Trade Idea: Batum for Butler

It's being rumored on RGM that the Bulls and Celtics are discussing a trade for Jimmy Butler.  I can't really think of any pieces the Celtics can offer that move the needle anymore than Batum does.

And while I love Batum and I know he loves it here, it just so happens that we could swap Batum for Butler straight up.  And it just so happens, Batum isn't having all that great of a year.  Perhaps a shake up for both teams and players would do them good.  And as an aside, according to ESPN's trade machine, we would be projected +9 wins in the deal.

Obviously Batum isn't THE problem here.  He is a really good player, but he is having a tough year and I don't think he is part of the long-term solution without other pieces we can't really get without hitting on draft picks.

Yeah, I would figure we would have to throw in a 1st or two, but just thought i would throw it out there...  I also find it weird that all is quiet on the hornets front as far as rumors go, when you would think we would be among the more active teams considering how the season is going so far.

The fuging Kings just traded Cousins for Buddy fuging Hield and a 1st rounder

 

We couldn't do anything close to that?

EDIT: They threw in Tyreke Evans too but...c'mon

Once i saw the deal, i was disappointed.  I dont think boogie would be great here, but at this point I want any move that gives me hope for the future...  and seeing what he was traded for, my first thought was, "we couldn't have traded for him?"

That is possibly the worst value for a superstar trade I have seen in a long time.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
