Chicago Bulls Fan Draft Lottery Reaction !



Chicago Bulls Fan Draft Lottery Reaction !

Heat. Hey, Heat. Breeze Nation, what is good? It’s your boy P the Designer back at it again. Jordan JC, Mr. Media himself in the building. Yes, we are live on the Windy City Breeze and the Chicago Bulls Breeze here for the Chicago Bulls draft lottery. Not just the Bulls, but hopefully the Bulls are the most important pick that all matters. Uh Bulls have an opportunity to a 8% chance to get a top four pick in this draft. They have a 1.7% chance to get the number one pick in this draft. Why is 1.7 important? You might ask J. What happened back then? One Derek Rose with 1.7%. Chicago Bulls came away with it. Regain 110%. Let’s hope the fix is in. Absolutely. Absolutely. Come on now. Hey, I’m not gonna lie to you. I fully expect when the number 12 pick gets here, the Bulls will name will be selected. Um but uh hopefully we’ll see what ends up happening throughout the night. Oh, they fixed Kendrick Perkins chair. Perk was sitting like basically standing up and he and his whole he was like, “Ah, y’all supposed to keep me low so the gut can’t be seen. You can’t fool us.” Uh, George, what’s going on, man? How you feeling? Uh, coming into this draft. Feeling good. Feeling great, man. I uh, look, 1.7% chance last time we had that. What was it? I want to say 200, what was it? 2007. Seven. Seven7, man. Derek Martell Rose. Uh, are we saying we get a repeat and get a Cooper flag bring? Because, you know, the NBA wants to see the main cities kind of get involved. I mean, the NBA, it’s good for business, first of all, when you got your New Yorks, when you got your Chicago, your Los Angeles’s as good teams. And apparently, we’re the only one that’s kind of not like on the outside looking in right now. So, I’m just saying, you know, maybe Chicago’s due. Listen, some teams get uh good, some teams get lucky. The Chicago Bulls need to get lucky yet again. Technically, every winning team the Chicago Bulls have ever had has come from L. The Michael Jordan Bulls. The Michael Jordan Bulls come from the fact that two teams basically were like, “We’re stupid.” Geez. Well, not really. It was big man. They wanted big man back then. The Blazers. The Blaz Oh, we don’t need We don’t need a shooting guy. We got Clyde the Glide. How’d that work out for you? Thank goodness. Thank have won a championship but a while ago. Uh, no, man. Listen, I I hope that the Bulls are able to come away with I I’ll say this. Top four pick and I feel great. Yeah. Top 10 pick and I feel good. 12 I mean, and the reason I say that is because this is the kind of draft where you can find talent later on in this draft. I think there’s talent all the way down. I said this morning on lockdown Bulls down to the 22nd pick, teams should be able to find some really nice pieces. The question is, will they be able to find some of these really nice pieces? But I mean, like I I just I look at where the Bulls are now. The fact that AK made a trade, remember the Zack Lavine trade got them back the rights to their own pick. The Bulls would have would not have a pick right now if not for that trade. The hope is that this becomes an opportunity for you to go out there and get a superstar caliber play. Yeah. Yeah, that is the hope. Um, and if that hope doesn’t become realized, unfortunately, I will say this, uh, CBS Sports has a mock draft. I know today is not the actual draft. We’re just trying to get the the the actual the the the positioning. But if we just Conor Bard, Caleb Williams, Cooper flag, that would be insane. Yeah. Oh, and also Kyle Tucker. Thank you very much. Hey, mention you don’t recite him. He better. I swear I slapped and they got a rumor out there that the Dodgers I slapped and bro I swear if the C goes to the Dodgers I swear to God show is going to going to going to just shell all his money and give it to him. Whatever. Anyway, uh no I think that if the so if the Bulls don’t obviously find a way to move up to the top four or by any chance get into one and they stick at 12, there is a name out there that I already am liking. I’ve liked this guy for a minute. I think he feels a big need if we’re going to move along from Boovich, which we need to. By the way, you know how I feel about BHA these days. Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Uh Derek Queen. Derek Queen from Maryland. Queen. Yeah, I love Derek Queen. And he’s been projected to go at 12. If we can get Derek Queen from Maryland, I’m going to be honest with you, I’m a okay with not getting Cooper or any other top four. He’s he reminds me of the ideal big man in this in this modern NBA that who can really has really good passing instincts. Um is is is quick on his feet. Only thing he has to work on a little bit is his shooting from outside. Um and I think he can improve on that. But you know, give me a Derek Queen. That’s all. Yeah, listen. I I wouldn’t I wouldn’t mind a Derrick Queen. I think that uh the big thing for me with him is I don’t think that he’ll be there down at 12. I think he’s more of a top rack in this NBA. I think he’s more of a top eight pick in this NBA draft. But I mean, listen, I think there’s there’s a lot of names that you could get if you’re the Chicago Bulls, especially I I’ve said one guy that I like is is a Thomas Sorber. I think that he brings a ton of talent on the floor, especially at that big man position. I I love uh um Oh, boy. Why am I Why am I tweaking on the Michigan guy? I’ve only been hype on him uh the entire time. Um, big man. Yeah, he a big man. I’m I’m tweaking on his name right now. Uh, Danny Wolf. Danny Wolf. That’s my guy. Danny Wolf out of Michigan. Uh, somebody who I think, listen, I think that Danny Wolf is going to be has I shouldn’t say is