Do you think we'll make a major trade before the deadline?

well look at the entire body of work then. butler averages more points per game than iggy, and shoots a higher percentage than iggy does from the field, free throw line, and 3 point line. butler is playing on a good team with other good scorers and iggy isn't. iggy averages 8 more minutes per game than butler does (37mpg-29mpg) on a bad team and still can't outscore butler. so i don't understand why we need to mess with team chemistry to bring in a guy that butler has outperformed. i know his rebounding is higher than butler (6.0rpg-4.3rpg) but again, butler plays 8 less minutes a game. i just need someone to really convince me how this is even a significant upgrade because i'm just not seeing it here. butler is really finding his groove here in dallas after a slow start and i think we need to hang on to him.

Scoring more and more efficiently doesn't mean Butler has performed better because he hasn't, Iggy is an a lot better rebounder, passer, and defender than Butler and is clearly the better player, but im not sure it would be an impact move and it may affect chemistry

You clearly need to read my previous posts, where I basically say the same thing you just said. Taking one game, though, and then having five or six people comment on using it as a reason not to get Iggy is crazy.
