Even if the player was crap it's a tangible asset with some kind of potential, and not a lump of money going into Jerry's pocket.

Bell will be much better than Felicio. Waaay better. Seriously wtf.

The stupidity would've pissed me off. The greed of this move has me ready to move on.

Sigh.. could've been something.

We have no interest in long and athletic, would not have fit in with our philosophy of slow and crap.

Just thinking of Bell's emotion. He finds out he is drafted by a team swirling down the toilet and probably is dissapointed. Then a few minutes later he finds out he is traded to a team who might win the next 5 championships. Kid just went from suicidal to hitting the lottery.

Bell will have a better career than any of the three guys we acquired tonight. Unbelievable.

Niko, Felicio and one FA brings us to the max of 15 before considering the room MLE. Would make no sense to bring in another rookie.

Are you kidding? Canaan can be waived for his $1 mill and it's not like the Bulls are hurting for cap space. Rondo's contract is not fully guaranteed. Felicio doesn't have to come back. Other guys can be traded for future picks (even 2nd rounders). Roster space isn't an excuse. Bell has much higher upside than Felicio.

Can't say I know anything about Bell but Felicio is already a very solid NBA big. Our whole team is young. I don't want any more young guys. Enough is enough. I wamt them each to have their own mental space.

I want Rondo back.

Don't worry guys. Bell will become the next Draymond for the Warriors while we get to say, "Rats! Could've had him!"

Bring him to summer league and see if he's worth making room for.

Or trade the pick for a future 2nd rounder (Golden State would've gladly sent us their 2018).

There's absolutely no basketball justification for trading this pick. It's pure profit motive. Which is pathetic.

Wait until they let the Jimmy Trade exemption expire.

Exaggerated statements are lame.

I can't wait to see how we get ripped the next few days...

It's really something to get fleeced twice in two trades

We just traded for two long athletic players tonight in Lavine amd Dunn.

Felicio is a RFA about to make a lot more money compared to a rookie 2nd round pick. Who has a much higher upside than Felicio. Bell is strong, athletic, and a shot blocker. His offensive game is a bit raw but hey so is Felicio's still.

Cash... I'm more angry about this than about anything else tonight

I'm more pissed that the T Wolves got the best 2 players in the trade we gave up a top 15 NBA player for.

League Circles · Post #539 » by **League Circles** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 3:45 am

How dare the team take 3.5 million dollars to cut their 16th man 2 months earlier than planned!!!!
