Unless they trade down they have to take a big.

I'd say bamba or Carter who ever is there if porter physicals are true.

Well see what happens when Mueller is done with his report. But special counsel investigating the President is big news. I know you werent around for Kenneth Starr, but that was all over the news all the time. The Mueller investigation is news, irrespective of the outcome of the investigation.

Maybe thats why Bulls are trying to get #10? I cant imagine NY passes on Porter, but if Bulls could get like Carter/Bamba at 7 then Porter at 10... That would be a draft to remember. Obviously since its the Bulls it wont happen.

Yeah I dont see the Bulls passing on Doncic. I think they just dont really have a chance at him.

I know Im in the minority, but I just dont get the love for Jackson. I could be way off, but my gut has been telling me Carter is the better player.

I think because of Bagley he just really got overlooked. Its a small sample size, but 40% from 3 is good. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/why-dukes-wendell-carter-man-anchor-bulls-defense In this article they compare him to Horford. But the interesting part is that Carter has better measurables. And he likely will be a better shooter. I know the pick doesnt seem "sexy" but I think hes the guy 10 years from now people could say "I cant believe he went that low."

I think her jacket answers her question. She really doesnt care. BE YOUR BEST AT NOT CARING!

Which is fine by me. The Bulls got lucky in terms of how I view this draft talent. Yes it sucks to miss out on one of the top 3/4 depending on your views of Jackson/Doncic (I personally like Doncic a lot more than Jackson), but in reality I think there are 7 guys who all would be fine at 7. Presuming Doncic, Jackson, Bagley and Ayton all go in the top 4. That leaves Bulls with a guarantee of Carter, Bamba or Porter at 7. (Edit) Its also why I see moving to 4 as somewhat lateral unless Doncic is there. Bamba, Carter and Porter all have their pros/cons and Im just not sure which is really the best. So its kind of nice to just sit there and take whoever gets to you.

This is why Im on the fence about Porter. I know you disagree, but I really think Carter is a very solid pick. Its hard to project out 7, but Im pretty confident one of Porter, Bamba or Carter will be there. And any of those picks are good for different reasons.

Trump is mad people arent calling him elite. His whole life all he has wanted to do is fit in with the ultra rich. It burns him so bad that he really isnt as rich as he claims, and thats why he goes to such great lengths to lie and talk about his wealth.

Shut your mouth. Let my dreams be crushed later.

If its a lottery protected pick then you probably do it. Just no way you can give up an unprotected pick, watch the Bulls suck and then watch your ball get picked for #1 in the lottery. It also really depends on who is there at 4. Since they already have Lauri, you can only really add 1 true big man, so if Doncic is there I think its a no brainer. If not, then youd have to take Porter at 4. At 7 id say Bamba or Carter. C- Carter PF- Lauri SF- Porter Those are all highly skilled offensive guys (Carter a little bit underrated as a defender). You can find some defensive bigs to mix in, but its definitely the start of something.

Carter is a fine pick. I actually think he is slightly underrated because he was on the same team as Bagley. He has pretty good post moves and actually an underrated outside shot. https://nypost.com/2018/06/16/wendell-carters-ceiling-may-be-even-higher-than-expected/ That bottom link also discusses why Carter is underrated. And it has about a 5 minute highlight reel.

Id be fine with that. I mean I dont mind adding salary at all. I dont think the Bulls are going to get a top tier FA this summer, and you can always worry about dumping salary next year if things are progressing well. I really doubt Memphis gives up an unprotected, maybe a top 10 protected.

Haha Im saying the Griz would do it in a second, and Bulls fans (including myself) would be in need of suicide prevention. And hopefully the Bulls arent going to trade the 7th for the 4th + Parsons. It would have to be the 22 plus another asset (Lavine/whoever) for the 4th and Parsons. I know Lavine cant be traded right away, but he is the ideal one to move, because I really dont want to give him a max.

Yes and if the Bull traded an unprotected 1st wed have to start posting the suicide prevention hotline.

I wasnt saying it was a "right wing conspiracy" I was identifying a group of people. That is completely different. You didnt bold the entire statement: right wing conspiracy groups And to be fair, I think there are also left wing conspiracy groups. (edit) But to be fair my statement about not using the phrase was poorly worded. I should have said "I dont call things right wing conspiracies" which is what I meant.

