Chicago Bulls: Lauri Markkanen takes a subtle jab at the Timberwolves

During the 2017 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls made a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves that sent Jimmy Butler and the No. 16 overall pick to Minnesota for Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and the No. 7 overall pick.

At the time, the trade was criticized by most Bulls fans. How could the Bulls front office give up two years of Jimmy Butler in his prime for three unproven players?

Well, Lauri Markkanen reminded us on Twitter and Instagram that the Timberwolves were actually the ones who made a mistake – not the Bulls.
