The deal is still on. Should go pretty quickly, the terms are largely worked out already. As far as I know the deal is still the 32nd for Butler.



See, it's hard to swallow looking at it this way. But if we had just traded Butler for Cooks and the 4th->3rd in the first place, it wouldn't look bad at all. Now that we've been sitting here with 32 for so long, it really feels like it's valuable.

In reality, Butler is a far more valuable chess piece for us than Cooks. So a near 1:1 swap is a damn good value for us.

I'm sure I'm not the only 1 who thinks this has all been set up since the Cooks trade (as part of said trade) and we've just been waiting for Butler to do his part

ETA: pick 32 was never going to NOLA... it was just filler to consummate the Cooks trade until the Butler trade could be finalized.
