And Butler is only coming into his third year. Dude is anything but a finished product offensively and showed some marked signs of improvement on that end to complement his stellar defense. They drafted a 'potential' wing defender, Butler is already a proven commodity in that regard. I don't see Thibs signing off on this deal, ever.

As far as assets...no one wants the Boozer contract and why would they deal a two way player in Deng whom they value as an offensive outlet and solid perimeter defender as well.

Making moves just to make moves when it doesn't fit into your team/coaching philosophy doesn't make much sense either.
