The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Providence guard Kris Dunn with the fifth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft on Thursday night, but he might not be with the T-Wolves for long.

The Bulls reportedly were engaged with the Boston Celtics in a potential deal for the No. 3 pick, but the C’s kept the selection and drafted Jaylen Brown.
Chicago traded point guard Derrick Rose to the New York Knicks on Wednesday, and Butler has been involved in many rumors for the last few months.
It also appears Minnesota guard Zach LaVine is a player Chicago covets.
Minnesota understands LaVine's value as young, emerging player. Jimmy Butler talks with TWolves ongoing for months around desire for LaVine.