going to be. Has the potential to be the modest bisellas of this draft where a lot of people are like, “Yeah, you know, we kind of like him. We like some things that he does, but we like these guys better.” He ends up falling a little further in the draft and he’s got handles. He’s got a jump shot. He’s he can get to the rim. He can drive. He’s got some really solid defensive abilities. There’s some the to me the defense is the thing that needs to be grown on uh uh most uh but blocking shots at the rim, he brings that. Like to me, I’m excited about how deep this draft is, especially for the Chicago Bulls chances. The worst case scenario would be you end up falling to 14 and you lose two draft spots here. But we’ll see what ends up happening in the long run. I I I think right now where the Bulls are at, you need a superstar. And no matter what, I’m You could have the number one pick. The number one pick makes it easier, right? Like you’re going Cooper flag if you got the number one pick. Yeah. No matter what, if you have the you could have the number one pick, you could have the number five pick, number 10 pick, number 15 pick. You need to Your scouting department needs to get it right. Like you’re not winning NBA playoff games without a superstar player. Look at what Denver is doing. Denver does not have the team that feels like it should be competitive in this uh uh in this playoffs right now. And yet it is a two- two series after yesterday. And yesterday was an incredibly close game with them shooting horribly just because at certain points Joic goes, “All right, let me go be Jokic real quick.” That’s that’s the world you have to live in to win in this NBA. Yeah. No, you do. I uh I I I love that that that model. Uh, and I think that’s essentially what AK was always trying to go for when he when he got here and, you know, is trying to rebuild this team in that in that form in a sense, which is why I like a Derek Queen cuz I mean he he I’m not saying he’s he’s he’s not going crazy, but I’m just saying like he has those those intangibles as well in his game. Um, I do like a Danny Wolf. I do like that. I saw somebody else in the chat. I just I I don’t think I I kind of they chat’s kind of going uh fast here, but uh somebody had mentioned that um would we get rewarded for not tanking like the other teams usually do to get into the top four because clearly we were trying to push for the playoffs. Does the NBA give us a kind of an under the table, hey, we’re going to reward you guys because you all did it the right way and Chicago needs a guy. Well, listen, I’m not saying that the draft lottery is rigged. I don’t believe that it’s rigged. I think that it’s all fair play as long as the Chicago Bulls win it. If they lose it, if the Bulls get the second pick in the draft, it’s rigged. But if they get the number one overall pick, no rig. No, no, no. They have one point chance. Not a chance. Okay. As we’ve got everybody walking out now, Masellis going to be uh going to be representing the Chicago Bulls here. Previous number 11 overall pick. Hopefully his luck does not uh bring us the number 11 overall pick yet again. Uh one thing that I thought was hilarious and listen the so if for those of you who don’t know how the draft lottery goes, they’re not pulling the ping pong balls right now. This was done I believe an hour or two hours ago, three hours ago, something like that. So the Chicago Bulls uh tweeted out earlier um that apparently I spelled Chicago wrong. Don’t tell nobody. Uh the Chicago Bulls tweeted out earlier that uh you know, can we get lucky tonight? And there was a very interesting comment from the Duke Blue Devils underneath it. I’m trying to find uh find the poster. They did comment on it. Uh I don’t know if it not there. Hold on. Is it this one? I think it’s this one here. Uh yeah, here we go. Here we go. Let’s see. Can I get my uh my reaction? There we go. Duke Blue Devils with a nice little comment there. I just thought you guys should draft a blue devil. You know what I mean? So maybe they know something. Maybe there’s some uh some information, insider information already out there. Maybe they know uh what the what the uh results are already. So uh hopefully the Bulls come here’s the big thing. Come away with a with a um a situation where you feel like Giddy and Kobe and Modest make a difference. And I I said this on Locked on Bulls this morning and I’ll continue to say it. I like this team. If you go out and you add a superstar, I love this team. Yeah. If Modis becomes that guy, if if you know, like whatever it is, if Giddy becomes that guy, he’s only 22 years old. Whatever it is, if you add a superstar to this team, I love this team with a nice player on the team, right? I like this team. I like where the team is at right now. I like the direction that the team is in. Yeah. Here’s Don Burr. Mr. He’s here for everything. He doesn’t care. Mr. Home playoff win. Finally a B has been miss P kid in the building. Why you go through jacks? Right. Yeah. Been lifted. Hey man, just a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. There was no muscle when you did that. Just a little bit. My goodness. Hey, no, I wasn’t. It was just I just put my arms up. Hey, bro. What What microphone are you using? You sound like you coming through a 1997 Nokia cell phone, bro. I probably am coming through a 1997 Nokia cell phone at this point. That boy sound like, “Baby girl, let me see you do your dance. Let me see you tomorrow.” Hey man, I told you we down bad over here, dog. Down bad over here. Your mic don’t work. It worked, but then without the camera set up, it just seems bad because then it’s like everything is blurry. Hey, bro, just use the computer mic, bro. I guarantee you the computer got a