2016 NBA Draft Preview: Boston Celtics
By Adam Nazzaro
Chicago Bulls Trade G Jimmy Butler to Boston Celtics for #3 Overall Pick, G Avery Bradley, G Marcus Smart
As much as I want to believe this, it is a long shot for Boston to land Butler. The whole league is contacting Chicago to see if the new Team USA player is available. After G Derrick Rose was dealt to the NY Knicks yesterday, and F Pau Gasol and C Joakim Noah contracts are expiring and will test free agency it looks like the Chicago Bulls are cleaning house. With Butler on the move, it could be with a number of teams and my gut is telling me that it won’t be the Boston Celtics.
But we can dream right?…
