I'm fine with the Bulls not acquiring a 2nd if that does indeed happen. Hopefully they sign Antonio Reeves as a UDFA, lights out movement shooter. Maybe one of PJ Hall, or Anton Watson also if they don't get picked.

Major off the court issues that basically prevented him from participating at all with the Hawks for long stretches.

So sick of Rich Paul. How does Silver get away with allowing him to simply steer undrafted players wherever he wants so blatantly. This is bs. And of course he’s going to get his way then deny that he ever did that and that somehow the Lakers simply ended up coming to Bronny table first.

World would be a better place without Rich Paul as an agent. Such a scumbag

I like the fit for KJ Simpson in Charlotte. Given LaMelo's track record he'll get opportunities at times to run the show. He's a very talented player, he's simply just short.

I think Rich Paul really gets undue bad reputation, firstly because of his connection with LeBron who essentially kick started his career for him, and him also being an agent. NOTHING he has done for his clients, isn't things that other agents in the past have done for their own clients. He just happens to have catapulted into the scene, and there is this hate towards him which I think is unfair.

You think his the only agents that told teams not to draft their players? There have been players at the top of the lottery who have done the exact same thing! Steve Francis, Kobe, and that's just the two that comes to mind, but I'm sure there are plenty more that I can't recall.

He isn't some revolutionary sports agent, who is doing anything that is changing the game per se, he just happens to be close friends with one of the best players who ever lived, he is young, has a great client pool and isn't afraid to speak his mind and be in front of the camera, unlike agents of years past who would play the wolf in sheeps clothing behind the scenes.

Damn yea, if i were the Bulls I would've done something similar to that (obviously not this years 2nd)


And damn wanted Durisic too (he's ATL's pick)


The problem is that the Bulls have no 2nd round picks until after 2027.

I think Griffin has more potential than Phillips (who they gave up two 2nds to draft).

I'd draft him out of spite. Unless he's planning on spending 20 years in Australia, when he returns I still own his rights.

I mean it is really focused around Lebron most of the time though. Imagine having an agent that can pretty much cheat code behind the scenes for one player many times - Anthony Davis, Bronny, all these others that tried to come to Lakers when Lebron started, Heatles. Zach Lavine - they tried stuff last year too, to get him on the cheapest to Lakers.

Kevin McCullar is still on the board? Injury concerns? Would be a great UDFA pickup

The last 3 picks in the draft don't matter, because Bronny James.

Not for a couple of years you won't. What a weird draft by the Bucks who are in the middle of a rapidly closing window of contention.

The thing to me what I dont get is the whole Bronny James thing.

How is he supposed to carve his own way when he had a Bulldozer do it for him? He was gifted being drafted.

Its up to him now to try and do something but from a human level, its totally understandable why people would be mad.

Haha.

Would Bronny have been drafted if the Lakers didn't have a 2nd round pick?

I bet once Bron retires, perhaps Bronny does too.
