If Clevelend moves Kyrie they could get Bledsoe or Knight back somehow?

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
I would not be excited to see a Jimmy/Lebron/Kyrie team, Cavs would be a bigger monster in the east

why wouldn't the suns just trade for butler directly, though? do they really want love more?
hopefully we'd get 4 + more young talent, maybe in exchange for taking on brandon knight's contract. if we get just bender/criss - or worse, a package built around bledsoe?? - i'd be pretty pretty mad
Id be rooting harder for the Cavs to fall, Lebron was the one pushing for superteams I like to see him get beat by a superteam again

No way Kyrie is on the table. Dude steady drops 40 point games in the finals. Love is the only person who is expendable on that time of any value

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
The Bulls need to consult with us before doing this one...

If Booker isnt included in deal they can go f(=" themselves. Both.
Right? For JB, if Booker isn't included thats a missed call right there

Nice!!! lol at PHX if it were to happen. Trade for a PF to slow the growth of your already redundantly drafted young 2nd year PFs!!!
Reinsdorf & Co. - sell the team!!

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
If Cavs take Jimmy I'd make it mandatory for the Cavs that Wade goes somewhere in this trade

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
I am quite sure we are going to hear all type of stuff from now until the day after the NBA Draft. I truly believe Butler's days as a Bulls are numbered. It is only a matter of time.

But he's not good defensively, if you look at his off/def per 100 possessions in the playoffs he was +1 where as LeBron was +17, Love was +13 and Thompson was +20

Gilbert must think he can get butler cheap or something. Cavs have absolutely nothing Bulls would want for butler. Unless maybe they trade kyrie and then flip that trade to us for butler.

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
If Butler goes to CLE (and I do not believe he is) look for Wade to sign with CLE as well. They'll have Kyrie, Butler, Lebron, somebody, TT with Wade, JR Smith and some other people off the bench.

I dont disagree - but this dude snapped in the finals for 2 years in a row. I dont think that can be an oversight. He hit a game winner on the road in game 7 of the finals. I dont think Butler in his place makes that team better tbh

4 + chriss + ...i dunno, ulis or t.j. warren + maybe a future pick/pick swap from the cavs?
it's not great, but they're not going to give up booker, so that's the best i can come up with

Re: Cavaliers trying to trade for Butler
Butler going to Cleveland with assets in return (picks, expiring contracts) and Wade opting out nearly clears over $41M off the books for the upcoming season........

Sickening if we trade him to the Cavs.
