Actor Mark Wahlberg wants Bulls forward Jimmy Butler to join his team.

Wahlberg, an avid Celtics fan, told TMZ Sports that he thinks Boston should trade its No. 1 draft pick for the Bulls’ leading scorer last season.

Butler averaged 23.9 points and shot 45.5 percent from the field in his sixth season with the Bulls.

The Celtics hold the No. 1 pick for this year’s draft in Brooklyn, New York, and are expected to take Washington guard Markelle Fultz. During his freshman season with the Huskies, Fultz averaged 23.2 points and shot 41.3 percent from three-point range.
