The most interesting thing about this game may be who isn't playing.
Winning on the road has been tough this season ... but this should be a winnable game.

who you think is not playing besides those we already knew were potential trade chips out for different reasons etc like Dre Prince Love etc?
I guess maybe it will be an indicator that something is happening
I'd still bet on Cedi getting sent out pretty easily esp if Prince isnt and obviously it's leaning towards Javale not Dre getting flipped for a pick.
I still would like to think there is something cooking with Dre but it's probably a pipe dream now. But maybe Koby pulls a rabbit out of his arse possibly even someone nobody expects like Love or Garland even though the odds are against it.
If Nance is not playing they better get a fn lottery pick in 21 or 22

anything less than a high lottery pick or a ridiculously high upside player and Sexton being traded would kill my
ability to believe in this front office who are already on thin ice with me over the KPJ thing...
But Sexton probably has the most trade value outside of Allen and Nance so nothing would surprise me in a season where
Altman is starting to be out under alot of pressure although likely unwarranted at this stage, everyone knows how
owners and investors are worried about the bottom line esp in a pandemic
{ personally think it is a showcase of Darius on the eve of the deadline though lol}

I'm fine with trading Sexton if it's for a lot. An obvious overpay.

I only watched about 30 seconds of the game the other day but I did think he tweaked himself near the very end of the Kings game. Awkward movement of some sort.

Well, the rumor mill says the Heat might be willing to offer their young pieces in a trade (Herro, Robinson, Achiuwa), and I know you like at least one of those players. Herros' value has definitely nose-dived outside the bubble, though.
Supposedly the Heat are targeting Kyle Lowry, which if they do pull something off, there may need to be a 3rd team to just pick up all the pieces the Heat would need to trade to match salary.

He is hurt I saw it on the dvr thats the reason he is out but let the speculation fly as it would not surprise me if him being out had some other reason more likely imo to be to give DG more attn or maybe Osman

I mean I hate to be that guy, but what if Sexton just has a pulled hamstring?

Darius had a nice game, the Bulls announcers talked him up a lot more than their own Coby White. They like White's scoring but seem to feel White can't be trusted to stay under control and not turn the ball over at this point in his career.

Hes been pushed to a bench role there too. I find that interesting since he is really is good when Lavine isnt playing with him.
I would not be surprised to see one of them moved today but at the same time doubt they would part with Lavine after trading for Vuc. Maybe they would take Cedi for White I could see his versatility working in the Cavs rotation.

White just isn't very good on either side of the ball. He's a combo guard off the bench.Stillwater wrote:jbk1234 wrote:Then they were kinder to White than most Bulls fans.JonFromVA wrote:Darius had a nice game, the Bulls announcers talked him up a lot more than their own Coby White.

he is easily good enough to be a 1st guard off the bench player as is on a good team let alone the Cavs in his 2nd season but I think it is absolutely based on poor fit on that CHI roster that he is hated so much and considered not that good. He is good at a lot of things offensively that are being wasted

I mean he can't run an offense, at all, isn't a particularly efficient scorer, and is a poor defender. More importantly, the Bulls aren't seeing the hoped for improvement in these areas despite providing him with more opportunities. He's had the benefit of playing alongside a floor spacer like Lauri and a first option like LaVine. That's a pretty good situation for the third option guy to be in.Stillwater wrote:jbk1234 wrote:White just isn't very good on either side of the ball.
