I dont get why people other than Bulls fans aren't losing their poo poo. Jimmy Butler is so loving good. Like maybe the 2nd or 3rd best player in the east and thats while playing for a garbage team with garbage team mates and a garbage coach. And he got traded for nothing. for a player who nobody cares about and a guy who had 2 good months before suffering a bad injury.
how can the nba have so many "smart" GMs and none of them swept in to at least make a better offer? I feel like I'm crazy. Butler is so good.

A key thing you're missing is that GarPax thinks of Kris Dunn the same way Vivek thinks about Buddy

Like if you're planning to make a franchise altering trade, perhaps you should do your due diligence on the biggest asset you'll get back in return. This is the 3rd guy in the past 5 years the Bulls drafted who they didn't workout or even talk to.

This is the laziest loving organization in the league.

Unless every other leaked offer is a lie, they got much better offers
Didn't the Bulls front office love Kris Dunn?
They totally alienated butler by letting trade talks go public, and now we get the result. I'm sorry that your team is great at messing up a good thing

Like I said in the draft thread, its literally the first time they've had an actual 3 sized scoring wing since Paul Pierce. First one Brad Stevens has coached since Gordon Hayward. His production was inflated by playing 4 at Duke. But if he can embrace whatever small role they give him and not letting scoring 20 points in a few games go to his head then he should at least be a nice piece, that would be the silver lining

It is amazing how this organization alienates every single person that comes in contact with it.

Jimmy Butler was the 30th pick in the draft and worked his rear end off till he became a great 2-way player and the Bulls did nothing but poo poo talk him to the media and trade him for some rotation guys.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and the 2016 no. 11 overall (Sabonis) --- > Serge Ibaka

Serge Ibaka ---> Terrence Ross and the 2017 25th overall pick

2017 25th overall pick ---> 2020 OKC 1st (top-20 protected for three years, conveys into two second rounders in 2022 and 2023)

SO overall

Oladpio, Illyasova and a no. 11 pick turned into Terrence Ross and two second rounders six and seven years in the future.

I shouldn't have let y'all talk me into being a normal NY hater. The main dumb stuff he's done so far is speak truthfully about how lovely Melo is

Well I still don't think he did himself any favors re: attracting free agents in the future with all of this, but at least he didn't do something stupid during the draft

HOW THE gently caress DID THE WOLVES GET BUTLER A YEAR LATER WITH A RECOVERING LAVINE, 1 YEAR OF TAPE ON DUNN, AND BASICALLY SWAPPED THE NUMBER 7 PICK WITH 16

WHY THE gently caress HOW DID THEY STILL GET A PICK SWAP
