That is a lot of money for someone who can't make a three in today's NBA.

Bulls will be an interesting team to watch.

22mil a year for a 20 pt a game scorer who is better than a lot of players who make that.. Booker is on a max deal

So the spurs traded Kawhi and Danny Green for Poeltl, Keldon Johnson, Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a future first round pick and two second round picks. Yikes.

That is quite a haul for a SnT. I dont get why bulls felt obligated to give up all that for a player they sign in free agency. I wouldve just said f.u spurs, unload assets just to sign derozan outright without giving up the picks.

Vuc, Lavine and Derozan are bad defensive players. Ball and Williams might be OK but there are 3 guys in the starting 5 opponents can hunt.

He is efficient and a great passer. They will make the playoffs this season.

They would have lost more valuable assets that way. Operating over the cap gives more flexibility for additional moves. By the way that’s gonna be a first round pick in 2025

They've made some moves for a change. Not sure it will get them any where beyond the first round, but they do seem to be heading in the right direction for a change.

Bulls have 3 guys who can score 25pts on any night -- but defensively they will be challenged.

Very talented starting 5 ...

Vucevic - C
Williams - PF
Derozan - SF
Lavine - SG
Ball - G
