I'm still gonna be surprised if the Bulls (or anyone) took Porter over any of the top 6 if available. Or Carter. Porter is an option starting at 8 when reasonable alternatives are gone. Hell maybe even Knox has presented now as a reasonable alternative. Porter is probably a Knick or Cav.


Porter has be the guy at 7 unless his back is broken. Carter just screams settling for mediocrity. We need elite talent. We screwed up our tank so we must pay up to move up or take a risk on Porter.

Hopefully Pax is taking his Vicodin tomorrow. I'm with you. Carter isn't mediocre, he just doesn't have elite upside that can win the East, ever.

Atlanta could grab Jackson instead of Young if he's on the board at 6...

But all three of those guys in reality aren’t equal. I’d hope our FO can do better than separating guys into tiers...that’s something fans do because of a lack of information. I’d feel much better if they have a guy and go get him.

Griffen.... no one has improved more offensively in 2 months than Bamaba. Can he have a motor defensively all the time now

I when I start hearing discussion about Porter taking a redshirt year, I get real scared. I mean, he hardly played last year. I would be almost two seasons off in a row. And this is not a broken bone that will heal back stronger than it was. Yikes. I was on the bandwagon, but I’m off.

MPJ does scare me, but I don't believe in the whole "redshirt" thing.

Not going to be one trying to believe in conspiracy theories but that seems like something someone leaked so it would scare off teams.

The Bulls are not taking Porter and are hoping someone in front of them takes him. They think the back is going to be something that could be with him his entire career.

I like Bamba but that statement is ridiculous to me. The guy hasn’t played 5 X 5 in two months. No one knows how much he’s improved, if at all.

I wish they would. This FO has no balls.

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.


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


What goodies (assets) does Dallas have? DSJ is off the table and everyone else is a vet with a big contract. Future picks?

I didn't mean Carter is mediocre, but moreso our outlook as you said.

You have inside sources or is this just your opinion?
