Nick Knacks: A Bulls Trade That Makes Sense
Minnesota TimberwolvesChicago Bulls fans went into full panic mode June 22 when beloved shooting guard Jimmy Butler was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 16 pick in an NBA Draft Night blockbuster. In return, the Bulls received point guard Kris Dunn, shooting guard Zach LaVine and the No. 7 pick.
Bulls fans were not impressed with the deal. The hashtag #FireGarPax –– referring to the front office duo of General Manager Gar Forman and Executive Vice President John Paxson –– started trending within minutes of the deal becoming official.
Despite what fans were saying on social media, I think this deal can work in the Bulls’ favor. Hear me out.
