Draftmas is ruined. Holy crap this is terrible all around, the trade, the pick, all of it.

Dunn is a "solid piece"?
Yup. Great defender, poor offensive player, struggled picking up an NBA offense as a ROOKIE POINT GUARD. He will be a decent player moving forward because he has elite intangibles and a high BBIQ.
Yeah but we traded an All-Star with a friendly contract for a Torn ACL and one who could maybe be a decent player moving forward, we got Billyking'd by the Wolves

You're confident on a guy who is heavily athleticism dependent coming off a torn ACL? Did you miss Derrick Rose?
Rose was a total headjob. Think of all the players that have returned from an ACL. He'll be fine. Will be able to play an up tempo style of play.

This is the front office that some of you trust ro rebuild. A non-starter shooting-only big man to replace Mirotic. Disgusting.

Bulls could learn from this, when you have a good team, push the chips in.
Learn from what how to lose in the 2nd round? Which is what this deal gets them. I think the Bulls know that one.
They have a team full of young players all getting better.
The Bulls have a team full of.... low grade prospects and players busting so far.
The ones "getting better" are now on the Bulls. All they have are Towns and Butler. Which isnt going to win you anything.

Well we are officially back to 2000 when Kukoc was the main guy, lol, tanking rebuild. Directionless FO, I don't know how Gar and Pax still have jobs. 2011 ECF was the only good thing to happen to this team. Bad trade.

At least this guy is high on alot of lists so he has talent.
But man...this is tough..this looks like a 22 win team.

This is your hopeful opinion, not a fact.

I'm not the biggest fan of Markkanen but a lot of people on this board like Porzingis who Lauri projects as a similar type player to.
Losing to get high draft picks and hoping they turn into franchise players is not some next level, genius move. That's what teams want to happen in any rebuild/tank or whatever you want to market it as.

Pardon us for wanting something different from the trash you tolerated for multiple seasons.