better built mic than this, bro. It probably do. Hold on one second, bro. You sound like you about to try and sell me uh uh the rope pills. Hey man, I got these uh we can get you a six month subscription of those ro pills. Petty Darth Vader Bucky. Petty. Oh, there you go. There you go. There you go. Sounds better. That sounds way better. Yeah, you don’t use that mic. You can call people from the laptop. Yeah, that’s your sales numbers are down, bro. Blame the mic. My goodness. Oh man. As we’re getting ready to get this thing started, we are about, I believe, five minutes away. This is the funniest event ever. You know what I mean? This is the funny because it’s just like, “Welcome to the NBA draft lottery. We’re going to stretch this out for 30 minutes.” Mhm. It’s like we didn’t need a commercial right now, bro. Chance that the Bulls actually lay the Cooper flag. That’s D, man. Oh, that was fixed. We knew that was fixed. Why can’t it be this year? Hey. Hey, I ain’t going to lie to you. Cooper flag a Chicago. No, I told you if it’s the second round, it’s the second overall pick, it’s fixed. If it’s the first overall pick, not fixed. Hey, you want to know what’s funny? Go back and watch um the when Derrick Rose got announced. It’s hilarious to see how far of a spectacle the draft lottery has come. Like when Dererick Rose got announced with a 1.7% chance, it literally was like Doris Burke with a microphone in her hand just walking up just like, “Hey, how’s it going? Good to see uh what who’s the next pick?” Like it was us. It was us three sitting there doing the draft lottery basically with this set up. Now it’s like this massive spectacle before a playoff game. I like that Messiah shows up to every one of these. You want to play? Uh, I’m good. I like doing this. There’s a big Oh, I see what you’re talking about with these Duke players. There’s a number of Duke players that are actually projected. You got you got I don’t even know how to say his name. Maluak Malok. Zion actually showed up to the draft. He did. Hey. Hey. Looking in shape. Looking in shape. Looking in shape. A little bit of shape. Hey, round is a shape. Zion Williams and Porn Star. He said round is a shape. Hey, he a freaky frog, bro. Freaky frog. Anybody that has a thing from everything freaky. Brian Mills is ugly on all. Now, I’m not I’m not I’ll say this, right? He know in a different way in the biblical sense. She probably know some things. She probably knows some. Where did this mug go? What? Look at this Miami Heat Miami Joel again. He here for Miami. He not even here. This emergency broadcast the glistening from behind you. Look at the glow. Look at the glow. Was with Jerry Bush, right? Yeah. All you need is a big stogy in your mouth and you’re good. Good lord. This guy was there when the Lakers were bought. That’s what happened. All right, we’re getting it underway. The 14th pick. He was with Bust. The San Antonio Spur. Oh, they got two lottery picks. I forgot about that. Spurs 14th pick. They got two lottery picks. That’s nuts. They can get the number one and the 14th overall pick. 13. The Atlanta Hawks. Oh, you’re ahead. Oh, shoot. Yeah, he is ahead slightly. It’s a little bum. San Antonio. The 12th overall pick. Oh, you’re a head. Oh, god dang it. Well, that was fast. It’s over. Oh, you’re ter You’re horrible. What we Yeah, there we go. Whatever. Chicago pick overall. That was great. All right, guys. I’ll see you guys later. Hey, say Chicago. Appreciate you guys. God dang. Oh, this is terrible. Ah, well, so much for that kid. Well, listen. 12th overall pick. You got Musellis with the 11th overall pick. Like I said uh um before this a deep draft. This is a deep draft and and it really does come down to getting your assessment right. The one thing I can say over the last couple of of or or I should say the last season uh was that last couple of drafts that Utah man really really just this draft uh the the Chicago Bulls got this year right. You got Josh Giddy. You got Modis Bzelis at it. Kobe White now able to move a little bit better with without Zack Lavine on the team. Find a piece that’s going to become a superstar and and they are there. And we we sit here and talk about this every year. Oh, you got to be top five. No, you don’t. You just got to pick the right talent. You got to pick the right guy. Klay Thompson was what, 11? Hey, there’s 17. Clay was 17, wasn’t he? and Clay was 17. Although Clay Clay and Clay without New Orleans got the seventh overall. Hey, I I tell you this though, there’s a Oh, Philly fa pick. Philly’s in the top four. Utah’s getting that mess. Philly’s in the top four. Of of course Philly gets a top four pick. Oh, bro. Bro, what if Dallas gets Cooper flag right after getting rid of Luca? The Hornets. That makes sense. Oh, here we go. You know, I’m a Dallas fan. Dallas, you know, I’m a Dallas. That makes sense, Pat. Like the world’s coming back together with Okay, Utah’s fifth. Thank you. Hey, a healthy Kyrie with a healthy AD and Cooper flag. I’m for it. Let’s go. I would love Dallas to get Cooper flag. I’ll say this though. I I think I think this is the interesting like there there’s a young man in the playoffs right now who was drafted after you took Patrick Williams fourth overall who was voted the most overrated player and literally has uh broken every bit of those rumors throughout this playoffs. Has literally been the guy who’s getting the game winner. Hey, you got to let him hang. You got to let him hang. You know what I mean? KJ said, “I don’t believe in the Pope anymore.” What do we get a pope for? We just stand. Hey, hopefully it works out for the White Socks. That’s all I’m saying. Hey Tana, you ain’t lying. It’s not fixed because of all the teams on this board to let the to let Cooper