I am reading that Butler is safe. As for everybody else, not so much.

Bulls aggressively shopping Mirotic. The Clippers might be a landing spot.

Tonnes of rumours floating around right now. Could be a really active trade deadline this year.

Watch them pull Rivers on a max or something from Clips.

When Vlade says he had a better offer two days ago...

is anyone else afraid he means "Jimmy Butler" and his extreme annoyance and "you will have to ask those other guys" refelects that he is fresh off dealing with the circus Garpax and their indecision and overvaluing players and being difficult?

Only reason to not trade Butler is to keep Wade happy to finish out the year...

But

I believe Gar/Pax sitting there thinking why trade anyone, let's regroup and play for a playoff spot..

Whatever they were going to dump for Cousins not named Butler/Wade they should have done.

Got to disagree. I think that Boogie would end up being hated in Chicago. He is a loser. Besides, no Bulls team will ever win anything as long as Reinny is in charge and keeps the three stooges in place.

I'll be appeased if we land Okafor but Pacers going after him.

Supposedly the hold up on Butler to Boston isn't the draft pick but Celtics not willing to give up Crowder...
So
We'll see

Sounds like one of those ask for the moon knowing they won't do it, then you can tell the fans oh well we tried...

If that's true then I suppose I don't even blame them in this case. Why give up Butler for trash? But then again, the Kings did that and the Bulls and Kings are the worst run organizations in the NBA according to reddit lol

Ilyasova to Atlanta.

Man, if you thought the Bulls FO was inept...the Atlanta Hawks have been the definition of mediocrity for a decade.

We at least had Derrick's prime year or two.

Why in a rebuild do you have to trade your best player? I say keep Jimmy and get rid of anybody else. If we're trying to woo a big time free agent it's a lot easier sell to say, "here's another all-star to play with" instead of you'll be the guy a team with a bunch guys with "potential."

I forgot who I was watching that made that point, but they said when the Celtics were rebuilding they refused to get rid of Pierce it and it worked out for them.
