Famine...STARVATION...Delusion...RACIST: A Chicago Bulls Story (2014 Offseason Thread)

[Brozay]

Please please please move up in the draft to ensure that you can get a good/great shooting prospect... they'll have to be extremely lucky for 1 of those guys to fall to them at 16.

James Young should be available it looks like

@HowardBeck
Rival exec tells me Rockets already have a Jeremy Lin deal lined up and ready to execute if they need the cap room to sign Melo or LBJ.

 

[NatiboyB]

I'd trade his ass irregardless of bron and melo...they could sign someone else.

Reggie been wanting Melo on the squad for the longest. I don't know why nikkas fell for that bogus report that Derrick didn't want him.
Moving up for Staukus would be a solid move.

.@RicBucher said on our show the report that D Rose wouldn't want to play with Melo or wants Love more "couldn't be further from the truth."

DAMN - so @AVXL 's sources were wrong?

Sources say the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls are two teams to keep an eye on in the Stephenson sweepstakes. The Hornets could offer Stephenson a lucrative contract, with the franchise only on the books for $42.6 million, in an effort to upgrade at shooting guard over Gerald Henderson.

One general manager whose team is under the salary cap believes Stephenson’s upside at 23 and talent will ultimately negate concerns over his maturity level. “He probably hurt himself at some level with his immaturity during the playoffs,” the general manager told SheridanHoops. “However, clearly his talent is evident so I expect a team to make him a fairly significant offer probably in the range of $8-10 million (per season) for three years.

Two agents told SheridanHoops they believed a 3-year, $18 million offer would be realistic. “Long enough for security for Lance, short enough security for the team if he fails or they need to move him,” one agent said. An Eastern Conference scout also weighed in on the debate. “Teams will be interested, but cautious at the same time,” the scout told SheridanHoops. “Worst offer he will get is a full mid-level exception, which is about four years, $23 million. I would say the best offer is probably around $8-9 million per year, but it might not be a four-year offer.”

Source: Bulls still actively looking to move up by packaging 16/19. Not sure if it's a player to keep or one to dangle in a trade, however.

 

[Jplaya2023]

I don't mind giving lance a 3 year 27 million dollar contract. That's great value

You're obsessed with me

Go cry about not getting a player you were never gonna get anyway clown

 

[red222]

David Aldridge says no doubt the Bulls will trade 1 if not both tonight.

Oh I forgot, Jimmy Butler is irreplaceable. That whopping 13 ppg in 40 minutes on 39% shooting with overrated D is hard to find

Meanwhile Nick is putting up 18 ppg in 28 minutes and his salary was less than Jimmy's

Nick Young and Melo would be a great move. Even if you have Nick coming off the bench. Unless you are a believer in Snell