flag not go to the Chicago Bulls, it is not fixed, bro. Yeah. No, it’s fixed. Tyrese Tyrese reason for the Lakers to have traded Luca for as little as they I mean the Dallas have traded Luca for as little as they did. No. Yeah. I think Dallas might get Yeah. Hey, they be like, “Hey, listen. The LA needs a star. LeBron’s about to retire. Give him Luca. We’ll help. We’ll help you down. We’ll give you something, you know. Hey, and hey, hey, listen. Listen. If it is down, I’ll tell you this right now. It’s tough to say. He might be right. Luca went out in the playoffs with a lower back injury. What usually causes lower back injuries? Being too big. Now, I didn’t think Luca looked that big. He was just doing too much. But I continue to say this. Luca is 40 pounds more than he was when he was drafted. Yeah, that’s a lot. Luca came into the league 212. Luca is 260. Oh, Joel, he’s leaving. Oh, yeah. The moment I saw on every rotation, every switch, they were looking for Luca and they were capitalizing M and actually penetrating off of that matchup, I was like, “Yep, Nico wasn’t wrong.” Now, Nico was crazy to sit there and say, “I didn’t know Luca meant this much to the fan base.” That was dumb. I think he should have got more for the trade. But why he made the trade? Absolutely. I Am I wrong? From day one, I was like, “That’s not a bad trade.” No, you said it wasn’t a bad trade. I listen, I still think you don’t get rid of a player. I think you Pat Riley a player. Yeah. I’mma put you on this regimen. Pat Riley don’t Pat Riley don’t work no more. Hey, no. I I think but Pat but that uh that uh body fat percentage you dig is still in place. That body fat percentage you got to you for real look at Kyle Lowry. Kyle Larry was fat his whole career. He was he turned into BBL Larry the second he got into into Miami Larry. BBL. Hey you actually do look like you would sing there too. BBL me. You look like you produced it. you produced it. Uh before we here, man, appreciate you guys for tuning in to showing love. Uh let’s let’s take a look at uh what some where some of my drafts have uh have that 12th pick going. Derek Queen is there like like um like Jordan said earlier, Derrick, who I would be excited about. 19 points uh uh almost 20 points per game, 10.6 rebounds. He was 1.3 blocks, 1.3 steals. He did everything. He would be somebody I would be uber excited about the Chicago Bulls getting with the 12th overall pick. Jace Richardson is also around that ranch. He’s a guard. I don’t want to see another guard on this team. We need a big man. Yeah. Uh uh I can’t say his last name. I ain’t going to stunt with you. Malupic. Um he they got him going nine, but I’ve seen him everywhere from eight to 15. The one thing that would piss me off if we got KJ from Illinois. If we got K. What about Liam? Kasparis Jacund. Uh small forward. You got you I I wouldn’t go I wouldn’t go that direction because I don’t feel like his scoring translates to the NBA level. Um I think he’ll be a solid role player. Uh and you and you’re too high up for Danny Wolf. Danny Wolf is the other guy who I’d be very intrigued with the Chicago Bulls getting. Now if you feel and here’s the thing. If you feel a guy is the answer, he’s your answer. It doesn’t matter if you reach on him or not, he’s your answer. Does that mean that he’s the right answer? No. He He reached on Patrick Williams. Like I I’ve often thought about this. If Patrick Williams doesn’t get drafted by the Bulls fourth overall, where does he go? Who cares? Oh, sorry. You said what? Second round. Who cares? Second round. No, not you. No, no, let’s be honest. Come on. He would have been in the first round. Hallebertton got drafted 19. Yeah, Hallebertton was second half. That’s what I mean. I think he’s at the end of the second round and Hallebertton thought the Bulls was getting him. Hallebertton thought the Bulls were coming to get him. He says that all the time. He’s like, I thought I was going to the Bulls. They needed a point guard. I was a point guard. God. And we took a guy off the bench. It did not work out. He’s going to be the claw. He’s going to be like the claw. I mean, you you also you you about Scotty Barnes. Scotty Barnes also came off the bench. Hold on. Let me uh the Hornets fourth. Joe just love, bro. Love the faces where you not top three. There we go. Sorry. Let’s see. Oh, DJ Rick. What up, Rick? Philly getting the third overall pick. Here it come. Oh my god. Dallas got the number one overall pick. God dang it, Pat. See, there it is. There it is. There we go. There it is. Get better, Joe. It’s the I got the best. It’s It’s Comcast. I’ll be honest with you. This is why the NBA is not as exciting as it used to be. Why not as exciting as it used to be? This was pretty exciting. Obvious for Nico. Crazy. Did anybody just see him kiss that man on the forehead or was I didn’t see anything. I’m just watching you all’s reaction. I’m not watching anything. This That’s crazy. That’s crazy. Cooper flag. AD and Anthony D. Clay Clay Thompson and Klay Thompson. Hey, if he didn’t It was just a hug. It was just a hug. I thought it was a little closer. I thought I missed something. They had a 1.8. Forot about Klay Thompson. We only Dang it, man. That was supposed to be But you knew that the the the lead that was a lead trade. You knew they were going to give him the the the the that that in the back end. Like, come on, man. I I didn’t know nothing. We didn’t know, but they knew. A one point a 1.8% 8% chance to get the number one overall pick and they came away with it. We had a 1.7% chance and this is what I this is why I say this. Last two years Atlanta 10th pick got the number one overall pick this year uh uh what was Dallas the 11th pick or the 11th he did lose the tiebreaker to