Watch for Jusuf Nurkic. He can be a very good center in the NBA when developed. Watch for a team who needs to draft a center, draft him high.
Yeah, I know, that's why I said, I wouldn't be opposed to that trade if the Bulls flat out knew that Melo wasn't coming to ChicagoThis biggest problem with any trade to Sac is you have to take a contract since they are so over the cap. So you would have to take Williams or Terry contract. Regardless of what i think about Taj or Butler trade value, that might take the Bulls out of any trade for that pick. Honestly, the 19th plus Taj isn't bad value at all. Gets them a decent pick and a decent vet. With that said, Chicago taking a contract would make it impossible to afford Melo so I don't see this happening. I still see Taj being traded for pennies if signing Melo is their goal. Chicago thinks too highly if they think teams want Mike D that badly. Even for cap space as it is precious to many teams this year.
We will see. I think Chicago has options this year but Melo is more of a wishful talk due to all the moves they would have to make. I really don't know where Melo will end up. #8 might not be a position Chicago wants. They might want top 3 but who doesn't?Yeah, I know, that's why I said, I wouldn't be opposed to that trade if the Bulls flat out knew that Melo wasn't coming to Chicago
They should of kept Teague and just tanked the season. DJ Augustine literally saved Chicago's yearWe will see.

Yeah, the Teague trade killed your tank breh. Like Antic coming back from his injury. When Brand was our starting center, we were horrible.They should of kept Teague and just tanked the season. DJ Augustine literally saved Chicago's year
The front office wanted to tank too, but they gave Thibs just a slither of enough to make something out of this team and the rest is what it is.
The Wolves aren't trading Love and Cleveland isn't taking Love without an ext which will never happen even with the mystical Lebron mention.the wolves were only 1419 steps away from having Waiters, Thompson and the #1 pick
Shut up you pathetic old man
Randomly we have an anomaly in the draft.
Those players are: Josh Smith, Rondo, Lebron James, AK47, Shawn Marion, Derrick Williams, Beasley, Joe Alexander. Tweeners who game doesn't fit a direct category. Of course some overcome. Some dominate: Lebron and Magic. Some fail.
This year it's Aaron Gordon.
If Aaron Gordon Is So Smart, Why Does He Play Like Josh Smith? | Dean On Draft
To me I like him a lot. I think he can easily bust but he can be special as well.
I can't liken him to any player because he is different.
He has some Josh Smith, some Marion, some Pippen, some K. Leonard, etc.
I like his game a ton but some like @Malta hate his game. We will see.
I don't see Blake Griffin. Not enough body mass. No where near as skilled or even close offensively. Not really a PF in the NBA. I personally see him as a below average NBA PF prospect. I see him as an average SF prospect but his potential in the right system and role, he could be special.aaron gordon is the one guy i hope turns into what i think he can be.
which is a blake griffin 2.0, type.
i think the kid is great.
although the league could fukk him up and he becomes:
shariff abdur raheim
so, it could go either way.
although, i hope this kid makes the transisiton and does well.

The fukk happened since the other day. I come back to the thread and all hell broke loose.
I heard we should trade for JSmooth to pair with Cousins and that IT was what gel'd the team. Get that shyt outta here. IT is a 5'8" version of Lance Stephenson without the defense. Malone talks about how he wants to be a defensive team, you can't do that with a gunner that's cheeks on defense. Literally the only way you bring IT back is if he accepts a 6th man role for like 4-6 million a year, 7 being the highest.
You don't know what the hell Gay's gonna do and he also has a big as contract at like 19 mil for next season. If you can get him to renegotiate, i'd be for keeping him, but I think he want's the money. Ship him out and try to get some good pieces for him.
@GoldenGlove here's a redo on the trade from yesterday:
Would Bulls brehs do this if yall don't get Melo or Love? 8th and Rudy Gay for Taj/Jimmy/the rights to Mirotic or if yall don't wanna give up Mirotic, how about the 19th pick instead?
I'd take a line up of:
McCallum
McElmore
Butler
Gibson
Cousins
with the Mirotic or the 19th pick plus all the cap room we'd get from trading Gay.
Anyone who says IT is basically like Teague needs to be banned. Teague is a much better PG than IT. Thomas lack of size and defense skills with his offensive consistency being average makes him your typical stud 6th man. Jeff is at least a good player in general regardless of what I think of his PG skills. I like IT, he is talented and a fun player to watch but no team can start him at PG in today's NBA without paying a price.

dam people still calling for isaiah thomas' job just because they dont like his height.
discrimination.
