This night will get funnier when Bulls take Kennard at 7.

Also when we find out Bulls gave up like a couple 2nd round picks too.

Wait did the Bulls also give up their 16th pick in this deal? I thought it was Butler for Dunn, Lavine, and 7?

The Bulls must really like Kris Dunn. Or maybe they're thinking they can become competitive again on the cheap, that sounds much more likely

Their scouting department consists of watching the NCAA tournament. I doubt they know what Dunn did last year.

Take Rondo's option. Why not

They should trade Rondo for a bad contract and pick. But they won't because they don't understand how this works.

Nah, they gave up the 2nd round pick in the Rose deal to the Knicks. The Cameron Payne 2nd round pick is for 2018.

Since a bunch of local media is friends with Paxson, they're all trying to push this trade as a good thing for the Bulls. David Kaplan is telling people that Michael Jordan wouldn't be available at 16 so it didn't matter if they traded it with Butler.

lol the bulls aren't going to loving buy out wade, they'll let him "mentor" the young guys, wade is going to be sitting on the bench in a loving lawn chair by the end of the season counting his money

They'll buy him out during the season because it'll save Reinsdorf a few bucks to spend on the White Sox. But they'll keep him to start the season because it's tough to sell tickets marketing Kris Dunn and the slam dunk champ maybe back by January.

Pacers are gonna be stuck with PG until the trade deadline. And I think most Pacer fans are not going to like him because they'll be like "durr he's greedy" and all that. If he's not traded before the season starts, it'll be ugly.

Can't Indiana offer him a ridiculous amount of money compared to other teams if he makes All-NBA this season? Wouldn't that give Indiana some leverage in keeping him?

Bilas is cool, he's the only guy ESPN has ever had on the draft set who actually added something

Yeah, Jalen doesn't follow college hoops and Wilbon is pretty clueless. They need someone on the set who actually watched these players.

Peter Jok to the Pelicans you might want to know.
