chw42 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Dieng and Sexton are expiring. I'll have to see how good the 3 2nds are. I guess in aggregate, maybe they're like a 1st round pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Unless there is a move where they can flip Sexton and Simons somewhere for a productive player or 1st round picks, this is literally just reshuffling the cards they already had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't getting first rounders for Coby White with him being a UFA, plus his injuries and bad play this season. The time to trade him was in the offseason or last deadline. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expiring contract - clearly the market wasn't there. They are getting an interesting RFA (who was a pretty young lotto pick and maybe has some longer term upside) plus the 2nd rounders. For years AKME ruined this thing - but right now - I'm quite pleased with what I'm seeing. No one is looking for roster fit - but they are finding ways to ensure they retain more assets and flexibility, whether swapping UFAs for RFA's or buying picks (and ultimately turning that into a pretty solid upside flyer in Ivey). Bottom line - this isn't a good team by any stretch and roster construction (in terms of on court match) isn't what they seem to be going with. But they have TONS of flexibility at this point and without a big, they seem to be in a path to tank. The other piece is - Charlotte is right behind the Bulls - so this helps the tank. I caveat - Bulls could always leverage that flexibility and swing for a star or two. I have zero faith in this front office - but the pure isolation of what is happening the past few days, is refreshing and seems to actually make sense. Unfortunately it is following a 7 year run (or however long it was) of being absolute garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good one this time though. The Bulls are both boring & bad and have been stuck in NBA hell for a long ass time. Wave that flag and start tanking.

Chicago White Sox Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I’m actually blown away at just how bad AKME are being NBA front office executives. Like the basic principle for any front office is to buy low and sell high and we continually wait to deal players when there value is at an all time low. And all for the hope of a play-in game appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I wouldnt hate a push for Ja. A lot of risk, but this team has no other hope. Don't you pay Billy to be this culture setter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
