NBA: I predict Blake will be traded for Jimmy Butler this summer

[DMC]

These predictions are pointless. They'll be lost in the shuffle unless they come to fruition at which time they'll be bumped by the OP every time the trade gets mentioned.

[rasuo214]

We're talking about the same front-office that refused to trade Pau b/c they wanted re-sign him along w/ Noah.

Well wanting to re-sign Pau and Noah is just trying to cling onto the hope of contention. Thinking Rose and Blake will be compe ive is a bit delusional unless they get someone else in FA.

[TD 21]

I'd be surprised if they broke up the core. Though somewhat flawed and unlikely to ever win a championship, they're still a perennial top 5 team, with two top 10 players. Their best bet is continuing to go forward with this group and hoping the planets align for them one year, because it's damn near impossible to build a better core.

If they do though, that would be a terrible trade. At least add Mirotic to somewhat even it up. Also, Gasol's days of masquerading as a power forward are over.

Blake/CP3 can opt-out in 2017 so unless they sign an extension the Clippers will be in a limbo.

Duh! That's the reason why I said the COMBO of Pau/DJ = 2010 KG/Perk

VORP: KG (2.4) / Perk (1.2) / Pau (3.5) / DJ (3.5)

Nah, don't work like that.

Nah, don't work like that.

Say the same folks who claimed LMA/Timmay would be no where near ter/Tim('14-'15) on defense.

Paul for Kyrie.
Melo for Love.

[tbdog]

injury prone blake for injury prone butler... how does that benefit bulls?

Fixed it for you. But all seriousness, Bulls have two good PF's, not including Gibson

What? When? Why do you always make up when you have no other comeback? You have issues son.

Why do you make up instead of arguing like a good sport? Real question son, it's not the first time you pull this chicken move.

The same thing applies from their perspective.

I don't argue, I debate w/ FACTS. Arguing is for EMO es.

And making up when you don't have any other answer is for what kind of people?

Don't know what VORPs means but neat way of avoiding answering the question for like the third time.
