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

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

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.

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.
