Better be unprotected or very light protections....seems like a clearing cap space move

Someone please check on Clifford. I would pay a fair amount of money to have seen his reaction, assuming his head didn't literally explode.

I am not high on Wendell Carter and two first-round picks from The Bulls won't be that good. The Magic could have reloaded the wing position with Gordon and Fournier deals and then used their high pick to take a swing.

Now, it's another rebuild starting with a bad return here.

Holy **** !

I am going to very unproductive today if this is how things are going.

We are going to epically tank without Vuc, oh well, it’s for the best IMO. Although I was looking for more of a quick tank and reshuffle before coming back with Vuc and getting back into the playoffs next year, still possible but tougher without Vuc

Also is this *really* the best return we could get?

Not convinced.

OK, signing off for a while whilst emotions are running high.

2021 and 2023 draft picks. Misread sorry. Knicks got something similar for KP I guess that was the barometer of the deal.

People are missing the best part of this deal (and the deals that are about to follow), we are tanking HARD, if we dont finish with a bottom 2-3 record, ill be shocked

moves for bigger name guys would of been a way to retool........we are clearly going full rebuild and im all for it

The Bulls 2021 1st round pick is slotted 10th overall right now.

They're like one LaVine or Vucevic ankle roll away from that being a wildly valuable pick.
