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

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.

The warriors probably have the west locked down for 4-5 years. Butler will be 33 by then. Dunn and Levine would be 26-27 then.

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.

Bulls were a 40 win team with Butler, played like a 20 win team without him.

But Jimmy was the problem preventing the FO adding talent.

To be honest, I don't know about the fit with Jimmy and the Wolves. All of Wiggins, Towns and now Jimmy need the ball in their hands to be effective. I think it's going to be a terrible fit, and Jimmy is going to bounce with Magic Johnson and the Lakers once his contract is up.

I can't imagine Jimmy wanting to live and play in Minnesota long term.

First of all, watch your f*cking mouth. You act like a dick as if someone here's impressed with that, but I can assure you it grates EVERYONE'S nerves.

Secondly, I'm talking about a line-up of Rubio-Jimmy-Wiggins-Dieng-Towns. They have some tweaking to do and less money to tweak with. Obviously they won the trade by a lot -- we'll see what comes next.

Agreed. The fact is, Minnesota is cute and they have some real good talent, but they still don't have Golden State talent.

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?

I said I hope he leads us to the lottery. I want to be bad too.

We need the lotto picks now, since we failed to get one.

Once again this was all about money. They didn't want to pay Jimmy that super max. Fk them

GarPax is the irritant.

Sure. Let's accept that premise. My post still holds true.

Might as well let him David Robinson the next season to create a better pick next year.

But then he'll have sat too long and be ruined mentally like D Rose.

I hope it's fun like Philadelphia 76ers and not perpetual sadness like the Phoenix suns.

The bulls suck at tanking. Cant even be bad when they want to.
So no tank . Build this team for next year with young players.
Lavine was a good starting sg but we have wade so im wrapping ny head about that.
We kinda have rondo , we kinda dont. We have two young pgs Dunn and Payne

Jimmy isn't worth the super max

[Bolton wanders]

i hope obama buy the bulls because i think he love this city and will take care of bulls team more than jerry .

[Rerisen]

Sure. Let's accept that premise. My post still holds true.

Butler was an irritant to GarPax.

GarPax are an irritant to Bulls fans.

[Indomitable]

Maybe it's because I watched a lot of Arizone, but this kid has legit talent.

Can you give a scouting report

Cleveland doesn't have Warriors talent.

So are the Bulls gonna move some more players?

If they're going full rebuild, they must tank hard this year. Top of the draft is strong next year.

I hope they're not trying to "compete" while rebuilding. If I see this line up next season...

Rondo/Dunn
Wade/Valentine
Lavine
Mirotic/Markkanen
Lopez

I'll lose it.
