Friend of mine cousin works for Nola.com, and his boss told him to start developing stories regarding an Asik, Reke, and 1st round pick for Jimmy Butler trade. A source within the team told his boss that AD really wants Butler, and believes he will be a key 4th piece for the team.

He claims his boss told him the bulls want a first for the 2017 draft and then another future first, but the pels don't want to give up 2 first round picks.

They can take Jimmy butler and his shitty attitude and go frick themselves. They can have Reke asik and the ghost of Qpon.

Even the worst of GM's would trade Asik (terrible contract, never plays), Reke (solid player, expiring) and two 1st rounders for Butler. The ghost of David Stern could guarantee that the 2017 draft pick would be the #1 pick of the draft and it would still be easily worth it. The future first rounder (in two years) would have little value coming from a team with Jrue/Butler/AD.

I mean we can't do more than two in a row but I'd trade the fricking farm for Butler. Anyone not named AD is available.

They're literally trying to use this to get a better deal out of Boston to get Boston to agree to two players and a pick.

Yeah, the most unbelievable part of the story isn't Jimmy on the cheap, or Jimmy being the "4th" piece on this team, but the TP with a scoop.

So is the 3rd piece Buddy?

Good Lord, if the Bulls have a stud two way wing on a good contract that they don't want to keep and the betst they can get is Reke and a late lottery pick while taking back Asik, then Butler must have some serious baggage.

If the Pels have a core of Holiday, Butler, Davis, and Hield those won't be great 1st round picks anyways. You should also be able to make small moves for depth at that point.

Someone is playing you. Heck, the Pelicans would probably trade Asik and Evans for the Bulls' trash just to get rid of Asik. There is clearly no way on earth, they could get Butler by adding the 1st to those two.

heres the Bulls conspiracy theory, per reddit

quote:

Holy shite. Please tell me someone is watching Mike and Mike on ESPN. Ryen Russillo* basically came on the show and said that Jimmy Butler and the Bulls FO are at odds and thats why there are so many Jimmy to Celtics rumors. Russillo* said basically that before Jimmy was a restricted free agent after his 3rd year he was averaging 13 ppg and the bulls FO offered him a 4 yr/44 mil extension to which Jimmy declined. The Bulls FO then told him that'd they'd start TONY SNELL over him and give SNELL jimmy's minutes and give Jimmy the minutes Snell got off the bench to hurt his numbers and crash his value in the upcoming free agency. Thibs caught wind of this and basically said "frick that, I'm starting Jimmy" and Jimmy averaged 20ppg and got cashed out. This is why Jimmy and Thibs are so close, because Thibs had his back and this is also supposedly one of the reasons why Thibs and the FO had issues. So now Jimmy has this distrust for the Bulls FO and also distrusts Fred Hoiberg* because Jimmy sees Fred as an extension of the FO. And then Wade came over and Jimmy basically told Wade everything that happened and wade sympathized with him because of all the frick shite he dealt with in MIA which adds to why Jimmy and Wade are so close
Also Russillo* said he trusts this source that told him all that very much
Edit: spelling errors and shite
Edit2: ayyy my first time getting gold, thanks stranger!! And also when i say Thibs caught wind of this, i mean that he was told to play snell over jimmy and he said "frick that"(more or less)
Edit3: people keep asking why wade would come to this kind of dtysfunctionalality, i can give you 47 million reasons why. Also Jimmy told him about all this after he got there from what Ryen made it sound like

Breaking News: every team in league interested in Jimmy Butler. Bulls will take trash plus pick for top 10 player.

Good times.

Every team in the NBA is interested in him.
Reke/Asik and a first is about enough to get Stephon Marbury. I think he might still be under contract with the Knicks.
I'm not even going to make up some scenario where we make a trade for Butler. We do no have the assets to do so, unless we were trading AD. there is literally nothing we could offer outside of AD that would be close to what they are looking for.

at a minimum, I would think it would cost us Buddy/Holiday and our first...which I am fine with if it gets us Butler.
