I'm good with having young players, maybe with some upside, be the 12th-15th man. No more Cameron Bairstow types.

I'm glad that we kept Dinwiddie. He has potential to develop into a nice solid player so let's see what happens specially now with Rondo, Wade and Butler to help him.

He'll likely remain with the Bulls throughout the season with Grant either being traded or dropped before season's end.
Why so serious?

With the way the roster's been constructed, we really need Snell to give us something this year. He's our second wing defender.

He has potential, more so than Grant imo. Still has a long way to go though.

This is the type of move that strikes fear into the hearts of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

I think Snell will be waived by playoffs if he doesnt shows any signs of life. Bulls would love to trade him, but he first sucks and second he is FA next summer so you can't. Negative value. But I think we will waive him the moment some good vet shows up in waivers as possible pick up for playoffs.

Like I said before not many people torched Rose in his career. There is potential in Dinwiddie.

Would be great if we could find an upgrade at that time. As far as I know we still have our Room Exception, so hopefully someone worthwhile becomes available. Would love it if Holiday or PJ Tucker gets waived.

No way we cut Snell over Dinwiddie, our 5th string point guard. Snell gets so much hate on here, of the 15 players we have I'd rank him ahead of Dinwidde, Grant, Zipser, Canaan and even Portis.

Yes, Bobby played good in Summer League, guess who else did, Tony Snell!

How could you rank him ahead of Portis?

Not like I don't want Snell gone but there is no way we drop him unless someone else who is without a doubt a rotation player is coming here. Even though snell sucks the other options now are not very much better. For example Gerald green is better but even he isn't that good. It would take someone like PJ Tucker to be waived for us to just drop snell.

I feel like there's a good chance someone like PJ Tucker will seek a buyout. The Suns are rebuilding and have a ton of wing depth. Basically any veteran at the end of his contract on a bad team is a possibility.

I don't think it'd take a lot for us to drop Snell if he's playing at the same level he played at last year. I mean a completely unproven Justin Holiday basically walked in off the street and took his job from day one of us his Bulls career.
