    Ithink the reason why we are against it is it would leave us leader less with a potential dysfunctional lineup. Why is Chi shopping Butler:? He isn't getting along with Dwade or something?

    There are other factors than simply stats or game play.

    Jimmy Butler is not a better basketball player than Damian Lillard.

    I gave you a like, because. But with Butlers D, I think its VERY debatable

    I disagree with the notion that we'd be "leaderless", since we'd have CJ, whom I feel is also a natural leader. And we already have a somewhat dysfunctional lineup, which I think would be more effective, better balanced, and better defensively with Butler/Rolo.

    But hey, it would never happen--because even though I'd be willing to trade Dame, there's no way Neil would--so it really doesn't matter.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'd replace Olshey with PtldPlatypus as GM if he could force Chicago to make that deal.

    Sure--I'll meet you in the kitchen section of the Mall 205 Bed Bath and Beyond at 4:30. Select two utensils and get ready to rumble.

    Not really even debatable. I'd take Butler 10 out of 10 times.
    Dame's good, but he only plays one side of the floor.

    That is a good question. My guess is because he will be 32 in a few weeks and his ability has slipped. The few times I have watched Atlanta this year I felt like Millsap was not playing with as much hustle. And he thrived on hustle plays. Has his age caught up with him? He still is putting up 15-20 shots a game. Doubtful he would get those shots here. I would trade a player for him, but I would hate wasting our draft picks on him. Those need to be saved for someone like Butler, or to actually keep and hope to get lucky in the draft. But not for a 32 year old.

    For
    Millsap.

    That's probably the most I'd give, unless we dumped Crabbe instead

    Jeez - you really love massively overpaying for players. I swear, every single time I look at one of your trade suggestions I just shake my head.

    Make that lottery protected and Atlanta probably does it.

    But Denver can probably put together a better package. I know Toronto can't. Sac doesn't even have picks to trade if I'm not mistaken.

    I thought it was a balanced offer, if anything we should be adding more to it, not less. Millsap might be a rental, but someone will pay up
