Apparently teams are taking off Thon Maker on their first round board altogether, because there is fear that he is 21-23 years old instead of being "19"

Water and finger snacks. Why waste liquor on a draft we aren't of.

Oh, we'll be a part of it

He has a lot of weaknesses to his game. Doesn't shoot well. Doesn't do well creating in the halfcourt. Not a very instinctive passer. Defense kind of up and down. He does have real good size though (measured in at 6'6" I believe which is obviously great for a PG) and with his long strides get to the basket quickly. Probably seeing someone like Toure Murry like in terms of NBA potential.

I'd rather Lamb.

And, I'm not trading that pick (if it were me). The Bulls might have a bad record next year, and it's projected as an incredibly stacked Draft in 2017, that 2nd Round could be very high.

Plus, well need Players in 2017 and good, cheap young players are more valuable. We could have 3-4 picks next year. I'd rather we work a player for Lamb trade, than include a pick,

Did he recently change agents? Inside sabotage?
If not, it might be a particular team trying to get him at a lower slot.

Agreed. Would take Lamb, give them O Quinn...give us the damn pick. Damn, this must be a really weak draft if these teams are trying to dump players like this!

Lamb & a pick?!?!?! What is there to really think about? Lamb's salary comes off the books after next season! A no brainer!!! He would definitely be as good as Afflalo. Where do I sign?!?!?!

1. His contract doesn't come off the books after next season, he signed a 3 year $21 million contract extension that pays him an average of $7 million through the 2018-2019 season (if you are looking on the sportrac page, scroll down a little).

2. As much as I wanted Afflalo gone, Lamb is nowhere near the player Afflalo is, even now. Afflalo intentionally mailed it in late last season, Lamb plays like that all the time unintentionally.

I would have given this serious consideration. Pekovic's contract is bad but, getting Rubio for nothing would have been a steal.

Petroleum Jelly fam

Smooth, warm, and slick...

But somewhat of an adhesive to enhance friction...

...at least as it was told to me...
