It sure looks like an uneventful summer for the Bulls.

This.

He couldn't even hold his starting position over Raul Neto. He literally excels at nothing at the NBA level. I'll pass.

I still see a Taj trade going down. Hopefully they get some value for him, and it's not a straight salary dump.

Lopez, Niko, Portis, and Felicio up front should be fine for just 1 year while you figure out what the young guys can do.

Adams & Horford will be a good front court and with Durant(If they able to keep him.), and Westbrook that is a nice team not that it wasn't nice the begin with but you know what I mean lol.

Rumors saying Chicago will be saving money for 2017 is stupid to me, there are 4 superstars up for grabs next summer. KD, russ, blake and curry. And in no way will we be a top destination for any of those guys by next year, unless Niko or Doug become all stars this season or something crazy like that.

Dont overspend for a role guy (barnes), but if you find a player that doesnt break the bank and fills a need then sign him. Cap space is not an asset when everyone has it Gar.

jc23 · Post #529 » by **jc23** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 7:50 am

guys i like that might be in our price range Etwaun, Ramon sessions, gerald henderson, Afflalo, loul, marvin williams, delly, augustin, gerald green, brandon jennings. Again, if its on a fair deal, im not looking to pay star player salary to role players. Like its my money lol.

Give me B.Jennings or DJ Augustin
and
Matt Barnes or Marvin Williams
on 1yr or 2yr deals

These idiots in FO,GarPax are Bulls destroyers last decade?! they cant do nothing right...

CONLEY should be priority,but we dont even have a meeting with him!

The only signing that makes any sense Price/Performance is Conley.
A guy that could help a lot immediately, without breaking the bank.

Don't forget the addition of Oladipo.

Adams/Horford/Durant/Oladipo/Westbrook

That would certainly make the Thunder favorite to come out the West.

Conely will most likely get the max.

Salary dump of Kanter I presume? Should we be in the running on that? I'd think yes.

Gar/pax have deluded themselves into thinking doug/niko/Hoiberg are some new Era stars....and are going to run this team into the ground to prove it.

jc23 · Post #536 » by **jc23** » Thu Jun 30, 2016 9:43 am

Just to be clear Conley at the max is a bad deal as well imo, unless your a team that already has multiple stars and a borderline all star point is all that separates you from being a contender.

Nope, offense only is what we already had. Besides, Lopez is our center and a much better and cheaper one.

What is the BIG DEAL ABOUT FA 2017 CLASS ANYWAY????

We wont get any of these,maybe Griffin ,but thats it.. Westbrook, Curry NO WAY,they would come to Chicago.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is restricted anyway...

Chris Paul, Gordon Hayward , Andre Igoudala maybe one of those

its why its really in the Bulls best interest to either trade Jimmy and Lopez or sign some quality players this summer. Either be terrible or be good enough to make a run at the playoffs. My guess is ownership wants that playoff revenue so i see us signing 2 more rotation guys. The key is to make sure you sign them to contracts that are moveable if need be.

Hassan Whiteside should be our #1 target...package Lopez in a deal with Taj
