I’d prefer Lonzo but I’m more than okay with Gary Trent Jr as a pick up.

There are worse things than rolling with Sato at PG and good wing depth.

Yup, then he’ll deliver NV’s mom some flowers.


Team chemistry is already great. Love it.

One fixes out PG issues... The other... a slight upgrade over what White does.

I mean, he’s averaging 24 and 10 with 40% 3 pt shooting. Not like he’s a garbage man.

The ceiling of the team is squarely on PAW’s shoulders. But the floor is way higher.

So excited to be making moves with the goal of improving the team. Honestly, look at the history of the franchise, It's often talked about but what was the last trade made for the specific purpose of upgrading the team in the now? Trading for John Salmons and Brad Miller? This is a rare day for Bulls fans.

Also the smaller part of the deal, Aminu, could be a nice fit as a backup 4 for us, a position that lacked depth.

This is where I'm at too. Moves us from a late lottery team to first round exit in the playoffs unless we make some other significant moves. It's a direction, though. The alternative of dealing Zach and going through a 5 year rebuild (again) wasn't very attractive either.

At this point im not sure how anybody can be happy about the move. Vucevic is a really good player but this team is so not ready to compete for anything. A follow-up move or two to establish a primary playmaker on this team could change my mind, but right now we didn't just trade for Vuc, we traded for becoming the Orlando Magic. The same problems Vuc had there, he will have here. He needs a real PG. So does LaVine.

We got guy who can get you 24 and 10 each night with good outside shooting. Bulls 2nd best player was Thad Young at 12/6 per game. Now he is 3rd. That's upgrade. And what we gave up 2 1st rounders top 4 protected.

Would you be happy if AKME is able to land Ball to go with Lavine and Vuc?

Now, it's in Billy Donovon's hands. He's got two top-15 scorers in the game, is the roster perfect, no, but it's time to threaten in the East.

What’s vuc’s ceiling with a PG? And AK has a few hours to get one.
