Knicks need to trade a 1st round pick for a pair of knees.

Get it done Riley!
Fucking Pat Riley.
Would have to include Justise and/or maybe a Whiteside S&T right?
Edit: I don't see that Tweet on his account.

whoa...what's going on in Chicago? Isn't Butler the one piece that you can build around on that team?

they maybe don't trust his knees. He reminds me of Westbrook in that he plays balls to the wall but might not have a long shelf life.
check his twitter next time before sending nbagaf into a frenzy

I'm surprised that Bulls want to trade Butler that much. Isn't he the best player in the team currently?
Oh that's fake.
Oh that's fake.
I didn't even bother looking lol

This will end well for the Knicks.
I see. could be a good get. So the rumor now is him AND Dwight to NY? Saw a lot of chatter about Dwight to NY
haha could u just imagine of Noah and Lebron played together? The drama

Noah to the timberpups. KG and Noah mentoring KAT would be hilarious.
The bulls are a treadmill team bro, you saw what happened when the Sixers tried to leave. Theyre gonna sign Jeremy Lin or something and try to get the 8th seed again
I lean Murray at this point but wouldn't be upset with Bender or Hield, could trust them on Chriss. Dunn would necessitate a trade but I think he has star potential and the most value. The guy that I don't want is Jaylon Brown.
All reports are that they've moved off of Hield though.

It's actually a decent deal for the Knicks though. Rose is pretty much cap filler but they ditch Lopez' contract and if they are smart can now play KP at the 5 full time.
every player available has great upside and pretty big red flags, i don't really have a preference at this point.
it's a crapshoot, i just want to get to the draft already so i can download a new 2k roster and lead the Cs to 18.

The Dragan.
I'd be pretty happy with Hield. Think I'll be ok with any of the few they are considering though.
Dunn at this point. Lowest chance to bust. He can defend right now. Highest ceiling of the guards. I want a trade.
Wow, pretty much everyone had a different answer.
What reports?
Are you interested in Okafor/Noel for #3? Sixers fan here, curious to hear what C's fans think.

That guy sounds like Kelly Olynyk 2.0 to me. Finesse big that can't rebound or defend the paint.
You want another guard that can't shoot? And what's his "ceiling" exactly?
I just haven't heard them linked to him in a bit through mocks. It was in a podcast with either the SI guys or Givony from DraftExpress where they'd be surprised by a Hield pick.
Noone really knows though.
I'm way more interested in it for Okafor than Noel, although at this point straight for #3 might be too much. Sixers have devalued those big men a bit.
Kelly Olynyk is a good NBA player. You'd want more out of Bender, but he has the chance to be a much better shot creator, blocker, and finisher than Olynyk.
I think Dunn's ceiling is pretty damn high (not as high as Murray's), though he's one of the oldest players in the draft. I see some Dwyane Wade in his game, and his measurables are great. He's not a great shooter but he's not terrible either. Unfortunately, he's the worst fit for the Celtics roster without a trade.
John Wallish. Not an efficient scorer but a good floor general and defender. I worry that Hield and Murray won't be able to get their shots offfl in the NBA and will struggle to create shots. I really don't like anyone. I think there is more value in the draft with all the bigs 10-30ish.
As far as fit let ET go and have Dunn Run the second unit. Sorry Rozier. IT is not a PG and might be gone in two years too.

Thats a lot of work to keep Al Horford of all people.
This seems unnecessary.

I'd be interested in trading the 3 for one of those guys but now that Teague is off the table I think Ainge is going to push for more out of a team that wants to pick up Dunn.
Noel for #3 when Lyle!
