Trade Idea: Batum for Butler

[rico6]

Id do that plus our 1st in a heartbeat.

Celtics have multiple high first round picks and solid young prospects like Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown, not to mention overseas talent in Yabusele and Zizic.

Not totally sure on this but Batum makes more money than Butler doesnt he?

Jesus this management is lost.

Blame the CBA not team management. Batum was getting the max regardless of where he signed. We should count our selves lucky he chose to stay in Charlotte.

Chicago looking for a godfather type deal. Would have to package MKG and probably 2 1st, including Batum

This. Batum for Butler straight up would get you laughed off the phone...even with Gar/Pax running the show.

Boston might offer the Brooklyn pick this year (High High chance it's a top three overall pick) plus a player for Butler. Sorry but we dont' have the assets  they do

Why?? So we can pay superstar price to a role player at best?

Yes, well old superstar price. Superstars can get contracts up to 200 million now if they stay with their current team. (Cousins could have got 200 from sac but can only get 180 for the Pelicans)

Not really sure why you are questioning this unless you missed the past off season in the NBA. We should just be lucky we signed Kemba before the contract spikes, same with Golden state. Kemba and Curry are making like 12 million per and when they hit the market are going to get 150 million plus easily. Look at Mike Conley's contract. 

The NBA is getting into MLB territory.
