Such a strange trade. Almost like a panic trade. They gave up a top 15 player in the league in his prime for 3 kinda decent guys none of whom profiles as future all-star. I mean maybe Dunn will improve a ton, but as Zach Lowe pointed out he's already 23. Lavine hasn't played since ACL and had his limitations anyway and Lauri I'm sure will be a useful player but is one-dimensional at this point. i could see if they got Issac or another high upside guy at 7. What a shitty deal.

AND the Bulls gave up their #16 pick.

I know! Insane. I meant to add that, thanks. That's the strangest part of it in some ways. It's like they didn't realize they were in the stronger bargaining position. They probably could've kept 13 and added another asset form Minn and STILL gotten it done
