    But but Jimmy Butler is a great leader and SO unselfish....

    I'm all in on getting Butler though. He'd be a great wing compliment to Harden.

    Yeah...Harden's lowest games played totals will be 73 and 78, since he's been here....his durability, especially given his workload, is not appreciated or talked about enough.

    Word on the street (aka 790am;)) is, Bulls aren't satisfied with Butler's leadership growth.

    Seems inaccurate considering his comments about the team needing to be coached harder.

    What is the fascination with Joakim Noah?

    Just need to get him alongside natural leaders of men like James Harden and Dwight Howard.

    That actually makes a ton of sense for both teams.

    I think a CP3-Butler back court would be an interesting counter to the Warriors, both of those guys can D up.

    Isn't this the guy that doesn't believe in looking back...so he took the rear-view mirror out of his car?

    He is a perfect Robin just like Harden. Both are Robins who will need a Batman to push them over

    according to multiple inside sources they won't resign Noah or Pau either.
    And Butler was talked in trades but with a team that hasn't been revealed yet and would bring back a great player on a rookie contract.
    So dunno..Lakers?

    Gar and Pax have messed up all their assets and it's a pleasure to watch them burn the Bulls to the ground.

    He has awful shot selection and is a ball stopper. He may need knee surgery in the summer. His defence has fallen off to average at this point and he and Rose can't coexist.

    He used to be good.
    Eff it, I'd take a flyer on him ala J-Smoove/Beasley.

    Taking a gamble on Noah is better than wasting a roster spot on Jones, not to say there aren't better options out there.
