Should the Celtics have topped the Timberwolves offer for Jimmy Butler?

Rumblings of Jimmy Butler being on the trade block have been rampant over the last two years, and finally a team was able to pry the swingman from the Bulls, but that team wasn't the Celtics, and it really didn't cost a lot.

The Minnesota Timberwolves reunited Butler with his old coach, Tom Thibodeau, for the price of the young Kris Dunn and Zach Lavine, and the teams swapped picks in Thursday night's draft.

Seems like a steal for the Wolves, who may jump into the playoff picture in the loaded Western Conference with this lineup, while Chicago struggled to secure the eight seed this past postseason with Butler.
