Trade Idea: Batum for Butler


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

It's being rumored on RGM that the Bulls and Celtics are discussing a trade for Jimmy Butler.  I can't really think of any pieces the Celtics can offer that move the needle anymore than Batum does.

And while I love Batum and I know he loves it here, it just so happens that we could swap Batum for Butler straight up.  And it just so happens, Batum isn't having all that great of a year.  Perhaps a shake up for both teams and players would do them good.  And as an aside, according to ESPN's trade machine, we would be projected +9 wins in the deal.

Obviously Batum isn't THE problem here.  He is a really good player, but he is having a tough year and I don't think he is part of the long-term solution without other pieces we can't really get without hitting on draft picks.

Yeah, I would figure we would have to throw in a 1st or two, but just thought i would throw it out there...  I also find it weird that all is quiet on the hornets front as far as rumors go, when you would think we would be among the more active teams considering how the season is going so far.

The fuging Kings just traded Cousins for Buddy fuging Hield and a 1st rounder

 

We couldn't do anything close to that?

EDIT: They threw in Tyreke Evans too but...c'mon

Once i saw the deal, i was disappointed.  I dont think boogie would be great here, but at this point I want any move that gives me hope for the future...  and seeing what he was traded for, my first thought was, "we couldn't have traded for him?"

That is possibly the worst value for a superstar trade I have seen in a long time.
