PHX-HOU-CHI Harden and Butler 

Post#1 » by orlandomanic » Sun May 22, 2016 3:54 am

Suns get James Harden

Rockets get Jimmy Butler

Bulls get #4, #13, and #28


Harden goes back to AZ. Jimmy Butler gets to go back home to Texas. Bulls rebuild and get young, can draft Hield, Bender, Brown, Dunn, or Murry and get two more additional picks.

I can't see anyone but the Suns pulling the trigger on this.

Maybe if it was Booker and 4 to Chicago, Butler,13, and Warren to Houston and Harden and Taj to Phx. Still not sure Houston does that.

The Suns would be better off trading for Butler. They can play him at his natural SF and he's under contract longer than Harden.

This. Harden is just a worthless player, he is Joe Johnson or Josh Smith 2.0, he is just a bad contract with a low basketball IQ.

Chicago would be lucky to get a package like this, the value is pretty even for a player like Butler.

Bulls get ripped off here. There are better packages for Butler out there.

Phoenix would just Houston out of the trade and Chicago isn't drafting anyone at #4 that's a better player than Butler.

Nothing in this package is worth Harden.

Take out Houston, Butler goes to PHX. Harden isn't any where near the same value as Butler, and #4 and #13 are way too much for Harden. Bulls rebuild, Suns make the playoffs, Houston misses the playoffs again with Harden play iso ball for another 82 games

I'm not trading Butler for the #4 pick, and I see absolutely no reason to also want the 13 and 28 giving the Bulls 4 first rounders in one unimpressive draft with three of them being middle to late.
