I think I'd like to keep Smart out of any deal for Butler. I'm more willing to include Crowder. Whilst he has come on greatly the last 2 years I think we over value him because of the position he plays. If we had greater depth at the 3 we wouldn't be worrying.
Trading Crowder, BRK 16 and some salary filler (Jerebko?)for Butler would be a nice deal for us. There are some good Small Forwards out there this summer. Obviously Durant would be nice, but there is Barnes, Batum, Parsons and even Jeff Green again (did I just say that?).
say we managed to get Barnes at the max, the pick is No.2, that's
Crowder, Ingram, Jerebko going out
Butler, Barnes coming in
I'd take the latter but I can see the argument for both paths.
