I think its simply because Butler isn't that much of an upgrade, nor is it really that much of a catch when you realize, we might've given up the 3rd pick, Crowder, 16th pick, and maybe even more. The media likes to draw out conclusions based on mere speculations. There wasn't really any evidence promoting that Bulls clearly wanted the 3rd pick, Crowder, and the 16th pick. It could've been more, could've been less, but at this point, we'll never really know.
How far would I have gone?
Not that far.
Butler is an excellent two way player, but Jaylen Brown reminds me of Jimmy Butler in so many ways, except Jaylen Brown has more potential, and a better shot mechanic than Butler does.
