NBA Draft 2018 6.0: Lucky #7 and 22.

[thewraith]

Same as he did last year at times -- space the floor and hit assisted 3s.

This is what I would like to see happen, but it's real stretch to say that is what he did last season. Teams basically leave Dunn open for 3s.

He better be in the gym all summer working on that shot.

If he can work on and improve that shot to respectable levels I don't see why we can't draft young then. Dunn can be off ball at times and Young, Lauri, and improved Dunn shooting would be good. I don't know if Dunn 3 will improve though. I hope it does either way.

I'd do 7, 22 and a future protected (top 5-8) 1st for #3

Mikal Bridges seems like such a Bulls player. Love to get a second pick high enough to nab him....

He does. Yet apparently Knox ate his lunch in a workout. FWIW

I believe that was the other Bridges, Miles.

MIkal is perfect for this team, but only after we get one more star talent player.

Confirmed. I'm in a highly confused state today. I cannot keep my ITs and Bridges straight.

The other thing Griffin said was that the Bulls are in a situation that they can take project players, or Porter if he needs Xtra time to rehab. He mentioned Porter would be a great pick at #7.

Where is he saying this lol

If we trade up to 3 and draft Bamba over Doncic I’m going to be a sad, sad panda.

yeah. i like bamba a lot at 7, but i'm iffy on trading up for him at all, let alone when we're also bidding against teams that value doncic highly

Bamba is Tyson Chandler all over again in terms of potential. We will need to be very patient with him.

He's not Tyson Chandler though, that's the thing

Man I just don't know. I'd rather include Portis over #22 and obviously over the future 1st.

Shoot. If Atlanta’s set on moving back for Trae, Orlando can block our move-up trade by insisting they’ll take Trae at 6.

Same. Bet you that Orlando offer got leaked to drive up the price. See if anyone panics.

I suspect this is the price, brother. And as I said 84 pages ago, I’d pay it.

My guess is it means we have 7, 22 and cap space.

The other teams with cap space and more than one first round pick are Atlanta and Phoenix. They have the first and third picks in the draft, but might be looking to move up with their later picks. But it's difficult to go from say...16 to 4.

No I mean like, are WE highly leveraged in that teams can take advantage of us? Or are we highly leveraged because we have the assets and the player that we want to acquire?

In a way, both can be occurring at the same time. But it means that with our lineup and assets, we are luxuriously in position to get something done, and we have a target in mind as motivated buyers. The other team he mentioned like that was Philly.

Good catch. I forgot about Philly. But I think they might want to keep their cap space for a possible free agent.

What does it mean to be in a highly leveraged position?

Like, they are a pipe with a lot of water pressure inside. They can bring a strong stream to focus on the flame. Lots of extra assets like Portis. Much flexibility to do deals with their roster. High capability. I'll stop now.

We're about to add Lafayette Fat Lever to our coaching staff. #Leveraged

That should be the term to describe a stat sheet when a combo guard gets a triple double.

Yea if Sac sticks with Bagley, I can more realistically see and ATL-DALLAS swap. Dallas gets Doncic at #3, and ATL gets trae at #5 + an extra goodie from Dallas

Maybe. They have a gang of second round picks to grease the skids as well.

Eh...Portis is starting to be undervalued by the board...it would be extremely surprising of #22 is as good as Portis.

Others have said i’m nuts, but trade with memphis 4/parsons for 7/portis/asik and then move up from 4 to 3. Use Val,portis, next years 1st protected to make it happen.. this could block magic at their own game.

[Dresden]

You guys need to relax, we are not getting Doncic lol. Setting up yourselves for real disappointment when the pick is Wendell Carter Jr and Chandler Hutchison

Wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Having 3 floor spacing bigs would help out a ton on offense, plus both Carter and Hutch promise to be good to very good defenders, something we are in sore need of.

[boundbymusic]

Unrelated: someone please explain to me why I keep coming back here every trade deadline and draft season?

Seriously hoping that Reinsdorf, Pax and/or Gar have burner accounts on RGM where they’ll give info to us.
