Why would Morant be on the market?

Not saying he is. But rarely any player is on market until he is on market. He is having bit down year. Grizzlies dont look so hot. Last year he was viewed untouchable. I am sure if Bulls offer package of unprotected picks for Morant as they would do in some KAT scenario for instance, Grizzlies are picking up a phone at least. This aint happening last year

I don't think either team is picking up the phone. The only time these guys get moved is if they ask out.

Rumors are we like Andre Drummond when he gets a buyout but so do the Lakers and I don’t see us winning that battle lol

TJ McConnell with the rare triple double of 16 pts, 13 assists, and *10 steals*
Has he improved to the point where you could start him? Low 3p%, but otherwise pretty solid.
He might be the walmart version of Lonzo and is a UFA.

T.J. is the rich man's version of Archie. He's a really good bench player, as long as you limit his minutes, so that he can do the High Energy thing. I'd love to have him -- at the right price.

If Toronto (@ Boston), Indiana (vs Denver), and Miami (@ Pels) find a way to lose tonight, we might find ourselves in the top 8 once again going into the All Star break. All those teams are underdogs.

Man, the officiating on this Boston and Toronto game has been something else...
Guys can't even touch a Boston player
Constantly underwhelmed by the Bulls.

Which gives 8 more wins against winning teams than we have, although we are the better team. Well sort of. We are the more consistent team, that's for sure. Reliably beat the weaklings and lose to the studs. We've been doing that for 4 years now.

I know this won't stop most people on the Bulls board claiming that the NBA covers up its refereeing mistakes and won't admit to errors, after the league reviews a late call that went against the Bulls and said that the call was correct, but ...

It's unbelievable how fast he dropped. In 2019 he was a 24.5 ppg 7.5 rpg 5.4 apg guy and played 75 games.

Blake is a smart and still very strong player, if he is willing to just box out, make good reads and score on occasion i think it could be a good fit. But buyout guys usually dont make or break a title team.
