k so this is what was done:

Also I would say that getting Caris LaVert for Victor Oladipo >>> getting kelly olynyk

So there's been a lot of movement but - looks like Jeff Teague will be waived after being traded to orlando. He was terrible when I watched the other day (and obviously, barely paying attention to future star Theiss). But we have Sato and White so hard to know what upgrades are.

They definitely would, however, what if bulls got unlucky again. The most likely scenario was a pick for the bulls in the 11-14 range, that has very little value in getting a star. So you are in a situation today where if bulls get very lucky - they still have that pick. But if they don't, then that pick had its greatest value an hour ago - and Vucevic for 2 firsts is pretty much going rate (holiday-esque). I'm actually really happy about that part. Now, next year if you need picks, you would have to either find a first or do pick swaps or whatever if suddenly like Damian Lilliard wants out then maybe you are able to put a package like that together.

Hmm, and here I thought sports medias slant toward boston sports teams meant I never needed to watch their games. Theis seems like a really good get for Wagner, whom I don't like how poorly he rebounds. Damn AKME. I'm excited, I was completely taken aback, but most important thing to me is it was a real risk if bulls punted that zach would go join up. He may still, but I think bulls have good shot at making this a group, esp. after adding a PG this offseason. I think I just dislike Vucevic because they were so completely boring but Clifford does that to you, and he's a great coach, but completely boring.

Dude seems pretty good.

*looks up Daniel Theis for strong opinions*

I really, really want another out of nowhere trade like Lowry going to bulls lol.

It's the week before the season, there aren't exactly all-stars you can pick off the shelf.

Only 15 mins left right? yeesh.

If we are going to make the playoffs, a Young/Vuc backcourt >>>> Lauri/Vuc, who will just stand out at the 3 point line waiting for others to make plays.

New Orleans much more likely to be able to retain Lauri. No chance they retain ball.

Realistically, just sign Cespedes today, buy time so teams don't rake you over coals on cost. Get some more budget certainty and go after it.

luckily even if he failed the only point to him was for a salary swap that expired end of season.

No to play outfield

I didn't realize the spread between lauri and Ball would be that significant. Will advise my sons to get drafted top 3 instead of top 7

I'd go after castellanos personally.

Will be surprised if Eloy is even alive as we hear every sox twitter source falling over themselves to let us know they've heard, and boy, everyone is saying its bad.

I'm just going to stick to this thread instead of the one-upping eloy injury rumors.

You know what is unrealistic but would be a pretty weird/fun team: Somehow getting brogdon

I really don't have any expectation for how this will all fit on the court, am excited to listen to the basketball podcasts on what people expect. I do 100% believe this should keep the bulls in the top 10 of the east, esp. with it seeming like Pacers may start selling. The raptors are really the only concern and they seem like a mess right now. The hawks/heat made their moves, so not much behind bulls that seem like they could scream past em.

Maybe, Markannen has gone back to just being a spectator though and I'm so annoyed/over that. I can't see us retaining him next year, but I could see us totally with Ball. So would rather get those signing protections.

The lottery is now much more favorable to everyone in it. If bulls are out of the top 8 in the east they still have odds to get top 4.

actually I'd say best case scenario is it's incredibly good.
