Ya I love Jimmy butler.

Who do think is a better perimeter defender out of butler or iggy from 3 years ago?

Iguodala no question - more versatile, much better offensive player, better passer, better rebounder...

p.s. oops... misread the question - you were asking about defense only... much closer... I am not sure... I think I'd take 3-4 years ago Iguadala again...

If we trade Burke, that doesn't require Exum's roll changes... even if we don't get a PG back. Duh.
 
Burke's trade will be a mistake then for organization. If Kanter still sucks, better to let him go, no need to trade Burke to get a real value

Only okay with this if we get rondo

Jalen Rose seems to think that Rondo will end up on the Knicks. I guess the deal has been a close a couple of times. I can't imagine Rondo would be happy if he suddenly got re-routed to SLC.

If I were Rondo, id prefer Utah. Go to a city with a good fanbase, less cruel media, and to a team with a plethora of really good role players awaiting their alpha?


Or go to the Knicks, trying to gel with two of the biggest chucking knuckleheads in pro sports?

Obviously you gotta factor in city appeal-- but I think Utah is much more ideal for Rondo's career than playing 2nd fiddle in Boston. He could average like 14/12/6/2 here. Trying not to be homeristic.

Also, during trade rumours last year, PKM said that Rondo replied "wouldn't mind, as long as they play hard" if he got traded for Utah. Not sure how much stalk you put into PKM's input, but I figured I'd throw it in
 
Don't get me wrong, Rondo would be ****ing ideal. We need every one of his positive attributes in the worst way.

Still, when you add city appeal + the fact that he could walk away at year's end......... big risk.
 
I think Burke stays through the end of the first season, unless Exum shows he's ready early. If we decide we want to tank though, putting a 19 year-old PG out there might be part of that formula.

I agree with OP that Burke and Kanter aren't fitting. I could see Kanter as a super-sub, but he's not going to get the $$$ he wants in that situation.
