We really need to see some trades soon. We still seem like a team with no vision/long term plan at this point. One of the worst pool of assets in the league.

First we need establish some of our players to make them assets worth being traded for flipping including vets. Our team sucks. Most of our players have low value. Our recent picks had terrible just overwhelming terrible year. Just because we have new managment doesnt mean we aint operating with Jim Boylen clown run Bulls in minds of 29 GM's in league. Everyone is trying likely buy low from us. Only thing we can do is wait.

It's hard to get value and assets when your assets and value aint existing yet.

Lavine is a blatant trade-high candidate.

Otto Porter is a huge expiring we could play with to take on bad salary for assets.

Bottom line is we're going to need some trades or else this roster will look not so different than what GarPax would have done if not fired. Which would be a massive disappointment. Because **** GarPax.

Pretty sure it's an annual tradition for them. With sweet irony they seem to crash every year on draft night. RGM is laggy AF too. It's a huge surge in hits for these sites.

That's the way I'm approaching it I've invested Maybe 70 minutes researching this draft, and that migh be a bit of an exaggeration. AK and company have invested a tad more and have the benefit if a wee bit of basketball experience.

So I respectfully accept the simple fact that I don't know Jack.

I hope for the best, he looks like he already has a man's body, let's give him a shot.

Now if we can just hurry this damn draft along because I'd like to get some sleep tonight knowing who he drafted in the 2nd, and not at 2am.

They can't possibly be dumb enough to have physical servers.

As a side note, we really need to get Thad Young off this roster if we want Williams to have built-in minutes.

Detroit seems like they are wheeling and dealing. Not sure if they are good moves but they are stirring the pot.

I feel like BOS did really well to get Nesmith. You can never have too many good shooters.

Maybe Pax was good at half the job in picking players but terrible with building the organization around the players...Bulls make a significant jump this year then it was the rest of the organization infrastructure and not the players picked....classic case of right play poor execution

getting to that point of the draft where i fantasize about us trading up into the late first/early second to get a guy who's still on the board who i'm led to believe is good

i've probably seen 30 seconds of tyrell terry or desmond bane in my life but i want them more than anything in the world right now....

TOR is gonna get terry, aren't they?

I agree. PW to me will be a wing and play the 4. But at the same time, we still need guidance and vets and Thad can be a mentor to PW.

We obviously arent in a rush since Williams is barely 19.

I'm all in on someone like Markus Howard in the 2nd round. Also like Jay Scrubb from JUCO as a sleeper if he slips or a possible trade up.

Are we certain he is ready to get built-in mins from game 1?

2nd youngest player in the draft with very little time between draft and season starting. I suppose it doesn’t matter because the Bulls probably aren’t contending this year (though they may compete for the playoffs)

No way any of these guys are available at 44....right?!?
