2023 NBA Draft Thread

Glass is half-full: the Bulls is on a 3-game losing streak, and at 6-9, Chicago is outside a play-in slot.

Whether one is pro- or anti-tanker, having two lotto tickets to the coming draft is an intersting concept to consider.

The Bulls look about one year away from imploding. Vuc is probably not far away from joining Fournier as a 12th man bench player.

16/11, he is far from this.

We want them to be as bad as possible, if it's top 4 this year they keep and it becomes top 3 protected next year.

I'd rather have a pick this year due to the depth of this draft. I also wouldn't want them to luck into a top 4 pick and get a difference maker and potentially get a healthy Lonzo Ball back. Just give us a pick in the 6-10 range and I'll be ecstatic :lol:

Yeah, I wanted buddyball gone but there is no way Vuc deserves to be out of an NBA rotation. Hell, I would welcome him back as our backup 5 if he would give us a hometown discount next summer.

Whatever that pick ends up being, if we get a decent player, this could go down as our best trade in franchise history. I can't think of a trade that has turned out better. If we do somehow have two top 10 picks in this draft, holy moly will we be loaded with young talent.

I would bring him back in a heartbeat if he would. He would be an ideal backup 5 and I don't see why he can't play another 4 years like Horford has who's now 36 vs Vuc's 32.

Sure seems like we are set up for one more year before we make a free agent splash. Given how the contracts are set up. You try to trade Ross, Harris and maybe Bamba this year for future picks. Draft two quality lotto guys this next year. Our true free agents are JI and Fultz. Let the team grow and either trade Fultz and JI next year or they show you we have a solid team and then in 2024 you bring in the complimentary pieces for PB and Franz and I bet Bol. That may be our core in two years.

He would be nice here, but probably he will try to sign with a contender, I would at least.

Currently the Bulls is listed today as the 7th worst team. That results in a 31.96% chance to go top-4 and a 68.04% chance to convey to Orlando.

If the Bulls win in the lotto, this pick converts to a top-3 protected pick in 2024. And then becomes second round picks.

Brandon makes most sense for Magic pov

Comparing the last two #5 picks and Suggs is better than Ivey this season. He's also 9 mos. older.

Suggs arguably better than Scottie Barnes this season.

Ivey has been better and a rookie. Compare him to Suggs last season and it’s no contest.

yeah, was very happy Miller chose my Tide, he looks great. Quinnerly is an interesting player. had an off year from 3 pt last year, but excels in the sparkplug role off the bench, decent passer and plays solid defense. could be worth a 2nd round flyer if we still need PG depth

why? he is a SF. we need either PG or SG upgrade. we have forwards.
