Chicago Bulls Linked to Jalen Green Trade?! | Would He Fit in Chicago’s Rebuild?

[Music] why was that necessary see look you You wanted to get the troll sound in you couldn’t even get the transition right cuz you were trying to do that on the soundboard that’s crazy business first my brother no you’re right you’re right that’s on me so one of the things that came out uh uh late a couple days ago is that the Bulls First off let’s let’s let’s set this the Houston Rockets offer for Kevin Durant is apparently Jabari Smith the number 10 and uh and Jaylen Green the Suns do not want Jaylen Green back so they’re going to need a third team reportedly the Bulls the Nets and I can’t remember the I think there was a third team in there as well are teams that are that are listed as teams that could be the third team in that deal now we have heard before several times the Bulls are open to using their open cap space their expiring contracts to be the third team in a deal jaylen Green’s contracts at about $33 million he’s under contract for three more years the last year of that being a player option so with the Bulls having roughly about 18 million in cap space they wouldn’t have to put up the full 30 so avo Patrick Williams deal could could get you there as far as the salary matching requirements to bring in Jaylen Green to this team pat how do you feel about that and what do you think that could mean for the Bulls roster no thank you no jaylen Green need a dog jayen Green jayen Green needs a lot more than a dog he needs hope a dream prayer uh Cambodian breast milk he needs a couple of things bro cambodian breast milk is crazy shout out to the Dale only the finest Cambodian breast milk um no like I I implore go look at his last 10 and I’m not saying that’s everything that of what he was but I don’t know if y’all remember this he was just not shooting anymore in the playoff he He got shook he got scared of the moment no maybe he will become a great player down the line maybe he will have and listen Josh Giddy had a bad playoff bad uh uh Western Conference final right like it happens but like he stopped shooting all he do is shoot his skill set is shoot jump throw that mug up there like I I I got one player like that already i got P Will already and he’s taller i don’t need shorter P Will on my team wow comparing Jaylen Green to Pee Will is wild bro that’s that’s a wild take peewee wishes he could he could he could score the if PeeWee could score at the level that Jaylen Green does while being the defender he already is he’d be a starter still he’d be a star listen we all we all know his mentality is it’s not it’s not uh um skill set but like to me with Jaylen Green the thing is one you’ve been incredibly inefficient over your career you’re starting to get a little bit more efficient but you were and I know you can’t hold one playoff series against a player for his entire career yeah but like bro that was bad i ain’t never seen nobody like you he He was visibly shook on the court he averaged 13 points i think it was like 12 points per game but he had a 38 point game in that you take that away he’s averaging like nine points in the playoffs here hey he he just he got scared bro and by the way the game he had 38 points what’d he take 24 shots i don’t even remember 24 shots from 38 points ain’t that bad though no no no it it was it was fine i think he I think he ended up shooting like 14 for for 24 or something like that he didn’t take 15 shots the rest of the series like that’s not acceptable like I watch What about the people for this though Pat and I know we’re going to get some responses like this what about the people that ask though but Pat he’s young he still has a lot of room to grow i get judging him off the playoff series and that’s fair but what if the upside’s there i’m just asking again i agree with you i don’t want Jaylen Green on this team the the You got to ask yourself is the juice worth the squeeze jaylen Green has been a very up and down player in his time in Houston it’s why Houston is very willing to move on from him it’s why Phoenix doesn’t want Jaylen Green back but let me ask you this Pat could we have not have said the same thing for Josh Giddy before we traded for him again just just for fairness of the conversation I don’t think there was a Josh Giddy stretch of confidence or Jaylen Green has had a a stretch like Josh Giddy did where you could have something to point to that you felt confident in last the 2023 24 season I think you had that stretch where they won 19 games in a row you saw that from Jaylen Green then I mean he was scoring but it was an incredibly inefficient scoring well no he was scoring I think really efficient and that was probably his best defensive stretch too he played really good defense when Alfen Singon went down at the end of that season and we haven’t seen it since then that but but again I again I don’t disagree with you i’m just you know we agree on this so for the nature of the conversation I’m just trying to offer counterpoints in in in the case that like if you look at that stretch like that stretch can be comparative to looking at the stretch of Josh Giddy when they that year that Shay was out and Josh Giddy actually got to play point guard like Jaylen Green got to do more things offensively he played really good he played some solid defense there if a team can if uh if AK was looking at anything I could see them looking at that stretch and saying if we can just get 80% of that more consistently we got us something sitting here looking at it now um it it very well I mean it’s kind of who who put the comment in there if if you going to uh pay if you going to trade for Drayen Green just pay Kobe White no agreed kind of and what as as I’m looking at it it’s like he’s two years younger than than than uh Kobe White there you go on that one but yeah as I’m looking at it it’s like 7 for 13 1 for 12 four for 12 7 for 11 0 for nine um but no I just to me I I think that uh the Jaylen Green conversation is fine um but I do I do think you’ve got what they say we got we got McDonald’s at home you got Jaylen Green at home like if if you having Jaylen Green conversation yeah he’s two years younger than Kobe White just pay Kobe White hey don’t disagree with you there don’t disagree i mean the only thing that I could think of it is is if somehow they see Jaylen Green being a better fit next to Kobe White but with his He’s not a good He’s not a great three-point shooter he’s not a terrible three-point shooter he’s not a great three-point shooter either yeah so it’s like I I guess I don’t know i mean we’ll see like I I I think kind of though that this has moved on a little bit I think um but we shall feeling like you got to go with that though when you go you know i mean like that’s your answer like that’s the kind of player Jaylen Green is he’s talented but it’s like Yeah it’s like here’s the thing probability over possibility there’s a there’s a possibility that Jaylen Green finally wakes up and figures it out and he’s a 24 25 point per game scorer for for six seven years in a row there’s a possibility that that happens what’s the probability that it happens though and that’s something that people talk so much about the possibility i don’t think they talk about the probability when you look at the way that Jaylen Green scores it’s like yeah to me I could see him be putting up 24 25 points per game but it’s a Jordan pull on the Wizards situation now I will say this his uh his shots off the court incredibly accurate oh buckets clearly clearly this guy’s putting up will numbers off he’s getting a lot of gut shots wait a minute if uh if Drea comes with him I might consider it well we had Megan the Stallion in here and it didn’t help anything i I wasn’t worried about the help and then Tori then Tori correct cheated on her and ruin ah Tori dang it got caught cheating allstar weekend he wasn’t even an allstar stay at home bro you know what killed me was when it was the one picture with just his handprints on it just there was so much hate in the comments it was like I hate Tory Craig bro that’s this man how do you do this you don’t even get minutes that’s crazy bro not getting minutes but out here cheating on Megan the Stallion bro not getting minutes but getting minutes hey man uh we going to keep this thing moving along appreciate y’all for showing love as always hit that like button subscribe to the page drop a C red in the chat if you have not done so uh we got to talk about one of my favorite players coming on uh to do a workout with the Chicago Bears here chicago Bears I’m in the wrong sport chicago Bulls here Danny Wolf and Carter Bryant working out with the Bulls we’ll talk about that but first we got to tell you guys all about game time
