I think the Wolves got a LOT better.

They gave up a wildcard lotto pick, who knows what will come of that. Dunn's really old for a second year player, hasn't accomplished anything as a rookie. Lavine's great NBA achievements have happened in the dunk contest, the dude hasn't contributed to much winning in his career, and he's coming off an injury so who knows how well he'll retain his athleticism.

The Wolves now have perennial all-star Butler for three years on a very, very reasonable contract, KAT with three more years on a pretty cheap deal, and Wiggins with two more years on a cheap deal. That's a Hell of a trio for not a lot of money. Right now it looks like they're about $15M under the cap for next season, but they can get lower by dumping Jordan Hill at $4M and they waived Pekovic a few days ago due to career ending injuries and I think that may free up even more cash for them. So they all of a sudden are a pretty interesting free agent destination, and they look to have a squad that goes Rubio/Butler/Wiggins/KAT/Dieng. That looks pretty competitive. Find a bench, Thibs calls the shots... I think the Timberwolves are really dangerous.

And the Bulls are the island of misfit toys, so they got that going for them.
