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.

This 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.
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

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?

They should of kept Teague and just tanked the season. DJ Augustine literally saved Chicago's year

:snoop:

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.

Yeah, the Teague trade killed your tank breh. Like Antic coming back from his injury. When Brand was our starting center, we were horrible.

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.

Shut up you pathetic old man:heh:


only shyt that is pathetic is,..
you trying to deflect when you were clearly wrong and the facts were displayed.
all the other comments in this draft thread are speculation based commentary.
where we can have fun, and speculate on prospectively what could happen.
then, play fantasy gm.
cool,..that is fun.

yet, the comparison of rush to mclemore was dead on and i supplied stats.
that easily illustrate mclemore and rush are kansas alum garbage.
garbage that was garbage in college, too.
rush got by because of size and he played up in the tournie.
[which is not real, every game output.
anybody can play up, collison on OKC, plays up against the lakers.
doesn't mean he is a great big.]

to the point,..you tried to scoff at the comparison like mclemore was at the very least a beal like nba plyaer.

on top of the fact,..
you quoted the original post.
where the stat i copied were unchanged, before i got to change them for clarity purposes.

then, you see you were wrong,...
then it turns into deflection.
where your wack insult is my age.
which has no effect on me, whatsoever.
when, i would have tabled you just the same in any discussion at twenty on the internet.
to my current age, now.
i have fifteen close to twenty years of being a top drawing underground rapper.
who is a critic on the internet.
i am the GOAT rapper/critic on the internet, nikka.
i am the only rapper who would body your favorite rapper.
then, embarrassed hordes of people you like in plenty of capacities, at numerous ages.
not to mention, profession in the just the ISP game.
i could go down as a GOAT in that as well.
while you have not done a fukk'n thing with your huff packet under the carseat face ass life, incomparison.

it is obvious,..you are a bytchmade poster who got run off from the spot/booth.
all because you don't know and have no mastery of any real topic of discussion.

then, you turned into a bytchmade delussional hawks fan in the coli.
just to go to show how much more wack of a poster you fukk'n are.
you are a nobody and real talk,....

just because you spend your time over here milling in the sports section.
does not mean you know sports better than me at all.

i just tabled you like i do any and everybody else...so stop being a bytch and admit you were wrong.
when, it comes to comparative posts.
when, facts are concerned, you lil bytch made fukk boi.
like i said say sumfin else, and i table you the fukk up, punk.

nikkaz, be talking like they on some shyt in this community.

boi, you know you ain't on shyt!
as far as the GOAT is concerned, little nikka.

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.

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.

Nothing special about SAR. SAR used to get his shot blocked often, was too small for the position, and he used to stat pad like crazy. He is nothing like SAR.

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.


if IT did not play defense.
that is on your huff ass coach, breh.
not to mention, the kings damn near held a coup for IT.
now, granted IT, maybe little.
yet, when it comes to helping the kings.
did he or did he not in some fashion from team chemistry help your squad.
did he or did he not help the basket case feel more comfortable.
to the point the team rallied for IT and that included a very vocal cousins?

just because in hindsight the kings were bad.
don't try to downplay, what little good that occurred.
what occurred in sac-town was a confirmed team coup to get IT his recognition, tick and respect.
which came from the roster of the kings.
a coup that gel'd that unit for how well they were going to be under a wack inept coach.
that is a fact.....

the coach of the kings is huff, that is a fact.

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.


if IT made it into the playoff's like teague in a weaker conference.
it would post the same numbers as teague.

as a matter of fact,.....
IT's numbers based on 36 min PER are better historically in his first three years as an undersized player.
when compared to teague.
plus, his raw numbers in his career.
judged on the same timeline, are better than teague's, as well.

IT
Isaiah Thomas NBA & ABA Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

TEAGUE
Isaiah Thomas NBA & ABA Stats | Basketball-Reference.com

again, you just talembout teague playing up on tv in the off's.
yet, thomas has not made the off's.
plus, has better numbers and is six inches shorter than teague.

IT right now on paper > TEAGUE

melo is not going to take a paycut.
just to go to the off's with the bulls.
plus, the bulls are a wack racist organization.
built on saving face as a character spot for deflection on their racism.

why would melo, fukk'n leave ny for chicago.
why would melo leave the dopest location, he could be in next to his fam.
for fukk'n chicago, where they have no firepower, and no healthy starpower.

the shyt is not happening,......

if it happens, cool.
yet, there is nuffin that says melo is coming to the bulls.
besides some rumored reports and fan anticipation.

if melo was coming to the bulls.
especially judged on how he was in denver to get to NY.
if would be more than speculative press.

melo to the bulls is just a dirt rag suntimes/trib story.
meets ny grocier rag news story to spark discussion and get some website hits and sell a few papers.

melo is not coming to chicago.

stop wishing for shyt that logistically make not one iota of sense.

especially with phil jackson in NY, too.

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

discrimination.


nikkaz ain't watched the kid.
plus, have not fukk'n looked at the numbers.
or peeped any of the social action in sac-town.
sac-town is a loser squad.
the furtherest from chicago, you could be.
that even i notice and got the news of how good the kid is and the situation of the coup lead by cousins for IT.

how these nikkaz on here trying to dispute the facts that shyt happened, is telling as hell.
