Trade Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors: Updated June 19

The Boston Celtics are reportedly attempting to stockpile first-round picks in the 2017 NBA draft in an effort to land Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler.

Adam Zagoria‏ of ZagsBlog provided details of the Celtics' potential plans Friday.

Marc Stein and Zach Lowe of ESPN.com previously reported Boston was engaged in "serious talks" with the Philadelphia 76ers about trading down from the No. 1 selection. The Sixers own the third overall pick and four choices in the second round, starting at No. 36.

The Celtics were previously linked to Butler leading up to the trade deadline.

I like what Tom Moore wrote. If this traded is done, July 1 Bst can absorb his salary. Frees up money for us.

We get 3 assets. Okafor #3, and 2018 bk pick. Plus we still have #16, #38, and our #1 next year. #1 could be top 5 or top 10.

I still have my doubts that Bulls trade Butler. I can see a 76ers-Celtics trade. But I don't know how the Bulls will be involved. Butler for #3 and Okafor? No.

So what's up next? Another Celtics deal with the Bulls as possible trading partner?

 

2018 Lakers pick or 2018 Brooklyn pick from Celtics? And Okafor isn't a Celtic.
