Him and Bazz on the same team would sound like an all-Williams sisters matchup

One of those lasting things Kobe shoulda never left behind :smh:
All I hear while watching Timberwolves games when the bench comes in.
Bazz: AND 1!!!!?!!??!
(looks around furiously. No run back on d)

you can tell he has a legit disability cuz when he's focused he's ON but then he drifts into space in the middle of a play, like the control got unplugged.

He needs to stick around just to be Thibs' guinea pig on defense. If he can make him look adequate, he can make anyone look adequate.

Think I'm coming back to Simmons being the top prospect in this draft. The jumper is a huge question but I still think he ends up being a solid player.


I never left I view him as having the most upside I think he will be productive even if he doesn't develope a shot...I also think he will be marketable to an emerging market.

He's got the body type to be a real good defender in terms strength

I been a tanking advocate since high school breh. Its basic economics.
wouldn't it also be basic economics to not trade a pick even if the draft sucks?


The downside is a lot of teams like Boston gotta spend just to hit the floor, so like in this list

Top 50 NBA free agents of 2016: A divisive class after Kevin Durant

Guys like Evan Turner are gonna make $15 mil a year and shyt out of necessity. I know this hurts since you don't like to see brothers provide for generations but #CapGoinUp

When did i encourage someone to trade their pick?

You can hit the salary floor with one hear deals, or you can frontloaf contracts

Its not a 2 player draft though

Bradley has 2 years left on a bargain contract
Rookie is 4 years on bargain deal

Bulls dont have the pieces to compete, they need to rebuild :manny:

If their totally rebuilding fine but I don't think that's what there doing and they still have Rose and his albatross of a contract

If we were to rebuild via trading Butler this wouldn't be the draft to do it. Gar Pax ain't rebuilding or retooling tho

That's my point if they were tearing it down rebuilding fine but that's not happening what's the point in trading Butler for that

The whole two player draft narrative is so stupid.

How? Simmons and Ingram are the only two picks who have a chance to be building blocks

Nobody thinks Bender or Chris's or whoever goes 3 is anything close to that

This has been thought of as a bad star for the past few years because of how bad the high school class from last year was
