Today wasn’t about this game...it’s going to take time for Kemba to find his role. I’m in a tough spot here right now...I really loved Derrick Rose back in Chicago in that 6th man role behind Conley, but he doesn’t fit as much with Kemba and will have a reduced role...yet he is constantly showing out.

There are big decisions to be made in Chicago. This may finally be the year we bring one home...and I wanted to do it with my hometown boy. But I need to find a way to replace my Starting PF Thad Young, who can also come back to bite me now that he was released (I was NOT expecting that from Hezi). Kinda jumped the gun trading Marv for Batum...but I like what Batum brings as a secondary ball handler / playmaker who doesn’t need shots and is very versatile defensively.

With that said...

The Bulls are officially taking offers on Derrick Rose.

Sim god Payton would be a nice compliment to Kemba...it’s unfortunate salaries weren’t more aligned. I’d hate to give up the fully healthy and perfectly intact Achilles Tendon’d, Rodney Hood, and cost me another rotation player.

But, if it drives the price up for 2010...then I’m definitely still interested...

Zion looks as advertised (and last night was just a slight preview of what he’s capable of). That’s bad news if you’re an Eastern conference team. This is just ridiculous. Zion, Doncic, Towns, and Mitchell? Once the sim catches up they’ll appear in consecutive finals for years to come. Especially being that they’re so freakin young. As long as KOC doesn’t get addicted to trades, this game is soon to be over. It’s all our jobs to break that mess up before it gets out of hand.

By the time the SIM catches up he will only have one year of KAT and Mitchell...but he will also have 625 in capspace..I'm not sure which is worse..

Zion has a long way to go...As I said on first glance when I barely saw Morant and Zion- I'd draft Morant over Zion...we'll see
if the kid puts the work in- both strength and conditioning wise, mentally and shooting wise...Not to mention, if the other variables
work itself out in his favor like coaching, GMing etc...

There’s obviously some sarcasm in there such as “this game is soon to be over”, “it’s all our jobs to break it up”, etc. No one is worried...but you have to give KOC props for what he’s assembled over there. It’s pretty amazing and could very well be a nightmare for Eastern Conference teams like Jordan was for the Knicks. Sim is unpredictable yes, but give that man his props! That team could end up being a dynasty once all players reach their potential imo.

Listening to offers on Ivica Zubac. His sim rating this year based off last year when he was buried on the Lakers bench for most of the year. He should see a nice sim boost next year.

Not looking to sell low but want to see what's out there. An expiring of about $14 or less along with draft compensation is what I'm looking for.

Still looking to make some moves around the edges... Mainly looking for an upgrade at C. Will listen on Dragic.

Dedmon 1/28
Bembry 3/7
Delon Wright 3/22

Hit me. I'm free all day.
