Why?

 

because that would've been a really bad trade and they turned it down

Good if so it might actually get GarPax fired

Meh. Butler's really damn expensive. I'm not expecting much besides a dump.

[David]

feel like it says a lot that 80% of the posters on realgm who wanted to tank and trade butler are freaking out in a bad way about this possible trade

what?

 

he's a great value especially with the new cap

[bcl412]

I kinda think an all out tank is an overrated team building tactic. I don't like trading a young, talented player for nothing/a flier

yes absolutely. especially in the nba when like 2 specific teams who have 2 specific players are the only ones really competing for a title

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, but they're a bunch of RealGM beef logs, so that's what they do.

Disagree.

[SpongeWorthy]

butler has a ton of value and is a good contract for a team like minnesota that has foundational pieces and an ace coach

 

for the bulls, not as much. he's good enough for us to eek out a bottom 4 seed in the east maybe. i'd rather blow it up and at least try and land a superduper star in the draft in the next few years.

[SpongeWorthy]

plus if jimmy and thibs reunite i will definitely root for them

[weis21]

lol ESPN's projected starter's bottom line thing still lists Rose as a G for CHI next year.

Heck yeah.

I mostly do too but the first thing you need to win a title is a super duper star. The Bulls don't have one. If they believe Dunn has a chance to be one you have a lottery ticket and with the trade you probably suck enough to have a second one.

 

That said you can get more value than this, likely at the deadline.

 

But you have to get a superstar. Until then the Bulls are just treading water. None of them are going to sign here and you don't have the assets to trade for one so its gotta be in the draft.

David is right.

getting a superduper star is a pipe dream. i'll take jimmy, put a squad around him, and watch entertaining basketball for the next few years instead of tanking for the generational player that never comes.
