These reports can't be 100% accurate.

 

They seem to be all over the place.

That is a joke for the Bulls. Love it for OKC.

It's Cam Payne, Morrow, and Joffrey for Taj, McDermott and 2nd rounder.

Ok, that's fine.

Mike McGraw: Payne+Lauvergne+Morrow for Taj/Doug/2nd round pick. I see no reason why the hell we would give up a pick. Utterly stupid. Could always use it on a euro guy you want to stash for a few years. Doug was a disasterous move (revisionist history but man...giving up all those picks for him and getting very little back in return). I'd have asked for the 2022 1st round pick OKC could have offered. At least it looks like Payne is coming cause there is some small chance he could break out and become a useful player. Lauvergine is better then Doug...not great, but solid bench guy. We undersold on Taj / Doug though.

Just sign Jack and Bynum now and I will go to every home game

The Bulls throwing in the pick and not OKC makes it even more laughable.

I actually don't hate it. 1st rounder wasn't coming in return. They can miss the playoffs and trade Jimmy in June.

Why would the Bulls do this? And dear god was McDermott a bust

The trade the Bulls swung to get Doug McDermott a few years ago just looks awful now. 2 1st rounders and 3 2nd rounders to make it happen.

 

It's Cam Payne, Morrow, and Joffrey for Taj, McDermott and 2nd rounder.

Giving up the 2nd round pick is just dumb. This brings back some visions of when the Sox gave up Tatis Jr. for James freaking Shields. It is just unnecessary. Not comparing a 2nd round pick to Tatis Jr, but still, totally unnecessary. Good god...we have given up massive amounts of picks in relation to Doug. Freaking awful.

Now what happens with Niko? Presume they are standing pat?

I dont get that at all. I really hope everyone in the front office gets cleaned out

So Payne will come in, be the first guy off the bench for a couple of games, then not play for a week, then someone will get hurt and he will,start....and we wonder why all the bench guys suck.

Windhosrst reporting that Morrow is not a part of the trade.

LOL.

 

Can't wait for Portis to show off how expendable he is.

Taj Gibson turns 32 soon. Who the f*** expected any value for him?

Yes. Just like Denzel and others. The coaching staff has done no favors from a player development perspective. KC is reporting that Bobby Portis will take on the starting role (if Taj is dealt). Somewhere you need to actually evaluate these recent young players and give them consistent minutes to do so (Denzel should be part of this conversation). I still can't fathom why Grant plays so much (he is clearly bad).

Confirming others: Bulls trade McDermott, Gibson and possible '18 2nd round pick to Thunder for Lauvergne, Payne and Morrow.

LOL.

If that happens...at least you know. I have zero faith in the coaching staff to develop anyone (unless they are just a transcendent star).

Taj Gibson turns 32 soon. Who the f*** expected any value for him?

 

He had been expendable as an asset for quite some time though. Remember how we couldn't dare part with Tajy for Melo. That we got him for two unsuccessful years and then trade him for back roster fodder is just such a great example of the mismanagement and lack of creativity of this awful front office.

"possible" must mean it's conditional

Play the kids. This is it, right? Or is Okafor coming in a last minute deal centered around Portis, Denzel, Niko?

Yes, this is classic Bulls. Same group of clowns who couldn't part with Tyrus for prime Pau.

Thank you Taj for all that you brought to the Bulls during your career. I will always root for you and remember your time in Chicago fondly!!! Class act. TAJ!!!!

This trade is beyond terrible. Why'd they give up the pick? It's not like any of the players we're getting back are better than Taj.
