Casual NBA fan here. How valuable are 2nd round picks even? Seems the Bulls are absolutely drowning in them.

Not overly valuable, but have their uses.  Just funny because the Bulls have for a long been willing to sell them for cash.  So up until right now, the org didn’t find them super valuable.  Now they are like Pokemon and we get catch em all.

The good news is they're only 2.5 games back from the Bucks for the 9th worst record in the league and a 23% chance of a top 4 pick. 

 

This is supposed to be a really good draft. Idk if that's the thought process here or not though....it has to be right? 

 

It'd be pretty ironic if we were all over here dreaming of them going big game hunting only to end up with Carlos Boozers kid.

There's a few angles that make sense. We can argue until we're blue in the face about the timing, and the direction over time, but...

This is a very good draft. They have a shot of being very very bad rest of the year and positioning themselves in a way that they have a shot at an elite player. I think it's a really deep draft too, so 10th might be great.

They're freeing up a ton of cap space, and acquiring a ton of picks (obviously 2nd round picks are basically worth nothing so big gripe here). So they could try and trade for Zion this off-season, say, and sign Austin Reaves while getting a high draft pick. They won't because we're the Bulls, and we're a joke, but it's there for the taking.

Yeah, the trades they made are pretty tough to sell even to the most optimistic of fans, butttt there's a path for a quick reboot. I just wish AK was more clear about that direction ifff tanking is indeed the direction.
