    Gordon + Tucker + young player + Sergio lull rights + 1st rnd pick for Butler and possibly a low tier player worthless filler.

    Sign DWade or Crawford/young And then wait for the buyout market for somebody like crowder.

    Paul Knight/Dwade
    Harden Green/Wade
    Butler Enis/Melo
    Melo Chriss/qi
    capela nene/qi

    I saw wade working out with Paul. Feel like he could be a veteran guard. He still has good passing/playmaking abilities. Could play a Jason terry role. Plus Lebron seeing the banana boat without him will be fulfilling.

    Harden top 3 player
    Paul top 15 player
    Butler top 20 player
    Capela top 30 player
    Carmelo top 1000 player

    If you are going to try and compete with the Warriors you have to throw everything you can at them.

    Butler along with Gordon Hayward have always been two of the most overrated players in the league to me (anyone feel the same?). I just don't have a good feeling adding Butler and it's not because of what we would have to give up to get him.

    PJ did not look past his prime last season. Maybe the year has made a difference, but if he repeats his performance last year, we need to keep him. IMO, he was one of the key difference makers in the playoffs.

    The sad part about where we are as a franchise right now is that we are not going to be players for big fish like Butler... we just can’t offer anything that is half as enticing as other teams. Unless a player is coming here in FA well below market value or has a no trade clause and refuses to waive it for anyone but us(tried that with Melo and it still didn’t work), we just aren’t in the market for top end talent, we don’t have the assets.

    I don’t doubt @cyberx “scoop” that Morey is watching the situation and will put an offer on the table but is that really a scoop? Morey is always doing his due diligence and trying to get into a deal. Doesn’t mean we are players in this thing.

    This. There appears to be a new sub-species of instagram/facebook women/girls who all look the same to my old eyes. I can't tell if they all get the same work done or if it just makeup or the posing. In this case, her eyes are not aligned. That being said, she is a heck of a lot better looking than I am....

    His point is that if the T-Wolves are going to trade Jimmy Butler they aren’t going to trade him for two 30 year olds who have never made an All-Star team.

    Another player that Tilman cannot afford to pay and has no assets to trade for.
