Well Ball is unofficially officially a Bull

 

Sato, Temple and a 2nd-rounder going to NO in the deal apparently

 

Leave things open to use Lauri in another S&T....like with the Spurs

Have fun with that. He’s definitely improved his outside shooting, but he’ll follow up a good night with an 0 for whatever regularly. His calling card is defense, but that hasn’t always shown up. I’m glad to move on. He’s like a really poor pan’s Ben Simmons.

Lauri, Thad, and White still available as trade assets...

 

Lets go AK.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd rather not trade White. He's only two years out of college and is still pretty damn young. He's blocked from starting at the 1 & 2 spots now, but I think he'd be a great spark off the bench. Now, if he could bring back a really solid young wing, then go for it. I just don't know if that's possible.

Bulls need D.

Between Ayo and the reported Rose interest and now Ball confirmed, just seems like a decent trade chip. They need another wing.

he'll be a giant star (beyond what his talent dictates) in chicago if he plays well and i trust billy to coach him up--i'm excited

lonzo is a massive improvement over coby and a much better fit with the team

 

He's not a great pick and roll point guard so I can understand why NOLA might be down on him as he's not a perfect fit with Zion. But the Bulls don't necessarily need a PnR point guard.

Yeah, he never really was that pick and roll guy. Great kid and I hope he’s a star, but he does have his limitations.

Unless you traded White for pennies on the dollar, Rose didn't make sense once Ball was acquired.

 

Get a role player on the wing who can shoot and see what can happen.

 

I'm actually excited to see this team on a fast break as well as Williams with a PG. I know I said he was likely a role player rather than an impact player but last year didn't give him a chance to perform well and it wasn't his fault.

-- post edited in obvious way

 

My feel for what salaries should be vs what they are is so out of whack. How does this guy earn $9M a year? He seems no better than a complete end of the bench guy. Arch had slightly better stats than Caruso last year. (not sure what I saw earlier, but I definitely misread it. Caruso is somewhat similar in efficiency, but significantly higher use)
