I'm under the impression that the organization views Knight, Giannis, Parker, and Sanders as our current core. I just don't see anything yet that makes me thing we will let Knight walk, even though I think paying him $10M+ per year would be a monumental mistake.
But operating under the assumption that's going to be our core 4, I'd really like to add the SG via FA and then have the draft available to go BPA. To make an offer to Matthews/Butler/etc. we would have to clear at least one of Pachulia/Mayo/Ilyasova, as we are currently only around $10M under the cap counting our 2015 draft slot, and assuming Dudley opts in (be foolish not to).
Unless I'm reading things incorrectly, it doesn't appear the Bulls have the cap space to fit Butler in. They are at $64M next year not counting their pick, and the cap is projected at $66.3M. They would need to clear quite a bit of salary to keep him. He'd be my target.
I agree completely with this Luke! Love to have Butler. I wish Marc Gasol was a couple years younger, he's 30 now (I think) but would love to see him as our 5.
can be obtained via FA. If Jabari and Giannis prove us right 
it's preferable if they grow in a winning team. 
They will gain much more this way. Our two protegees have still many things to learn, beginning with their defense and long shots. That's the most important. 
And while Kidd has transplanted them the winning spirit and spotted their weaknesses(which it's crucial), he seems not comfortable with losses.
We can hope SAC, CHA, HOU or NY to hit us the door. If a promising trade happens it's great, but I can't find joy if we start to lose on purpose.
