Haven't agreed with you much in this thread but I will be super pissed if we draft Adams.

 

Meh, it wouldn't be the worst pick at 19. Looking at a few different drafts if they go SG with the 2nd pick it probably comes down to Adams, Hairston, and Young. Adams was the most efficient of those scorers, and he's got great length (6'5" w/ 6'10 reach, Oladipo had a 6'9" reach).....I'm not sure how much stock to put into college PER, but his 28.7 ranks 5th in the draft class.

It'd be an awful pick. He won't be able to score in the NBA.

He's still owed $15 million this year and is a free agent next year. The Rockets got the 2 cheap years out of him and someone else is paying the expensive year, and the rockets get a first rounder on top of that. They were able to sign Howard in no small part because Asik's first 2 years were cheap.

 

Imagine the Bulls rework Gibson's contract so he's free this year, a max level next year, and the Bulls trade him for a first round pick and use that money to sign Anthony, have Gibson play for peanuts this year and contribute, and then trade Gibson away next year with the other team taking on the full salary for both seasons.

 

I swear i heard on the radio yesterday that NBA contracts cannot be reworked like that per the current CBA. You get what you get, players and teams alike

Then why do some drafts even have him in the high 20s?

Mock drafts, made by individuals, just like his opinion.

Fair enough.

Cause everyone has their own opinion. This happens to be mine and I feel pretty strongly about this one.

Thank you Rock.

I find that reasoning about Adams to be specious.

That was just a hypothetical to illustrate why giving up a first round pick for Asik is nuts.

Correct. Unless the player has an opt-out, they can not rework contracts like in the NFL.

If melo and Lebron want to go the west that's fine by me. The bulls as currently constructed would go to the finals every year in that scenario where anything can happen.

1 missed opportunity....

@WojYahooNBA

Orlando is finalizing a trade to send guard Arron Afflalo to the Denver Nuggets, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

So he's going back to the Nuggets...?

Orlando has agreed to send Arron Afflalo to Denver for Evan Fournier and 56th pick in 2014 Draft, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

That's all???

 

Fournier is better than Snell but you'd think Snell/19 might have got it done.....Wouldn't have been against Butler/19 either. That's a bad deal for the Magic IMO.

Wow...that's a terrible deal and it's unimaginable how the Bulls couldn't top it.

I am really going to sit here and say screw you Bulls in a couple weeks. Unbelievably awful. Maybe Orlando is trying to clear cap space and make a run at LBJ / Melo?

Wow...that's a terrible deal and it's unimaginable how the Bulls couldn't top it.

 

Ya this is a deal that I go back to and really hate as a Bulls fan if they don't manage to get Melo/Love/James/Bosh/Parsons.

Exactly. They better have something better up their sleeves. But I don't think anyone should get their hopes up.

And it could be even worse.....

Remember, Arron Afflalo was being mentioned as a piece that Denver wanted to acquire to improve their Kevin Love offer. This could be big.

So the stage is now set for the Bulls to fully strike out this summer. Awesome.

And it could be even worse.....

 

f*** YOU GARPAX. f*** YOU.

f*** YOU GARPAX. f*** YOU.

 

I've been optimistic this whole time, but I'm starting to get a little worried....

I have had little reason for optimism. Lebron wont be coming here. Melo... i have high doubts. Love, no idea.

Wow that's horrible.

Frankly for those that though the Bulls were going to get things done without an issue, you've set yourself up for disappointment. The Bulls can only do so much. Players have to want to come here.

 

For example, Melo, say there's a sign and trade possibility. If Houston offers Harden, Lin and someone else, what can the Bulls offer that would be better than that? Nothing. Done. End of story.

 

Who can the Bulls offer that's better than Thompson for Love? No one.
