August 27, 20214 yr Good shit by AKME. I hope these picks don't expire / hope the first doesn't turn into a second.
August 27, 20214 yr Author ...I am not sure I understand that Denver protection...is that saying it should only convey to chicago if it is specifically a better 2nd rounder?
August 27, 20214 yr Larry Nance would have been a nice fit on this team, but we really need the draft picks.

August 27, 20214 yr Bulls still have the BAE + Theis exception. This is after adding, since the trade deadline: Vuc, Ball, DeRozan, Caruso, Brown Jr., Green, Jones Jr., Ayo, and Bradley. Dear lord is this what it's like to have a real front office that knows how to work with the cap?

Super thin on bigs unless they plan to give Simonovic good minutes right away.

Maybe this is they are so confident of their success they need the pick and this allowed them to "give something" they are likely to keep for a few years.
August 27, 20214 yr When was the last time 2 former dunk champions were on the same team? never? Gonna be fun watching Lonzo throw lobs to this guy.

I feel like they are going to move him at some point. I dont know anything about NBA salary cap stuff, but I always feel like expiring contracts have some sort of value.
August 28, 20214 yr The thing to watch is what does the Bulls front office do with those picks. They have 2 first round picks and I have to think if the team plays well and a star comes available those are in serious play (pairing with others). Pretty excited to see what this team actually looks like. Lavine is so darn likeable - I really am hoping they can take that step up.

Pretty excited to see what this team actually looks like. Lavine is so darn likeable - I really am hoping they can take that step up. I think it would be hard because they’d have to draft at least one of those picks for the other team right? I think trading for a star may be tough, getting one to sign more likely unless they swap out a Vuc for a bigger star
August 29, 20214 yr Nance would have been a good get IMO, but I can appreciate acquiring a 1st after sending so many out. Pretty outstanding return for a guy everyone knew wasn't a long term piece.

September 1, 20214 yr Author Got tickets to see the first game vs. the sixers. Excited for this year.
September 3, 20214 yr Bulls got a chance at Aldridge? He played with DeRozan, so there's that, but I'm guessing he would want to chase a ring.

The thing I liked about chasing millsap is I was under the impression he can still defend pretty well, aldridge was a pretty big defensive liability at the end for the spurs. There aren't a lot of options left that scream out but no option really screams out anymore so gonna have a scout pick.

I think Vanderbilt from wolves wouldn’t be a horrible choice as a runner up. More upside but obviously more risk. I do think good shot Aldridge ends up on roster if he does play.

September 7, 20214 yr Alize Johnson it is. Doesn't have great size but that boy can rebound. Had a 20/20 game last year. Gotta have some talent to do that. Love that he made a Rodman post on Twitter when he found out he's coming here..... Probably the best forward available right now. I dig it. Lots of versatility on this team.

Nah, this is Jimmy Butler.
