Bulls could still get Lonzo and take on S&T for Lauri. They would need to use Santo and some other contracts in the S&T with New Orleans (just a matter of New Orleans presumably doing its own S&T for the PG it gets).

Report from a NY reporter that Lonzo will sign his restricted contract with Bulls pretty much immediately. Also - evidently Twolves might offer 1st round pick + some contracts for Lauri (not sure who). Both sound intriguing to me.

They won't cut him - unless they are trying to do a solid. With the injuries that will likely happen - Foles is going to get value and just watch the Bears get like a 5th for him. There isn't really any reason to cut him at this point (unless you just think you need to do him that solid).

Lets hope the Bulls surprise us all and the moves they make this off-season pan out and really get the team positioned to be fun, competitive, and have some real upside. Despite my recent pessimistic views - I'll try to be optimistic. At the very least - it should be an interesting offseason for them in terms of people in/people out.

Or someone on the 40 needs to go on the 60 day IL (not sure if there are any potential candidates for that currently on the DL - kind of like what happened with Marshall a week or two ago).

I assumed they were meaning to do a snow fleury?

I agree - at this point it is the move they have to make and ball clearly has upside. Risks too but he is a good roster fit. I think key to this franchise flipping to real good is whether one of our two high rookie draft picks can take the next step forward. With a full training camp and another year of development plus time for Vuc to gel - they should be a team that is much improved but with a pretty definitive ceiling barring one of their youngsters leaping forward into stardom/very good status. If that happens - they can be a free agent / superstar destination. Honestly - I kind of think KD might come (not that he is the most likeable guy) but he seems to like bulls and appears tight with Zach.

The question is what does New Orleans do. He is still restricted so New Orleans has to get their guy - they are trying for Lowry and others. Go figure - bulls to point where they take the Pelicans rejects. Not that ball is bad but his contract is going to pay him with hope that he grows quite a bit as a player and if he doesn’t it is a mediocre to poor contract.

That was as fun of a 1500 as I can remember and than the us men in the 100 meter medley wow. Women did well too - split second silver to Australia in a real good race.

That was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

I presume Thad and Santorasky will be traded this weekend.

Bulls put qualifying offers on Lauri and Dotson...making both restricted free agents. Right move - I still presume Lauri walks but I presume Bulls will either leverage this into a trade or he'll accept the qualifying offer (which I'm okay with).

Hell yeah boys!!!

I was worried Liam wasn’t on board and actually nervous - until I saw his LFG tweet. At that point - I was good.

Nah - Sergio was sexier. I prefer my closers to be converted shortstops.

Cause Liam is batshit crazy out there. Bobby is an extremely close second though.

He is awesome. I ripped the signing cause I didn’t think it was right use of resources but he is so fun to watch close. I loved jenks and Shingo in their short lived primes but Liam is my favorite closer ever for Sox.

Shit like that pisses me off like no other. Professional hitters - don’t look with two strikes. Hate the whole don’t shorten up approach with two strikes anyway. Baseball players are more talented today - but their fundamentals at the plate are shit.

Liam is ready - that f bomb has him set for the k.

I have a better imagination than you - cause this team is way better than Yankees and I’ll take these boys against anyone in AL.

They can and will. Come on now.

That was sweet. But geese - swing the fucking bats. Hate this strikeout shit with runners in scoring position.

I assume they are resting him. Cause I would always have him as my first call for a defensive replacement in the outfield.

Eloy should come out and pinch hit.

Once Robert comes back - just think about how much better offense and defense will be - including not having to pull the non Engel outfielder for defense.
