Knicks · Minny gets Butler (page 1)

Dunn, Lavine, #7 for Butler...

The market for Rose just got even smaller

Minny stole from Chicago. They even swapped picks. Thibs did a great job

Chicago may take Monk - which is who I wanted off the board - leaving the possibilities of Isaac and Smith Jr.

Smith Jr. would be amazing at 8

his injury history scares me

Assuming that means Rubio stays put?

He's supposed to have extra tendons in his knees (which is rare) that allows him to recover fully from this kind of injury. He's too good a prospect this far down in the draft to pass up IMO at 8, when this team really needs a good, young, explosive, PG.

I've warmed uo on Frank N. anyway.

Seems like frank is the pick

I wanna see Melo to Minnesota.... Butler and Memo are in Paris together.

Lauri and Nikola seems too redundant when you consider neither plays defense. If Lavine can come back fully healthy I think Lavine will be better than Wiggins going forward so at least the Bulls get something but that was an awful trade for the Bulls.

He will never agree to go to Minnesota.

The offseason isnt over .. Thib got Butler 2-way leadership to take the Wolves to the playoffs

Wow, I wonder if Willy and pick 8 would have beaten their offer. I love Willy but Butler would have been our best player at least since Ewing (sorry Jrod). I couldn't pass on having KP and Butler together for the next 6 years. It's a gamble but if the cost of Butler was this low, we needed to beat the offer IMO.
