NBA Trade Rumors: Three-Guard Player Movement, Jimmy Butler to GSW, Klay Thompson to Boston Celtics and Avery Bradley to Chicago Bulls?

A possible blockbuster trade is around the corner as NBA trade rumors continue to pick up even early in this season with three excellent shooting involved in the speculations.

Recent reports said that the Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors have engaged in a serious conversation regarding a trade proposal that mentions one-half of the "Splash Brothers," Klay Thompson. With the addition of former MVP, Kevin Durant to the Golden State Warriors, Klay has been seen struggling and if things don't go well with this 'super team' formation, Klay Thompson may be headed to another organization, and the Boston Celtics will be a sound choice for him.

Inquistr website has noted the possible three-team trade enlisting Chicago Bulls' all-around player, Jimmy Butler. The rumored trade scenario would send Bulls' shooting guard and small forward, Jimmy Butler and power forward Bobby Portis to the Golden State Warriors, while three-point specialist shooting guard, Klay Thompson will join the Boston Celtics. This trade will have Bulls receive lockdown defensive player, Avery Bradley, small forward Jaylen Brown and first-round draft pick in 2018 from the Celtics.

For the former NBA champions, Golden State Warriors, this potential player swap will benefit the team as their current line-up is in need of big men to fill in their frontcourt. If Jimmy Butler and Bobby Portis end up playing for the 2015 NBA champions, Butler will take Klay Thompson's spot and Portis will come off the bench supporting current high-energy power forward, Draymond Green.

Jimmy Butler is a better all-around player than Klay Thompson and his defensive skill set will strengthen the Golden State Warriors' backcourt. With this move, we can see a future split of the "Splash Brothers" of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Although none of these trade speculations have reached the league as a whole, it is but a wait and see moment for the Golden State Warriors as they look to prove to the entire basketball nation that they are a force to be reckoned with because of their 'super team.'