Just really depends on my opinion. I dont think this is about left or right. I think this is about the danger of Trump. And I think that sometimes law officers get over zealous when they go after criminals. No different then catching a drug dealer, etc. Criminals are criminals to them, and I think that a lot of people think Trump broke some laws and the FBI's job is to catch criminals. So of course FBI agents are going to want to get the biggest scalp in American history. (No pun intended, but that is just too good.)

The more I look at Carter, the more I like him. Its a strange situation because he played with Bagley who could so easily dominate the college game. But in a strange way I think Carter could be a more effective NBA player due to his outside game and that he is a more natural defender in the post. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2018/6/18/17473842/wendell-carter-marvin-bagley-duke-nba-draft And I want absolutely nothing to do with Young. It could be like passing on Curry, but there is just something about him that makes worry. Seems like a thinner Ben Gordon.

I dont believe Ive ever used the phrase right wing conspiracy. And its impossible to know if its in jest or not. Im not going to defend what other people do who are not me, but I dont exactly go out of my way to defend the people who say those type of things. Ill take your statement about the left wing power structure and that is the end of it. As for the quotes, I could argue how they are all meaningless, I could argue that they show bias. At the end of the day, (imo) there is no smoking gun of purposefully abusing power due to political reasons. I can definitely be persuaded that the FBI was not favorable to Trump being elected because they were worried he was compromised by Russia, worried he was a criminal and worried that he would use the power of the Presidency to break the law. The real question is, shouldnt the FBI be worried about that? Shouldnt they actually have fear if they believe the potential next President is a criminal and going to break the law? Shouldnt they be concerned if they evidence that the President may be compromised by a foreign entity that is adversarial to the US interests? My opinion is that is their job and if they felt that way about the Democratic nominee, I would hope they would spend every day doing everything they could to determine if it is true or not. And I would hope that if deep down they thought it was true, that they would do what they could to try and collect evidence to bring that person down. Even if that person was someone I would consider voting for. Because the reality is, if they had gone public about the Russia investigation before the election, Trump likely doesnt win. So if anything, they protected him. But thats just my opinion.

Youre the one who called it the "left wing power structure." I am just wondering how its "left wing" when almost every director is from the Republican party. Why did you say left wing if we shouldnt talk about it as a partisan lens? The implication of "left wing power structure" is that the CIA/FBI etc are not Republican. I have no problem with the idea that the FBI was looking into Trump because they think he is a criminal. I have no problem with the idea that the FBI wasnt enthusiastic about having a criminal as President. Again you are the one who keeps saying things like "left wing" conspiracy. I keep trying to point out you are the one who keeps making it political. If you dont want to make it political, quit with the left wing conspiracy nonsense. The people investigating Trump arent left wing. Mueller is not left wing. Comey wasnt left wing. Maybe they were anti-Trump, but just because your anti-Trump doesnt mean your left wing. I honestly dont know if you just forget what you write or you purposefully keep saying "left wing" and then hope people forget about it.

I dont need quotes. Multiple people who have worked for me have been hired by the FBI. Ive been interviewed by the FBI different times as a character witness for potential agents. I personally know people in the FBI. None of them shared my personal political ideas, but I recommended all of them because I felt that they would do their best to enforce the laws, despite what their own beliefs were. You have a little bit of evidence that some workers at the FBI were Democrats. You fail to respond to the fact that Wray is a Republican, Comey is a Republican, Mueller is a Republican, Louis Freeh is a Democrat, William Sessions Republican, William Webster Republican, James Adams Republican, Clarence Kelley Republican, J Edgar Hoover Republican. So despite the fact that since the inception of the FBI there has been only 1 Democrat FBI director, your position is that there is no evidence that FBI leans Republican... And you can absolutely use past norms since before the Trump era. The people who were investigating Trump were all hired BEFORE TRUMP ERA. The people investigating Clinton were all hired BEFORE TRUMP ERA. Not a single person involved was hired after Trump became President. But again, a few text messages from FBI agents is more indicative than the fact that almost every FBI director in the history of the FBI is Republican. Is that really what you believe? I mean honestly, not just some sort of talking point, do you actually believe deep down that the FBI does not lean Republican?

At 7 I think the risk of Porter is fine. Carter v Porter is a tough one. I think Carter is a solid player no matter what, but maybe never a superstar. Porter could be a superstar, he could be nothing.
