Mr. Mambold: Feb 13, 2011; Aha. Nice post.

Okay is this trade concomitant on IT passing a physical? Because it looks good for Cleveland, and Boston are going to have a hard 1st half if only because they're going with an almost entirely new roster from scratch....but a very talented roster. I see them jelling in the last 20 games of the season and then who knows?

When you get a chance to lock down Kris Dunn you don't wait to shop around your all Star wing.

Kyrie Irving does not get last year's Bulls team to the playoffs

Maybe Irving still has room left to grow, and maybe Butler peaked last year, but yeah

edit: there's also the small matter that the Celtics package, if you remove IT, is still probably better than what the Bulls got for Irving

To everyone saying "Cleveland should have gotten Butler" I don't think Kyrie made his trade demand until after the draft. Unless Minnesota was trading Jimmy Cleveland didn't have a shot.

Although maybe Chicago should have shopped Butler around a little more...

That's the rookie max now. It's no different %wise than it's been. Get used to the bigger caps.

He does naet deserve it, maybe the Tim Hardaway Jr contract, that's fair for Wiggins

There would be several teams that would offer the rookie max for Wiggins. The ability to create offense is really valuable in the NBA, and i don't think the Wolves would be willing to let him walk away for nothing as another team offered him that contract during RFA. It's a pretty easy contract given the situation, despite the dumb opinions from 538.

The version of Kyrie that is better than Butler doesn't show up enough for him to actually be better than Butler IMO. I think that is why Kyrie is so overrated, people think of the clutch 3 and ridiculous contested shot games and not all those times where he has a low impact game while playing poor defense and Cleveland wins anyway because Lebron.

Also Kyrie is a member of that weird Bieber church.

Kyrie might be a better than Butler next to Lebron though. LeBron is definitely the best guy in the league for Kyrie to play next to though. I guess Hayward is kinda mini LeBron.....
