    Also killed the value Indy could get for him in return. i think he did it to possibly get LA involved early to keep him away from other teams (Cavs/Celtics).

    Think he kinda screwed the Pacers on his way out the door. There was a time where the Pacers could have gotten a ton for him, probably from the Celtics. Now its either the Cavs giving up Love and making them a treadmill team or the Lakers giving up pennies on the dollar for him. Could still involve a 3rd team that gives up a top 10 pick and that goes to the Pacers, but even then I'm not sure what team picking in there would want Love. Maybe going back to the Wolves would be good idk.

    Chris Mannix from The Vertical said Boston isn't even the most aggressive team in the market for Butler.

    Usually you trade or sign for stars to play with a young 2 way star on a great contract, but hey GarPax gonna GarPax.

    I think he'd be really helpful for a team like the Jazz or Twolves out of the teams listed here, he could help push em to that next level potentially. Good locker room guy, smart veteran player, good defensively, big game experience, etc.

    im pretty sure they were planning on trading him anways though lol, and the fact that he said he wanted to go to LA just f----- it over so they cant really get anything of value from him in return considering h--- just be a rental

    Don't think the Celtics have any intention of bringing back any of Amir, Zeller, Jarebko, Mickey or Olynyk. Bring in this guy, Zizic, Yabusele and possibly Blake to go along with Horford.

    Rumors that if a PG to CLE deal is to take place, Sixers might get in as a 3rd team. Hope it's just a rumor though, don't really see the need.

    The 3rd team in the deal would be the team giving up picks/young players (to the Pacers) for Love. I don't see the Sixers doing that.

    I don't see how that works. The Paul George trade would have worked because he was a rental and wouldn't have cost as much. I would think the Bulls are looking for picks. Even if their was a third team acquiring Love I don't think they would be giving up a package to the Bulls that would be good enough. The Bulls would probably be able to get a better package just trading Jimmy straight up to another team.

    I mean they can pick up the phone and ask but I don't see how this gets done? No way Bulls flip JB for K Love. Cavs basically have to pray another team is in love with Love and decides to give a bunch of assets to Chicago in return. Not happening but A for effort I guess.

    I'm also very confused why this man is on the trade block??? f---

    Really? hes like the only guy on the team who has any trade value. I would have thought most Bulls fans would have been sick of the last 2 years and be ready to start the rebuild.

    Holy s---. Cavs are parting ways with GM David Griffin. Apparently sides "just couldn't agree" on future.

    s-----y timing for this to happen lol. Chauncey Billups is expected to be a frontrunner to get the position.
