Well, this is interesting. I know Jimmy’s had some knee issues of late, but I didn’t realize it was concerning enough for the Bull’s FO to consider dealing him. He’s 26, which gives me hope that he just needs an offseason of rest to get back to normal.
If this report is accurate, then I would get on the phone immediately if I’m GM Rob Hennigan of the Orlando Magic. I would start with Vucevic + 1 other young asset (i.e Payton, Oladipo, Fournier and see how far the conversation goes.
If Orlando could land Jimmy without giving up too much of their core, then they would more appealing to FA’s this offseason with their 40+ million in cap space. My ultimate pipe dream would be to land Butler in a trade centered around Vucevic & then sign Hassan Whiteside in Nik Vucevic’s place. A core of Gordon, Jimmy Buckets & Whiteside would be one of the better defensive units in the league.

Celtics asked about Butler at the deadline I wouldn’t be surprised if they went after him again in the offseason. Celtics have the assets and need to use them

  Celtics will definetely make another offer. They want to get one more all star player. Butler is surely on that list. It will surely come down to where the Nets draft pick lands. If it is high enough say 1 or 2 the Bulls would def be interested. It would even be a tough choice to trade away Simmons or Ingram for Butler though. I would want think long and hard on trading away one of those guys. Would you trade the 1 or 2 pick for Butler?

  High floor that is absurd! Orlando does have some continuity problems, yes, and nedd more outside shooting and a more solid rim protector, but you want Orlando, a franchise with a history of giving up its best players to consider giving up maybe a vuc/dipo combo for Butler? Orlando loves dipo, as I work pedicab all People say is if they trade dipo they will be outraged. Unless they can get a guaranteed superztR that trade wouldn’t happen. And Payton or Gordon with one of the 2 wouldn’t be enough especially since Chicago has rose and Gibson and mirotic already.
  Also Whiteside, Gordon, butler? So orlando already has a outside shooting need, you want to take away vuc who can shoot the midrange, and replace him with Whiteside has bad defensive fundamentals they would still give up points defensively. Gordan still can’t shoot consistently. Butler is only slightly better at the 3 than dipo, although better finisher at the rim, Butler is the better scorer. Vuc the the better scorer then Whiteside so it evens out. Basically same problem orlando has had just different players.
  Jimmy would make them slightly better nor enough too pull off the trade. That’s just the real on the vuc/dipo/Payton trade. Like I said with the Whiteside scenario nonthing changes.

    Absurd? Lol.. I’m not mad at you Stop_Basketball, this is a forum so it’s cool to have different ideas.
    Orlando is looking to make a splash this summer, and having Jimmy on the team makes the franchise more attractive to FA’s. It would be a pretty big risk involving Oladipo in a trade, but Jimmy Butler is a 26yo star player that IMO is knocking on the league’s top 10 players (I have him in the 12-14 range). I like Oladipo, but I don’t think he’ll be as good as Jimmy Butler. We can disagree.
    Involving Vucevic in a trade for Jimmy opens up the Center spot, and I am a big fan of Whiteside. Yes, Whiteside has some flaws on defense but I would take him over Vucevic if all things are considered equal. Shooting would be a concern, but their defense would be improved enough that I think it could compensate for that weakness while Gordon & Hezonja continue to work on their outside J.
    So basically it comes down to me wanting Whiteside & Butler on the team instead of Oladipo & Vucevic. That is all

The whole Bulls team is going in the wrong direction……. Phila actually offered Butler a Max deal last summer & he re-upped w/ Chicago when they countered w/ a Max offer…….. I wonder if Chicago could do it over again if they would do the same thing………

What about Grizz broke down players for Bulls broke down players?
Bulls get: Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Brandan Wright, Vince Carter
Grizzlies get: Jimmy Butler, D Rose, Noah
Ok, that is shuffling some deck chairs on the Titanic!
The Bullies can have fun with the Marc and Pau Show, Mirotic, 55 games of Magic Mike Conley, Taj and Brandan Wright, plus Doug McDermott.
I will let the Grizzlies ride with D. Rose, Lance Stephenson, Jimmy Butler, Zach Randolph, and Jo Noah. Oh man, I REALLY want to see that — good guys to have along with our cheap young guys like Jarrell Martin and JaMychal Green (who isn’t even THAT young), along with old/crazy Matt Barnes and oh yeah, old/crazy Tony Allen.
You Bulls need a 2016 second round pick and a future second round pick to sweeten the deal?
The Grizzlies would look FANTASTIC for about 30 games… then the wheels would fall off. Well, that usually happens EVERY year…

It’s been tough being a Bulls fan this season. A friend of mine who has been around the organization for 3 years now has noticed a significant change in the culture and specifically a change with Jimmy… Jimmy wants to be THE man. He doesn’t want to be 2nd fiddle, doesn’t want to sacrifice touches, he just wants to be that guy. If he stays here, that’s not happening. Him and Hoiberg never got past the callout, regardless of what reports say. If the Bulls want ANYTHING of value, this is the move they need to make. I’m interested to see what we can get back for him.

