Wow. Thats interesting. So, the Bulls are going to trade up.

Trying to.... and accomplishing it are not the same

I take it as the Bulls have identified the player they want (seems like Bamba) and they're gonna try to see if they can strike a deal to get said player. If Bamba lasts until #4, which is a very likely scenario Bulls and Grizzlies have made sense for awhile now as trade partners. We've beaten the trade possibilities to death. This is exciting.

Aside from anything rumorwise we are currently hearing, the act of players this week telling teams not to draft them, not springing out etc, is their agent working in tandem with teams further down in the draft. Trying to prompt trades. They dont really want to drop to their preferred team. They want to get traded for

With the uncertainty of who is picking who, beside Phoenix, I cannot see any trade agreed upon until tomorrow night. What's the point of trading now when you don't know if your guy is going to be there? Memphis, however, have different motivation. They must be highly motivated now because they need to save some money. We, on the other hand, do not have to do **** because our target might happen to be there at 7. Btw, I have not heard of anything connecting the Bulls to Luca, which I find to be strange. Is he even a consideration? I remember Pax saying how we need sizes and athleticism on the wing with the way the league is going. Is it why Doncic is not in the picture?

Memphis makes the most sense, especially if we want
Bamba. He told them he doesn't want to play for them, we are hot for him, and they only drop back 3 slots and likely take one of the few talents that worked out for them.

Is he though? When did he ever make a great pick that went against conventional logic?

Serious question. I'm asking because I can't think of any really.

Channing Frye
David Lee
Marcus Camby ( oh, yeah)
Trevor Ariza ( crazy drafting)
Renaldo Balkman
Wilson Chandler

Lee, Camby, Chandler, Ariza have all had very good careers relative to where they were picked. And Frye is still in the league, though a failure compared to his being a Top 10 pick.

Isiah Thomas the drafter is definitely leagues better than Isiah Thomas the trader and the check giver.

Still nothing all that special. Not the best drafter since 1989 at the time. Balkman was the only real shot in the dark that surprised people.

He did take Camby, but look at the guys going after him, including Ray Allen for ex. Ariza he traded a season or two after drafting him. Fry was a miss imo.

Lee and Chandler are his hits, not disputing them. What is interesting he has been better at later part of draft than when drafting high... in this context it could be telling.

Yup, I'm sure details will be worked out today but there will hat trading tomorrow.

There's a rule in Business: If everyone's doing one thing, just do the exact opposite and you'll succeed.

Bamba would be like that for me. Maybe, the big man is going to make a comeback to the NBA.

Its not like we are trying to win a title anytime soon anyway.

I can't see any scenario where anybody has time for that nonsense. The draft. That's all we are here to talk about...the draft.

I think the Parsons + 4 for 7 is there for us. Not sure how I feel about it, but it can mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Sounds like Memphis is only trading down if Doncic isn't available. I think Chicago believes Dallas will take Bamba so they're trying to at least get to 4, or maybe 5 if Memphis decides to stay at 4 anyway and not select Bamba.

Or you could replace Bamba for Jackson here, who knows.

Great read on Bamba...http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23840421/nba-draft-mo-bamba-quest-nba-next-great-big-man

Very encouraging to hear he knows he has to defend guards in the PnR and shoot in order to close games.

IMO he is Capella right away. If he can shoot he could be a game changing player. Also love that he's tight with Embiid.

This. I think the exact same thing. I expect a trade up for Bamba or JJJ. Luka will be gone. If not I think they stay put and take MPJ or Carter.

Doesn't Dallas have the 5th pick? At worst we'd have to trade with Memphis. I guess it all really depends on what Atlanta does - Doncic or JJJ. Bagley is going to the Kings
