This is our finals Bulls brehs :mjcry:

Ayton & Trae career will be impacted by the stability of the franchise & system they go to more than any other player .

I wanna root for Trae but he got too many glaring flaws.

What's his glaring flaws on offense? Shot selection? Height?:patrice:

If you're drafting him for his offense (which you should be) you should be fine as long as you can make up for his defense with the other 5 guys on the roster.

Off ball & shot selection. His off ball movement is Bron horrible. He can easily be stopped by more athletic players. Needs to find ways for easy buckets.

inb4 NBA gifts the Cavs the 1st pick again since Bron might leave:mjgrin:

I don't think it matters whether he stays or goes.I could still see the "powers that be" gifting him Ayton.

I think one of the following teams will leap into the top 3......Knicks, Bulls, or Cavs.

I think the lottery has been rigged to strengthen the Eastern Conference over the last 4-5 yrs.

They gotta prepare for life without Bron out there

I think off ball movement gets fixed with a decent coach and another player on the floor that can make a play, so I guess in that regard you're correct about him needing to be in a stable environment, but I think he'll be fine regardless of that fact. You just can't go all in on him and expect all-star level play, don't look at him as a player to put pieces around but rather just a piece.

That's the problem...Top 10 isn't expected to be "just a piece".
