we have so much longer defenders now you could hide Lauri and his shooting is more needed


Yeah I wouldn't mind offering something to Lauri.

We need offense and we need a big. Only thing is I can't see him coming here for the MLE.

I mean the full mle is more than he's making now and his value has significantly dropped to where the bulls were constantly trying to move him I just don't know if that's enough for them to let him walk for nothing

I really hope we don't find anyone and then we trade Dragic prior to the trade deadline lol.


Miami is no longer in control here. We can ask for more and still trade him on Friday or Saturday or anytime before the season or during the season.

I understand doing right by Kyle and we did that with the SnT - we are obligated to nothing as far as Miami the team goes.

Pony up or tell Kyle Lowry & your fan base & the league that hero held up a deal for Lowry. A player who's currently noteven expected to be in your starting 5


This was what I was saying in this thread but was being told "I was clueless" lol.

I don't have a concept of what the Bulls cap situation is right now or whether or not they see Lauri as part of their future...but if he hasn't been extended yet...there is a chance they are no longer wanting him.

Okpala would make the S&T a little easier to swallow but he’s nothing super special.

And honestly, Dragic is probably worth more on our roster now anyway. The idea for moving him was to get cap space to sign someone for more than an MLE deal but there is no one left on the market worth that.

Not sure what we would be able to get for him during the szn. All the contenders have PGs or nothing worth trading for now

I'd offer the MLE to Markkanen and maybe throw a second in that we get from the Dragic deal if we need to offer a bit of compensation to the Bulls.

Dragic on an expiring deal, Markkanen, Precious and a first or KZ is much better than we would have done with just the capspace. Plus Dragic can be dealt at the deadline as well or included in a bigger trade as the season progresses.

Remember when Deandre jordan was locked in his house so he couldnt sign a contract that one FA? Good times.

Signing players at 37% of their actual value, just to play (with Lebron)/(in LA).

Thank heavens DDR didn't sign with them.
