Another thing it shows is that the Bulls FO (and Billy) acknowledge that Ball isn't a real full time initiator, but more of a 3&D wing with some creation on the side. Rightly so, IMO.

I think that's a reach. I think the Bulls need a plan A (Ball), B (Rose) and C (Schroder?).

Yeah, I'm trying to read the tea leaves by but maybe I'm only showing some confirmation bias :lol:

Maybe they weren't "tea" leaves.

Which makes sense they want both Rose and Lonzo. Then it would seem that PW has to be our PF

IMO it's his best position

I think he would be featured more and get more Ops. BillyD didn’t use his post game and barely used him in PnR. As a 4 I don’t think anyone can stay with him. If he stays at the 3 then he better be using his size in the post on mismatches.

I also like his weak side rim protection at the 4.

For the Bulls, there's believed to be mutual interest with Lonzo Ball on a four-year deal worth over $80 million. If the Pelicans do not renounce Ball, that agreement would have to come via an offer sheet, which New Orleans would have the option to match.

Regardless of that outcome, there are strong indications from league sources that mutual interest exists between Derrick Rose and his storied hometown franchise, where he claimed league MVP honors in 2010-11. It's unclear how Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau can stand in the way of the Bulls' potential advances, and Chicago will need to shed contracts to bring on two ball-handlers at such expected salaries.

This update could live in several threads on this board, but this is the thread about taking your pick between several point guards. Well, we may want two!

Please do it, Knicks.

I wonder if some of these teams that have previously been linked to Lonzo already know that it's a done deal with the Bulls. :nod:

I sorta like his fit with the Knicks. They need more scoring from their PG. I still think they package some of Quickly, RJ, Toppin, Robinson for another star.

I'd love to see that. Thibs wants that D.

Knicks will go Fournier and Shroeder.

Schroder is actually a guy who would really thrive with Thibs.

Probably the only team that makes sense, more cap room than they know what to do with, hero-ball PG is very Thibs (he's going to win on defense anyway). Still surprised Lowry isn't their 1st option here.

Either way, Lonzo to NY seems unlikely and that's the only landing spot other than Chicago I would expect.

That would be awesome. If this is the plan, I have to believe we're prepared to waive and stretch Sato, Thad, and Aminu.
