I think Walt's guy is the guy

You can still get a Kawhi Leonard with the 15th pick, or a Draymond/Jokic type in the 2nd round.

Bulls should do that.

They really need to get back to the tank asap. This little run has been fun, but there are some great players going to be at the top of this draft. Gotta have a top 5 pick.

Need to trade Lopez now and Mirotic as soon as he is eligible.

Looked at their January schedule and at first glance it looked tougher than it actually happens to be.

I wouldn't simply give Niko away either(what a difference a year makes) but i would place him on the block. I don't know if i go specifically for a draft pick. I'd go for a young player or two with talent who happens to be languishing on someone's bench. I'm beginning to appreciate Hoiberg's ability to develop young talent. They are doing an excellent job of developing guys. Maybe GarPax can pluck a couple of guys with talent that others have given up on like Dunn.

I would agree with this strategy as an option for Niko. You know there are guys sitting who can play in this league. Not sure how sophisticated their pro scouting dept is (they did hire Doug Collins who knows talent) but they did acquire Nwaba who clearly can play. Who is to say what Niko becomes? If the switch has suddenly gone on with the guy then keep him, unless you get value back. The last thing they want to do is give him away for some bust out like Cam Payne and Niko continues to produce for a San Antonio for the next 6-8 years. Then that becomes a fireable offense in most organizations but who knows with Uncle fucking Jerry.

It will be very interesting to see what happens come deadline time in Feb. and how well they play prior to that.

Tough matchup against WASH tomorrow too...

I read something the other where Mirotic stated that he went back and looked at film and realized that he had to have better shot selection. That along with the fact that he didn't garner much intetest while on the free agent market may have triggered something in him Portis punch will obvuously be linked but i don't know about that. It happened at the beginning of camp and we really don't know if he'd already made the adjustment.

Biggest issue for me was always his terrible shot selection.

If he has corrected that then the Bulls may actually have found something with him. I'd still deal him. Lauri Markannen has more upside and unless they believe they can play them together you have to deal Mirotic.

Bullshit Niko had to look at ojd films.....none of the coaching staff told him his selection ....just Mirotic and ltg bullshit I say

This is funny. Even if the Bulls tank and receive a top 3 pick what precludes them from "discovering" the vastly overrated Draemond Green in the 2nd? Theoretically they can still do both.

For every Kawhi Leonard there are 50 Acie Laws.

It looks great when you strike and the Bulls already did that with Butler. You are not going to challenge for anything by depending on mid to late first round picks.


Toronto has that sort of team and they can't get out of the 2nd round of the playoffs The Hawks tried to compete that type of team for years and struggled to get past the 2nd Round.


If you look at the Best teams you will see that they are littered with high draft picks. Doesn't matter how they were acquired.

They currently have the 9th pick but obviously that will continue to drop if they keep winning. Agree, trade Lopez asap. As to Niko, I'm just not going to unload him for a 2nd round pick. Got to get value for him. By unloading Lopez that will hurt them just enough so they start losing again.
