Pushing the blind hatred aside. If there's a way to get anything in return for Dunn the Bulls have enough needs that they should try and get something back.
I think the Bulls are done with Dunn three times over, The injury thing has grown old, it's something else every time. He doesn't have the 3pt shooting range which they could have lived without if Porter had been healthy, if Markkanen would have been healthy, if Carter was a threat and had been healthy, but their replacements weren't able to spread the floor so they really needed Dunn to do it. Third was he was at times reluctant to shoot, who knows if he thought he should be passing the ball all the time or what but when he had the shot too often he didn't take it. He could drive to the basket but lacked the jumpshot. He and Harrison were forced to the SF starting job when Porter and Hutchison were injured. He was fine defensively but his lack of shooting combined with Satoransky having a bad year sunk the team at the start of games.
I could easily see Dunn getting 3/$27M and being happy. Any S&T would have to come after the Bulls move Thad Young,maybe Satoransky to see what they get back and if they save any money. DEN has limited options regardless of the length of the deal Grant or Barton could be of use to the Bulls depending on who they receive in trades.
I still think the Dunn and Young look like players the Knicks would want, veterans who are willing to play defense which Thibs values. The also have a roster of players that are either expiring or they have no desire to keep.
At $15m, I don't think any contender actually wants him. I suppose DAL or POR could use the PF depth with their injuries. At best, I think you'd get a 2nd round pick or a veteran/contract-dump like Ariza, Hood, THJ, Powell, etc.
