Agree. Jrue is a known asset.

Shams reporting our offer was based on Niko + an unprotected 1st. Guessing it was Niko + Solo + 1st for Butler + trash.

Don’t like that leaking.

That’s what we offered, which they obviously didn’t take.
I doubt Niko would feel bad about that. I’m sure he’s aware of how the team feels about him.

I agree. Niko has been very open about how he likes it with the Pels. Would have preferred that he did not read that we were offering him up in a deal. Not sure why we would offer him, leaving very little to spread the court for significant minutes.

Niko and Butler won't ever be on the same team again. Even if Pels would have done the trade without him, he would have left in summer in all likelihood

Interesting. Bad blood between the two? That seems to be a common theme with Butler.

For what he does for the Pels, their aren’t many I’d trade Niko for.

Glad he’s still here and hope he stays long term.

I wonder if this will affect his FA meetings with the Pels.

The # of players I'd trade jrue for is actually a pretty short list. Butler isn't one of them. Especially not jrue and picks.
