The OKC Thunder Losing Could Be a Big Opportunity for the Bulls

1. Sorry guys, I accidentally had an older video scheduled to go live this morning. Here is the right video.

2. I Honestly Like The Idea Of Harkenstein A Center With Playoff Experience That Can Help Push The Team We Also Need Someone Who Can Play Some Level Of Board Defense I Would Be Happy With Having A Good Caliper Level Center Again He Might Not Be The Best But I Feel His Roll Will Fit Right With Our Current Team Right Now

3. I knew Someone was gonna do this, no thank you. Not helping that team out. Don’t want anyone who didn’t show up in the conference finals. Move on and use our own 4 spot pick

4. Yea no way OKC are able to trade into the top 4 with their picks.
   But I can see the Thunder trying to get to 8/9 and try to grab Mara to go against Wemby.
   Bulls need to explore every avenue to to get acquire talent. Hopefully this new front office will be good with possible trades and picking the right FA’s

5. I’m going to be honest with you. The Bulls are gone and they’re not coming back! Get a new team.

6. Good piece! Lu Dort and Casen Wallace would be great adds for the Bulls.
   OKC should go all in on Giannis. SGA/Giannis duo will be scary for the rest of the league.
   I think Caleb Wilson could go 1st to Washington. If not 1st definitely in the top 3. If Caleb Wilson is the Bulls target they should trade up to get him.

7. OKC can go F themselves SGA couldn’t get it done. Will stick with #4 and #15 build like them and the spurs did

8. Great vid Jay Rock

9. If the Bulls don't come out of this draft with a Center then I would love Hartenstein. He's an above average starting Center who would provide a good veteran presence to anchor the defense and allow all the young talent to develop.
   If the Bulls do spend #15 on a young Center to go along with Boozer/Wilson at #4 then Dort would also be a good pick up for many of the same reasons except as a very good complimentary 3&D veteran on the wing.
   Neither of these guys would be in the way of developing the young talent and would allow the Bulls to let them grow as players in a competitive environment with vets who know what it take to compete at the highest level in the league.
   They also could be very good trade chips either at the trade dealine or next offseason to add more young talent. I fail to see the downside in adding either of them.

10. lol
    I thought I was in Groundhog Day

11. I don’t want any of them. Why would I want Reaves if the Lakers don’t think they can win with him and Luka, but he can win with Matas? lol. FOH. Sign only contracts 2 years or less or take on bad contracts for picks. Even if pick 4 turns out to be a superstar. That will take time. They went young. Let them be young and grow so you know what you need to spend to add when they are ready in a couple years. Anything now is a big time mistake and how you end up stuck incapable of making the big move. Draft 4 and either move up from 15 to higher or don’t do a damn thing. Let the youth develop while the East still has teams far move along than them.

12. Here’s an idea

    STOP TRADING DRAFT PICKS

13. This video made me unsubscribe.

14. What if OKC offered Chet plus this year's 12th and 17th picks for the 4th?

15. Alright so the whole Thunder roster for the Bulls roster straight up 😂

16. I honest love the idea of getting 3 young veterans like hartenstine, dort and rui. Still every guy on the roster is under 30 and you need a balance of ages on the roster to help the young guys grow. Giddey, Matas, Caleb plus our core now and then adding Dort, Rui and Isaiah? C'mon son were cooking

17. Bulls should get Alex Caruso back

18. The other part is size. Jayden is around 6’10, and in this new NBA, I think you’re going to need more legit 7-foot-plus size. We are in the Wemby era now. The league is changing.

    The teams that realize this early are going to be in good shape. The teams that wait too long are going to be playing catch-up.

    That’s why I’d rather take a swing on someone like Luigi Suigo.

    A legit 7’3 center who looks like he can shoot, finish around the post, move well, and potentially defend. You can’t teach that type of size.

    And if he can shoot threes and defend, that opens up the whole offense.

    Now your guards and wings have space. Giddey can get downhill. Matas can attack. Caleb or Peterson can beat their man and actually get rewarded. And if the defense helps, now you have shooters open.

19. In today’s NBA, if your big can’t shoot, doesn’t have a real offensive bag, and mainly relies on athleticism, defenses are going to sit in the paint. And when that happens, you’re making life harder for everybody else on the floor.

    That’s my concern with Jayden.

    He doesn’t really have a go-to offensive game. He’s not someone you can throw the ball to and say, go get us a bucket. And if he’s not spacing the floor, then opposing bigs like Wemby and other rim protectors can just sit near the basket.

    That hurts the Bulls’ guards and wings.

    Because if Josh Giddey gets downhill, if Matas Buzelis attacks a closeout, or if the Bulls draft a guy like Caleb Wilson or Darryn Peterson, they should be rewarded when they beat their defender.

    They should have a lane to the rim.

    Or if the defense collapses, they should be able to kick it out to open shooters.

    But if your big’s defender is already sitting in the paint, those easy layups disappear. Those drive-and-kick chances disappear. And now you’re doing a disservice to the players you’re trying to develop.

    That’s why spacing matters so much.

    The whole point of modern offense is to open the floor, force help, force rotations, and create easy looks. But if you have a non-shooting big who doesn’t pressure the defense, the defense doesn’t have to make tough decisions.

    They can protect the paint and stay home on shooters.

    And that’s not what I want for the Bulls.

    The other part is size. Jayden is around 6’10, and in this new NBA, I think you’re going to need more legit 7-foot-plus size. We are in the Wemby era now. The league is changing.

20. Honestly just give us Sabonis out of Sacramento. Presence in the paint who can play some D, set some screens, grab boards, and knock down some jump shots

21. Chet, Ajay and picks for the 4th. I’m all in

22. Lebron ain't retiring after next season.

    It will either be during the 2028 off-season, the 2030 off-season, or the 2031 off-season.

    Hear me now, quote me later!!!

23. No to dort and chet🥵 chet lecks heart and dort can't hit open 3 at all

24. I'll give Chet, 12, and 17, for the number four pick!

25. I think Dort and Hart are both a little too old to go after. Would rather take a chance on younger players w/ potential upside

26. Let's just start with a clean state and build our own way to establish a new Culture under Graham.
