    Don’t see Butler in a Blazers uniform, for a lot of reasons. If he stays healthy, he will opt out of the last year of his contract and want a 5 year $200 million contract. Not sure we can afford him long term.

    The Bulls are a mess. Their front office has caused a lot of the problems, They maybe ready to shake up their roster. I believe the Bulls are looking for first round picks.

    I wonder if NO could make a deal for ROLO. ROLO has a couple of seasons left on his contract and would be a good fit sharing minutes with Nurkic.

    #20 & Leonard or Turner for ROLO.

    You want to give up a pick for Rolo?

    I'm good...

    Considering the price tag of those guys my top choice would be Otto Porter.

    For the sake of conversation:

    CJ/Butler > Dame/Butler

    Umm Nurkic. That was the best trade in the NBA this season.

    My opinion.

    The Bulls will trade Jimmy this summer. They are saying all of the right things now so Gms wont offer a bag of chips or two bags of chips.

    They will not, I repeat will not pay Jimmy $40 mill a year for 5 years. He has two years left.

    The FO will not get outstanding offers that many Bulls think they should get. They won't

    So who could make offers? LAL, Philly(Okafor and one pick to go along with all of the nice players they have)...you bet they would. And may Minny. I can see Dunn and #6 and maybe a future protected first. Bulls fans talk pick and wiggens, that is not happening. Some say pick and lavine. Nope. He may offer Rubio, but we already have a pg that cannot shoot in Rondo.

    Jimmy is a fine, fine player at both ends of the court. His shooting % in threes and from the field is not that impressive.

    Chicago is a big market town that has been ran like a small market team for years

    Another reason why I think he will be traded is the FO. I truly believe the modern game has passed them by. They are not able to build a team around Jimmy.

    I like Harkless and Leonard. The FO may bite on that. But don't take my word for it

    They'd only do it if they could parlay those picks into a very early pick. So they can take this year's Tyrus Thomas.

    They'll get PG and Butler on the same team by trading Wade to Indiana.
