Who is good that was drafted after Valentine that I can get pissed about missing out on?

Who is good that was drafted after Valentine that I can get pissed about missing out on?

There are a handful of redrafts out there, but that draft class looks bad all around right now.

 

Guys in that redraft who went after we picked:

Malcolm Brogdon, Boston Celtics

Actual selection: No. 36 overall (Bucks)

 

Ivica Zubac, Phoenix Suns

Actual selection: No. 32 overall (Lakers)

 

Skal Labissiere, Sacramento Kings

Actual selection: No. 28 overall (Kings, via Suns)

 

 

Could've had Brogdon. I hate GarPax

I know it would've been an over pick but I just hate Valentine.

NBA draft to be held in Chicago next year...

 

The fix is in.

McGraw asking if the Bulls could win around Cousins?

 

I'd love Cousins, but won't happen.

 

But man...this lineup

 

PG: Dunn /

SG: LaVine / Nwaba

SF: Porter / Holiday

PF: Lauri /

C : Cousins / Felicio

 

Would just be fun.

The Bulls are in a good spot going forward. There aren't many teams with the financial flexibility that they will have. But yes, I'm aware that GarPax are still making the decisions.

 

I don't really carea bout financial flexibility anymore. As soon as you decide to add you are going to be paying players the max. And so you have to hope to be getting the players actually worth a max deal. And so that's the same predicament we've been in for 10?20? years

Since Benny and Penny hooked up at the airport.

Sun-Times Sports‏ @suntimes_sports 24h24 hours ago #Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic is on a bike but still not keen on playing with Bobby Portis http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/nikola-mirotic-is-on-a-bike-but-still-not-keen-on-playing-with-portis/amp …://http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/...th-portis/amp …

 

 

Now that he is coming off the bench, DWade calling out the Cavs starters. What a time to be alive.

The bulls may end up being watchable enough. Markkanen/Nwaba/Dunn/Lopez all do either exciting (first 2) or highly competent stuff (latter 2).

 

But the long stretches of Holliday/Grant just taking early jump shots are brutal. Maybe Levine cuts down ont hat because he may be the only bulls player capable of going to rim.

It’s deadspin so it’s not like this is to be taken as serious journalism, but half of the bulls roster is on this list and most of them are considered the rebuild core lol

What a waste of a click.

Aldridge:

League sources indicate the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks are the most likely destinations for Okafor. But the Sixers are still holding out for at least a Draft pick, and could still opt to keep Okafor either as insurance against further injury to Embiid, or as a potential expiring contract to aggregate as the trade deadline nears.

 

....

So, where can Philly send him? The Sixers are reluctant to just cut Okafor loose, knowing it will take Celtics boss Danny Ainge about 30 seconds to scarf him up and put him into the injured player exception Boston has for Gordon Hayward. (The two teams haven’t been able to come together on a trade.) Okafor’s knee is sound and he’s in the best shape of his young career.

 

Some have trotted out the usual suspects: Phoenix and New York and other rebuilding teams. But those teams have their own problems and their own young frontcourt players (Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender for the Suns; Porzingis and Enes Kanter with the Knicks) who’ll need all the minutes they can get to further develop. That is also, it says here, selling Okafor short -- that all he can be is a stats hunter on a bad team.

 

But the Sixers also don’t want to add any salary to get Okafor off the books. They have every intention of extending forward Robert Covington as soon as they are able -- Nov. 15 -- and aren’t going past that in new expenditures this season. But teams are asking Philly to take back more salary in exchange for Okafor’s now expiring $4.9 million contract.

 

And, if it doesn’t work with Chicago or Atlanta, there aren’t a lot of obvious other places the Sixers could send him. A lot of solid and/or promising teams like Charlotte, New Orleans (which had interest in the past in Okafor) and Detrtoit are over the cap and perilously close to the tax threshold, and no one is going to go over it to take a chance that Okafor might be better than he showed in Philly. And good teams already paying the tax this season are obviously not in the mix.

I had forgotten that luol deng even existed.

Kris Dunn has been absolutely dreadful so far. I'm not seeing anything competent out of him.

Bledsoe traded to the Bucks

Impressive, should be a boost to their awful bench play. I think they are now a legit threat to reach the ECF, especially if they could get anything from Parker by playoff time.

Defensively he is very competent.

Greg Monroe and a late first. Great deal for Bucks. I don't know why, I hate jason kidd as a man, but I'm kinda happy for the bucks.

There seems to be plenty of reasons out there.

Lmao at the Sixers asking for a pick. For someone they avoid playing and didn't pick up the option for.

 

They can get Portis or Payne and be happy.

And everyone knows they want to move him. That is a death knell in the NBA.

And he's shown nice burst...poor finishing around the rim, but I can see potential. He just isn't a good enough passer though and that is a problem, given his size. Our PG's suck.
