Jimmy Butler almost got traded last night; is there a chance we could get him??

KCP, Stanimal, Ellenson, Future 1st. That's probably what it would take.

If that's the asking price f*** that. I saw some other report that said Chicago demanded Wiggins, #5 and another prospect. I wouldn't even do Wiggins for Butler if I was the Wolves.

Butler is a great player and id like him on our team but I don't feel he fits with our core age wise and if we traded for him we would become a treadmill 6th seed as we would loose too much talent and depth overall while not being bad enough for a high pick. IMO bulls should blow it up this offseason and hit reset. They no longer have the talent not the potential to win rings, all while trending in the wrong direction.

Yeah I think they're asking way too much for Butler. If I was them I'd keep him and rebuild. There's no way team are going to give that many young assets for him. Butler would have to be involved in a trade with a legitimate player that involve another prospect and pick. You can't ask for 3 Lottery pick players and a future pick. He's good but he's not that good. He's not the type of player that'll come in and change your franchise. Drummond can do that, so you can tell where his value is. Paul George can change a franchise, I don't think Butler can. What Butler can do is take the Clippers to the Finals. He can take Boston to the ECF. Basically he's the #2 star on the team rather than the superstar and it's mainly because of his offense. It's really good but it's not great.
