We should be VERY interested in absorbing one of the 3 players Houston is putting up in order to clear space at this point

Is it to early to trade Butler?

I hear the Bulls would give us Dunn and a 1st rounder. :LOL:

Adding Butler puts us in play for good FA's that would be better use of the space than absorbing one of the Rockets.

There are some good players who may be sliding down here tonight. I hope Glen has an extra pile of cash laying around that he lets Thibs use to buy us a second rounder.

I'm still not feeling great about Patton. I guess it's a bit of a home run swing. His mobility could make him useful on defense, and I like his ability to run the floor, but other than that . . . I just don't see much there. His horrific FT% suggests we shouldn't hold out any hope for his shot. Maybe he turns into a Hassan Whiteside kind of guy, who sucks for years and then blows up, but . . . meh. There are other guys who would have served a role for us.

I"d like to add a 6th man of the year to our bench though

Just watched some video on Patton. I was pretty impressed. He could be great pick in a year or two. Jim Petersen absolutely loves him.

I think Patton is exactly that and someone Thibs is investing in for the long haul. He'll probably get D-League reps and we will try to develop him properly. I can't possibly see him being part of the regular rotation next year. Good. This is exactly what I wanted - No rookies in the main 9-man rotation!

We do have to work the free agent market though....we've got a couple holes to fill still!
