Either way we got a really talented player today.
This also makes the rest of the draft worth watching
Agree with yo (though I was torn between Dunn and Hield). I don't think we need to trade Dunn or Rubio just yet. Dunn hasn't played a minute in the NBA and Rubio is still a slightly above-average PG in the league. I could see Dunn playing some minutes at the 1 and the 2 this year, and if he really looks like he's going to pan out better than Rubio (no guarantee), then we can look to move Rubio before the trade deadline. Let's not jump the gun.

If the Bulls want Dunn that bad, then I say we tell them we'll give them Dunn and someone not named Rubio/Lavine/Towns/Wiggins, take it or leave it
Bazz and pek
I'd be fine with that. If they don't get a great deal then hopefully they are smart and just keep Dunn. They can figure out the Dunn/Rubio situation later on. For all we know they might play really well together even.
Dunn just seems like such a Thibs kind of guy. Can play both sides of the ball, especially on defense. I'd be surprised if we traded him without picking up a very good vet in return.
Now, Butler would certainly count as a very good vet! But I wouldn't include LaVine with Dunn for Butler because where would our 3 point shooting come from on the perimeter. I really hope the Wolves don't do that rumored trade.

Dunn isn't my guy however its obvious he is HIGHLY regarded by a few teams so that encourages me. I'm interested to see if there will be a trade.
Really Monster? You are dealing with home appliances on one of the most important night's in the NBA offseason!? Really!? You need one of Jerry's 60-minute beers I think.
