The implication could mean that it really is only a matter of time before Jimmy is gone. I can't come up with any other explanation for it. And it's just typical right? Instead of you hearing the Bulls being interested in Batum... no you hear them interested in Turner.

I thought last night's pick meant that they were out of the SF market.


Some of these guys gotta be moved right?
I can't make any sense of Turner when we just drafted Valentine. Makes no sense

I mean wtf is the plan at PG? Grant?

I feel like ship sailed last night of trading Jimmy, that was the time to do it.

Maybe Boston gets desperate and does Brown/Nets 2017? That would be fukking amazing, even thought I don't like Brown over Dunn

I just don't know right now breh ... if they don't plan on complete rebuild, they better make a HUGE move during FA .... whether it's a signing ... or packaging guys like Doug, Niko, Taj, Sac pick for someone like Bledsoe??

I just don't know man

What Boston is doing makes even less sense than the Bulls. Makes me think something could be done with them but GarPax and Ainge are a bunch of stubborn a$$holes so I doubt it.

They'll come around.

Getting a Minny/CLE vibe with this. How Wiggins/Love didn't happen right away.

Jimmy won't be in a Bulls uniform to start the season, I'm guessing.
I had the create a thread ready to hit submit thinking Jimmy was gone last night - but now? I think its gone


If it was happening, it was last night IMO

Grant is a PG, think of Reggie Jackson, he's in that type of mold.

But, if your starting Grant playoffs and competing is definitely out the picture, he's a year or two away.

As it stands right now - and until Jimmy is traded, they seem set on re-tooling, not re-building

that would require a huge trade or a monster FA period, which I just dont see happening

My worst nightmare is them doing enough patchwork in FA to be just outside the playoffs, and getting like the 10th pick. That just absolutely cannot happen

If they are unable to provide this roster enough talent to be a surefire playoff team (and build off of that moving forward and hoping for a strong 2017 FA), then they absolutely MUST tear everything down, trade Jimmy and start from scracth with whatever assets Jimmy yields, our young guys, and the prized 2017 pick after being terrible

who is to say Grant doesn't vastly improve? He was the man in Notre damn...known for his basketball IQ and grit...

what if he tightens up his dribble...I like smart players with a great work ethic if we can't get athletic freaks..

They need a clear rebuild, I know they love Butler but where the team is doesn't line up with his prime years, and signing dudes like Mike Conley and shyt wont really help them get by the Cavs or honestly move them into the top 4-5 in the East.

GarPax all about that patchwork, so you know they gonna throw some new paint on that 94 Accord, get some new tires and drive that shyt into the ground.

The best case scenario would be the Celtics striking out in FA, that's when you can get the best deal.

He can improve, but it won't be enough to get them to compete or anything, the Central division is no joke.

I would be cheering for this, but why didn't they just take Dunn if they were serious about wanting Jimmy?

I don't even want to make a deal with Boston since they don't even have Dunn who is the guy the Bulls wanted to begin with.

I think it's an insurance policy just in case they don't get Butler, they took the guy they like that still has a high enough ceiling to be included in a trade. Who knows, maybe the Kings told them they like Brown, I think once FA hits things will get a lot clearer.

Maybe Spencer Dinwiddie is the answer at PG brehs
:mjcry:

Can they just waive Jose Calderon or something? If we gonna suck, I want to suck with with all young players playing. Shred these old brehs like Dunleavy, Calderon etc

I actually watched Grant alot in college (ND on all the time here) and was hoping the Bulls could get him to backup DRose last season

Hes a super smart player, wont turnover the ball much and can make plays for others

Hes big for a PG and has the body to be a good defender

His shot aint the worst, if he can become a capable shooter he could be really nice

Reggie Jackson aint a bad comparison, but I think Reggie is more of a scorer than Grant

I dont see why he coudnt develop into a mid tier PG that can give you like 16 & 6-7 and decent defense down the road

Its funny a year ago before the 2015 draft I bet people didnt think there was a huge gap between him & Dunn
