    If Ainge can't get Porzingis or George then..completely FAIL.
    He could beat that offer in his sleep..yet chose to sit on his assets..Let's see what happens.

    What a horrible deal for the bulls. I would have taken Love or take the Celtic deal. Celtic have so many picks.

    The best you could get was a 7th pick and you had to give up #16? They must be High on DUNN or Really high.

    Dunn didn't look good at all

    this deal stinks, something tells me adam silver has his fingerpronts all over this. Silver so badly wanted this twolves team to be the new okc thunder.

    the bulls were probably promised a future 1st overall pick

    Agreed. If Ainge doesn't get PG or Porz, what a waste of all those assets. What a waste especially since TWolves got Bulter for so little. I thought they would have to give up at least Wiggin.

    But all they gave up were craps

    This trade is so one sided, Silver need to veto this. The WEST IS RIGGED> The west don't need more great players

    would be a good deal for the Bulls if they gave up a 2nd rounder instead of the 16th

    Wait a minutes. The Wolves get Butler and #7 pick overall????

    They get BUTLER AND A #7 pick???

    WTF. THIS NEEDS TO GET VETO

    Zach coming off ACL and hasn't shown anything but being a DUnk champ and a scorer. DUNN looks like a bust.


    BUTLER is ALL NBA AND ALL DEFENSIVE and you get a #7 pick that will be better than DUNN OR ZACH???

    MOREY WHERE ARE YOU

    No you're not following the nba. The bulls got the 7th pick. Though they traded their 16thpick back.

    Some risk involved for both teams . Butler is a big name, but he might be declining at a rate faster than one would expect. Minutes have caught up to him a bit.

    On the CHI side , lavine is coming off a serious injury. Yes , it's one that players often recover from , but that's no guarantee .

    I don't think the trade is too one sided.

    I may be in the minority, but I'm sure how Butler-Towns-Wiggins all fit together. Yes, that is a playoff team no doubt, but those 3 + Rubio are at a shooting depict. They will need shooting badly and bench players, but I feel they will be able to recruit to that big 3.
