Again no offense, but Butler seems like a 2nd or 3rd star of a playoff team, but that's JMO
No offense taken. But - I suspect - that if I gave my opinion of your opinion, REBEL would suspend my posting.
Well, obviously you were offended.....but you're not going to change my opinion nor I yours, but who really cares.

2.) Your comment about him being 27 and taking the Bulls nowhere. What in the world is that supposed to mean since Harden also 27 and Durant, 28 whom most consider actual superstars haven't, between them, gotten to more than one NBA title series with a hell of a lot more talent around them than Butler?
1. Individual stats don't mean a lot if you can't take it to the next level. Putting him on the block while locked up under contract makes me wonder why the Bulls would trade a franchise player unless they didn't believe he could lead them to the NBA finals.
2. Not saying he isn't a star, but when the Nuggets core is ready to compete in 3-5 years, Butler will be in this early 30's. As I've stated, I'd rather not give away assets for players who probably won't be here when that time comes.
If you don't care for my opinion, feel free to bypass my posts, I won't be offended
