Should Celtics trade potential No. 1 pick for Jimmy Butler?

With DeMarcus Cousins traded to New Orleans, Chicago Bulls wing Jimmy Butler is the biggest name remaining with a realistic chance of changing teams before Thursday's trade deadline.

According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Bulls are seeking a package of a pick expected to be in the top five selections, a current starter and a top prospect in return for Butler. The Boston Celtics, currently second in the Eastern Conference, are the team best positioned to make such an offer because they hold the Brooklyn Nets' picks in the next two drafts.
