Hello Bulls fans, Knicks fan here running a project on the trades and transactions board:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1342565

Trying to get someone from every fan base indicate their highest valued player on their team, and then a hypothetical deal which they would accept for said player. Currently asking each fan base without an example so far to come help. Thanks in advance!

I've admittedly always overrated Okafor but think he could really help the Cavs, hope he doesn't go there.

No minutes.

All available PF minutes should go to Nikola.
All available C minutes should go to Bairstow.

Any big coming here would likely have to wait for an injury, maybe two, to get decent minutes.

Oh Ronnie...

Prosecutors say former Chicago Bulls forward Ronnie Brewer has been sentenced to probation after pleading no contest to driving drunk in Beverly Hills.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says the 29-year-old Brewer entered the plea to the misdemeanor charge through an attorney Tuesday. Prosecutors had alleged he was driving at about twice the legal blood-alcohol limit when he was pulled over near Rodeo Drive in February.

A judge immediately sentenced Brewer to three years of summary probation and fined him $390. He was also ordered to attend alcohol abuse classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Brewer has played for six NBA teams since the Utah Jazz drafted him in 2006, including two stints with the Bulls, who released him last month.

When are people going to take drink driving seriously? Every time people do it you're putting innocent lives at risk. It's a damn shame that there are too many morons out there who only think about themselves.

Anyone else think Balmer giving Doc another five year deal premature? Really don't see the rationale on that just yet.

I wanted Okafor as well as backup,but honestly - Noah, gibson and Pau all can and will play C spot,also we have Bairstow who can handle 4-5min of C duty as well..

It was more of a 'thank you how you've handled the whole Sterling fiasco' kinda deal

You mean that over the top guy that paid way above market value for the Clippers has now gone again an thrown out an overzealous deal?

Shocked.

And Horford is 6'10, better and played more C.

And Milsap is 6"8, 245, not at all a C...

Not sure how they're all equipped...

Having a big center isn't all that important if he sucks at protecting the rim

Al Horford and Monroe are probably equally as qualified in that role

He really only chose Miami so far and that was when he was in his late 30's

Strange he chose the Warriors, didn't even think of them.

I didn't think of them either, but i think he has made a good decision. If he is looking for a team to get a new deal later on, an up and down team like GS is ideal given his history and fit with the Suns.

Raduljica was decent last year I thought (as a backup). I wouldn't mind picking him up as insurance.

Yeah I agree its a goo fit, also think they will be really fun to watch with Livingston and Barbosa added to the mix.

What the hell Golden State?

Think you have enough offense yet?
Golden State Warriors is the opposite of Chicago Bulls.
