Would you trade Wiggins for Butler straight up (poll)

I listen to a lot of Mad Dog radio, and yesterday Ruosseau was talking about Draymond Green. He was making a case that he is a nice player, but not nearly to the level of his reputation. He ripped off a list of about 10 names who were definitely better than Green and said there was plenty more. Three of the names mentioned were Towns, Wiggins, and Butler. He went on to say that Wiggins is a lot better than he first thought when he came out. I like Wiggins a little bit, so it was nice to hear him talked about in that context.

Good to hear. I'm high on Wig, but reports like that and the resounding Wig over Butler vote in this poll makes me think I am underrating him.

I am a HUGE Jimmy Butler fan, and think anyone who wouldn't trade Zach Lavine for Butler straight up, outside of for team being in it's prime together reasons, is off their rocker. Lavine will definitely be the better shooter but Butler has a fantastic overall game on both ends of the floor, something Zach will probably never have. Zach + #5 is a difficult one for me, because I do place some value for #5, but in all likelihood, Butler will always be the best player in this trade, therefore I'd likely pull the trigger.

Wiggins vs Butler is a more interesting trade scenario to me. Lavine is a better shooter than Wiggins, but Wiggins is the player that I believe can become an elite 2-way player. That, combined with age and upside, is the reason I wouldn't do this deal.

The thought of having 4 potentially plus defenders on the court together (Rubio, Butler, Wiggins, and Towns) is exciting, especially since you can get a lot of offense out of that foursome as well.
