alot of Bulls fan hate this, but as a Bulls fan for 35 years I like it. Bulls needed to do something and this was a trade I called when I first heard the rumor. Only thing I hate is giving that 16th pick away.

I liked Butler and respected his game but the Bulls were in a very deep hole

Trust partially regained.

I am happy as well, it was time. The trade is whatever it is.

It would have to be a home run pick at number 7 to even break even to me. Lavine is coming off ACL surgery. Dunn was pretty bad last year.

There are alot of question marks.

To me they blew it by also giving up #16. That was stupid.

Levine shot really well last year but the ACL is scary. It's way too early to make any judgments on Dunn. Need a stud at 7.

Hell of a move for Minnesota. A top 10 star to go with one of the three best young talents in the game, and a competent supporting cast. I'm going to miss Jimmy, his rise to All-NBA level was enjoyable. I got to witness his epic 42 point half in Toronto live. Never forget it.

Future high picks are better than the NBA hell we were lodged in.

Thibs is not only a better coach than Fred, he's also a better GM than GarPax.

They gave up 16 to get LaVine and not Rubio.

Really should have fired the FO instead of the Coach..........

Thibs just owned the Bulls. It's funny, we all used to wish we could trade our young guys and picks for a star and Thibs did it and gout our pick!

They gave up Butler to get Lavine, Dunn and #7. They gave up the 16 cause they suck at their jobs.......

That's great but irrelevant now.

Going to be incessantly whinging for much longer?

Going to learn how to spell any time soon?

Sorry to break it to you, but Dunn can't shoot.

Dunn is horrible!!

Think of a poor mans Kirk Hinrich.

Thats DUNN

I thought you guys got the better end of the trade, especially with all the rumours surrounding Jimmy, and the fact that he's kinda old considering the core of the T-Wolves. Then I saw the Bulls threw in the #16 pick and realized you guys got finessed.

Rondo is a tank commander, wait till you see this bums nightly effort on a team losing 50+.

Honestly, that's sound fantastic. I'm tired of the first round exit.

Check back in 3 years see if you're tired of not even making the playoffs.
