Chisoxfn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 11:25 AM) Well the twitter reporters have backed off including taj. Maybe just McDermott for Roberson/Payne? Whatever. But they still seem desperate to trade Taj and Stein said as much. Which is smart...you should move Taj and you should move Niko (given you will lose them for nothing...presuming they don't fit in your long term plans). I really don't hate Doug for Roberson / Payne. Certainly doesn't help our shooting, but if they believe Payne has upside and Roberson can help defensively..okay. Including Taj for nothing...awful.

Chisoxfn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Some guy named Adam Joseph is indicating the deal is done, but final details on who exactly is coming to Chicago is being sorted out. Taj / Doug going to OKC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 01:21 PM) Geeze...if we trade Taj and don't get Sabonis back I'll be dissapointed. That said, I'd have preferred a 1st round pick for Taj (and would think we could have gotten an unprotected 1st from a contender). We do need to make moves so I'll at least give the Bulls credit for making moves (if that counts for anything) and getting multiple pieces back. So is it Doug and Taj for Payne / Robertson + someone else (presumably Sabonis). They should have traded Taj Gibson last year. That's the problem.

You're probably right, but the GM thought Pau was a huge part of their future. Reality doesn't exist in the Bulls office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 23, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) Clearly trying to field the worst possible shooting team for an "offensive" coach It is absolutely mind boggling that they continue to do the opposite of what they should be doing.

Chisoxfn Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Based upon a Vincent Goodwill tweet..OKC won't give up Sabonis and he thinks deal will be bigger then previously reported. I presume that means a 3rd team is involved...I'll just throw it out there...Okafor back to Bulls in a 3 team deal centered around Taj / Niko / Doug. By the way, I have to imagine if we are moving Taj and Doug...Niko has to be dealt at the deadline as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be more to this. Taj could have netted more 3 years ago. He's a UFA after this year. We're simply dumping a once valuable commodity in Taj and a guy we spent two first rounders on in McDermott. Watch out for GarPax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