the Mavs too. Yeah. Or the 11th pick. I would say this that uh if you think about it turns a global business with Dallas like losing Luca, losing fans, all this stuff. This probably took all the pressure off Nico and the fans now can shift all that hate to the Cooper flag. So it has got to draft Cooper flag. Yeah, they draft the Cooper flag. But I I just think they better draft Cooper flag. But this helps the Mavericks because the Mavericks would lose for everybody who has uh is having a fit about how the Bulls played out the season. The Dallas Mavericks were the 10th seed. The Dallas Mavericks were the 10th seed backto back years. Now, the 10th seed has gotten the number one overall pick. So, it is beneficial. It is truly a lottery if you want to say that for the competition. And the Chicago Bulls this year uh were the what were the Bulls? The Bulls were the ninth overall pick, but they lost to the Miami Heat immediately, making them essentially the 10th overall pick or the 10th uh the 10th seed, I should say. So, NBA rewards, it didn’t work out for us this year, but I I do think that this speaks more to the fact that competition is competition is worth it. Now for people losing their minds, you realize you’re adding players to a team that you were excited about at the end of the season. Oh, I still think M is going to be not happy. We we want we want to listen if they get I would have loved to have the number. Let us let us let us let us like re, you know, regroup right now. Everybody’s, you know, a little upset. No, because mad and then tomorrow it’s a new day. We got the I I because I think it’s stupid to to be mad about something where you’re adding a player to a team that you felt like was going the right direction. Yeah, but people wanted Cooper flag. It’s okay. That’s great. We wanted to fast track it. It’s not like I have every right to be disappointed that we didn’t have a chance to get our number one that we didn’t get the number one pick. Yeah. But see, Joe, you’re different though because you don’t watch But Joe, you don’t watch college basketball. So, you’re not familiar as much with the Derek Queens. you’re not familiar as much with the the the Danny Wolves the I do I watch all of that right so anyways like I was saying you watch you watched a lot of Ace Newell this year Joe did you you watched a lot of Ace Newell this year I was waiting for Hold on I got I got it let it breathe let it breathe Joe who does Ace New play for I can see you now don’t you leave I can see you No, no, wait, wait, wait. Who does Kaspar Jaconis play for? Yeah, I can’t even spell this. Easy. This a come back here. You come back, you son of that was a layup. But no, that’s from the town. It’s not about that. No, I get it. Trust me. No, I I I’m not I We were smart, you know, fans. I’ll be honest with you. I’m happy we didn’t get Coop. I’m I’m But team would have been a little too white. No, my bad. I’m joking. I thought that’s where you were going. It’s a very Caucasian team. That’s pretty. Oh boy. Not where I was going, Pat. That would have been No, we got to speed up. The business of basketball, huh? The business Cooper flag Cooper. No, you got think you got to think about the business of basketball when it took over. I think Montes has the ability and the potential to actually be a star in this league, Cooper kind of actually derails that because when you get the number one overall pick, the difference between him versus Montes, Cooper is getting them shots. ESPN is putting us on TV so Cooper can shoot, so Cooper can cook. You’re you’re disrupting a lot of development by sitting there chasing that one developing star as opposed to getting a I I would say a veteran in this case to actually, you know, act accentuate what we already trying to build. I just think it’s better for us to do that. Find some other groups that fit roles and do that. That’s not necessarily true. That’s not necessarily true. TM and it’s not true all the time. I get you, but like most of the time it is though. No, I’m talking about TM. It doesn’t pay his comment. It pays. It doesn’t pay the tank because the number the number one overall pick didn’t tank. Well, if you look at most of all most of the winners that have won it, it is a combination of veterans with some talent. And a lot of times they’ll bring in a number one pick or a top pick to add to that team. But you’re trying to find the right core. I mean, no, it’s very rare to do what Golden State has done where they drafted, you know, their core team and then they add it. But when you get a Eagala, when you get a Shawn Livingston, when you get those nice blue guys to add, well, I mean, look at the old Lakers teams. Look, look at like Magic squads. But look at the Pistons teams. I mean, one draft pick with Isaiah, but you had like a Lambbeer. You got a Dumar, but then you got a lot of those Mahorns. That was a trade. A lot of those guys were were trades. The Bulls would draft Jordan. You did draft Scotty and Horus, but you drafted that whole team. No, Cartwright came over from New York. John Paxton was a hold over. I think he came from the the Spurs, you know. Did you you Craig Hodgees was a free agent, you know, like you you started to add and build, you know, you do need to get your core together. So, if this young core is there and we may have to get another guy like, you know, and oh, to add even to the Pistons, remember they traded for Mark here. Yeah, they did. They traded. Just to bring it to a just to bring it to a modern context, you know, we got the Celtics and the uh Knicks about to kick off. This the Knicks really don’t have a bonafide superstar. Brent Brunson is kind of fringe on most people list, you know. So, when you look at what they’ve built there and the synergy