So the Deng trade turned into more cash for the ownership. WINNING!!

Some may need to relax a bit, ACL tears aren't an end all anymore. LaVine is gonna be a great player IMO

They aren't end all but Lavine, like Rose and Rondo is a guy that relies on his athleticism. It's a giant concern.

We're Bulls fans, don't try to talk to us about torn ACLs.

No. Stop saying this stuff. It's the end to their potential. Why did Wolves dump LaVine knowing he would be a great player? LOL

Where does cash from Bell trade? Back against the cap or into Reinsdorf pockets?

First time I have ever called a trade (actually had Grant going to Minny too). I like it, for both teams. I think Thibs should dump Aldrich and go all in for Milsap-older, but they could win 55+ with a lineup of
Rubio/Jones
Wiggins/?
Butler/?
Milsap/Towns
Towns/Dieng

not great shooting, but an awesome lineup

We start over-suck this year and PRAY for Porter in a year
Dunn/Grant/Payne
Lavine/Valentine/Payne
?/Zipser
Portis/Lauri
?/Felicio

Next trade, Wade for Deng, Zubic and a 2020 unprotected 1st from the Lakers

Somebody's going to have to explain to me why in the world they did this. I mean other than the measly 3.5 mil reasons. Did they feel that they couldn't find any player worth drafting after #37 that just might help the team ? So they said "Ef it, might as well sell the pick" ?

Jerry is a greedy **** and cheap as **** when it comes to the Bulls.

Seriously? A rebuilding team well under the cap traded a pick for cash? What is going on here?

Well for one Wiggins and him are both best as two guards, although Wiggins plays 3 better than Lavine plays the #1 and Rubio was a key stirrer of their offense. It was a duplicity move imo and butler is short term much better

Being a third option offense based guy for a upcoming team usually isn't the safest role on the team, just like harden and probably others when teams have a glut of scoring.

I'm not saying he's a sure thing but he can be better than prime Ben Gordon.

Bulls reputation is in the absolute gutter now.

Another negative of dealing a star who is popular league-wide.

No chance anyone on the current Olympic team ever signs here.

Hell of a way to start your rebuild.

It tells you that the Bulls are really, really trying to suck in 2017-2018 which is fine as long as our coaching staff changes and we are a #1-#3 lottery team
