Quote:
The Chicago Bulls have moved on from Jimmy Butler in a trade that sends the All-Star guard to the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to The Chicago Tribune’s K.C. Johnson. In return, the Bulls get Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and the No. 7 pick in Thursday’s draft. The trade reunites Butler with Tom Thibodeau, who coached him through 2014 before taking a job as head coach and president of the Timberwolves last summer.
Bulls go from Jimmy Butler is our franchise guy to shipping him out 1 season later....
At least Wade can hug his paycheck, that Bulls team is going to stink.
Wolves improve a lot with this roster move, Butler gives them a veteran presence they needed.

So basically, the Bulls traded a top 10 player for a guy who just had an ACL tear, a guy who averaged 3.8 PPG last season, and the #7 pick. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Sounds like Bulls are rebuilding at this point. Thats why they traded Butler who is in the prime of his career and would be better off going to a team on the upswing.

That's all fine and good, but if you will go that way at least get better prospects and selections. _________________ Courage doesn't always roar.

I thought it was a good rebuilding trade for the Bulls until they used that 7th pick to take Markkanen. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant
Minny lacks 3-point shooters but their perimeter defense is going to be improved and might compensate for it.
KAT is now their best 3pt shooter. They really need a PF who can space the floor and defend better than Bjelica as well as a deadeye shooter to come off the bench behind Butler.
Rubio/T. Jones
Wiggins/Clark?
Butler/Muhammad?
Patterson?/Bjelica
KAT/Dieng/Aldrich/Patton

This trade is horrible for the Bulls. They basically gave up Butler and their pick to move up. Lavine is a dunk contest winner and thats basically it. Dunn is a bust

I wonder if the Bulls would have given us Butler for Russell, Randle, Deng, #27, and #28. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