and everything they got, they got a bunch of really good. Now, look at those. I would say he’s a one. I would say he’s a one. You know, you know, my definition of superstar is different than than most people’s, right? So, I’m not going to call him a superstar, but how far down the point guard list you got Jaylen Brunson? He’s top five for me. Top five. Top five. I mean, I I Is he Is he outside the top three? Yes. At this point, who’s your top three point guards in the NBA right now? Steph, Tyrese Hallebertton. That’s a shooting guard. Is he SGA? I mean, uh SGA is No, I’m saying I’m saying top three. Yeah, Tyresese top three SGA. Fellas, I got to drop off. I have to go celebrate my daughter as she’s in the National Honor Society. So, I have to go. Congratulations to that. Hey, I was invited to be in the National Honor Society. One time they told me, “Write a letter.” And then they were like, “Don’t call us. We’ll call you.” They didn’t call. They did not call. Yeah. So, I got All right. Have fun with that. All right, Brody. Appreciate you guys. See you Breeze Nation. Take care. Um, first off, first off, hey JC, what was your top five point guard or top three point guards? You said I said SGA, Hallebertton, and uh Steph. SGA, Hallebertton, and Steph. I’m not mad at that. Who am I? Who am I? Maybe I’m not thinking of somebody, but who am I? Who Who am I? Like, well, I thought the reason the reason I had a question cuz I thought you didn’t say Steph. Oh, no. No. I’m definitely saying I thought you didn’t say Steph. I was like, hold on now, brother. I need you to breathe real quick. I said Brunson’s top five. I mean, I I’m still looking at I kill Jaylen after that. I’m because the one thing Tyrese does better than than Brunson is one, he’s a better defender. Uh two, he has better court vision in my opinion. Um, you got Tyrese Maxi over Brunson. Tyrese Hallebertton. Oh, Hallebertton. Hallebertton. Hallebert. I’m talking. Yeah. Oh, no. I mean, Maxi, listen, I wouldn’t put Maxi over Hallebertton. But I think he has a potential. Uh, but like let’s just the length he has, his ability to impact the game and stuff like that. He just does it differently. And the Pacers aren’t the Pacers without him and what they do, what they’re bringing to the floor. When he’s off to me, Brunson is like, “Hey, everybody clear out. he gonna go get a bucket with this man one-on-one, but I don’t think he sets up his team as well as others. They just have good chemistry because they all played together for so long. That’s what I that’s how I feel. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how I feel. I I I agree with that. I agree with that to an extent. I think Jaylen isn’t necessarily the guy that gets everybody like in the perfect position, but I mean, because you’ve had Anonobi there for a minute. You got McKelbury, you got a lot of really good talented players that are just really good together. And then, of course, Cat. Um that team just kind of kind of comes really good. Yeah. Yes, he is. I can’t even deny it. You know what it is? That is playing tough. Tad is playing tough. That ain’t backing out. That ain’t getting giving you that. Oh my god. What he always doing around the he he like, “Oh, let me let me hit you with this bow to the back of the head real quick.” Somebody got in his ear and was like, “I need you to toughen up. Quit crying like a little You know what? New York. You can’t come to New York with all that crime, boy. You better. He been doing it, but but in the playoffs, he uped this game. Um, but no, man. Listen, the Bulls end up with the 12th overall pick. If you Oh, I’m sorry. Kyrie, you’re right. Rogue Kyrie is up in there, too. See, I Kyrie I I want to put Kyrie in that top 10. The problem with Kyrie is the same thing. Kyrie has been injuryprone. You know what I mean? These last these la outside of last year, Kyrie has been banged up. Kyrie whole career has been injuryprone. every time like you gota think about it the the finals that Kyrie won which he is the a huge reason why they win that finals like if you say LeBron is 51% Kyrie is 49 right like he’s a massive reason why they win that finals um Kyrie was out that whole playoffs Kyrie got healthy at the right time the year before Kyrie was healthy the whole playoffs got hurt for the finals the Cavs get destroyed Like for the record, Kyrie has never played 82 games in his career. Has he played How many times he played 60? Uh he played 58 last season. He played 60 the season before. I know the season before was one of his more healthy ones. He made that’s that’s you got to include playoffs in that too. He played the whole playoffs. Yeah, he’s been on average around 60 games on 60 games. Like me me and Hayes saying don’t 65 games is a full season in the NBA now. That’s crazy. It’s just Listen, it’s it’s the politics standard is lower. Standard has been lowered. It’s the politics of basketball. Before we get up out of here, boys, uh let me ask y’all, unless y’all want to do a live for the game. Uh let me ask y’all this. Um now knowing you have the 12th overall pick, I stand on the fact that you have to have a superstar to win. Giannis Antakmpo has become the hot name this off seasonason per Sham Shirani’s report. Uh because he’s now open to being moved. Would you move what it costs to go get a guy like Giannis who is 30 years old right now? There’s a ton of time left, but Giannis has said he don’t want to be one of them dudes playing till he’s 37. I’m not going for him. He doesn’t fit. He doesn’t fit the team. We don’t have a team for him. Oh, the team becomes him. Oh, you got the team for him. You got Kevin Herder on this team. You’ve got Kobe White. You’ve You’ve got uh uh Josh Giddy who fits perfectly. Now you moving. I’ll tell you