After digging a little more it looks like you can find it in list form but not on the player pages themselves. Good enough.

They've been pushing the Tatum thing for like a week now so it's not much chaos. Jackson letting them know that he doesn't want to be drafted by them had its effect

Yeah right after the trade happened you started seeing a bunch of "Tatum is Paul Pierce 2.0" stuff popping up and they got a lot of the fans already bought in on it big time.

Which has what to do with Philadelgia? There was never any indication that he/Philly tried to initiate a trade the #3 for him.

It has to do with euphronius' statement, which I was responding to.

The fact that Philly, LA, or Boston hasn't pulled the trigger on Butler, if the report is true that all the Bulls want is a top three pick, seems crazy. Dude's under contract for 3 more years and is an actual all-star. Banking on an unknown because they might be better than someone who is already better than 99 percent of the league is bonkers.

I guess it wasn't a medical retirement (not sure why it wasn't) but apparently an agreement was made and the Wolves get some of the cap back.

His third year is a player option and there is no way he doesn't opt out and I probably wouldn't want to give up the #3 pick if he didn't give any indication in wanting to stay here after he opts out.

You said almost the same thing yesterday out of the blue.

There was never any serious indication that Philly was interested or able to trade the #3 for Butler. I'm not sure being able to acquire the best guard prospect in the draft since DRose is "retarded", especially considering that they were able to put solid protections on the Lakers pick and didn't have to move any other core players.

Especially since the sixers in hindsight had an relatively easy moveup to 1

Solid protections? It's only #1 protected right? That and the back-end protections for Boston's sake.

Lakers is #1 protected and the 2019 kings / sixers mashup is also #1 protected

What I meant by relatively easy was the celtics were interested in moving to 3 immediately after the lottery

It was going to happen
