Do we have any picks left to trade?

POR 1st (lottery protected through 2028), then the next 1st they can trade is 2027 I believe.  They don't own a 2nd round pick until 2028 either.

What are you basing this on? He was an all star last year and is owed $70 million+ over the next two years. He hasn’t seen a meaningful reduction in minutes played or games played over the past few years. Has he made mention of retiring (very possible that he has and I missed it)? Otherwise this post doesn’t make much sense to me.

He’s hinted since Milwaukee won the title that he might walk away from basketball.  He seems to be one of those different kind of athletes who doesn’t need to play until he’s washed up.

While he was with the Pels, he took off the first few months of the season to be with his wife who was going through chemotherapy.  He’s a smart, different kind of dude.

Makes sense. Didn’t know any of that.

I guess I'm the only one who instantly thought of Andre 3000 and started hearing "Hey Ya" playing in their head

I'm with the folks that went right to Jermaine Stewart:

I'd be willing to put money down that Jimmy Butler is way into anime, because that whole thing had massive Weeb vibes.

This is some "Metta World Peace" level horsefeathers

Jimmy Butler is just channeling his inner Dennis Rodman

It might be over for the rest of the league

It seriously looks like when you’d create a character in NBA Live and you’d make him as tall as possible but max out his speed and athleticism

There isn’t a Bulls thread yet.

“A team that's easy to root for is acceptable here and the Bulls have plenty of good guys. They have fun in the locker room after wins and seem to get along really well. 
This is all good news for the marketing department. The Bulls are solid subjects for entertaining all-access videos posted on the YouTube channel, with breakout viral moments like DeRozan playing quarterback at the Tennessee Titans training facility.”

It's still bewildering to me how a player with a great jump shot can't hit a lick of 3s in this day and age. 

 

Sure looks like Jerry doesn't give a horsefeathers if his team can compete for rings with the juggernauts that are in the league. Good camaraderie FTW lol
