David Griffin just now: Chicago is a team to pay a lot of attention to tomorrow. They have a target in mind, and are in a highly leveraged position.

If you’ve seen any of the Ringers mock drafts, you wouldn’t trust anything they put out lol

What do mock drafts have to do with trusting a web site? Should i not trust Woj because of ESPN mocks?

You’re missing my point which is mostly joke lol. I’m saying that they’re mock drafts are comically bad to the point where i question their basketball logic. They suggested we take miles bridges at 7 for a while. Not even mikal. Personally i don’t consider anything they offer intel wise to be material. That’s just me tho.

Also Woj earned his reputation with facts before making mocks. I haven’t seen them report anything of substance that they uncovered. So I’ll pass on any breaking news they offer personally. But that’s just me. Do you lol

Mikal Bridges seems like such a Bulls player. Love to get a second pick high enough to nab him....

He does. Yet apparently Knox ate his lunch in a workout. FWIW

kevin o'connor isn't the most plugged in dude in the world, but he's not a rumormonger either and i'm pretty sure he's reported some things that have turned out to be true

in the realm of non-woj/shams pre-draft reporting, i think that's probably about as trustworthy as anything else

What does it mean to be in a highly leveraged position?

You take the ball out of Lavine's hands and force him to play the role he'll succeed in as an off-the ball shooter/slasher. I see them work out similarly to how Parker/Ginobli paired up.

I'm talking how would Dunn thrive if Doncic was the primary ballhandler. We aren't getting Doncic thought so it's pointless speculation.

I think there's more than enough possessions for Dunn and Doncic to share that responsibility. Lavine was the primary ball handler for a significant number of possessions last season, you take those away from him. The movement towards fielding 3 wings is the most pronounced change in the modern nba, but the trend towards two ball dominant creators is equally prevalent.

I have to problem with sharing ballhandling duties. My point is Dunn can't really play off ball right now so it's like 4 on 5 when he isn't running the offense. I hope he gets better in that area.

I think in this case it means they are willing to go big or go home. I hope it doesn't mean an overpay.

My guess is Doncic would be the guy, but Dunn can still be very valuable in secondary role and as our best defensive guard. Or Dunn can run offense when Doncic is out. Nice problem to have.

Yeah you need multiple creators on offense. I just wonder what Dunn can without ball in his hands.

Same as he did last year at times -- space the floor and hit assisted 3s.

This is what I would like to see happen, but it's real stretch to say that is what he did last season. Teams basically leave Dunn open for 3s.

Could you imagine this board's reaction if we moved up and Luka is still on the board just to pick MPJ. Lol

The Bulls are gonna have to overpay to move up. Just a matter of how much.

I've been re-watching a lot of his games last season, he did it and made teams pay more than I initially recalled. Hopefully his shot improves to another level this off-season.

Is there such a thing as a large minority?

Asking for a friend...

of course, 49% is a large minority

I believe that was the other Bridges, Miles.

MIkal is perfect for this team, but only after we get one more star talent player.
