Draft Night Drama - GDT

Worse than I thought. Apparently it's the Bulls who get the 2nd round pick.

The source is Woj. He claims it's a done deal. I'm still hoping it's a huge Woj fuck up!!

ugh

It's Dunn and Zach for Butler and a 2nd round pick. Horrible deal!!

Why would he address the draft party if they were still in talks for a deal or one wasn't about done? Doesn't make any sense.

Great point. Unless the deal was off, and the bulls came back with a much sweeter one. Just not the one Lip got through Woj

Way to go, Lip. Way to go. ;-)

Horrible deal for us if its true. Lavine fits so well between wiggins and rubio. Why not just roll with lavine and dunn as a future replacement for rubio at pg. Hope this is not true

I'd be surprised if they moved Butler after the Rose trade.

lip, to say that's a horrible deal is pretty ridiculous IMO. We'd be trading a completely unproven rookie at a position of depth along with a guy whose best case scenario is that he eclipses Butler at some point in his career for a guy that's one of the few two way players in the NBA, at the early stages of his prime, on a solid contract, and an All-Star caliber player. Not sure how that could be considered "horrible" unless we're losing all-time greats.

You really think that's Lavine's ceiling? He's a freakish athlete who also happens to love the game and is a gym rat. If anyone can make this kid a star it's Thibs. No way do I make any deal involving him at this point.

Lavine will never be a better player than Butler is now, unless you don't value defense. Even if Lavine improves his defense, he still won't be an all-NBA defender. Butler is not only a defensive standout, but he's a very good all around offensive player as well. He's not a three point shooter, but he's a stud in almost every other respect. Butler's a 20 ppg/4-5 assist/5-6 rebound a game guy in your backcourt. Lavine may become a better scorer than Butler, but I don't see how his upside can reach what Butler already is.. And speaking of gym rats, Butler is known for being a tireless worker.

Don't just skip over my posts guys sometimes I know things. I'm smart, not like they say. Like I'm dumb

I'm back to Butler and Valentine for Dunn and ZAch...and I like it.

Butler is a top 15 player to team with 2 other potential top 15ers, and Valentine brings us smarts and shooting. I'm way on board

Not me, they need a young core for the city to get excited about. Right now they have Butler.

This is the best post of this thread. I 2nd your notion that Woj has *not* tweeted anything yet.
