It will be interesting to see what the team does. I have to think trading the 7th pick is on the table and obviously they are going to look at free agency to get them better (but they are highly unlikely to be players for any of the big guys). The one potential exception would be Kemba.

This was the worst...Lakers move all that way. Uggh.

Please please please end up moving up in and/or winning the lottery. That said, I'm assuming the Bulls will have the 8th pick. Separately, there is a rumor out there that if the Bulls don't end up top 3, they will be looking at potentially flipping the pick, with Cowley indicating potential swap for Lonzo Ball (presumably, say 4th overall pick for Ball plus Lakers pick (i.e., 11th overall). If they don't jump up, I would hope the Bulls explore all options and get creative at what they could do. Partly because there is a drop in talent, but also because I genuinely believe the Bulls biggest strength as a front office is their ability to draft and If we could get someone like Ball and still have a solid 1st round pick, I like there chances of making it worthwhile. That said, winning the lottery would be a total game changer to the entire perception around this franchise, imo. I actually think the Bulls would have more to gain than the Knicks (since they are very clearly going to land a game changing free agent or two).

I presume she had so much rage that it felt good to her to get it all out and when she paused about it, she decided she wanted to do more. I think the reality was, in the heat of the moment, with as raw as she was, she snapped.

I still say it every time

I was wondering the exact same thing when I saw the desert area. Had no idea where that was?

Gotcha. I doubt it is Yara since he was looking at the sky but you could be right, he could be watching something shooting at his ship. The theory of another dragon or a dragon in special armor is what I'm betting on.

Who is Asha?

Leave it to me to complain, but I don't like the way the Bears are handling the kicking situation. I feel at this point, they are overblowing Parkey's missed kick so much that you are almost giving everyone else a free pass. While Parkey blew it, there were still plenty of other plays that got in the way and the entire team needs to focus on being better. Had the Bears stopped Foles it would all be a moot point. Had they scored more points, it would have been a moot point, etc. I do like the fact that they brought in a kicking consultant, etc. This could also be the media overblowing everything too and making it a bigger story than it is.

What is making McCann be so good this year?

I predict the Bears will sign Suh shortly after May 7th.

I think she sits on the iron throne at the end.

I liked the rest of the draft.

Hell yeah!!!

I am warming up to Montgomery.Very shifty with a very good ability to stay low with strong center of gravity.

That is phenomenal

They are getting one comp pick at best and it will be a fourth rounder at best. They will have four picks in the top four rounds in a two year window (this year and next year) and only two within the first two rounds during a 2 year span. That really makes it hard to make yourself better and in the NFL teams and rosters can change damn near overnight. It happens every year.

Trading away as many picks as the Bears have is just not a good recipe for long term success. You can’t just keep doing it. Interesting that the Pats ended up taking a back too. Let’s also not forget Bears have made decisions to push cap costs out as well. Combine that with losing picks out in the past and they play a dangerous game. On Amos and Callahan you might be right since Bears didn’t make any major signings. That said I think they only get one cause of the dB they signed counters losing Callahan since comp picks are based on a net loss (I think).

What comp picks?

Seeing what the Bears gave up, I really don’t like this move at all. We are just giving up picks all over the place when they don’t have the draft capital to do it. Always taking from your future just is a bad long term strategy. You will get burned.

I don’t love the pick, but I want to know what we gave up. I really don’t like how we are always mortgaging draft capital. One thing to move around in the draft but it’s another when you are always going one way. I am a huge fan of the Patriots model...than again that approach tends to line up with my financial mindset. Don’t hate the pick either. High character guy but seems like he isn’t great in the passing game and he isn’t very quick. Not sure what he gives us that Davis or Cohen don’t. Hope I am wrong. Fantastic character though.

Yeah - I think he took the dragon and is going to get Cersei. Would be quite the plot shift and I now kind of totally expect it.

This works for me as well. I don't think Klay is leaving Golden State (and if he does I would expect it is for the Lakers) but you never know. I just don't know why the Bulls wouldn't at least try to set-up some meetings with a few of the top tier free agents and go for the wing and the prayer.

He is a good player. Great d, great passer, athletic. Horrid shot but not that bad in college and I think it can improve. I think he has upside and if he stinks, oh well. Now his dad is the bad part. Like awful. But Ball the player is a significant upgrade over Dunn and he has the ability to be a top 3 PG in this league.
