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.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
