QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:36 PM) Butler and Valentine to Thibs for Wiggins and Dunn (and whatever filler is needed) makes a ton of sense....... I'd be stunned if they traded Wiggins

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 07:28 PM) So still nothing on the Butler front Negative ghost rider

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 06:58 PM) Butler is going to leave. Sad day Yes but I'm glad they're making a decisive direction unlike cough cough White Sox.

Sounds like Butler is a Wolf

Zach Lavine doesn't do much for me however. We'll see if it gets done

@espnsteinline ESPN sources say Minnesota continues to try to engage Chicago on talks built around Kris Dunn to try to import Jimmy Butler to the Wolves

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Thanks god the Twolves turned that down. Lavine is far from great. No kidding. I'm shocked they didn't pull the trigger.

I'm fine with keeping butler. Deal had to be right.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) Fixed. Same thing applies with this team and the Sox.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:52 PM) Welp...no deal with Boston. Butler is staying put (don't think we think highly of Jaylon Brown). I'm ok with that. We'll see

I have 0 faith in this organization and landing a top FA.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:37 PM) I want #3 and Okafor or #3 and next year's pick for Butler and whatever the heck else (if I'm doing this). That said, if we do this, get ready to be pretty bad. Staying with Butler and seeing if you can get quality PG play and eventually make a FA run isn't necessarily a bad thing. All of this comes down to how the Bulls grade out whomever they'd take @ #3. I just think Ainge is the type of guy that ultimately gets deals done, meaning, he isn't going to get hung up at the end of the day and will be willing to strengthen the terms. Agree. He usually gets his guy. He wants Jimmy badly.

Kind of feels like the celts butler trade will happen

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) Lavine is a very intriguing talent, but what do we do @ 5. I still don't think it is enough. We need a star and I don't know that we are getting that, again. Wiggins and LaVine and you got something. I agree. I was hoping they'd do Wiggins and 5

@ianbegley Heard one deal that was offered to Chicago for Jimmy Butler included Minnesota's No. 5 pick and Zach LaVine.

I also want the Bulls to take Brice Johnson later. Big Tar Heels fan. Love that kid.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) If something happens, we'd know pretty quickly (although I suppose, there is no reason a team couldn't make a trade at a later date (as long we liked who they selected). Especially, lets say the Bulls like Dunn and the Celtics take him, then they could work it out through the draft. Happens in NBA at times.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:35 PM) Dunn/Wiggins This also

This is on everyone. Owner, front office, manager and coaches, and players for not getting it done.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) Here is the thing: Dunn, Crowder and Marcus Smart gives us two potential starters, none of which has any solid probability of even approaching Jimmy Butler territory and than a solid young bench type player in Smart. Crowder is not some high impact player and Smart is a You don't like Heild?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) I think facing the Blue Jays with a decimated bullpen, a Twins team playing much better and out to avenge two sweeps and the Astros (best team in the AL the last month, along with Texas) will swing the pendulum firmly away from any more desperation additions. I hope so. I hope it pushes us to sell.

I'm probably alone but I'd take Heild at 3. I like scorers. I would be ok with Dunn as well.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:02 PM) .500 again not a goal I guess They're just not very good man.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) Predictable loss once Purke came in. Way too many AAA players on this roster. The injuries to Putnam and Petricka illustrate how god awful the system is. Big reason why I've said fools gold. Don't have the farm system to go out and fix things.
