He has not signed with Cleveland yet. Kind of like the Nnamdi situation... just got to wait and see how this plays out.

He's all about the Coin

I understand the guy is looking for the coin, but if someone outbids us for they can have him. Yes Butler has tremendous upside but he needs to realize that he hasn't been a full-time starter. If he's going to be over paid, I hope its not by us.

We've missed out on much better FA's before. I'm not sweating Butler.

True, or if there really are some medical concerns.
