2017 NBA Off-Season

Trading Kyrie for Butler makes no sense for either side.

are you kidding? that's a steal for chicago

 

[Giantmetfan07]

This hasnt been his best stint, im not arguing that, but doesnt help when the face of the franchise is absolute garbage and wont get his ass out of there

What are you talking about? Phil is awful. Gave Melo a NTC, hgae Noah a ridiculous contract, brought in Rose, hired a coach with no coaching experience in Fisher, refuses to ditch the triangle, and then proceeded to bash Melo all season.

 

[Delirium]

It's a shame that championships aren't decided by the Finals anymore. Or any game. They're decided by who can build the most unfair ridiculous team in the offseason.

The Bulls don't get any better by adding Irving, and they probably wouldn't be terrible enough to properly initiate a rebuild.
 
The only way that makes sense for Chicago is if they then flip Kyrie for more assets.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Why speak highly of a bum?

because you're trying to get value in return for him?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And yeah put me in the camp that thinks trading Kyrie for Butler doesn't help Cleveland at all

 

[Hurricane Season]

They'd definitely be better on defense tho

 

[Delirium]

Cleveland should get Brian Scalabrine to unretire. But they're not worthy of that.

 

[elcheato]

Kyrie has consistently been able to get his against Golden State, it would be so ill-asvised to dump him. Not to mention, he's the guy we can build around if LeBron leaves, or just starts to decline

 

[Mexi]

My guess is griffin wanted to trade kyrie and gilbert doesn't

 

[Hurricane Season]

I've read that it was the opposite.

 

[Hurricane Season]

well, not necessarily the opposite, but that Griffin viewed Kyrie as untouchable.

 

[Mexi]

Yeah but was it amico

They'd definitely be better on defense tho

Are they though?

In 2K they'd be better on defense, but you have to think of both ends of the floor. Lebron can play the point on offense, but he can NOT play point guard defensively at this point. And Butler cannot really either -- maybe in spurts occasionally but not 98 times a year. And you'd be a fool to not be hiding JR Smith on defense

You trade Kyrie for Butler, and now you have to start someone to be the point guard defender. On the current roster, that's either Shumpert or Felder...

Cavs will be better with Butler if they move Love, not Kyrie

Oh my

 

[Hurricane Season]

I mean, Kyrie can't defend anybody... Having two good perimeter defenders is better than one.

 

[Mexi]

Im sure chicago would throw in cam payne lol

 

[Hurricane Season]

I'd trade Jimmy Butler just to get Payne off the team.
 
I'd even throw in a few firsts.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Is Kris Dunn a lost cause?
 
Dunn + Lavine + 7 for Butler + 16
 
Take Monk at 7
 
IDK if the pick swap is necessary
