Bulls/Nuggets 

Post#1 » by Astaluego » Mon May 12, 2025 7:47 pm

BULLS
In:MPJ
Out:Ayo/P.Williams/Huerter

They consolidate, get the best player in the deal, and get out of PW's long-term contract, which isn't working for them.

DENVER
In:Ayo/Williams/Huerter
Out:MPJ

depth, athleticism and defense (Ayo/Williams), Huerter gives them a similar archetype to MPJ

My issue here is the same with the other deal on the board breaking Porter into parts. Ayo plays, but less than Porter. Williams and Huerter might play in the playoffs, but you won't love it. I can't see it for Denver.

Chicago should do it just to clear out the final years of Williams contract, but getting the best player is another good one.

Interesting deal-Den would have to think they can make PWill a positive player. Ayo/Huerter are very solid role players

For the Bulls that means
White/Tre Jones (resigned)
Giddey/Ball
Matas/Terry
MPJ/Phillips
Vuc/Collins
#12 being a young big-Newell would be great

I don't see the Bulls seeing their 15-5 finish to the season with so many guys contributing on a given night to going all in on MPJ. Playing next to Jokic makes players look very good in a role because and MVP/triple double stat machine covers up for other's shortcomings. As a Bull MPJ will be looked upon to be the 1-3 guy every game with Giiddey and Whiote and not hold back Buzelis. And that's without mentioning him being the highest paid player n the roster
