Hmm, swapping Demar and Zach. That's kind of interesting but they would hardly play against each other.

I like their fit, if Zach is back to 100%. Surprised to see this from Dejonte though. Thought it would be back channel chats, rather than Photoshopped posts!!

It's a good target for Spurs

Murray, LaVine, Vassell, Keldon, Poeltl -- 10m MLE, Primo, J-Rich, McDermott, Landale

PLus they'd have a top-10 pick, two other FRPs, and still enough cap space to sign someone like Kyle Anderson (they really need a 4).
Definitely a likely playoff team if they can just convince one All-Star level player like Lavine to join up.

The fit is okay at best. Neither guy is all that good at getting his teammates involved in the game. Zach can at least shoot from outside and Murray can at least defend.

Quick delete it, DELETE IT, DJ!

Phew ok he did. But not before getting over 18K likes in like 45 minutes.

Fine incoming surely.

I hope we go after a big like, say, Ayton. Or hell both. We're in a good position this off-season.

Their bffs im not surprised also the bulls tried to trade for Murray but got turned away and ended up doing s&t for ball instead which was not bad at all

Who wouldn't want Lavine? He's good off ball, can get his own shot whenever he wants, is an elite shooter, scores efficiently, and has made more effort defensively since getting into the league at least.

I could easily see him being a 30ppg scorer if he were featured more. He didn't play well in the playoffs but the Bucks are a tough defense, and he wasn't 100%.

Dejounte averaged more than 9 assists a game this season, placing 5th in the league in total assists and 4th in assists per game.
What do you consider good at getting your teammates involved, exactly? :crazy:

The Bulls just literally tried building around Zach with Ball, DD and Vuc but they'll throw that all away because of what exactly?!

I'm sure it would help the Spurs get a little bit better but what is their ceiling after?! From 10th seed PlayIn to 8th seed....maybe?? This is also failing to mention Murray just did a great job slapping the thousand guards the Spurs have in the face lol I'm sure Primo, Vassell and Walker all loved him proposing a trade for another SG.

Just played his hand pretty poorly on this one lol

What do you mean by throwing away? Isn't Lavine an unrestricted free agent? If he leaves there's nothing the Bulls can do to stop him right?

Yeah that's true lol

But I also don't understand why Zach would wanna head to SA and be in probably a worse position for the next 4-5 years. Unless of course the Spurs have some crazy trade in mind with their picks and young players but I don't even see the young big man they'd pair them up with to really make some noise.

I just struggle to see them as FA destination I guess and it doesn't help Murray just let 3+ young, developing top picks on his team know he's not satisfied with them...

Bro, the Bulls aren't getting past your Toronto Raptors, Bucks, Celtics, Heat, and maybe Philly and maybe Nets, he actually has an easier path to competing in the West in a city with no state taxes, decent weather and playing with his best friend foe relatively the same money
