Yoooo. I'd do this in a heartbeat....

Bill Simmons has me pumped for Luka

[TheSuzerain]

Seeing Capela not get burn and be part of Houstons most effective lineup makes me not excited to draft a Bamba type player. Big, switcjable wings who can score from 3 and attack closeouts. Thats it. Run 5 of those guys and youre golden.

How many teams are able to do that at a high level? How many teams have a center like Anthony Davis or Draymond Green, that can switch everything, defend at a high level and are useful offensively? Even players like Gobert, Embiid and Capela can be exposed.

There may be 3 teams max that have a good small ball lineup. There is 1 team that has a great small ball lineup and it's because of the historically unique set of talent they have. Chasing that build isn't going to work.

Staying at 7 to draft Bridges would be silly. Trade down in such a scenario.

I can't believe even the Kings would be that stupid.

Is it true that MPJ will make his medical information available only to the Bulls and the Knicks?

Me too. Sacramento wouldn’t. They just drafted Fox and though both are big enough to co-exist in theory, in reality both struggle to shoot.

Its not gonna happen. Not unless we add Lauri, and even Maybe if then. And the Kings have a decent PG in Fox who played well for them last year down the stretch.

They do it at a high level mainly because of their all-time great stars.

We're not going to be competing with Golden State or Houston. Who knows what the team structure is like the next time Chicago is good enough to compete. That's why it's a fool's errand to build your teams to mimic what's hot today.

Then we should make sure we only draft HOF players. It’s a great plan. Someone call Pax.

[Truebiscuit]

Ugh, that guy looks like trash right now. You gotta be kidding me.

LOL @ better fit

Pass what you're smoking bro.

Yea who wouldn't want someone that is athletic, can rebound, finish at the basket, defend the paint and perimeter, along with having a crazy motor while not taking any shots away from Lauri.

Who wouldn't want that? Probably the fans that aren't hurling fire and brimstone at everything GarPax does, for starters...

[Truebiscuit]

Forget about the Warriors. '90 Bulls. Wings. Wings. WINGS. You can always find random ass Bayneses/Nenes/whatevers for cheap.

I am all for gathering up all the assets (yes, including Lauri) to just take swings at wings. Dunn/LaVine/Denzel ain't good enough and big men that are anything less than generationally good are just salary fillers.

If this is true, he only wants a big market and he is likely coming to Chicago

They said it's a rumor, but I haven't seen it anywhere. That's why I've asked.

All-time great stars aren't going anywhere, Red. That's always going to be the hurdle.

3-point oriented offenses aren't going anywhere either unless they move the line way back.

Seriously. The bulk of championships won in the last 27 years are by:

Jordan
Shaq
Kobe
LeBron
Duncan
Wade

The others: Hakeem, Dirk, Curry, Durant, Isaiah, 04 Pistons

There will always be trendy team structures but unquestionable superstars solve the bulk of team building and championship puzzles. We don't need to be concerned about matching up with teams that are in their prime today.
