Ganon ba kagaling talaga si butler? Hindi ko siya nasusubaybayan. Laking bagay ba if inadd siya ng celtics? I mean kaya ba niya magbuhat ng team?

I think Butler is one of the best two way players in the game. If we're talking about Small Forwards, he's probably top 5 right now. With Lebron at 1, KD at 2, Kawhi at 3, Paul George at 4, and Butler at 5.

Would I put my money on him to lead a franchise? Probably not. But as the second guy in a championship contender, he fits perfectly.

If Cleveland somehow gets him, this really improves their chances of matching up with the Dubs. If the Celtics get him, this doesn't do anything for them in terms of competing with the Cavs.

about the top 5 SF in the league.. imo si gordon hayward dapat ang nasa top 5.. and jimmy is a natural SG.. naadjust lang sa "sf" because madalas naglalaro ang Bulls with 3 guards on the floor.. ok si jimmy.. kaso medyo inconsistent din.. one night he plays like a superstar then the following night he plays so-so.. but i believe he can help IT.. just accept he's gonna be robin and si IT ang batman..

sa Cavs naman I hope they make a move kay myles turner.. i believe they have to unload some of their big contracts.. the problem is sino kaya kakagat sa mga overpaid players nila..

The Los Angeles Lakers are trading D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and the 27th overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. The cap-clearing deal for Los Angeles, which sets the team up for a run at at least one max free agent next summer, was first reported by The Vertical. ESPN.com

Reports: Hawks agree to trade dwight howard to hornets for miles plumlee and marco belinelli

mas interesting ang offseason kesa sa nba playoffs.

Korek..Wow, the trade floodgates have opened...Now the Clippers are also looking for a potential De Andre deals...And all of a sudden, seems every team wants Jimmy Butler

Wed Jun 21, 2017 8:03 pm

I hope Jayson Tatum or De'Aaron Fox are available for the Kings 5th pick.

i don't know if sinasamantala nanaman ng mga writers yung pag alis kay griffin sa cavs.. pero very possible din na di na kaya ni gilbert magbayad ng luxury tax in a losing season kaya bubuwagin na yung group of overpaid players..

Im sure they will be, but Ranadive and Divac will probably do something dumb with their pick. I'll trade you Lamarcus for the 5th pick kung pwede lang hahahaha

Wow, jimmy butler goes to the wolvesfor lavine, chris dunn, and the 7th pick! I kinda like the trade for both teams.

As a Kings fan Im hoping for fox, and maybe monk at 10.

Edit: dont like the trade for the bulls now that theyve also given up the 16th pick. I've done a complete 180 on the trade now that they took Markennen

I thought they'd get some guy with big upside and potential (like maybe Malik Monk, or Dennis Smith Jr even though he's also a PG), but they got Markennen

The Bulls are a joke.

I hope D Wade has fun with this team.

Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:33 am

I want malik monk at 10th. Please give me fox and monk for the kings. Pleeeeeeaaaaaassssseeee.

Fri Jun 23, 2017 9:41 am

Lugi masyado bulls.. butler for lasy year's draft bust.. a slam dunk champ with a busted knee.. and a 16th pick na probably another bust.. baka dina bulls itawag sa kanila.. intead magiging chicago bust na..

if inlove pa din si PJ kay Love maybe they should unload him for kriztaps..

Fri Jun 23, 2017 12:47 pm

Mixed emotions ako sa Butler trade..While its sad to see him go, kahit papano ok ako sa kapalit (Kris Dunn)...

D-Wade will mentor him...

As for Lauri Markannen, i'm somewhat surprised. Hopefully he fits into Hoiberg's system...

Minny's new big three hopefully works (Butler-Wiggins-Towns)....Sana magclick ito at maka pasok na sila sa playoffs....

Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:07 pm

Mavs got Dennis Smith. Nice one...Pero sana wag nila pakawalan si Yogi...Developing player yun eh...

I'm intrigued how the Josh Jackson-Devin Booker combo will work out.

NYK getting Ntilikina...Does this mean goodbye Derrick Rose?

Edrice Adebayo goes to Miami....Hmmmm....

Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:29 pm

Nakuha nila si Westbrook Jr..

sana nga hindi one season wonder si yogi.. they tried to make a move for kriztaps pero PJZ was firm na top 5 oick dapat + 2 quality players

Kings traded 10th pick to the Blazers for 15th and 20th pick.

Kings select Justin Jackson at 15, then Harry Giles at 20.

^^Pafs happy ka na with DeAaron Fox as the Kings top pick? He he he....Malay naten maging face of the franchise nila yun....

And Blake Griffin opts out to become a FA for the first time....Bah....San pupunta ito? OKC or Boston?

Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:16 am

^ kung kaya ng cavs. Sa Cavs

Sat Jun 24, 2017 10:43 am

Lost in the shuffle with the bulls trades was the fact that d wade opted in before butler was traded hahaha. Galing talaga ni gar forman at ni pax haha. Mayaman nga si dwade ng 24 million pero rebuilding project naman hahahaha