this. Modest Balis, you are a buck. That’s what it be. Hey, that’s the only thing that scares me. You are a buck. No, I don’t want to do that. I know that sounds crazy, but I don’t want to do that. I see him going to like a to like Brooklyn, but you got to think he grew up there. There there’s only a few players left that have grown up with the tie that we have that most of us have in the NBA. Giannis is one of the few players left that grew up watching Michael Jordan and grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and grew up saying that that’s so cool to see that level of player. and he’s talked about that multiple times. I see him being intrigued about coming to Chicago. What I don’t see him what I don’t see working out possibly is what you got to give up because the Bulls never want to give up what it takes to go get a superstar level player. If there is a way that they can keep modest and you give up whatever else you got to give up, I’m fine with that. I would rather have Giddy than modest. I honestly think he’s end up in like the Cavs or something like that. It’s no way he It’s no way he going to Cleveland. You You got to think he also dictating some something some here. There’s no way that boy going to Cleveland. They give up Darius Garland. They give up uh Oh, Detroit could work. Detroit would definitely not going to. You got to understand, you got to have a team that has a pieces that can actually make the move. He’s going to make 175 million over the next two. Um, so he’s do a lot of money. So you need people or a team that’s already heavily invested or leveraged in their players for it to even work from that aspect. Bulls are not. We’d be giving up way too many pieces. You giving up a lot. You g up a lot. You want to know what I equate it to though? If you feel like you have a certain level of pieces, Josh Giddy showed you a lot at 22 years old last season. Kobe White showed you that he can be that offball guy while still being an elite scorer. Remember how wild it was when Kevin Garnett got traded? Remember how W and you got to go back. Remember the our brains exploded when Kevin Garnett got traded? It was like this how’s this going to Well, yeah, because it was like how’s this going to work? Now, we didn’t know. We also didn’t know Ray Allen was going to that team as well, but but it was how is this going to work? How is him and Paul Pierce going to coexist? Who’s going to be the number one? Kevin Garnett have never been a two. Kevin Garnett was that dude and he spent his whole career. Now Giannis has had immensely more success than Kevin Garnett ever did. But when you talk about those big name uh uh players being traded, that’s where my mind instantly went where it was like Giannis is finally ready to move on. I was like that’s like KG leaving Minnesota because Giannis is Milwaukee. like that. Like the Milwaukee B when you say Milwaukee Bucks, you think about you don’t even think about another player. Yeah. I can’t I mean Brandon Jennings at a certain point. Yeah. I just I can only see him going to a team like I can see him going to to Milwaukee. I mean not Milwaukee but Miami. I can see them making that work because Miami has the culture that he would probably like the cap space and I think they got pigs. I don’t don’t quote me on that one. I can see the cast because they definitely have the pieces to trade for him and make the money work without gutting the entire team because I mean honestly would you rather have Giannis or Jared Allen? I’d rather have Giannis. Would you have rather have Giannis or or or Evan Mobley? You kind of get a two for one because he makes up the production of both of them in so many ways. Like so Miami has a 2025 pick via Golden State. They have a 2026 pick that’s theirs. They have a 2028 first round pick that is theirs. Um, and then they got second rounds in between that in 2026 and 2027 as well. Um, I I think I’ll say this. I think they he needs a superstar. I I’ll say this. I think we believe Miami fits Giannis because we’ve seen Giannis party in Miami. What else about Miami fits Jiannis? Cuz you’re not keeping Tyler Herro. You’re not keeping Hero. You’re not keeping Haimey Hawkins. You’re not keeping Nicola Yovi. You’re probably also not G. One, nobody makes that much money on a team. You’re also not keeping your young rookie and Khalil wear. I don’t think you get rid of all them people. I think Bam is out of there. How you going to make money work? You Bam is out of there. I got to that. That’s redundant. Bam and Jiannis occupy the same space. I I would agree with you, but not but Bam and Khalil wear do too. Now, if I’m trading if I’m trading Bam, I’m trading Khalil. Now, but here’s the thing, though. To make the money, hey, if I’m trading Bam, if I’m trading Khalil Wear, if I’m trading uh I I still I believe you still probably got to include Hero in that deal. So, now you going to work with Giannis. And now, I will say this, Pat Riley’s a very different GM. Pat Riley gets he gonna build a team around Giannis. He gonna build a team around Giannis. He gonna build a team around Giannis. It’s a very different situation. Let me throw a monkey wrench in this because and this goes back to the game that’s about to play. The Boston Celtics we as we know it, this is their last run. Win or lose, they can’t keep all these players. They are so far over the luxury. They’re so old, right? Bro, they can’t keep the next year’s payroll is more than they bring in. No, they can’t they can’t keep they can’t keep Christophs. Kristoffs is gone. Horford is done. But you’ve already got you’ve got Drew signed already. You’ve got now the only This is your team. This is your team. Drew is signed. Tatum is signed. Brown is signed. White is signed. Bro, they can only