They can trade them later for money to build equity with ownership.

I already have several Cubs fans saying "this will be to pay for Machado, huh!?"

I hate Cubs fans.

It's almost like the Bulls and White Sox have the same owner.

Oh wait...

Gonna be sick

Until the bottom line starts hurting, Gar has a job for life and that fucking sucks.

Young teams stink for a long time. I said it a long time ago, tanking won't be fun and it isn't easy, but I still believe they are collecting assets, but I'm less optimstic with Lauri not looking as good (not changing my long-term view on him yet and look forward to a larger sample size). I still actually kind of like Boylen too and have zero issue with his move with Wendell.  I'm not going to rehash the whole blow it up arguments either, they went for a rebuild and it takes time. Young teams lose...period. There really aren't many exceptions to that in NBA history. 

Hell, look at OKC with Durant. They won 43 games in Durant's 1st two yeas (and that included a second year with Westbrook).  I won't even talk about Philly.  The Golden State Warriors (yes that dynasty with Curry) won 29, 26, 36, and 23 during Curry's 1st 4 seasons. I won't even get into Philly and the "process" and how long that took.  

Brooks will also be traded. Presume for pretty much nothing, but who knows, maybe another 2nd?  

Who goes next? Parker or Rolo?  I hope Blakeney isn't far behind. No more Payne and Holliday is good. I don't have anything against Holiday but I look forward to getting more minutes to Hutch (for developmental purposes). Plus Holidays takes too many shots away from Lavine / Dunn / WCJ.  He actually is a solid 3&D guy.  

If only we had stopped at the first row.

Bulls gotten Tyson Chandler (not resigned) and Cam Payne from the Elton Brand trade from 20 years ago. Crazy.

Was Butler always an arrogant douche or did this happen over time?

I think when he was first drafted he channeled it in other ways. He's genuinely one player who became an all star by working harder than everyone else - when he had to do that, he was channeling this energy into making himself better. Once he arrived and became that good of a player, he started realizing that the people around him wouldn't go to the levels he did, and that started leading to him becoming more outwardly demanding.

I would replace "outwardly demanding" with "a saboteur".  This is now three separate situations where he has caused issues, we can't blame GarPax for this anymore 

This Bulls game is really interesting. 

WOW... crazy game. Good effort Bulls.

That was fun. Wish it could have kept going.

I dig this latest iteration of the Baby Bulls. Hopefully Hutch finds some confidence

Wait, what?

T-Wolves realized what a lot of us knew a long time ago: Thibs is an all time great defensive tactician.  He is a bad coach.  

Would be shocked if Fred doesn’t end up there
