Not sure Pau was all that Thrilled with when in LA, but they could do a lot worse.

Yeah I think you are right. I remember so quotes from Pau criticizing his system from when he was with the Lakers.

If we could get Butler and then draft Winslow or Mudiay (and they pan out accordingly, which I know is never for certain--but indulge me for a moment) that could be a super tough backcourt that can score in a variety of ways _and_ defend the perimeter. Mudiay and Winslow have the potential to be nice defenders and Mudiay a Jason Kidd type rebounder.

Man its really too bad Butler doesn't have a say in it so even if he for some bizarre reason WANTS to come to the Knicks the Bulls will most definitely retain him Thibs or no Thibs. Butler at the mini max when the cap explodes in 2 seasons will be one hell of a bargain. Perhaps one of the biggest in the NBA. $12-13 million for a 2 way 6'7" 20/5/5 freaking shooting guard. Jeez.

Butler is max unless there are no bidders. Im not into the bulls cap scenario but with Cap expanding they should be ok. DOn't know if they have a "Harden" type squeeze. If the prognosis with Rose is good they should look to trade him but the RFA makes it a bit harder.

Can knicks pull a "Lin" type move and front load the deal to hurt the Bulls?

The Knicks should go hard after Butler
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

I don't see any way they let him go. I think Rose will be the guy they think about moving and build around Butler with the max. He's RFA - we shouldn't waste our time.

Though he'd be a fantastic fit in the Triangle. sigh.

Imagine if we could build this team?

Galloway
Butler
Melo
Monroe
Willie Cauley Stein

That team would beat people up and be a nightmare to guard. Le sigh.

They won't let him walk, all you do is pointlessly tie up our money and miss out on other free agents before the Bulls match.

Just heard a guy on espn talking about how Thibs wanted to draft Draymond Green and management wanted Marquis Teague. Green on the Bulls would have been very interesting.
