This doesn't make any sense for the Bulls to pick a C and then a PF when they already have Markannen and Portis. Bamba makes sense, it's the Diallou pick at 22 which is the head scratcher.

Yeah Diallo is a SF that actually plays more like a SG, it's a pick that makes sense.

As far as Bamba goes I wouldn't mind him at all, MPJ probably has the higher ceiling but a player like Bamba is rare

Great to have intrigue back in the playoffs:wow:

Pels playing out of their mind and will have a punchers chance against GSW.
OKC is bipolar, could easily lose to Utah and be one of the more disappointing teams of all time. Or they beat Utah and turn up their defense like they did against GS in 16 and upset Houston.

East is up for grabs:wow:

GS still the favorites:hubie: but at least it ain't gonna be like last year

With Steph back I don't think it's a puncher's chance whatsoever.

Steph was shaky coming off the mcl in 2016.
Almost lost to OKC who had a bunch of long, physical defenders.
Holiday is currently making Dame look like a D leaguer.
Mirotic is currently playing at an ALL NBA level:deadmanny:


I give NO a 20% chance.

Everybody in the East specifically has to be looking at Philly as the team to match up with in years to come... so the Bamba pick makes sense. They would have their rim protector to pair with Lauri and somebody to throw on Embiid.

It still might be hard to pass on MPJ if you project him to be a number 1 offensive option in this league down the road. The Bulls have talent on the offensive end, but do they have a legit number 1 who in 5 years from now is good enough to say will lead you out the East?

:patrice:

i was just telling my guy at work i think the reason Kawhi Leonard aint playing is cause hes struggling with some kinda Mankind identity issues right now.
he wants to be regular Mick Foley but his Mankind side wants half his hair braided, half blown out.
but then maybe he wants to be Dude Love and go out and get a conk and shyt. get fly on the court with like 10 elbow pads and leg warmer joints.

whatever the case i think hes gonna fukk the game up and pull an Amare and go to New York.
thats when he'll choose which Kawhi he wants to be.

So if Philly goes on to win a title in the coming years...Will they get the GS treatment?

Seems as if some knock them for building thru the draft with all the Super Team talk.
