Face it, none of the deals anyone has talked about involving either of those 2 really make sense for the other teams.

 

That is true, I just hate how this current Bulls front office really haven't done a good job.... We lucked into Drose and Noah. Wish they could do something to put this team in a better position for future given Rose injury.

Which may not even be possible, but it always feels like the Bulls lack creativity when it comes to making moves.

 

I feel that if the Bulls had a GM like KW, they would do more things. Maybe good, maybe bad, but at least not the status quo.

The cap makes it so much more difficult in that league.

 

Plus 1/2 the size rosters mean fewer players can be dealt in the first place.

Listen. I'm not going to make this warning more then once. If people want to talk at TalkBulls they can, if they don't, they don't have to. This thread is open for discussion of all NBA related things (Bulls or Non Bulls).

 

Anymore discussion or this self moderation, everyone go here, needs to be cut-out. Soxtalk is what it is and it has great sports discussion (not just baseball). If people want to talk about the Bulls in this thread, then they are 100% entitled to do so (and no one should tell them otherwise).

 

I think Jason was hacked guys.

And no real minor league system.

Apparently, Jared Sullinger has "bulging dicks".

Am I the only one that thinks Bradley Beal being called a sharpshooter is laughable? 77% FTs, 34% 3P? Wouldn't a guy being compared to Ray Allen at least shoot better than average in something?

 

He's compared to Ray Allen yet Allen shot over 40% from 3 all 3 years of college and shot at least 35% from 3 every year of his pro career. In other words he was never as mediocre as Beal.

Warriors are probably going to take Barnes at 7.

Just got home, biggest surprise is Robinson falling to 5.

 

Now some surprise from the Raptors.

Pretty much everyone admits that he didn't shoot as well as his reputation in college. His other comp is Eric Gordon, who had some struggles at Indiana as well (yeah, he had a wrist injury for an excuse, but still).

Who plays PG for Hornets?

 

I always felt Rivers was more SG

Yeah. Rivers+Gordon= second ball needed. I don't get it since they can match on Gordon and he's a better player.

Meyers at 11, he could be a steal.

Wow, the Hornets got Rivers and Davis. Nice draft for them.

I don't think Gordon wants to be in NO. They could trade him.

They may only win 30 games but NO could be fun to watch. I'm not high on Rivers but when you draft him and Davis, that's quality.

I thin I like Lamb as a SG more than Rivers.

They'd have to trade him for it to make any sense. Even then, I'm not a big Rivers fan and I think they'd have to spend a fair amount to get to the league minimum.

 

Chad Ford's take on River from a Grantland article:

 

Here's my knock on Rivers. He thinks he's Kobe. He's not. He doesn't have the length, the height, nor the athletic ability. Take those things away from Kobe, and he's Ricky Davis — an irritating ball hog no one wants to play with and who isn't good enough to warrant the diva act...

 

Lillard is a willing passer. Rivers isn't and will never be. Lillard made dramatic improvements from year to year. I thought Rivers was the exact player in college that he was in high school. Lillard is a team player. He was the second most efficient player in college basketball DESPITE being the only decent player on his entire roster; teams game planned to stop him and him alone every night. I just don't see Rivers ever being anywhere near as unselfish or efficient. I think Rivers will be shocked at the athleticism and length at his position. He'll try to do the same things at which he excelled in high school, spend a lot of time on the bench, get into it with his coach and teammates, get traded in a year or two to a desperate team, put up huge numbers for a cellar-dweller for a year or two, make some money, and eventually, teams will realize he can't be the alpha dog on a winning team.

 

 

 

 

If he was Austin Smith, he wouldnt have been picked that high.

 

Marshall to PHX.

You have to believe that the Rockets did not think they would actually have to make all these picks.

76ers draft another player who is exactly the same as all of the other players they have.

 

What the hell.

Yeah, very odd. Even if you trade Iguodala, you still have Turner and Young. I have no idea why they don't take a shot at Jones. Yeah, it's risky, but they need to try to get an impact big if they're going to get anywhere.

Wow White went high.

 

And exactly 76ers relied on Hawes, there are some okay big men in this draft, what are you doing.

I had this secret hope White would fall to the bulls and theyd take him.

I wonder if he could swing to Orlando in a Howard trade.
