Bucks are in the final stage of collapse but still got enough to steamroll this Bulls team on their way to oblivion.

Bulls saved the Celtics 20 million dollars, seems like that should have equalled a first round pick. The second will be a good one from New Orleans but still think they should have gotten a first.

Every other GM has to know they can push around AK.

what the horsefeathers are they doing

AK apparently wants all the 2nd round picks

If you hoard all the guards, there won't be any left for the other teams.

That's just science!

JR is gonna be so flush with cash after selling all those second rounders off too

This has been a valid question since what?  The Rose injury?

[WrigleyField 22]

Collect sell out crowds and corporate suites

Sell second round picks for cash

Profit handsomely

Big picture is they're giving up on this year to stock picks and cap space to actually try something different, which is frankly a welcome change.

Who knows how well it'll work.

I love that the Hornets traded Dieng before he was even formally announced as being traded there from OKC.

2031 2nd round picks have about as much value as a certificate for name-a-star registration.

Hey!  My Dad told us he absolutely loved that gift for Christmas all those years back.

You have to admire the strategy of "this team sucks, so let's trade literally all of them away"

[Tryptamine]

Quite literally half the team is traded and I feel 0% better about the current team and all the additional picks than I did about the original horsefeathers show of a team.

They will probably still make the play in game and pick right in the same position they normally do.  There is money to spend in free agency, but nobody worth spending it on will actually come here.  I'm glad AK finally did "something," but I'm not confident that they have made and progress toward escaping NBA hell.

It's kind of hilarious the Bulls are playing in Toronto tomorrow night.  Are they going to be able to get enough players there for the game?

Still several hours of trade deadline left to fill out the roster.

ayo traded to minnesota. can't wait to see what they didn't get

[17 Seconds]

another bad return

[Irrelevant Dude]

No horsefeathers way they traded Ayo and didn't get any first round picks.

Can someone who understands this better than me explain wtf they're going to do with the 7 2nd round picks they've picked up this week?

Nothing.  Good teams don't care about 2nd round picks.
