Man miss me with old Yaxel over Burries. Give me Burries. I do think I’d prefer Wagler or Brown Jr over him tho. If we get lucky tho Peterson to me is the best fit
We saw Derrick Queen go from a late 1st rd pick to a lottery pick because he showed everyone he can play elite basketball against top competition. If we don’t see that in a prospect then the bulls shouldn’t draft him.
Yeah I'm passing on Yaxel unless it's with the portland pick if it conveys. If the portland pick conveys use that pick to get a big
If the Bulls get the POR pick Yaxel isn’t falling past MIA or GSW. Burries is more likely to fall than Yaxel to 15.
NO traded cp3 and got the number 1 pick in AD then got the number 1 pick again with AD to get zion
Is Andre Stojakovich from Illinois coming out in this draft he has been playing really good and could be a good shooting guard
Need some new Bulls swag, first was leery about that powder blue writing, but it's growing on me.
P-Will didn't pan out, but the way bigger issue was health. Ball, DeRozan, LaVine, Caruso, and Vuch could have been a fun play-off team, but obviously no top ten guy.
It does not matter who your core four is, if they are injured, you're not doing anything. OKC did well this season, but they hit stretch where they dipped, and they started the year first 20 games or so with the easiest schedule in the league, in a year so historic for tanking the NBA is finally changing the rules.
I do have a question about Arturas, and Eversley. One is Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations, and the other is General Manager – Marc Eversley. It seems like it used to just be GM, but how would it work as if they split? Who would be pulling the trigger at the deadline?
