The summer of 2017 will remain in the minds of many NBA fans for various reasons, whether it’s because of the Kyrie Irving trade to the Boston Celtics for Isaiah Thomas, Paul George going to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets after a long stint for the Clippers or, if you are a Minnesota Timberwolves fan, the Jimmy Butler trade.
On the night of the 2017 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls received 22-year-old Zach Lavine, the fifth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, Kris Dunn, and the 10th pick of the same year, which turned out to be current All-Star Lauri Markkanen, for Jimmy Butler, who had three All-Star and All-Defensive selections, having made one All-NBA third team in his six-year career.
