Nikola Vučević and Al-Farouq Aminu traded to Chicago for Wendell Carter Jr and 2021/2023 1st Round Picks

So those mad at the deal think Vuc wasn’t worth as much as people actually thought, or that this FO is incompetent? Pick one.

Top 4 protected this year according to Shams

If it's an unprotected '21 first rounder, this was a good deal to make. The Bulls are clearly on the upswing, but I don't see them being catapulted to a top four seed. Even that '23 pick may be top 20. If I had to guess, we don't hang on to Porter. I'd be interested in keeping him to see if he can reclaim himself as he's not that old. I'm also thrilled we got rid of Aminu's contract.

2021 pick definitely coming & looks like 2023 is unprotected?

Bakomagic · Post #89 » by **Bakomagic** » Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:25 pm

People are going to be mad if both picks are unprotected ?

Who gives up unprotected picks nowadays ? We didn’t even get unprotected picks for Dwight !

Am I off here ?

Shams says the Bulls 2021 1st is Top 4 protected.

That was my first hope when I saw traded to Chicago

And now the pick is protected Top-4 this year.

I expected it to convey anyway but am now just madder.

Top 4 protections is stupid. I'm out on that.

No way Chicago even gets into the top 4 with their team now.

PrimeThyme · Post #97 » by **PrimeThyme** » Thu Mar 25, 2021 3:27 pm

I think I like the deal. This to me is trading Vuc at his peak value. We would not have gotten this return in any previous year. It's a testament to how much better he's become as a player. This needed to happen.

This is dumb if the Magic couldn't even get unprotected picks.