keep like three of those guys. You just gonna get you going to get hit with the penalties. And Boston do not mind being hit with the penalties. New ownership. That’s what Chicago ownership. It’s new ownership. They sold they they bought it for six billion and they won’t be making any money. Like honestly, just their payroll alone for the players is more than the revenue they bring in. That’s not even considering all the other people and play things that they got to pay for. They’re so far under the gun, it’s it’s ridiculous. Their tax situation is worse than the Golden State tax situation a few years ago. And that’s ultimately how we end up getting the Warriors that we have today. This depleted but somehow retoled version of it. It worked out, but I mean I think the Warriors also did go right back in and get Jimmy Butler and pay him an extended amount of money. They did and they listen maybe they they chose to do something later and make some money work, but like they couldn’t. So 25 2026 their payroll right now is exceeding 500 million which is crazy. Um they’re the most expensive team in NBA history. NBA history. But but see I think here’s the thing. If you’re willing to pay the tax as uh as the the Boston New York game is is tipping off here. If you’re willing to pay the tax and you can’t defer it like they they said you could. But if I’m paying a tax for Derek White, Drew Holiday, Jaylen Brown, and Jason Tatum. If I’m paying a tax for those guys and I’m down 2-1 to the Knicks and I have a a payroll that’s double theirs, I’m reconsidering this if I’m a new owner. Like something here has to shake because who you who are you considering? Are you re you reconsidering Jason Tatum then? No, no, no, no. I’m keeping Jason Tatum and and Brown. Those two I I I keep. But everybody else, it’s ridiculous how much they get paid. Like Drew Holiday is worth every penny in the context of this team. I couldn’t I couldn’t see it. I would say this. If you’re looking at how and we me and you had this conversation, I don’t know if we were on live for this or me and you were just having this conversation. Um, if you’re having the conversation of blowing this team up after how big a jump the NBA took in the off season, that’s kind of crazy because it went from you can score whatever bucket you want to, hey, if they elbow you in the throat, we calling a a flagrant one. Like how you went from 2023 to 1994. Yeah, that’s an insane jump. So, I I think to me like I I would I can see them maintaining this. I also I still see Boston like if they win this game, they right back in it. That’s a nasty move right there. Oh, they they definitely they definitely right back in it. But it’s like, bro, if they win if they win I I I I’ll go as bold as to say this. If they win this game, they win this series. Nah, I ain’t gonna say that. Getting it back two. And now we know how to fight. Bet it up. Yeah. I think if they if they they they grade their level of intensity. Yeah. Absolutely. Because playoff experience matters. Championship experience matters. And I think this playoffs is showing you I think I think the Denver matchup is showing you that. But uh Hey man, listen. OKC gets blown up. You think OKC gets blown up completely? I think OKC gets blown up, bro. Why would they blow up? because Yeah, but they have look look at it. They are actually again a front runner. They are actually the best in the league record-wise and they may not make another conference final. I love I love these comments. That’s Oh my god, what a great pro. Clap it up. Hey, the squirrels. I like That is an interesting. Oh, he he he had the uh the old Dicka. Oh, Jesus. That’s old Dicka. Yeah. With a uh Chicago Bears Pope hat on. That’s pretty That’s pretty smooth. That’s pretty smooth. Uh but no, man. The the big thing for me right now, like if Chicago and stop watching and attending games, maybe we get a number overall pick thrown our way. League ain’t going to budge. As long as idiots keep filling the seats. That ain’t gonna happen, bro. We We live in a world of TV contracts. All right, brother. Come. Hey, listen. I I That probably worked like 50 years ago, but we live in a world of TV contracts. Well, they getting physical out here. I told you. And the and Boston finally figured out how to do it. Hey, man.

  1. As my buddy put it, Adam Silver learned from David Stern how to rig things. A nice little makeup for the Luka trade.
    Was anyone really expecting the Bulls to land a top 4 spot? Maybe when Reinsdorf is gone.

  2. Imagine if they would have tanked like they were supposed to… They loss a coin toss because of being in a tie that they should have never been apart of. You tank when you are suppose to tank.. Dummies take extra wins for a team that has no chance of winning the title or the conference for lower draft positioning.. Bulls should have had the #1 pick, but they decided to try hard for short sighted reasons. This is why Bulls fans cant have $hit..

    This team is Fake Gold , not even Gold, more like fake gold plated Copper. Giddy is a #3, coby is a #3/#4, there is not #2 or #1 on this team today.. anyone that thinks other wise doesnt know what they are looking at.. Do not overvalue any of these players.. If players putting up numbers on bad teams makes them a #1 or #2 then Beal would be a #1 (which he isnt) , Jordan Poole would be a #1 as well… Do not over pay a #3 like you did with Zach (who is a #3 at best).. Let they azz walk or trade they azz away for young players.. you gonna keep losing until you find your legit #1 anyway, might as well save the cap space and be flexible,

  3. The Reinsdork Organization has been cursed since they ran Michael Jordan out of town. The Bulls will never win anything as long as Jerry is still alive.
