    Harden is a PG

    So Butler, Klay, and Jeremy Lin

    Can someone explain what are the Celtics doing? They better get KP or PG. Even than, PG could bolt and they would need to play Hayward or PG at 4 assuming they get Hayward via FA. The cost for Buttler seems to be little and why the hell Celtics refused to give 3rd pick for Butler, he'd be great there. It seems Ainge overvaluing his assets again and not doing much.

    the good news is that the Bulls have now plenty of capspace. Which means they are fat sheep to take advantage of.
    Their frontcourt is also almost non existant.

    3 young cheap players for Butler isn't bad, Bulls were not winning anything anyway.

    Who do you think? LOL
    RUBIO!

    That's right. The year before they fired him, there were many rumours out from their own FO. A smearing campaign which among other things said that Noah and Butler were very opposed to Thibs because of the offence and the minutes played and they wanted him gone.

    Then the next day after his firing Thibs was dining with Butler. So much for that being true after all. Still Jimmy didn't go out to the press to deny those rumours and support THibs.

    Anyway. Whatever you read from Chicago 99% comes from their FO on purpose. Especially their mouthpiece KC Johnson. They control all the press except one journalist. Only this one and the national journalists are reliable to be objective and trustworthy.

    I am of two minds on this trade. On one hand SMH yet another Western team becomes good wtf why are all the good teams out West?

    On the other it's good for Twolves to get their youth movement going on, they are now officially the league's new "IT" team and can definitely be a wild card to give GSW a run in the West if KaT and Wiggins continue their development as expected and Wolves end up with 3 superstars to GSWs 4 (err 5 with Iggy). Butler solves a lot of issues for them mainly regarding perimeter defense, he and Wiggins can both lock down the SF/SG spots like what MJ and Pippen did before and with his deft shooting touch he should be able to provide the spacing the Wolves needed.

    LOLz who am I kidding GSW will still wipe out the league this year but at least Wolves will be fun to watch.

    We can't do that unless we trade for Paul George and have max cap space.

    Butler, Wiggins and KAT is a nice threesome to build around

    West gets even stronger.

    Maybe Tyus Jones, Patton and Dieng -> if Indiana likes them :/

    Not sure if they like Rubio and Bjelica (who might also be interesting for us btw, he's basically a cheap Anderson with better rebounding and maybe less positional defense...)
