Thanks. So more than likely the Bulls will either trade the pick or have whatever pick the Bobcats have in 2016

Welp, I guess it's not too early for some sites:

The best part of the whole thing is that all of their picks to date, are very underwhelming.

Kemba Walker, Biyombo, Gilchrist. And Michael is running that organization.

That pick remains gold.

It's almost a certainty the Bulls will get it in 2016 and have a top 7(at worst pick). There's really no reason to think the Bobcats will improve significantly in the near future. It's a really valuable asset to have.

Charlotte is just such a cluster.

Look at someone like Kemba Walker. He's going on his 3rd head coach in his first 3 seasons in the league. Everything starts over again for them. And while Kemba in particular improved some last season, he's still a tweener, not a facilitator, makes terrible decisions, and reminds me of Brandon Jennings in many respects. Which isn't a good thing. They're both "Hero Ballers", and not very good at it.

And the Bobcats, soon to be Hornets perimeter game is absurdly abysmal. Between Walker, Henderson and Mullens, they make Brandon Jennings look like Stephen Curry from beyond the three point line.
Walker and Mullens each attempted 4 three pointers last season, and each averaged 32% in doing so. Henderson is a career 27% shooter from beyond the arc. At least Kidd-Gilchrist knows better as he only attempted 9 of them last year, nailing a whopping 22%.

Biyombo remains a very raw project. There's flashes, but there's also flashes of pure suck.

Guys like Tyrus Thomas and Ben Gordon just hang around and poison the atmosphere.

Did I mention that Mullens for some reason thinks he's Dirk Nowitzki?


Then you throw in the Jordan factor, which has been nothing short of complete disaster for his entire post playing career decision making, and well.......

There's also the whole thing about Charlotte definitely NOT being a destination city for free agents, or high end coaches.

You know damn well that Michael is gonna make another completely awful decision for the next head coach.

Same with the Draft more than likely.

And then on the other hand, should any of these guys somehow manage to breakout and become a superstar, they'll surely force their way off of that God forsaken team in the next couple of years.

Odds are that one of the "names" on that team will suffer a catastrophic injury for at least one of the upcoming seasons, as averages would seem to bear out.

All in all, they seem to have a very bright future.

Now the hope has to be that they're not bad enough next year that they end up with either Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker.

Way too early for me. Maybe some of the college guys around here would be more on top of that.

You figure a kid has to go to college for at least one year before entering the NBA. So if there's a phenom in that summer of 2016 draft, that will mean the kid was a college freshman for the 2015-16 season. Which would make him a high school senior for the 2014-15 season. And he would be a junior for the 2013-14 season. Which means at the moment, he is a sophomore in high school.

Also, I thought we weren't allowed to talk about the Charlotte pick.

They're crazy. Bulls should make an offer.

Can't break up that core.

They absolutely should! Well, they should tinker with it. Rose needs a better sidekick. Boozer + Deng doesn't do anything for me.
