Because they got an absolute trash return for a top 15 f***in' player, even for what they wanna do. That is why Bulls fan would have wanted this kind of package, minus thomas. The pick alone is a better return than the trash that they got, and very obviously makes so much more f***in' sense for what you CLEARLY point out they wanna do, potentially land Porter/Bagley.

 

 

All reports were that this type of package wasn't available for Jimmy Butler from Boston though. People can hate the Butler return all they want. My point was that this Kyrie Irving deal has nothing to do with the Butler trade even though people want to make that the case.

It wasn't available at that time.

 

Honestly, the fact that Butler and George got dealt likely led to their massive overpay for Kyrie.

I very much agree with this.

Which only goes to prove that the Butler deal was indeed rushed.

Exactly. Bulls management are a bunch of clowns. But we had to lock down Lauri Markkonen.

The future Windy City Bull, Cam Payne out a couple of months for foot surgery.

His 3rd surgery on the same foot. Another brilliant trade by Gar Forman.

I guess you could say the rebuild is off on the wrong foot...

Bulls trade a 2nd rounder to acquire Quincy pondexter. Really big response to Kyrie trade. I think we're all in.

So Bulls trade yet another draft pick during a "rebuild" for a guy whose career is over after missing 164 straight games. Garpax everbody!

Okay so the Bulls are getting a 2nd rounder. That makes so much more sense.

Windy City and the Bulls are switching coaches, Loenser to the Big Bulls, Henry to WC

(CBS) The Bulls on Thursday acquired wing Quincy Pondexter from the Pelicans, according to multiple reports.

 

The move is a salary dump for New Orleans, which will also send a 2018 second-round pick to Chicago, CSN Chicago’s Vincent Goodwill reported. The 29-year-old Pondexter is owed $3.85 million in the final year of his contract. The Bulls have ample room to absorb Pondexter’s contract, in the form of cap space or a $15 million trade exception that was acquired in the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Timberwolves, whichever they choose.

 

Pondexter has missed the entirety of the last two seasons because of serious left knee injuries that necessitated three surgeries. He’s a career 36.5 percent 3-point shooter.

So they went from what would have been a high 2nd round pick to a mid-range 2nd round pick + a useless player? Sweet moves Garpax

The Bulls don't own their own 2018 or 2019 2nd round pick. They are eating Pondexter's contract in order to obtain New Orleans' 2018 2nd rounder. This is a good deal. It's ironic though that they traded their 2017 2nd for $3 million and now are eating $3 million plus on Pondexter's deal to acquire a 2nd round pick.

I'm okay with it. 2nd round picks aren't crazy valuable but hey, its something. I just don't like when we "sell" them for cash vs. future picks.

Completely agree with you.

The original post said "Bulls trade 2nd rounder to acquire Pondexter" which sounded absurd. If they didn't give up anything then it's fine. Still stupid as s*** to trade the 2nd rounder to GSW like they did.

The original reporting was from Shams that said bulls sent a second for pondexter.

I still hate trading Bell for cash.

Hey man, that cash allowed us to consume poindexters contract to get a future 2nd that we'll trade for cash.

#Pelicans getting draft rights to international player Ater Majok as part of trade sending Pondexter, 2nd-rd pick, cash to the #Bulls.

a 30 year old the Bulls got in a previous deal who has never seen the NBA. That must qualify as "compensation" in the deal for New Orleans.
