Official: Jimmy Butler, #16 to Minnesota for Lavine, Dunn, #7 - merged/Justin Patton injured

[RedBulls23]

I'm sorry, but the people that were long advocating for Jimmy to be traded, have no room to complain right now. This is why many people were against trading Jimmy. Knowing full and well that the offers may not come in right.

Hopefully Gar and Pax can flip Lavine and or Dunn for draft picks.

You understand that people who wanted to trade Butler only wanted to do so for a deal that made some semblance of sense, right?

You do now realize that the deal was never on the table right? Yet here we are all the complaining. Once again, be careful what you wish for.

It's being reported that the Celtics wouldn't even give up the 3rd pick or next years BKN pick for Jimmy.

This was always the likely outcome in a Jimmy trade. Enjoy the tank...hopefully we can land Porter or Williams in the next two drafts.

There was a sizable population of Bulls fans on this forum who were on board with a crap return like this one.

Donald Trump is president.

Is there any way to build a wall around GarPax?

Just occurred to me that we'll have to pay Zach Lavine next summer. Or not. It's not like we actually manage assets.

He's won't get the max unless he's 100% back from the injury so at that point it will be worth it. We would have had to give jimmy a 5 year $200 million contract at age 30 in two years if he stayed so a big contract was coming either way.

There is an upside, the Bulls saved around 10 million.

Thanks Jerry.

I do like LaVine. Defense is poor, offense is very good, knee is bad, potential is good. He is a lottery pick. The other two assets, whatever. Plus we now have more money, good.

This sort of trade would always lose, I guess this is better than some. The Wolves will beat us by 15 games next year.

Screw the Wolves. The extra cap space we generated is highly intriguing.

I don't understand why we had to five the 16th as well. Is the 16th a great pick? Of course not. But, how is it that we had to trade essentially 16th for Lavine and Butler for Dunn and Lauri. It's a bad trade but Jimmy needed to be traded. Don't confuse the need with the result. We were going nowhere with Jimmy but we still didnt need to get hosed this badly

Tell me Denver with say, offer of Murray and/or Harris and #13 which is now (Donovan Mitchell!)is not a better package than this $hit????? Also we most likely keep #16. There are a dozen guys on this board that could have done a better job.

He's not making much coming off surgery unless he gets right back to himself before the injury.

I understand the disgust over the trade, but I'm sorry, people need to let go of the notion that GarPax and Jimmy were going to magically lure some all-stars to CHI. It wasn't going to happen.

This deal needed to happen for a host of reasons. And for people complaining about value, Boston allegedly wasn't even offering the 3rd pick in the draft, let alone future assets.

Maybe we'll be ready to compete in a decade once Golden State's run is over.

Gar has no idea how organizational direction works.

Fixed that for you.

[TheGOATRises007]

If it's any consolation, Minnesota's roster now makes no sense whatsoever.

what the **** are you talking about.

Towns + Jimmy is fantastic.

If Wiggins improves some more and he and Towns start playing some defense, Wolves will be a top 3-4 seed.

They gave up nothing.

[meekrab]

We have Dunn now can he start? He didnt play much last year kinda reminds me of marcus smart esque, not so much with the defense.
Payne back him up?

If we're aiming for single digit wins I'm all for this.

The perceived lack of return in this trade should.be an excellent proxy in determining the size of irritant that Jimmy had become in the Bulls organisation.

So now it's Butler fault that people who have extensively proven to be horrible at their jobs in the past are indeed horrible at their jobs.

[WindyCityBorn]

Bulls just got themselves a ton of shooting instead of a ton of iso.

Fred has what he needs now. Time to develop and execute.

Yes execute us into the lottery please Fred.

We WANT to be bad. What is so hard to understand?

GarPax is the irritant.

[YettiBull]

I'd trade Wade and full tank and hop for top pick next year. At least there's a direction, but it will take 2-3 years

Bro....got to look on the bright side.

This. There's really no point in being good-not-great right now.

[biggestbullsfan]

whose our SF?

[musiqsoulchild]

Butler's about to find out how **** small.city life is when you want to build a global name for yourself.

Bye bye Jimmy Leader. We'll miss your stirring leadership qualities.

Stirring as in stirring the pot. Constantly.

Gar it's draft night. get back to making things worse for our team and get off realgm!

You don't want to piss me off, if you think I am who you are.

I just might trade for Melo to make your offseason a sweet syrupy mess.
