 Per Frank Isola, Orlando is looking at potentially acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Bulls.  It sounds like the Bulls are about to go into full rebuild mode and Orlando does have some nice assets.  Here are potential trades that would work on making Bulter a member of the Magic.

Scenario #1

Orlando sends Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic, the #13 & #41 pick to the Bulls

Chicago sends Jimmy Butler to the Magic

Scenario #2

Orlando sends Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon or Mario Hezonja to the Bulls.

Chicago sends Jimmy Butler and Tony Snell to the Magic.

Scenario #3

Orlando sends Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, Mario Hezonja and the #13 pick to the Bulls.

Chicago sends Jimmy Butler and #48 pick to the Magic.

 

Again these scanarios are pure speculation on my part.  For those of you who know, Oladipo and Jerian Grant are best friends from their days playing together in high school with Grant even sharing a story about how he used Oladipo to help him pick up girls http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2015/11/jerian-grant-explains-how-he-used-oladipo-to-get-girls-video/

This relationship and both being familar how the other plays would lend itself well along with the other young pieces and picks Orlando would have to offer in the trade.  Bulter along with a potential free agent like Al Horford would help Orlando become a little more interesting.

Regardless of what happens, I think we will remember this 2016 draft for being the draft of trades; I’m expecting a lot of them.

Wow.. I could see the trade happening if they keep Oladipo and Vucevic but giving up the core of your team? Seems odd to me. Butler is in "win now" mode and by giving up your 2 best players, you arent winning now..

 Wow that’s shocking. I wouldn’t think the Bulls would be willing to let Butler go. If this happens I think the Bulls will regret it.
