Ric Bucher of Bleacher Reports is reporting that the Bulls are listening to offers for Jimmy Butler.
“League sources say that the team made it known weeks ago through back channels that shooting guard Jimmy Butler is available for the right price.”
Apparently they held off trading him earlier this season due to the team’s strong start, but now that things are going poorly, they are willing to move him.
This could very well be the opportunity the Celtics have been waiting for. Butler is a legit star player that can carry a team offensively (or play off a guy like Isaiah Thomas).
