I'm all-in on Thabo. Perfect add to bench rotation next to White.

This, and the fact that there appears to be nothing that will dissuade a vocal subset of media personalities and fans from this mistaken belief.

I mean, we Bulls fans bemoan the fact that a world class city like Chicago and the franchise of Michael freaking Jordan isn’t a top tier destination. But we also don’t convince ourselves every time we have cap space that we’re totally first on everyone’s list this time. The Krause debacle of 2000 disabused many of us of that notion. Even when everything was lined up just right in 2010, we mostly realized there were no guarantees, Broussard’s hype aside.

Enjoy the ish-show fellas! ;-)

looks like Memphis may waive Bradley - he'd be an awesome MLE candidate.

Interesting. Where would he be in the rotation?

I like Kawhi and all but this fool is just being a diva at this point. Every day its his decision should come tomorrow.... then the next day the headline is "Kawhi Leonard Remains Undecided, Won't Make Announcement On Friday" at what point does the dude pick a side?

Back-up SG, if Val can beat him out great. I can see minute distribution something like:

Satoranky 26/ Lavine 30 /White 23/ Bradley 17...there may be a few more available minutes for White/Bradly if Satoransky takes some SF min too.

We don't need to make any more additions without any subtractions. We have a lot of players, some are going to have to be sent to the WC Bulls, traded or waived. Satoransky, White and Arci can share the 48 PG minutes a game. Bradley is an OK player. More of a short SG than a PG. He's a good defender. If we added him then Satoransky would have to play more SG or the "3". Bradley is set to make $12.5 Million this season. He's a FA in 2020. So he's on the last year of a 2 year deal. I suppose we could add him if we could get rid of Felicio, Dunn and Valentine. Then our depth chart would be PG: Bradley, White and Arci. SG: Lavine, Satoransky, Blakeney OR Shaq Harrison SF: Porter, Satoransky, Hutch, maybe TLC (in street clothes most nights) PF: Lauri, Thad Young , JaKarr Sampson C: Wendell, Kornet, Gafford. We can only carry 15 on the roster and only 13 active.

Or he is genuinely undecided and pondering his options. He has a financial empire at stake, as well as his career. He'll make a decision in his own time and on his own terms, as he should too. Making a decision just because people are waiting for you to do it - not smart.

And where do those headlines come from? Someone asks his camp, and they say maybe friday. Then they ask again, and they're "nah man, he hasn't decided yet", and that becomes the new headline.

I'm currently on the market to buy a house. There are several options, all with their upsides and downsides. The sellers and real estate agents would want me to make a decision asap, but for me there are lots of things to consider, and I'll make a decision when I'm ready.

Remember Carmelo? How many threads did we have? More than 20 iirc

Gotta do cool stuff like this to keep up with the Knicks in entertainment value.

Yep, beat those Knick that got Durant.
I mean could not get a meeting.

Hey at least you guys still Porzingus.
Ops but at least you guys got value. No

Hey but Porzingus did not want to play in NYC.
This is just stupid, but it I is the Knicks. He was a restricted free agent coming off an ACL. He would have signed.

Porzingus was trade to sign Port is. LOFL.

At least you nailed Zion.
NOPE.

Knicks are trash maybe in the next century.

Man the Knicks sure do seem to get under your skin. Maybe it's window envy, the are run like a big market team while the bulls are ran like a mom and pop.

1. Durant)Not seriously interested after injury.
2. Porzingis)The Knicks traded porzingis for cap room and picks, and signed a player who may arguably be better than him currently and in the future.
3. Zion) if the Knicks got zion, they expressed they wanted to trade him for an established star. They didn't treat him as a savior.

Lol I'm a bulls fan as well, just don't see the disdain for the Knicks around here. The bulls came out on top in their rivalry in the 90s, so the begrudging behavior seems displaced.

Not a singleplayer you signed is on Porzingus level.

You really do not have a clue.

Is there anyway to ship out Felicio/Dunn and sign Green with the remaining cap?
Might as well use Val/Hutch to get rid of those bums.
The Bulls have too many dead weights that wont contribute in the playoffs.

Sounds like Dwight Howard will be available soon. Traded to Memphis, will be released.

Yeah! We I mean it is nothing compared to Machado and Harper and less than LeBron but yeah why take 5 days to decide your future?

Bradley's always been pretty overrated and he's not the player he used to be, but we're talking about like a 9th/10th man here. He shot it well last season, would be pretty good for cheap. Insurance for Val's rotation spot if he's not up to it.

I'd guess he's Lakers bound.

DAAAAMN,what a shocker when I woke up, Kawhi & George teaming up, LA Clippers are deeeep and strong,now they only need to sign another center to start or backup Zubac, plus vet PG for backup.. I wish they would pick up Dwight Howard, this could motivate him!

Beverley, George, Leonard, Harrell, ?? Howard?
Shamet, L.Williams, McGruder, Harkless, Zubac, Kabengele

Lakers as it stands now ( very likely Rondo is re-signed too) :
Rondo, D.Green, James, Kuzma, A.Davis
Horton-Tucker, T.Daniels, KCP, J.Dudley , ??, J.McGee
they have few options to pick up like Igoudala, A.Bradley, JR Smith, Korver, Q.Cook, Ian Clark, Justin Holiday for SF, J.Crawford,
S.Johnson, D.Miller, Sefalosha, Marcus Morris and soo on.. still some solid players out there to fill out the bench.

But lets not forget about great offseason that Utah Jazz had and their very good balanced team :
Conley, Mitchell, Ingles, Bogdanović, Gobert -- 1st lineup
Mudiay, Exum , O'Neale, Jeff Green and Ed Davis -- backup, plus they will make another move for sure

Also young and upcoming Denver Nuggets as the round up the top heavy 4 in the WEST :
Murray, Harris, Barton, Millsap, Jokic -- 1st lineup
M.Morris, Beasley, Craig, MPJ, Lyles, Bol Bol and few others..
