Jimmy Butler was, until 2 weeks ago (coming back from his injury), the #11 scorer in the NBA. He is currently the #16 scorer in the NBA.
He is also a top 10 defender in the NBA.
To me, that's a top 10 player.
Our team is based on players that can switch and guard multiple positions.
He can guard Lebron or Klay Thompson, and he can even guard Curry for spurts.
He'll also score 20 points.
Perfect fit for this team IMO.
Those saying 'he'll take the ball out of IT's hands', well yeah he will, as will any other All Star player we get on this team- because IT isn't winning a championship for us with 30% usage.
The reason Chicago would trade him is because Butler is 28 years old and if they want to rebuild from the ground up with Hoiberg, Butler will get them the most return from draft picks/young assets.
Go to the Bulls forum on RealGM and see the thread about this to get a better understanding.
