However, now I'm reading reports that we are dealing Dunn and Zach for Butler.
Who is reporting?
I can go to sleep now. I hope we keep Dunn because I like the guy, but I also like Valentine, so I'd think about Dunn and LaVine for Butler and Valentine (given Valentine's range and how it could offset LaVine's). Not sure I'd do it because I like the possibility of one day replacing Rubio with Dunn if Dunn pans out, but I'd definitely think about it because Butler is that good.

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!!

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.

Thats too much to trade for Butler. The Bulls will have a nice talented young roster if that is indeed the deal.

Wait, we're giving Dunn and LaVine and a 2nd up for Butler and that's it? Woof. Don't like it. Who's gonna shoot the ball from 3?

I'm skeptical because if he was so sure he would be tweeting it by now.
