I think it's more, we have what we have. Gradey is who we have. We spent a 1st on him, so we hope he develops either to benefit this team, or be a part of a trade.

Coaches get tunnel vision. I think splitting Gradey's minutes with Jameson Battle would provide positive competition.


You’ve been here long enough to know it’s not that. There’s people that clamour to trade Rj to improve the team then attack you when you say gradey dick isn’t that good.

Well true enough. Maybe I was speaking more for myself.

On a side, note a straight up RJ for Norman Powell works salary wise.

Is there any way to clear bench pieces for Norman Powell?

I'm eagerly anticipating the 2026 actual EPM to release. I feel their predictive EPM is too heavily weighted on past performance meaning young player's EPM is suppressed and veteran's are inflated.

Another one we missed in the 2023 was Keyonte George. I thought we was gonna pick him. He's killing it this season.

Bulls coming back down to their rightful place among non-playoff teams. Lost 5 in a row, 6 after playing Denver tonight.

41% from the field, 27% from three and a 29% usage rate. Those are horrific shooting percentages. lol.

They ruined my roundrobin parlay lol. I checked in the 3rd or something and saw they were up something like 15 against Utah. I felt pretty confident. Then check later in the evening and the bets lost I'm like wtf.

How do you let Utah of all teams come from behind and beat you in 2OT?

The Bulls were def the biggest pretenders of the season start. I think the Pistons are due next tbh. I acknowledge they're a decent team, but they're not an 11-2 team...and...well...it's the Pistons. They'll find a way.

Well, yes. Circumstances would have to change for Miami and other assets would have to be attached.

Atlanta is playing well without Trae and might make it easier for Atlanta to move on - Dyson and Alexander-Walker make a good backcourt.

On a random note, RJ is apparently having/on track to have the best season of those from the 2019-2020 draft class.. Didn't see that coming at the start of the year

Return to Toronto Raptors
