    Yeah, but they will need to include a decent sized contract ala EG to get it it done. It will have to be a 3 way. The 3rd team will most probably ask for assets from the Lakers., eg Kuzma.

    LeBron the GM might be dumb enough to do this. I wouldn't. The Lakers should hold on for Anthony Davis.

    I think Butler is a good player, however, he's not a max player. Plays good defensive, however, he's not a 3 point shooter and has been injured lately. His contract will become worst than Anderson's. I'd rather keep EG and Tucker and let's roll!

    Even on one leg, Butler is far superior to Anderson.

    What you see no value in JB? I guess the rumor that Morey is after JB is not true after all. You must be some GM secretly helping the rockets out. So nice.

    I see millions reason that JB would help us defeating the warriors. JB may not be an all star in some of the people eyes here, but he is an upgrade over Ariza. That's a fact.

    Morey's long coveted 3rd star. Time to throw the barn at Minn.

    I'm gonna be honest with my thoughts about butler..... I think he a good player but I just dont think he makes a difference...... honestly for most of that playoff series I never noticed him...... I dont believe he shut anybody down..... and to honest I've never heard of him ever shutting anybody down.......

    dont get me wrong for the right deal sure.... dont I dont think hes more valuable to our team than eric.......

    hes just gone unnoticed too many times for me to believe hes a difference maker.....

    (reposting the list of teams cited by media)

    [ESPN - Wojnarowski] But the list of organizations interested in talking further with Minnesota is significant, league sources said: Brooklyn, Detroit, Houston, the LA Clippers, Miami, Philadelphia, Portland and Sacramento are among the teams interested in probing for deals.
