June 30, 20223 yr I don't even like Bamba that much, I actually think Hartenstein is the best free agent center. But Bamba seems like a way better guy to get than Gallinari. That's how bad I think Gallinari is.
June 30, 20223 yr Author Hartenstein is the obvious best option. Sad to see Bulls avoiding tax...they committed to tax with lavine imo. Gallinari is fine as a second unit player, would be a good pickup.

I understand AKME probably have some limitations put on them by ownership to not go into the tax (yet), but if what's rumored is going to be the moves they'll make, it's pretty disappointing. Last off-season was very creative, but we also had a ton of assets to work with. Right now, not so much. But I was still hoping they'd pull something out of their ass.

That said I remember going in thinking we'd be in on ball, but I don't really remember thinking bulls would go after derozan or even caruso until it happened. They had more options last year though, but they are mostly trades. And it still seems like bulls gossip comes from everywhere else aside from the bulls.
June 30, 20223 yr Possible 2-way? Here's a draft profile from a Pistons site. Apparently he had a good 3 point shot in college: https://www.detroitbadboys.com/2022/6/22/23170244/2022-nba-draft-john-butler-jr
June 30, 20223 yr With the depth they have at the guard position, they gotta be looking at backup 3 and as far as shooting goes, Galinari is probably the best option. I don't know where they fit in a guard with all they already have.

June 30, 20223 yr For someone who doesn’t understand NBA assets and contracts, is there any conceivable way the Bulls could put together a package good enough to get him?

The answer to this is if Kevin Durant wants to go to Chicago it will happen, because the brooklyn nets will want a super star in the future and they will not want to be the first team that prevents him. But yeah. Salary wise it works. The Bulls then are severely limited in draft picks, and essentially would be able to trade the portland pick (not very valuable) and then would need to send off picks in 2027, 2029, etc.

There's a picture on the interwebs of Dalen playing with KD which is mildly interesting. Idk what the circumstances were. Lol. I feel like there's no shot, unless Brooklyn is high on Williams.
June 30, 20223 yr If they acquired KD for that package, I sure hope they'd swap Vuc ASAP for useful defensive parts. I'd much prefer to send Vuc to BKN over DD, but the value and appeal would be far lower on their end.
June 30, 20223 yr I am just going say this outloud, but this is why we got AK in here. It's time to sell the hell out of Chicago and do everything possible to recruit KD. I am sure the Bulls won't be the in the game, but for the first time since MJ left, they can be in the game.

I was thinking this. My first instinct was to think there is now way this type of move would happen for the Bulls but AK and Eversley was supposed to bring this very type of thing to the Bulls. Last off season the tenor around the league with the players seem to suggest that guys were now open to this franchise again. I guess we shall see now. They need to make it happen. Whatever it takes.
June 30, 20223 yr Author If I'm the Nets I'd want Derozan but you are correct that with Vuc you have an expiring.

I also technically think that Lavine and Durant are relatively close (not sure if close is the right term but I feel like they have hung out during their Olympic time and have generally been very complimentary of each other).
