re: What can we give up and still improve for Jimmy Butler?

AD/Jrue/Mirotic/Randle

If a Butler to Pels deal was realistic, I don't think you could expect to hold on to both Mirotic and Randle, especially since both can be FAs after this year.

If you know you could sign him to an extension, or re-sign him this summer, Etwaun + Randle + 1st seems like a good starting point.

Edit: Forgot that Randle isn't eligible to be traded now. Niko would be the substitute in that hypothetical, but I would really hesitate to include him, along with Moore. Niko and AD were such a good pairing last year, and should get better with an offseason of work.
