Poor Bulls fans. Jimmy Butler is in Minnesota now, and the Bulls don’t have any star talent to show for it, unless you really love Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, and/or Lauri Markkanen.
The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are super interesting, but there are a lot of questions about how Butler fits in. Still a no-brainer trade, though.
In this special podcast, a bunch of us — Tyler Tynes, Ricky O’Donnell, Tim Cato, Whitney Medworth, Kristian Winfield, and Mike Prada -- give our snap reactions to a fascinating draft night. Among the topics discussed:
- Ricky, a Bulls fan, gets some things off his chest.
- How will the new Timberwolves mesh? Will Butler clash with Karl-Anthony Towns personality-wise? Is this deal good or bad news for Andrew Wiggins?
- Tyler and Tim gush about Dennis Smith Jr. to the Mavericks for a while.
- Did the Pacers miss an opportunity to trade Paul George and rip the Band-Aid off?
- Did the Celtics make a mistake passing on Markelle Fultz? Or, is taking Jayson Tatum and collecting more assets part of a grand plan?
- How good will the 76ers be next season with Fultz in tow?
- What else stood out? Did the Hornets get a steal with Malik Monk? (We all think so).
