Well, if MKG only maintains his play over 36 minutes a game next season he'll average:
12.5 points on 45.8% shooting, with a 74.9 FT%, , 8.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steal, 1.2 blocks, and just 1.8 TOs.
Everyone is raving about Jimmy Butler, but durability and defense aside, his production is hardly jaw dropping. Here are his per 36 #s
11.9 points on 46.7% shooting, with a 80.3 FT%, 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.5 blocks, and just 0.8 TOs.
Jimmy drills the three ball but he's also three years older, and had the benefit of playing under the best defensive mind in the NBA, and on a top-5 team.
Throw Andersen and Sessions into the deal and I can talk myself into the return.

This. It was hard to part with Butler but I saw equal enough future potential considering MKG developing on a bad team while Butler did it on a playoff team missing their superstar. And yes once I could get my targeted back up pg and C in the deal, it was a no brainer. Thanks for the feedback.
