If the Wolves trade #5 for Jimmy Butler

[Kiddlovesnets]

Bulls won't pull the trigger unless Wiggins is involved

Wiggins is better than Butler, the Wolves are stupid if they add Wiggins to the trade.

[LilEddyCurry]

Lets compare Wiggins to Butler...

Wiggins averaged 20.7 points on 45.9% shooting, Butler averaged 20.9 points on 45.5% shooting.

Wiggins is five years younger than Butler.

Wiggins is 6'8" with a 7 foot wingspan and a 44" vertical, Butler is 6"7.75 with a 6' 7.5" wingspan and with a 39" vertical.

So The Bulls want to trade Butler for Wiggins + the number 5 pick??

[CuterThanRubio]

Lavine is taleneted, but #5 + Lavine for Butler rapes the Bulls.

How?

That team is going nowhere constructed the way they are currently.

Starting fresh with young talent is probably the best idea for them unless they want to continue treading water with D-Rose lite and Butler leading the way.

[SamuraiSWISH]

I'd take Lavine for him honestly. Whatever value Jimmy has as a two way player, he's still not a superstar and he's already at or near his peak.

But he's not worth it for Chicago when you factor in young coach he doesn't want to play for and constant chemistry riffs with the rest of the team. Most notably Derrick.

Time for us to go young.

Wiggins + Pekovic for Butler + Mirotic + #14

IF they can pull that off, the Wolves will be WELL ON THEIR WAY to a top 4-5 seed in the West. Not saying they will win rings right away, but they would have the makeup to be in the upper tier of the West rather quickly.

Butler, Wiggins, and Towns would give them three legit 20 point scorers. And who knows, Wiggins and Towns could develop into legit superstar caliber players. Both are still MAD YOUNG!!

Rubio is one of the RARE pass first PG's in the league and he would love dropping off dimes with that revamped sqaud. Defensively, they would be very strong as well. From there, they would just need to add some snipers to make the scoring complete.

fool.

to get Butler u will need to chip in (wiggins or KAT) + lavine + #5, just cos J.Butler is one of the best two way player in the league.

[G-train]

Rose - 27
Lavine - 21
Brown - Rookie
Portis - 20
Gasol - 35

Snell - 24
Moore - 26
Gibson - 30
Mirotic - 24
McDermott - 24

That gives Chicago a lot of (trade) pieces to work with...

May as well build around Rose. If it works out, you look like a genius. If it doesn't, nobody will blame you.

Looks like a stinking horrible roster to me. Plus Gasol will be a FA.

Nobody 'may as well' does anything in the NBA.

[G-train]

I'd take Lavine for him honestly.

Crazy.

[bobopenguin]

Crazy.

that was beyond crazy. taking Lavine over J.Butler.

@ even wasting your energy typing KAT... and now I dont even know where to begin with the rest of your post.

this trade has almost zero shot at happening unless the Wolves unless can rip the Bulls off by only giving up a player like Bazz/#5/whatever.

Thibs is probably just sending smoke signals so Boston ups their price. would be absolutely shocked if Butler was Wolf

Lol, whoa u think butler would get KAT + lavine +5 your on crack .. No gm would trade KAT for butler straight up let alone 2 other big pieces.

More like for KAT Bulls trade Butler plus half there team plus draft picks..

[bobopenguin]

lol u guys.

first of all, no.5 is sh*t, that pick means nothing.

second, no rookie is untradeble. The only untouchable player right now is curry and AD.

J.Butler wont get u KAT, for sure. but Lavine for Butler? lul.
