Quin Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Bulls should be able to target a wing and a big now. If they get Ayton/Bagley/Bamba/Jackson, I'd love Vanderbilt or Knox if he falls. If they get Porter/Doncic/Trae, give me Yurtseven or McCoy, unless a good BPA falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the second Niko trade was Paxson's doing because Forman couldn't get it done the first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko balked at the deal (he has a no trade) because it didn't guarantee him the 2nd year and he would have lost his Bird rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 2nds in the NBA arent that valuable. If the Bulls want they can easily pick one up from another team for garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its too bad the Clippers sold, because it seems like Pelicans are a lock for the playoffs so no lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Bulls should try and make Utah better. Looking at the west, there isn't a team that is gonna push new orleans down. Clips are out of it. Lakers, memphis, phoenix? hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bulls want they can easily pick one up from another team for garbage. Once in a while they work out, especially if it is some guy stashed in Europe for a few years, like Niko. But generally, I agree, blah. And if there is someone they really like, they are easy to acquire on draft night. The problem with this trade is it helps NO get better not just with Niko but Monroe too. Looking at the West, it looks like they are just about a lock at a low playoff seed, even without Boogie. It's probably 50/50 at best the draft pick turns out to be a better player than Niko, but it helps the tank which really is probably the biggest asset the Bulls acquire.

Think part of the reason NO made the trade is that it seems really inconceivable that they miss the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 1, 2018 -> 11:42 AM) They could get Robin Lopez for next to nothing. Bulls will not deal Lopez unless they get an asset for him. He's too strong of a presence and quality veteran to have the young players for the rebuild. If they get something worthwhile...sure...otherwise it isn't happening. I heard Woj on about a week ago and he had mentioned something to that effect.

thxfrthmmrs Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not to wish injury on players, but Davis and Holiday has had trouble staying healthy in the past. If they miss time the prospects of this pick suddenly looks a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
