Doesn't really matter, the team needs to suck next year.

And it will, with or without Wade.

Also don't really get this trade for the Wolves. Yeah Jimmy is great but they can't compete in the west any time soon. Why mortgage the future on that?

I don't think people are opposed to trading Jimmy. Just to this lousy trade.

What did they mortgage? They got a top 10 NBA player for nothing. Dunn is trash, Lavine a rotattional player, and Channing Frye 2.0.

Honestly...I'm over it already. Let the tank begin. This is what so many people wanted, and those people have no room to complain.

Where are all #TrustTheProcess folks at? You still feeling it?

But but... 'Butler hates Thibs' narrative.

If you think that is a quality young core, you are sadly mistaken. Even good young cores don't win. And we have a bad young core.

We just watched 4 years of an old very bad team

No you didn't. We were a playoff team.

Prepare to see what a bad team actually looks like.

You set the bar too low for me. It was bad basketball, period.

Yes, much better to pay $5 million to a flaming turd than $40 million to a top star of the league.

If he's not, this team's defense will be bottom 5 next year.

Wade, Lavine, Rondo.... none can guard a chair.

Well guess that's good, gonna want the #1 pick next year for this to make any sense. But it won't be very watchable.

The thing is, and I'm not trying to antagonize, if you're going to tank, do it now when LeBron and the Warriors are the only things of consequence in the league right now.

"Suck" is the understatement of the decade. We are hands down the worst team in the league.

I wanted a rebuild with assets.

Not a rebuild with nothing.

Portland could have taken Michael Jordan. What do you want?

No way, Collins doesn't have a fraction of the skill level Markinnen has.

Charmin soft whose game will not translate in the NBA. He is a bust IMO. Collins will be great in Portland.

Not a good day for the Bulls. From injury prone Drose to injury prone Lavine. And Bulls have given up their 16th pick.

Something better than what Minny gave us.

That's for damn sure.

This is one of the worst trades I've ever seen for an all-star.
