WhiteSox2023 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) 1 hour ago, Chisoxfn said: Exactly - it’s now or never. His value won’t be any higher except maybe in his final year when he is an expiring… Matas has a career game today. They need lottery luck. Cooper would change the whole dynamic! Does the NBA even care enough about the Bulls these days to fix the draft in their favor again like the Derrick Rose draft lottery? 1.7% chance… Edited February 5 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 9 hours ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Joe Cowley (I know he sucks) is reporting that two potential Vuc trades have fallen through and it’s possible that he isn’t traded by Thursday’s deadline. Annoyingly, there were reports from earlier in the year that they were turning down second rounders cause they were holding out for a first. AKME just can't help but overvalue their guys. Never sold high on DeMar or AC, gave Pat an unearned extension, clinging to Vuc for dear life, didn't trade Drummond and then let him walk.

Well, the Warriors have stopped pursuing KD so the Bulls just started looking better. (This strategy is still dumb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I don't hate having Lonzo, but I'd rather have assets and tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I prefer assets - but I will admit that Lonzo is a really good player and probably the type of guy that makes it easier to develop younger players around him. What did they pay him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 2yrs 20M total - that is a deal I can get on board with. Seems like the type of move that if it backfires and his leg blows up, it doesn't break the cap, but if it works out and he has a good full season and trends the right way - he helps other players, but at the same time, he probably has real upside as a trade asset depending on where they are in the rebuild.

What did they pay him? 2 years, $20M. In all honesty, it's a great deal if (massive if) Lonzo stays healthy. He brings a vet presence and if they continue to suck, can still be traded. But god they need to trade Vuc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr will make it work...maybe. "The Warriors closed the deal for Butler after negotiations to acquire Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant ended when he informed the team he did not want to return to Golden State, sources said. The Warriors, Heat and Suns had been nearing an agreement on a trade that would've landed Butler in Phoenix and Durant back where he won championships in 2017 and 2018." espn.com Edited February 6 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 So is the Doncic-Davis trade as one-sided as everybody's saying? Is it an attempt by Silver to make the Lakers good forever? There's a lot of yapping on X about how the NBA ratings are terrible and Whitlock says the WNBA soon will pass the NBA in fan interest. Or is Davis good enough to help Dallas win it all? All the chatter I've heard/read suggests the Lakers have pulled off the steal of the century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
