We’ve discussed Jimmy Butler trade possibilities already and although Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson made a disclaimer about not actively looking to trade Jimmy, he and Bulls general manager Gar Forman would still listen to trade offers “out of due diligence”, according to the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson.
Butler apparently was satisfied with this fair treatment and will be waiting to see if anything really happens. In any case, if the Bulls were actually going to trade Butler for a top prospect, my personal choice would be Frank Ntilikina, the defensive specialist and pass-first point guard from France who plays for Strasbourg.
