Celtics leaking this rumor to counter the Timberwolves rumor earlier?

How dare you Kris Dunn. We will remember this...

If Red asks you to step onto the parquetry, you you damwell graciously accept. Little snot.

I like Butler and think he's a nice fit next to IT....my only hesitation is the cost.

My guess is if we get Butler we are going all out for KD.

So Minnesota, Chicago, and Philadelphia like Dunn a lot. Have to think SAC would too if they had a clue. Has anyone heard anything about teams wanting Bender, Brown, Chriss, Hield, or Murray enough to trade to get them? I haven't.

Dunn's the BPA in terms of having both a high floor and ceiling. We should either be taking him or trading the pick.

I have no idea how he averaged almost 17 points a game this year.  The team does not use him in any capacity.  The fact that he did average almost 17 ppg on a team that pretends he's not on the court leads me to believe that Love is still a very capable player. 

I just watched Lebron and Irving play hero ball for 48 minutes.  Love needs to get the heck out of there or he will waste his whole career.  I think under Brad's coaching Love is a top 10 player in this league.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls wanted Bender to go with Rose. If they wanted Dunn, maybe Rose gets dealt too.

C's trade Smart/Amir/#3/couple 2nd rounders for Butler.

Butler has a trade kicker that starts in July, so Draft night would be the time to deal him.

I fully agree, but, in all fairness, Love did sign that long term deal to stay in Cleveland after playing a full season with those guys, so he is partly to blame for being wasted. He took the money over a better role for himself.

Rose is cooked. Apparently the Bulls want to move Butler though because he's become a sort of prima donna with locker room issues.

I actually think the TWolves rumor was a smokescreen aimed at the Cs. Basically saying, we have other teams with high picks who want Jimmy. You need to get serious if you want him.

Hmm, so three teams who know what they're doing when it comes to the draft want him?  Good enough for me, lol ;D. Take him.  I'm Dunn ;) ;D with our guards, anyway.

Makes sense that Chicago would want to leak the Wiggins/5 rumor if they were negotiating with Ainge.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
I don't think Thibadeu wants anything to do with the Bulls front office.

I'd say the Bulls leaked this to pump up a Celtics offer.

I can't imagine why not. He's an all star shooting guard, is tall and long enough to cover 3s, quick enough to cover point guards, and has a good contract relative to the new cap. Oh and he can shoot, drive, handle the ball and gets to the line. Do you not like his hair or something?

Count me in for #3 and Avery. I'm not moving Crowder, he's too valuable to our team and his contract is ridiculous over the next 4 years.

Also no way Wiggins is involved. That is just nonsense.
