Spurs - Nuggets deal

[SpursGM-old]

Spurs trade:
Alphonse Butler

Nuggets trade:
Eddie Uner
Hawks 2010 2nd



Spurs agree.

[OldNuggetsGM]

Denver agrees.

Uner is easily replaceable, and there isn't anybody left who I was dying to get my hands on.  There are still some intriguing guys, but no one who will help me.  

And I don't think Butler's that much different than Shultz (other than the inside game), so I obviously like the guy.  But please, someone help me understand how Shultz is a B defensively, while Butler has near identical ratings but is two positions lower at C+.

[HawksGM]

I like this for the Nuggets, Butler could be a good SG pretty soon

[NetsGM]

surprised everyone's talking about the nuggets, I think this could be a good trade for the Spurs.  I like Uner.

[MagicGM]

Butler looks good.

[CelticsGM]

Denver agrees.

Hard to tell, both don't stop anybody with better opponents shooting up to 60%, but I could imagine that Shultz, being the vastly superior offensive thread, causes opponents to spend more energy on their defense thus having left less offensively. And all of a sudden Shultz looks decent on defense.

But i could be totally wrong here too ...
