QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) The pick is lottery protected. 90% it's going to turn out to be nothing. It's lottery protected, but it's a pick nonetheless. Jimmy Butler wasn't drafted in the lottery, look at him now

At least Rose showed up. Nobody else did.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) Clippers gave up a 1st round pick in there trade with OKC for Jeff Green (where they dumped Lance). Doc continues to get pants in trades. Memphis

Jeff Green traded for Lance Stephenson? Wtf

Pau may just be playing us. He seemed dead set on leaving until reports from today. I still think he leaves for another team

LegionNBA ‏@MySportsLegion 52s53 seconds ago Bulls have traded Kirk Hinrich to the Hawks for a future 2nd round pick. (via ESPN)

Napier?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 01:56 PM) I think we'll make a small trade for Mac and get Napier. well we have 2 minutes.

Markieff Morris to Washington

"We're fine with what we have." Part... I don't even know

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) I have to believe some of this is exasperated by being on PHI. That said, Okafor does not sound like the player that works in Hoiberg's offense. But the thing about that is that we don't run Hoiberg's offense, so that point becomes moot

@dalridgetnt: Meanwhile, Gasol to Kings rumors being shot down posthaste. Sounds like they’re coming from one direction, if you get my meaning.

@SAMAMICK: On Pau Gasol-to-Sac possibility that the Yahoo crew reported, I'm getting skepticism from Bulls side that a deal will materialize today. @SAMAMICK: Worth noting: DeMarcus Cousins has always cited Pau as a big man whose game he admires perhaps above all others, so that'd be a fun pairing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 09:25 AM) No idea how that would work. Bulls get Okafor Kings Gasoline 76ers the kings first unprotected and???? Well, its prices are way down right now, so I don't know how they'd like that

From a Sacramento board

Rose/McLemore/Butler/Gibson/Koufos would be fine, but starting Butler at the 3 takes away a lot of his offensive advantages.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 08:33 AM) LMAO WAT Because 76ers logic

So, the current rumor is Gasol and Snell for McLemore, Koufos, and lowering the protections of the Sacramento pick to which we have the rights. There is also another deal being discussed which includes Marco Belinelli returning to the Bulls, but the parameters of that are unclear. The 76ers are also gauging interest in Jahlil Okafor.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 08:14 AM) Gasol is opting out. Exactly, so we wouldn't be able to get someone averaging 19 PPG for him.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 08:07 AM) It looks like Avi will be patrolling RF this year. There's still Jackson, and apparently we're looking to trade for an OF

Currently obsessed with "Run or Hide" by a band I had previously never heard of called "Run River North"

Good. Glad we didn't get him.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 17, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) I don't think McLemore is that good, and the Bulls already have Butler for the #2 guard spot. If I'm trading Gasol, I'd want at least a good starting SF. Try to get a Gallinari type of player in a 3 team deal or something. Otherwise, you might as well just hang onto Gasol and re-sign him really. If it's that certain that Gasol is opting out after the season, then we wouldn't be able to get someone as good as Gallinari.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 18, 2016 -> 06:14 AM) I wonder if Mario Hezonja would be available. If he is, I'd go after him. I like his game a lot more than McDermott's or Mirotic's. He's not
