Quin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) You know that's what they're going to say. It's amazing how scared they are to make a deal, either going for it like in past years or blow it up like they should this year. It's crazy cause it felt like Paxson was never afraid to pull the trigger when he was GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 11:33 PM) Hit a few 3's late to get the Magic game to OT which they ended up winning. Interesting side note though, the Bulls have been after a wing all season, and the Magic are listening to offers for Tobias Harris now. Wonder if he'd fit what Chicago would be after there, I mean he can play the 4 spot in a smallball lineup as well. Probably a lot depends on whether they think his 4/64 contract is value for money and what it'd cost to get him (we're after veteran players who can make a difference now apparently.....) I am almost positive there were rumors last year that the Bulls were interested in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) Would the Bulls be able to acquire Griffin or Durant in a trade? I presume no, but probably worth discussing. Not worth discussing - the Bulls don't trade to make their team better, so don't waste your time.

Blog I just read suggests this is 7+ games for Jimmy. Bulls are 1.5 games ahead of the Hornets, in the middle of a losing skid, now without their best player. I sure as heck would be trading Gasol for the best deal I could get in this situation, probably also trying to clear either dunleavy or Gibson out so that they can make a full max contract offer to anyone and everyone next offseason. What's the harm? Butler + Rose + Durant sounds like an adequate setup to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the harm? Butler + Rose + Durant sounds like an adequate setup to me. They should be shopping Pau regardless. He's opting out, and they have no chance at a title. Dunleavy...good luck with that. Taj is due for an ankle injury any day now. The problem is how many teams have a legit shot to win, and how many of those teams not named San Antonio and Golden State,are perhaps a Dunleavy or Gibson away? I'd say about zero. Pau is a different story, plus it does you no good to hang onto him. Edited February 9, 2016 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