    Thats a little too much, but Butler is one of the best players in the league and injuries aside, has 5 All Star years ahead of him. Every team would love to have him.
    Only way to get him will be to give up a lot!

If they want packaged picks + young pieces: Orlando, Denver, & Boston can all make compelling offers. Maybe the Lakers put up their pick considering how notoriously impatient their front office is.
If they’re looking for a ready made go-to scorer in return then Philly (Okafor) or SAC (Boogie) are probably the first calls they make.

Would love Butler for Boston. Hate all these small guards, Butler has size and go to ability. Much will depend on where Boston ends up with Brooklyn’s pick. If Boston gets a top 2 (Simmons/Ingram) then I would rather keep it. But if Boston gets 3 or 4, then I would offer that pick, Smart or Bradley, Mavs pick (probably 12) for Butler. Assuming his knee checks out. If Chicago wanted more than that they could keep him.
Getting Butler would also help attract some FAs IMO. Like Durant and/or Horford.
Chicago, might be looking to re-tool with young talent, could end up drafting someone like Jaylen Brown/ B Hield at 3 and someone like Sabonis/Skal at 12 with a very contract friendly tough Guard in Bradley or Smart

Indiana Pacers
Imagine a wing duo of Butler and George! I would honestly be happy with moving Turner in order to try acquire Butler.
Chicago Bulls – They have been having a few issues of late as they are a team kind of floating in the middle, I think you bring in a young guy in Turner who shows great potential as a new age C in the league who has great defensive instincts and could play alongside as well as develop with Mirotic and Portis. This will give the Bulls a nice young front-court to work with and they can go about taking a shot at rebuilding through the draft the following year or 2. I would say it’ll take Indiana’s 1st rounder coming as well as potentially an expiring deal of G.Hill to help facilitate it.
Indiana Pacers – First and foremost like Jeff Teague, Butler is a guy who consistently kills Indiana and it would be nice to have him on the Pacers side. I know the Pacers just spent money on Ellis, but he would make one hell of a 6th man and there is no doubt Butler is an upgrade.
With a core of Butler and George I think Indiana could then attract a talent like Horford to join them. Along with resigning Mahinmi as he has shown great development this season and I would risk bringing Lawson back as he is a pass-first PG who would then have a lot of weapons to choose from. Even if Indiana didn’t get Horford I could see a guy like Solo starting as a small ball 4 or even start J.Hill, still a very good team.
Indiana – C. Mahinmi PF. Horford SF. George SG. Butler PG. Lawson Bench. Ellis, J.Hill, Miles, Solo, Allen.

If Chicago was smart they trade Butler for a lottery in 2016 and a lotto in 2017, 2017s draft is the best ive seen in years.. Land a backup PG and a Wing that can run and shoot and ill be happy with that deal for Jimmy Butler

The Celtics would be a great fit for Butler but would Chicago trade to a Conference rival I wonder?
Do Chicago blow it up – Noah is out of contract this summer, Gasol is pushing 36, D-Rose has his injury issues and is a FA in 2017 so that window may be approaching.
Butler is under a long term deal so would have trade value but if Philly were doing a deal I’d guess Bulls would ask for Okafor or a cast iron top 3-5 pick as a minimum offer. Boston have loads of assets but with smart GM’s on both teams they won’t want to give up too much. Paxton and Forman would want a guaranteed deal for Butler eg a pick that will likely be top 5 this year rather than a possible future high pick and Ainge will not play his strongest hand immediately.
Ideally with star players, teams like to move them to the other Conference. Teams like Denver have a lot of picks due so could put a good package together. Kings offer their pick plus Rudy Gay, NOP have a high pick plus assets outside AD etc.

Why would Chicago trade a home grown talent like Butler now?
But if they are, I’d love to trade Okafor (Only if Embiid is clearly 100% healthy) plus The Lakers and Thunder draft picks for Jimmy Buckets if the Bulls are really willing to part ways…
Not only does Okafor and a few wing prospects help Chicago now(Okafor can play with Gasol or Mirotic long term, fits well with Portis too) but it will certainly help them when moving on from Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah unfortunately…
If Philadelphia can add a Top 2 Pick(Simmons or Ingram) plus trade for Jimmy Butler (via Okafor and that Lakers lottery pick) they’d be in a nice position going forward, Embiid and Saric add depth at PF and C, lets assume they’d add another Free Agent to help push this group into the playoffs, Mike Conley for the Max?
A starting 5 of Conley, Butler, Ingram, Noel and Embiid looks nice on Paper, Saric would be that 6th Man type, Ish Smith, Covington and Holmes can all hit shots off the bench
Get rid of Canaan, Marshall, Thompson, Stauskas and Grant for some veteran role players…
If Butler is on the Block, Okafor and a Lakers lottery pick is a sweet package, Philadelphia could even add The Thunder pick this year and The Nuggets pick next year, they get a Potential Franchise C and Cap Relief, I just dont know if thats a little too much for Jimmy? Naw, I’d pull the trigger on that deal as long as Butler checks out medically…
