Can someone tell me what a "flushed face" means on Twitters because that seems to be Zach's reaction to Vucevic trade.

Bulls are getting the 4-6 seed. I realistically see them giving ORL the 16-19th pick.

We'll really need Sato to play well. On paper, we're a big market team, with two All-Stars, and a player-friendly coach. If we can make the playoffs we'll be a FA/trade destination next year. We've laid the groundwork for forming a big-three IMO.

I can't wait for Saturday, likely a L with the giant roster shakeup and we're up against a good team in the Spurs, but it should be fun.

We gave up nothing. And got back value in return.

I am a fan.

We now have legit starters at 4 spots. Aminu is a serious defender. A very good piece as well.

So you're telling me there's a Kawhi chance in hell?

Do we think Aminu can contribute anything to this team at all, or is he just destined to ride the end of the bench unless we hit an injury crisis? Shame he isn't a better 3 point shooter because everything else would be quite valuable as a role player.

I have a hard time believing we're still going for a highly paid PG now. No need whatsoever, and there aren't enough basketballs anyway.

We've had pitiful defense all-around, so I'm sure BD is looking forward to having Aminu and Green to backup Pat.

Basically PW, Coby and Lauri are simply going to have to focus harder for their minute opportunities now; good play, they stay. Mistakes, they sit and watch.

Damn I can't wait for Bulls basketball now! This team got 400% more watchable for me. Vuc is great. Theis is one of my favorite high energy players in the league. Brown is a contributor, especially if Williams struggles on court during this playoff hunt. Heck, if Aminu recovers to anywhere near 2018, he'd be a heck of a defender for us.

Our two departed Jr's took the wind out of my sails every time I've tried to watch the Bulls for much of this season. I hope both contribute to their new team, but damn am I glad they're gone. Didn't ever care much for Gafford's undisciplined play, nor do I really even remember what Hutch was like on court much at all. And no more Kornet!

What you really need is a guard that can defend PnR on the other side of the ball while being able to spread the floor for Vuc/Zach to operate.

Shi.... do you watch coby run around saying screw this "when is it my turn to shoot"

Lonzo Ball will be the realistic target this off-season.

Bulls can fairly easily open up space for Kawhi or some other max FA if he wants to come. Sato and Thad are easily tradeable for cap space. And Aminu and Brown are tradeable with second round picks or could be waived/stretched.

This is very exciting to get an all-star level center like this. I want to know more details if those picks were protected now.

Yep.

I wouldn't worry about cap space, it can be created.

(though Kawhi won't be leaving LA)

Lonzo will be a Bull. AK will get his point guard.
