That scares me. I'm at the draft party. We've been waiting for Scott Layden to come down and talk to us. The fact that he hasn't come down yet tells me we're still talking with one or more teams about trading Dunn.

If we do a deal for Butler we better not include LaVine. Dunn, Shabazz and Pek for Butler and #14. That's my final offer. It's clear the Bulls have decided to do a full rebuild otherwise they wouldn't be offering up Butler to multiple teams after dealing Rose.

So the Bulls have tipped their hand. We wait until they cave. If they don't cave or some other team offers something better then so be it. We keep Dunn who has a chance to be very very good along with our young core and add Deng or Noah as a FA.


Not sure if Layden knows what's going on....he needs to check with Woj first.

Great info about Leydon, Lip...keep us posted.

I suspect you may not see him for awhile though. I think we have a great asset in Dunn at 5, and he may be talking with several teams...especially Denver, Philly and Chicago.

Just got word that Layden will be coming down to talk with us in 15 minutes. So perhsps a deal was just done. Or maybe talks just ended. Maybe Scott will give us a clue. I'll keep you all posted.

Ha, I know you monster...you're a little like me when it comes to the Wolves. If Dunn ends up staying, I predict we're both posting some good stuff about him tomorrow!

Where are you hearing this?


Watching The Vertical stream on Yahoo!. What I have learned is that Woj is a God and knows what will happen 20 minutes before anyone else, including the GMs making the decisions.


I can't seem to get that stream to work. Maybe I need some sort of plugin or maybe it's because I'm in Germany. It's 3 am here. I gotta get up and go to work in a few hours. Gonna be a long day!
