I think we can say for certain there is one outcome tonight: Some Bulls fans will be pissed

Here's how I'd feel tonight: Gone to Heaven: Doncic Excited with no worry: Jackson Excited with hesitations: Bagley, Bamba, Porter Content: Carter God, Why?: Young, Mikal

It was knightni after I proposed it on the mod board so that we could have a less charged / more clear topic title. Otherwise it's a race every year to get the "Bigly Smart" thread vs. the "MAGA!" thread.

The correct answer is "Call your sons, call your daughters. Call your friends, call your neighbors. Mark Buehrle has a perfect game going into the ninth." "Ball hit deep into left center field, Wise back, back. Makes the catch! Dewayne Wise makes the catch! What a play by Wise! A great catch, by Dewayne Wise! Mercy! Under the circumstances, one of the greatest catches I have ever seen in 50 years in this game." "He gone! One to go!" "Alexei...YES! YES! YES! YES! History!" Hawk might has well have been my own thoughts in those final two innings.

Bulls would probably have to include Portis, but I'd be down for that.

Dunn-Lavine-MPJ-Markkanen-Bamba would be an amazing rebuild core. But if Porter develops slowly and Bamba takes time to learn offense, you risk that being an extremely valuable pick next year. If it was Top 3 protected, done.

And a pitchers park instead of a bandbox

Holding children hostage and then blaming others for not going along with it... ...is that a new low?

My guess in this scenario is they retain LaVine. One of 4 or 7 has to go to a defensive player like JJJ, Bamba or Mikal.

Yeah, because due to the Nuggets desperately wanting to avoid cap penalties, they've been exploring using the 14 to dump Faried.

That's a risky road to go down. I'd try to arrange Faried + #22 + Holiday to Memphis, Parsons + #4 + #14 to Bulls. Granted the Grizz would probably want the #14, but any scenario where the Bulls end up with #4, #7 and #14/22 is a home run in this draft.

Can't trade LaVine until after the draft and once he's eligible to be sign-and-traded.

So Trump, Bolton and most of Fox aren't allowed one either, right?

No, because I hate KU basketball.

It would be foolish to flip Covey. The only players people want to flip are vets or contracts nearing their end.

Coyotes are potential predators for Condors. Dylan Coyote is now his nickname.

I'd be down with that. Once Shields is hopefully traded, I can live with Rodon-Lopez-Covey-Giolito-Kopech

So the GOAT got swept?

Clearly the Sox messed up by not taking Covey at #13 over Sale.

At this point I'm pretty sure Ron is the reincarnated ghost of Fidel Castro.

As much as I love my alma mater, going with the Sox training staff would have been wiser.

I'm fine with a boom or bust guy after going with possibly the safest player in the draft, another relatively safe player, and a seemingly safe but projectable player.

I completely understand if the Sox pass on Wilcox, Rocker or De Sedas, but man those names are tempting as third rounders.

Really?

Yeah, this is up there with Storm Throne.
