The price was high but I think it makes the TWolves significantly better and moves them closer to playing like a three star team. KAT nowhere close to being in his prime, but is already a dominant player...Wiggins REALLY came on late, and Lavine had the most growing to do. Adding Butler to the mix, as you said, accelerates their growth. T-Wolves MIGHT be ready to make a leap into a top3-5 team in the West next year.

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well Lavine did just tear his acl. Ball goes #2 to Lakers and Tatum to the Celtics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happy about trading away Butler, but for Lavine, Dunn and the pick, had to be done. It was actually a great trade for both teams, imo. Gives the Bulls youth and a better starter at PG. Plus they got a big PF that can shoot the three, which they sucked at this past season. 12 minutes ago, Destino said: De'aaron Fox seems like a nice kid. Too bad he's going to Sacramento.

Mr. Sinister Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hmmm, sucks for LaVine. Was just starting to shine and form a great trio with Wiggins and KAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will be a dumpster fire. As great as Jimmy is, Lavine is younger and better than Rondo. And we get Markkanen, who can shoot the three. I don't see them dropping off that much, nor getting any better next season. Probably in for another season around 40 wins and fighting for a playoff spot.

Spaceman Spiff Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Every year I watch the draft and try to figure out who the guys are that we'll have forgotten about in three years from now. Sometimes it's glaringly obvious, other times not so much. That kid from Gonzaga who didn't even start until his senior year of high school is gonna be in Europe in two years, easy.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not swapping the team names after trades is the most annoying thing about the NBA draft. It just makes it confusing. I watch a lot of ACC Hoops. The Collins kid from Wake Forest can really play. I think he'll prove to be a great pick for somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you run with the Heat. I followed Bam since he was a soph in HS. I know he didn't grow up with much, if anything at all. He's a country strong, humble kid. Easy to root for.

Olynyk is the only one I can think of in the NBA right now, he's pretty good.

I grew up a Bulls fan and they were my team for years until I got out of watching the NBA around 2000. I continued to keep up with them and have always pulled for them regardless of me not watching much NBA ball outside of a handful of regular season games and the playoffs/finals from 2000-2008. I was always catching **** from family and friends for not claiming the Hornets/Bobcats my entire life, so I made a decision that if/when I got really big into NBA ball again, I'd support the home team (Bobcats/Hornets). So I claimed the Bobcats/Hornets the past 5 years, even though I continued to pull for the Bulls. It never felt right saying they were my team, cause they never were and all that noise of pulling for the home team felt fake to me. So I told the wife the "pulling for the home team cause people say you have to" experiment was over. Time to get back to my roots. Still can't find my Bulls flag I had in college. It was pretty big, would be nice to toss up in the man-cave. Wife can't remember where she packed it up when we moved into our house, probably buried in the attic. Hell man, in college, during the Jordan/Pippen/Rodman era, I went to the Hornets/Bulls game in the Hive, decked out in Bulls gear I took so much **** from fans and got threatened to get tossed off of the upper deck for cheering for the Bulls lol. I wish nothing but the best for the home team, always have, but it's time I returned to the team that has always had my heart.

I remember you grew up a Bulls fan but didn't know you'd gone back. I don't subscribe to the theory that you have to root for the local teams anyway like so many a ES do. It's 2017, the world is small. Don't be limited by something like the location of your birth, follow whatever gives you a connection and stick with them.
