Bulls Trade Rumors Only

[chitownsports4ever]

Bulls are 19-13 since Nov 30th I dont know what everyone was expecting them to do because they were not gonna quit midseason and by now everyone should know how they operate. Now that doesn't rule out them doing something come draft or even over the summer but I can see them wanting t get Coby into the same postseason opportunity as they wanted for Zach so that he raise his profile and have a guy they can use to attract other players but also lead the team.

I believe we’ll move at least one of Caruso or DeMar. Sitting out a fourth consecutive transaction period to service a play-in berth when your leading scorer is highly likely to walk this summer and your best defender will follow him out the door in 2025 - that’s a degree of incompetence that I don’t think ownership can support.

Famous last words I realize … but the buck stops here imo.

NBA Today - Just now

Bobby Marks - "The 76ers are looking to bolster the line-up with Embiid out, they should look at the Bulls and target DeRozan and Drummond"

Windy - "They''re not targeting DeRozan, no one is talking to the Bulls"

Greatest and most disheartening exchange i've seen on TV in awhile

I'd be shocked if we do anything. All the signs seem to be pointing towards inaction.

It's not that disheartening to me, I fully expect this FO to sit on their hands just they did the last 2 deadlines.

Can't have continuity if you trade the players you currently have.

I've been saying this for weeks, nothing is going to happen this deadline.

Xavier Tillman goes for scraps and pocket change, and he would've been a good pick-up for the bench, especially if they were at all serious about trading Drummond

That price feels like market for AD. That said, I'd much rather keep him. He is probably someone we can keep at a reasonable price and be a top 10 back-up C.

We won’t be able to afford Drummond. He will walk this offseason. He is probably worth MLE to some team.

Not trading caurso now especially while he’s healthy will be a huge mistake on akme his value will never be this hight again until he’s in a 3/4 year contract don’t be fooled by thinks this team will win a playin game let alone a playoff game be serious and not stubborn trade to the highest bidder

I can not believe how unbelievably unlikely it is that they trade demar or caruso. I also can not believe this thread is going to reach over 20 pages by the deadline. In years past, it would be over 100, thank black jesus. But seriously, its pretty sad state of affairs for bulls fans, and this website that it is going to reach only 20 pages or so.

The chance we can re-sign Drummond is worth 2 second rounders.

[WindyCityBorn]

Unless we're getting overpays on Caruso and Drummond there's no reason to trade for the sake of trading.

I'd much rather try to make the playoffs this season and get Coby, Pat, Ayo, Terry and Phillips some playoff experience.

This draft sucks and isn’t going to change anything.

Play hard this season and make changes in the offseason.

No major changes will be made this offseason either.

Their inclination is to do nothing. They do suck after all. But the confluence of recent events (no DeMar extension, Pat injury, Zach injury) will force some action imo. I could be wrong. We’ll soon see.

Oh I would just keep him too. I don’t think two or three late 2nd round picks are worth much anything.

Bulls are 19-13 since Nov 30th I dont know what everyone was expecting them to do because they were not gonna quit midseason and by now everyone should know how they operate. Now that doesn't rule out them doing something come draft or even over the summer but I can see them wanting t get Coby into the same postseason opportunity as they wanted for Zach so that he raise his profile and have a guy they can use to attract other players but also lead the team.

No star is coming here to play with Coby. They see how badly and cheaply this team is run.

Are we cheap or do we have several players signed to such large contracts that they have no value? Which is it - because the two don't seem to go together?

[ChettheJet]

I know this will sound completely insane to some of the noted experts here bu, do you ever consider for a second that maybe other teams can't or don't want to do something? I mean man it's so hard to believe that some of you have no concept that it takes 2 teams at least to make a trade and those other teams just don't think the players the Bulls have to offer make them better than the players they'd have to give up?

Both. Bad because they are so committed to this mediocre and more importantly aging roster. Cheap they won’t go a penny into luxury to improve this roster they love so much.

I think it does in a way...we have multiple overpaid B-listers and role players (Lavine, Vuc, DeRozan) and not a single A-lister in site. We will never get an A-List Star (unless through draft Rose/Jordan) because we dont attract them with how bad the rosters tend to be. The rosters tend to be bad because they are too cheap to pay lux-tax bills and thus they then overpay B-List guys (Boozer, `DeRozan, Lavine, Vuc, Ben Wallace, etc) in order to "make the roster look better than it is".

It is the vicious never ending cycle of Bulls mediocrity. I'm in my 30's and with how the team has been ran since 98, I can say I have 0 confidence in this ownership, management and team to ever be more than a perpetual playoff team, never really contending but not bad enough to fully rebuild.
