Goes to me eating some crow if Rose can pull back RoLo. And either our Knicks fans would have to do the same considering how they value RoLo or they will have to start selling us on Rose as returning to MVP form. I'd be pretty happy either way.

OMG its true and the Bulls got Grant and a 2nd too. So much crow for me to eat.

I guess LaVine makes the most sense considering the Wolves may draft Murray to fill that role

As a Wolves fan I would not trade LaVine. More like #5 and Dieng for #7 and Faried. Throw in Bazz if we need to....

lol that is WAY too much.

I would speculate something like:

#5/Bazz/Payne for #7/#19/Faried...with #19 maybe being flipped to a third team for a player.

Yeah I was going to say the T'Wolves taking less to turn Pekovic into Kenneth Faried makes sense.

Wolves don't need to dump Pek, they have plenty of space. Faried is not worth dropping down that far.

Bulls did pretty good on this one.

Does this make it more or less likely that Butler gets traded?

Far less imo. Because not only did Rose get dealt ending that issue, they brought back veterans in the deal meaning they are likely to still be trying to compete this year.

Less likely I'd say.

So not only are they not tearing down, they're also not getting any younger.

Also, fwiw:

I don't get the connection. Atlanta could (theoretically) offer Horford FORTY million dollars this year without having to worry about the cap, especially with Teague gone and apparently no salary coming back in.

Why would moving picks have anything to do with re-signing Horford?

I was think the exact same thing, are they talking about going over the luxury tax?

Maybe shopping them for someone else to make it more attractive?

IDK.

Yeah, I tend to agree. But man, Butler, Taj and Lopez, Porter, Mirotic and Dougy? Not sure where they go to build a team there.

Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Knight, Darren Collison. Dragic as a dark horse if Riley really wants to make moves.
