There are a handful of redrafts out there, but that draft class looks bad all around right now. Guys in that redraft who went after we picked: Malcolm Brogdon, Boston Celtics Actual selection: No. 36 overall (Bucks) Ivica Zubac, Phoenix Suns Actual selection: No. 32 overall (Lakers) Skal Labissiere, Sacramento Kings Actual selection: No. 28 overall (Kings, via Suns) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Could've had Brogdon. I hate GarPax I know it would've been an over pick but I just hate Valentine. Edited November 2, 2017 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love Cousins, but won't happen. But man...this lineup PG: Dunn / SG: LaVine / Nwaba SF: Porter / Holiday PF: Lauri / C : Cousins / Felicio Would just be fun.

The Bulls are in a good spot going forward. There aren't many teams with the financial flexibility that they will have. But yes, I'm aware that GarPax are still making the decisions.

bmags Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I don't really carea bout financial flexibility anymore. As soon as you decide to add you are going to be paying players the max. And so you have to hope to be getting the players actually worth a max deal. And so that's the same predicament we've been in for 10?20? years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The bulls may end up being watchable enough. Markkanen/Nwaba/Dunn/Lopez all do either exciting (first 2) or highly competent stuff (latter 2). But the long stretches of Holliday/Grant just taking early jump shots are brutal. Maybe Levine cuts down ont hat because he may be the only bulls player capable of going to rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Aldridge: League sources indicate the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks are the most likely destinations for Okafor. But the Sixers are still holding out for at least a Draft pick, and could still opt to keep Okafor either as insurance against further injury to Embiid, or as a potential expiring contract to aggregate as the trade deadline nears. .... So, where can Philly send him? The Sixers are reluctant to just cut Okafor loose, knowing it will take Celtics boss Danny Ainge about 30 seconds to scarf him up and put him into the injured player exception Boston has for Gordon Hayward. (The two teams haven’t been able to come together on a trade.) Okafor’s knee is sound and he’s in the best shape of his young career. Some have trotted out the usual suspects: Phoenix and New York and other rebuilding teams. But those teams have their own problems and their own young frontcourt players (Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender for the Suns; Porzingis and Enes Kanter with the Knicks) who’ll need all the minutes they can get to further develop. That is also, it says here, selling Okafor short -- that all he can be is a stats hunter on a bad team. But the Sixers also don’t want to add any salary to get Okafor off the books. They have every intention of extending forward Robert Covington as soon as they are able -- Nov. 15 -- and aren’t going past that in new expenditures this season. But teams are asking Philly to take back more salary in exchange for Okafor’s now expiring $4.9 million contract. And, if it doesn’t work with Chicago or Atlanta, there aren’t a lot of obvious other places the Sixers could send him. A lot of solid and/or promising teams like Charlotte, New Orleans (which had interest in the past in Okafor) and Detrtoit are over the cap and perilously close to the tax threshold, and no one is going to go over it to take a chance that Okafor might be better than he showed in Philly. And good teams already paying the tax this season are obviously not in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Impressive, should be a boost to their awful bench play.

And he's shown nice burst...poor finishing around the rim, but I can see potential. He just isn't a good enough passer though and that is a problem, given his size. Our PG's suck.
