Bulls are STUPID. Butler+16 for LaVine+Dunn+7 is highway robbery by Minny. Phoenix should have traded #4 straight up for Butler.

The price on PG dropped drastically. I imagine that Buttler trade is going to put a lot of things into perspective.

If anything, it goes up actually. No other star wing player on the trading block to compete with.

Thats not how the market works. You don't go look at two houses right next door, both prices at 750,000 and one sells for 300,000 and say ok let me pay 800,000 for that house right next door, No! You take advantage or walk. The pacers have to move him sometime to let him walk for nothing, which they won't do. they have no leverage.

Knowing the wizards not drafting, I'm watching this to see how the division looks first, then the conference. Not concerned about Atlanta, but Miami and Charlotte may give the wiz fits.

The Hornets (on paper) look like a playoff team:

PG: Walker/Monk
SG: Batum/Lamb
SF: MKG/Batum
PF: Zeller/Williams
C: Howard/Kaminski

That's a deep versatile team.

That's cool. You can walk if you want, but if demand is sufficient enough someone is going to buy that house.

I think Charlotte and Miami can finish in the 6-8 slots, along with possibly Philly fighting for a spot

I like the analogy so I gotta agree the price dropped for PG. Butler set the market and PG is a nicer house but the neighborhood is what it is...you can buy this house or the owners can go to foreclosure.... price dropping...

Why would we slip? We haven't lost anything

The Wizards won't slip but we won't get significantly better until we make a larger move. Need guys like Otto and Oubre to continue progressing to the point where they can be packaged for a star.

Exactly The pacers are done for years if they just let PG walk for nothing, they need to take what they can get and I imagine, after that bulls trade danny just called and said you know what we can wait can you, and lowered the offer probably by 40% value.
