New Benny, and Other changes (Bulls offseason)

[bcl412]

I get being ready to move on but i don't feel hatredor anything. He gave me lots of good memories I'll miss. Its whatever though

[Cubswin11]

What good player do the Warriors need to dump to sign Durant?

They don't if they let Ezili and Barnes leave via FA. If they kept 1 or the other then Bogut would probably be the guy to go.

[Cubswin11]

I'm guessing the Knicks go after Gasol/Noah and then the Deng's, Bazemore's, Williams of FA. Congrats on the 4/5 seed, NY and a 2nd round exit!

How many of their own picks do they even own? Tanking ain't so attractive when youre already out of the game every other year for foreseeable future.

HAHAHAHAHA

Jesus, Rose is such a weird dude.

 

Yeah, I feel no joy in this though it had to happen and the Bulls are better off for it. I just kinda mourn the last 5-6 years of extremely disappointing and lost years. And to be relevant again they're gonna have to have at least a couple more.

This actually looks like a pretty decent trade for the Bulls. Lopez is probably a similar player to current Noah, but healthier and not as good of a passer. Grant is a nice get. He has good size on the wing (6'5"), and when his minutes doubled in the last month of the season, he put 14.5 PPG, about 4 rebs, 4 assists, and shot 49% from the field at 37% from 3. Calderon is pointless, but also mostly harmless.

 

Of course, this probably isn't good if you want the Bulls to tank. Still probably a team that can compete for one of the last 2 seeds in the East, or they could be a late lottery team like this year.

It was a Butler to Miami in a 3 way trade with Toronto fake Woj tweet.

Fake Woj bomb saying that the Bulls were in advanced discussions on a 3 way trade with Toronto and Miami to send Jimmy Butler to the Heat. For a brief second I thought 'wow the Bulls are actually going to strip down and completely rebuild'

[David]

Woj shocked the Bulls got as much as they did for Rose.

So should I be expecting anything exciting leading up tho the draft. I've really fallen off following nba draft prospects at all. I think the McDermott year was the last I sort of did.

I wouldn't expect anything. There's a chance the Bulls could move up into the 5-8 range. But Dunn likely is gone by then. I can see Taj being dealt in a move up or for an extra pick. Guess its conceivable Mirotic COULD be dealt, but I don't see it.

 

MDJ or Snell could be included in anything for salary or for a 2nd, I guess.

 

If by some chance Jimmy gets dealt, I'd look at the best bet being Boston at 3 or Minnesota at 5 grabbing Dunn and then offering more.

 

That said, its a weak draft and its probably likely we stand pat and draft at 14.

rose is gonna take his talents to Manhattan beach park, win 2 championships, and then come back and win us 1, right?

There are reports the Bulls are set to pick Wade Baldwin if available at 14. Look up his NBA comps and you will see.........Spencer Dinwiddie

Dammit, how do they leave Grant Hill out?

[David]

Because Grant Hill never played for the Knicks.

Wade Baldwin is a name so white that I knew he wasn't going to end up being white before I googled him.

The connection is that they were all former star PGs that busted out and then the Knicks acquired them.

Specifically PG for the Knicks. Also I don't think it's strictly an injury thing, otherwise I'd put McGrady over Marbury.

 

Stylistically or expectation wise Penny doesn't fit as well as the others either.

Ah, now I see; I completely forgot Penny ended up on the Knicks. I thought it was just dudes who were awesome and then got sidetracked by injuries, though Marbury wouldn't make sense either way.
