Celtics receive:
Jimmy Butler
Andrew Bogut

Bulls receive:
Jahlil Okafor
Jaylen Brown
2017 first round pick (via BKN)

Sixers receive:
Avery Bradley

Mavericks receive:
Amir Johnson
2018 first round pick (via BOS)

I'd do that deal if we keep the 2017 Brooklyn 1st and Jaylen Brown.

Avery Bradley, Amir and our 2018 pick is fair value for Butler. Borderline star and a pick. Much better return than what the Kings got for Cousins.

Here's a twist- could Knicks become so desperate to dump Melo and his money that we get their pick this year or next?

It's happened before. Cavs got a pick from Clippers for taking Baron Davis, it rolled first overall and became Kyrie Irving. Look at what the Kings just did. You can't know if you don't ask. And if we're giving up max cap space for a 32 year old, the least the Knicks can do is give us a good pick.

Or is it going to be another DUD of a trade deadline---where Danny says nothing made sense for us to do---?

Boston must acquire Butler or Carmelo until deadline. If they do it they can really contend on the Eastern Championship. After Toronto acquired Ibaka the Eastern Conference is getting stronger and Boston must respond with acquiring an All-Star like Melo or Jimmy Butler. Even if they will need to give up Brooklyn pick(s).

Rumor is Boston and IT followed Melo on Instagram, and Amir deleted his Twitter bio? From the Clippers' board.

So, i just got up. We got a wide twitter fun out there, it seems. We are linked to Melo and Bogut, right? The Bogut thing I like. The Melo rumor, not so much but...we would keep our BKN picks and that is great news. :P

You know what comes after Quint?

On the other hand, it might be a bit scary to get to Sept.

Yes you would in a heartbeat you would.

Butler is extremely underrated around here.

Hes a top 10 player in this league.

Sent from my SM-G930V using RealGM mobile app


In a couple years, when he's 30 and failed to take us past Cleveland and now wants a new max contract, while Jaylen is a young wing about to break out, we will regret it.


I don't and never have wanted Butler..Now if he is a gift sure I would take him. Chicago wants him gone for many reasons.
He can't even take them to playoffs while building roster. They have to go out and get Rondo and Wade and still they could fall out of playoffs race if some teams get hot.

Nothing relevant happened at all. This Melo stuff is garbage they followed him on instagram months ago. Media is just making a story out of it now.

Blake isn't coming. As I've said hundreds of times before Doc trades for stars he does not trade them. Now if he was smart they would start the blow up now with Blake CP3 and Reddick and build around DeAndre. But it won't happen so it's a non starter. Doc Rivers is an awful GM.

Absolutely nothing other than some Lakers- and Knicks-related rumors, as well as repetition of old bs.

Doc would be more likely to trade for Tyler Zeller, opt into the contract, give up a pick at the deadline next season to get rid of him to bring in another player.
