Quin Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Good shit by AKME. I hope these picks don't expire / hope the first doesn't turn into a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 ...I am not sure I understand that Denver protection...is that saying it should only convey to chicago if it is specifically a better 2nd rounder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Larry Nance would have been a nice fit on this team, but we really need the draft picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Bulls still have the BAE + Theis exception. This is after adding, since the trade deadline: Vuc, Ball, DeRozan, Caruso, Brown Jr., Green, Jones Jr., Ayo, and Bradley. Dear lord is this what it's like to have a real front office that knows how to work with the cap? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super thin on bigs unless they plan to give Simonovic good minutes right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are bad it goes to the bulls? Maybe this is they are so confident of their success they need the pick and this allowed them to "give something" they are likely to keep for a few years.

SoxAce Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 When was the last time 2 former dunk champions were on the same team? never? Gonna be fun watching Lonzo throw lobs to this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know anything about NBA salary cap stuff, but I always feel like expiring contracts have some sort of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The thing to watch is what does the Bulls front office do with those picks. They have 2 first round picks and I have to think if the team plays well and a star comes available those are in serious play (pairing with others). Pretty excited to see what this team actually looks like. Lavine is so darn likeable - I really am hoping they can take that step up.

I think it would be hard because they’d have to draft at least one of those picks for the other team right? I think trading for a star may be tough, getting one to sign more likely unless they swap out a Vuc for a bigger star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Nance would have been a good get IMO, but I can appreciate acquiring a 1st after sending so many out. Pretty outstanding return for a guy everyone knew wasn't a long term piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Bulls got a chance at Aldridge? He played with DeRozan, so there's that, but I'm guessing he would want to chase a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I liked about chasing millsap is I was under the impression he can still defend pretty well, aldridge was a pretty big defensive liability at the end for the spurs. There aren't a lot of options left that scream out but no option really screams out anymore so gonna have a scout pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vanderbilt from wolves wouldn’t be a horrible choice as a runner up. More upside but obviously more risk. I do think good shot Aldridge ends up on roster if he does play.

Vanderbilt is RFA though isn't he? Feels like we are tapped out there for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Alize Johnson it is. Doesn't have great size but that boy can rebound. Had a 20/20 game last year. Gotta have some talent to do that. Love that he made a Rodman post on Twitter when he found out he's coming here..... Probably the best forward available right now. I dig it. Lots of versatility on this team.
