Butler will be Deng's backup. They loved his athleticism and length and Thibs thinks he could be a good defender. Finally we'll be able to give Deng some rest.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) Butler? lol. Pathetic. I hate Chicago teams. By all means, please stop being a fan of them then.

Looks like it will be Jimmy Butler. Great story.

Bulls on the clock at 30. Harper or Mack please.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) They passed on Brooks and Hamilton. Hamilton is going to get flipped for Rudy Fernandez, who the Bulls coveted for years. And it could be that the Bulls overreached on Mirotic. Most teams aren't going to take a player who won't come over for 3-4 years. They only have so many roster spots. Get used to it because they'll be making a lot of picks like this in the near future. And overreaching on what some considered the 7th best prospect in the draft is the same thing they did with Asik. That worked out well, didn't it?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) F- for the Bulls. They passed up on better prospects that could help them THIS year for a project. Stop. Stop. Please for the love of God stop.

Mavs trade 26th pick (Hamilton) to POR for Rudy Fernandez? Portland forwards the pick to Denver as part of the Miller/Felton deal.

DraftExpress says Bulls got 7th best prospect in this draft at 23.

Brooks goes 25, but will be traded to NJ. BOS gets 27th pick.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) What was traded for 23?? Do we still have another pick for a f***ing SG? 28, 43 and cash. Yes. Relax. The SG we pick at 28 or 30 wasn't going to be a impact player anyway.

So there's a very good chance that the Bulls pick a player they'll keep at 30. Harper, Brooks, Mack, Selby, Johnson, Butler, Hamilton, Cole, Leslie, Jenkins all possibilities.

Nikola Mirotic it is.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) Brad Miller's job to coach Beasley? Ya, that'll work.

Bulls trade up. 23 from MIN for 28, 43 and Cash.

Looks like this could be Felton/22 to POR for Andre Miller and Nolan Smith.

Rockets get: Johnny Flynn Donatas Motiejunas TWolves get: Brad Miller 23rd pick Future 1st Per Woj

Johnny Flynn traded to HOU. Minnesota gets Brad Miller. Motiejunas goes to MIN at 20. Damn.

I'd really like it if Motiejunas fell to the Bulls. Use one of those picks and stash him away for a couple years.

Kemba and Biyombo to the Bobcats. They also have Kwame and Diop. Catching my drift?

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Biyombo is a freak of nature. I like him more than Derrick Williams. Yikes.

Way to go Cleveland.

WHOA

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 06:53 PM) The thing about Irving is that he really could be a CP3 type PG. They're very hard find. There's a lot of other Derrick Williams out there. The all-in move is to take Williams and then Knight, but the safe pick is Irving. You just lost Lebron James and the future of your organization is, well, there is no future. You go all-in and hope for the best. What exactly is the worst that could happen?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) Definitely trade one or two of them. Take the best player available and it's Enes imo. I wouldn't go that far. If I'm Utah, I like Jefferson/Kanter pairing up for the long-run.

See. Should have gone Williams and Knight. Looks like CLE goes Valanciunas now.
