Jimmy being poor man’s Kawhi
Im just saying Kawhi is middle class Jimmy.
