We all know nothing is going to happen.

 

right, and "Bulls trade Gasol to avoid luxury tax penalty" isn't really making me tingle all over.

Outside of the Cubs, the Bulls are my least favorite team. I like them, I'll root for them, but they are ran by morons.

That's crazy, I love the bulls. This year has killed me. For 5 years I had a frustrating team that had a talent for delivering giant-killing performances but was never good enough. And I was fatigued by that and thought it was annoying.

 

This year taught me what annoying really was, being basically the 2000-2009 milwaukee bucks.

Provide a link, that's all we ask. Pay or no pay, but especially pay. I provided the link to the article he posted in full

Why in the world would the Kings want Gasol?

 

Am I missing something?

I worry that even though Gasol plays 15 fee out often, it would still end up pushing Boogie farther out rather than give him more room.

That's not why they'd do it. They'd do it to acquire Mclemore and a potential lottery pick.

Ownership wants to make the playoffs

Rumor out there that the Bulls are discussing Jahlil Okafor with 76ers. I have no idea who the Bulls could trade other than Butler to net Okafor.

If I would say there is a zero percent chance of the Bulls getting Okafor, would it be considered too optimistic?

That makes no sense to me as they have no shot of getting out of the first round if they even make it at all.

If the Bulls could net Okafor without giving up Butler, I'd be ECSTATIC.

 

It won't happen though.

I would bet my life savings* that the Bulls couldn't pull off something that bold.

Please no Okafor, just no. He's a volume player, empty carbs. Puts up numbers, but not gonna help you win, especially in today's NBA.

Bulls get Okafor, McLemore and Bellinelli

 

Kings get Pau Gasol

 

76ers get Nikola Mirotic, Doug McDermott, the kings 1st rounder which they agree to unprotect, and Bulls 1st rounder. That gives them up to 6 first round draft picks, lol.

I agree, but the guy's still a rookie. If you can turn Niko, Gasol, and Snell into Okafor, that'd be one hell of a trade.

I want no part of Okafor. He's pretty awful on defense, he isn't a good rebounder, and he's slow.

 

I can buy that the 76ers are shopping him though if they think Embiid is coming back.

Why would the Kings do that deal? They'd essentially get half a season of Gasol for McLemore, Bellinelli, and a draft pick, no?

The Bulls own the draft pick. You can put back the rwstriction although I dont think itll matter anyways. McLemore and Bellinelli for Gasol wouldn't be bad for them.

I'm told Bulls and Kings still discussing potential trade: Pau Gasol and Tony Snell for Kosta Koufas and Ben McLemore

I have to believe some of this is exasperated by being on PHI.

 

That said, Okafor does not sound like the player that works in Hoiberg's offense.

But the thing about that is that we don't run Hoiberg's offense, so that point becomes moot
