The Official NBA Thread: T'Wolves-Mavericks and Celtics-Pacers / Happy Bday broncos19dm, Wavy, B Sox

Been the same old story with the Bulls. They're not going to do what they should do. Rumors been the same for years now.

 

[B Sox]

Legitimately the perfect year for Chicago to just completely blow it up. Below 500 team, but have tradable pieces that every team could use. Could basically wipe the slate completely clean aside from LaVine (not getting traded while hurt), Coby White, and Pat Williams.

 

[pmatic]

Hopefully the hornets don’t break Brandon miller. That man has had it

Chicago should really trade Demar Derozan. He's 34 y/o on an expiring contract, re-signing him at this point ain't doing anything for ya, and letting him walk for nothing ain't doing anything either. Get some picks or young assets to build around. Disappointing this franchise is fine in basketball purgatory 8-10 seed every year

As long as they can keep bringing up the 90's they're happy as an organization.

Bulls' pick next year is top ten protected. Would be organizational malpractice to not make that pick.

Heard through the grapevine of a Lavine move to Philly. With Joel hurt, make the move now and punt for next year

Trading for another guy with injury issues doesn’t make sense

Bulls franchise just cares about putting a decent enough product on the floor to fill the arena. If they put a championship contender on the floor, cool. Otherwise, a team scrounging the play-in is satisfactory.

If all they are about is $, then doing what they are doing is just fine (unfortunately): https://www.espn.com/nba/attendance

Sheesh, Bulls fans' loyal. Absolute travesty what they're doing. Blow it up and build around Colby whites good contract

Can't see that happening. There's been reports they've been lukewarm on LaVine all season and now they're going to trade for him after he has season ending surgery.

I do think Philly should make a trade for someone before Thursday. Unless Morey thinks he can get LeBron or Paul George in the summer, it seems wiser to acquire someone now as opposed to waiting.

We already know what these _'s focused on

Tyla tho

Tyla's whole vibe is just not fair man....perfection.

Yep, they've always been on top of the list. That's the sad part about it, owners are happy just being competitive.

They could get DeRozan pretty easily if Chicago will budge.

Probably wouldn't be my first option, but ya that's sitting right there (with Drummond as a stop-gap until Embiid returns?).

 

[datznasty]

Yall dont think Embiid is gonna be torn meniscus and out for the season?

 

[doublemesh96]

Put some butter and some jelly on embiid cuz he’s toast

Expiring contract, so they could still have flexibility this summer, plus would have his bird rights if they wanted to re-sign him going forward, or S&T.
