also, as for this part, his value on the trade market is fairly absolute and not really determined by what he's worth to us (even if you think he's worth less to us). if we trade him, we need to get appropriate value in return. not a 5th pick in a weak draft. not if your aim is to bottom out. the bulls could probably get a player that will help them next year better than dunn but if you get someone with butler's approximate, current value you flirt with .500 and pick in the late lottery again.
