I am pretty sure at this point Bulls are just getting their ducks in a row on value, but if they did that you'd have to assume it's for Wiseman.

AK is a boss, you know he's either legit having these discussions or just leaking them but to see the Bulls appear to be aggressive is so refreshing.  I don't care who they choose tonight, I'm trusting the process.  If he can do this somewhere like Denver, he can do it here.

My thoughts exactly. Im not sure I really am a huge fan of that trade but if they think Wiseman is a potential star then you roll the dice.

I hate this as a huge Wendell fan, but I'm willing to give the new front office the benefit of the doubt.

That being said, the Bulls are now tied to Deni, have promised Williams the #4 pick, and are trading up to #2 ... so, who knows.

Today's mocks seem to indicate the top 3 is starting to establish itself with edwards -> wiseman -> ball without trades. And with that, writers seem to all be picking Deni for the bulls. 

I don't know, I think I'd like Patrick Williams.

This draft kinda sucks, and maybe he's the Giannis of the 13 draft.

I'm the inverse. I'm kind of over Wendell.  He may become pretty good - but he's been so injury prone.  I'm also 100% okay if the Bulls just want to slow play this and evaluate the squad this year, with their own coaching staff and development staff and than start making moves around the deadline once they have a much better idea of who this team is, etc.  

I kind of expect the Bulls to move down, unless Ball is there. I do think they like Ball a lot.

I like Wendell too so id rather not give up on him. 

I personally am fine with Toppin / Deni.

I would rather not take Ball. I could be completely wrong but I think you let someone else deal with that potential mess.

I'm just not in love with any of the top players in this draft enough to give up on Wendell with new coaches and trainers.

I think my ideal draft would be trade down to 8 and get the knicks 23rd pick. Select Williams, Vassel or Halliburton at 8 and then Bolmaro, Anthony, Malochi Flynn (if wing picked at ? or would be really sweet if Pokusevski fell.

I will not give up on any of the Bulls players as "injury prone" until we see them with a professional training staff.

Yep, that's why I had the second pick around 23. Bulls could send them their second this year since they already have a pretty full roster.

not surprising. Nobody knows what AK is going to do but they may guess.

 

 

 

Presti gets even more picks but takes on an awful al horford contract

That is a really good move. Type of move Bulls should have done the last 3 years.  

Rumors on Twitter that it's his right Achilles but I won't speculate. Prayers up for Klay.

I can't wait to overreact to what the Bulls do and ultimately be fine with it down the road.

NBA: The pick is in.

ESPN: We're five minutes away.

I have a strange feeling the Bulls could still trade for Wiseman. 

Top 3 goes as expected. Now it gets interesting starting with the Bulls.

 

It's Williams.
