Yeah, I'm super sad about that. LaVine had extreme 3pt stroke potential. His fit next to Wiggins and KAT was damn near perfect... I don't see it with Butler, wigg, and KAT.
Hoiberg is probably praising Jesus that he finally got a shooter lol.
Lavine seems like a great fit with Fred. Also I really enjoyed Lavine as a person too.

Butler make $18.7 mill. Lavine and Dunn collectively made $7 million something. Looks like we dropped 11-12 million. Our cap also depends if we got relief on cutting Pek.
LaVine, Dunn and Markannen for Butler and 16th (to be determined).
I'm definitely liking it the more I think about it. Wiggins and Butler is an amazing wing combination and will send shivers through a lot of NBA teams. There are also the question marks on how LaVine will recover from his ACL tear and if Dunn will ever become anything good.

Future, I think Zach's fit next to Wiggins was less than ideal. They both were ideally 2s, who had issues on defense. I like Zach's potential, but wasn't crazy about giving him big money in a year. Now its clear that KAT, Wiggins and Butler get the big money. That I'm ok with. I liked Dunn as a tandem with Ricky so I'll miss Dunn. I also thought our pick could have gotten us a solid rotation player. If we strike gold at 16 and keep Ricky, I'll be ok with this deal.
