if the current reports are true, would u rather trade Ki for Kat or trade for Butler?
if we don’t we could risk losing KI teaming up with JB on Knicks

A league source close to the situation told the Sun-Times on Tuesday that Kyrie Irving and former Bulls All-Star Jimmy Butler are still trying to figure out a way to play together. Whether that means the Celtics try and acquire Butler this summer or the two simply wait a year, both opt out of their player options after the season, and join forces that way.

Either way, the two former Team USA Basketball teammates are looking for a destination to build an elite backcourt, whether that’s in Celtics green or elsewhere in the East.

Irving has already said he won’t be signing a contract extension this summer. As for Butler, a league source said that he also has no intentions of signing an extension with Minnesota, all but fed up with the nonchalant attitude of his younger teammates, specifically Karl-Anthony Towns.

We don't need to trade for jaylen brown we already have him

If you mean Butler, brown is better. If you mean we have to change our roster because the Sun Times thinks they have an inside scoop,i don't see It happening

I'm highly skeptical.

Possible, but highly unlikely Kyrie leaves the situation he'll have in Boston to go into a much more uncertain environment, like with whatever is going on in NY at that time.

This sounds like it's coming from Butlers end and unhappiness

According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Butler is "all but fed up with the nonchalant attitude of his younger teammates," specifically center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Can we not make this a Kyrie/Celtics issues? Matter of fact, can we just cut the crap and Philly sends Minnesota it's Kawhi Leonard consolation trade package in exchange for Jimmy?

Yup. Plus this sounds like its coming from Butler's camp.

Similar to the leaks from "around the league" that the C's would "prefer" to trade Kyrie for Kawhi I assume these are coming from 3rd parties who'd like to see Kyrie change teams as a FA.

I do think that we shouldn't take Kyrie signing for granted as an organization, but I think the C's rightfully feel pretty good about it.

Kyrie to Minny or Butler to the Celts

Any thoughts as to what we would want from Minny or they from us?

yea we'll see how much Kyrie wants to leave when we are steamrolling through the east. The season can't get here soon enough.

The only think I would want from Minny is KAT

This Irving to Minnesota thing has been talked about before. I could see that deal happening a lot more than Butler coming to the C's.

I'd actually do the Kat for Irving deal after what just happened with Warriors. No one is winning against that team for a while so stock up on young growing stars.
