    David Aldridge said we have a shot at anyone we want with all these picks....

    Jimmy Butler
    Paul George
    Paul Milsap (too old)
    Hassan Whiteside

    Who am I missing?

    PG13 is a FA in '18. I'll take Butler for Crabbe and 3 firsts

    Can we trade all 3? I thought we were without a #1 last year too.

    I would take any of them except Millsap. He should not even be in the same discussions as those other 3

    Yes. It resets after the draft. As long as we have a 2018 1st, we could trade all 3 17

    If George and/or Butler are truly available, this is the moment Olshey has been waiting for. This is the needle mover. Both are superstars. Both are in the ideal age range. We have three first round picks in one of the deeper classes in years. Offer them all up with Harkless or Crabbe and let's go.

    I'd rather have George if the contracts were equal, but with the team control for an extra two years I'd go with Butler.

    I agree butler is preferable for that reason,buttttt i have no doubts that lillard and cj would convince him to stick around after playing with them.

    I think PG13 is better, all things being equal. And he's a year younger.

    I like him more too. But that gruesome leg injury has me a little scared.... especially with our history of injuries.

    I agree, but I feel more comfortable with butler because of the contract situation.

    Butler is a better defender than PG13 and has an extra year on his deal. If the Bulls are taking calls, NO needs to go hard.

    I'll be dissapointed if we don't get George or Butler.
