His rebounding is still good and while god knows I haven't watched any Kings basketball, Gentry was praising him for defensive effort this season. His advanced defensive numbers are about as good as you can get on a team like the Kings. Holmes is definitely a better target for this season, but he's on a 4 year deal at age 28 while Bagley expires and if he works out, would probably be dirt cheap to both acquire and re-sign. I'm not saying you do it, but just curious on thoughts. Expand Bagley has been pretty good defensively. I just looked at the Kings' RAPTOR numbers and apparently Barnes has played absolutely no defense this year. His on/off numbers are terrible.

Chisoxfn Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hopefully Vuc is okay - took a shot to the face on that dunk by Oubre. That said - hopefully they can hold onto this big lead and get some rest. Any road win is a good road win and Charlotte isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If the Bulls can't land a big, do you give Millsap a shot? I keep hearing about the buyout market, but when does that start happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect to see more guys get bought after today’s trade deadline and through the Allstar break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Um......why hasn't LaVine signed yet???? I get a weird feeling that he's going to leave the more days that go by without an extension in place. Also, what are they going to do with Vucevic this summer? Re-sign or trade for another big? IIRC he only has one year left. Edited February 10, 2022 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a weird feeling that he's going to leave the more days that go by without an extension in place. Expand Cause due to the CBA, they had to agree to it in the offseason. He didn't qualify for the supermax and probably wanted a shot at making All-NBA to get it. It also would have prevented them from building the current team. I think LaVine is a lot happier with DeMar around than not. The Bulls can still offer him a lot more than any team and they're a contender and he's happy here. Everything isn't doom and gloom all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This front office is actually effective and putting together a roster that is good enough to make some noise in the playoffs, and LaVine isn’t going anywhere unless they think it makes them still better somehow.

IIRC he only has one year left. Expand Like Quin alluded to, the team can build more around Zach if they wait till the off-season. If they sign him now they can't do much of anything in free agency. If they wait, they can sign guys and then go over the cap to resign him.....I don't worry about Zach at all. Bulls will have 13mil in cap space. If they wait to sign Zach, they can use that space and then sign Zach. If they sign him now they will have zero cap space. Vuc is a wait and see guy.

That 4 team trade takes out a couple options in Ibaka, Bagley, and probably Holmes now as well. Hopefully that Dragic for Thad trade is a double buyout and Thad gets in the picture for the Bulls.
