Re: Lonzo Ball Thread (UPDATE: Bulls Offer Sato + 2nd Round picks)
Playing w the Capulator, seems to me like if the Bulls Renounce Lauri/Felicio, Denzel, Temple, Kornet, Mokoka, Dotson, then decline options on/renounce Wagner, Arc, Troy Brown, team can free up ~$16M in cap space. Wave/Stretch Thad and Sato and that increases to $35M. So potentially run with Vuc, Zach, Aminu, PW, Coby, Max guy, 7 min guys. If you think that's a meaningful team.

Lauri for Collins swap would been great for both teams

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.
NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Oh, AK is for real about moving Lauri then. Damn. I guess he's seen enough and he along with Evs now saw what happened with the development of the players.

Bulls team better without Lauri playing
That’s probably all that needs to be said

That was the tweet before Hutch+Gaff trade. Bulls indeed weren't done by then yet. Doesn't mean Lauri doesn't get moved still, but personally I don't think AK wants to move him now.
There are three kinds of people: Those who can count, and those who can't.

My guess is the pelicans have all the offers on the table they are debating it heavily and will make a decision right before time expires

Ball for Lauri swap makes sense. But if the Pels want more, then we'd easily be overpaying. I wouldn't do that. I'm not sure if AKMEBD are out on Lauri as much as they obviously were on WCJ (benched), Hutch (??), and Gafford (DNPs and Kornet playing over him).
I'm personally good either way. Lonzo would help our playmaking issues, but I can also see why they would want to hold on to Lauri especially now that he can squarely be a 3rd option behind Zach and Vuc. That's kinda like his ideal role IMO.

fine by me. nice but not essential piece. we can try to shuffle some players and sign him this offseason if we want him that bad

Ugh - no Lonzo and stuck with Lauri. He should come off the bench, right? Thad is the only big you can put out with Vuc

Why? There's going to be talk about possibly signing him this summer from here on out, since it's known he's interested in Chicago and the interest is mutual. May as well leave it open.

Shame we couldn't at least get Rubio. We've made a step in the right direction, but PG is still a big weakness. Hopefully, Coby starts to settle in now that the deadline has passed.
