This is the correct take. If Doncic slips past number two or three there will be a lot of action from teams trying to move up.verb_to_trust wrote:Yeah I can see things getting crazy.

The Bulls are one of the only teams with cap space so that gives me hope. Normally, I would have zero faith in Garpax and their Rolodex.Monkey_Driven wrote:This is the correct take.

Depends on whether they are trying to do a quick rebuild or a more methodical approach. Probably somewhere in the middle and they'll screw it all up.verb_to_trust wrote:The Bulls are one of the only teams with cap space so that gives me hope.

Yeah, it will likely end badly. They couldn't even properly tank this year.verb_to_trust wrote:They probably think they can half tank like the Rockets did. They can't.

Over $50 million to move up 3 picks? No way.
I would do
Portis, the #22, 2019 top 3 protected pick
for
Parsons & #4

Porter Jr says he's a mix of Tmac KD and Giannis. Rather the Bulls go Young or Bamba over this tool at this point.

Re: NBA Thread
Is it really true that only top ten prospect that worked out for the Grizz was Carter Jr? Who the hell do these guys think they are? The owners need to get some power back somehow. Donald Sterling might know what to do.

Re: NBA Thread
If the Grizz salary dump Parsons with the 4 pick in this draft they deserve to be a lottery team for the next 6 years. And they don't have their pick next year...verb_to_trust wrote:Is it really true that only top ten prospect that worked out for the Grizz was Carter Jr? Who the hell do these guys think they are?

What's the point though if you're stuck drafting a pouty millennial who has accomplished nothing and will walk when his rookie deal is up, right around the time he is maturing into an all star?Monkey_Driven wrote:If the Grizz salary dump Parsons with the 4 pick in this draft they deserve to be a lottery team for the next 6 years.

Re: NBA Thread
I guess I'm confused who's perspective you're taking here? The Bulls should absolutely absord Parsons if it means getting Doncic. They are going to suck the next few years anyway.

I was speaking from the Grizzlies perspective. Makes tons of sense for other teams with cap space.verb_to_trust wrote:I guess I'm confused who's perspective you're taking here? The Bulls should absolutely absord Parsons if it means getting Doncic. They are going to suck the next few years anyway.

Pax: Please focus.
Reinsdorf: Sorry, so get em.
Pax: He'll be gone when we pick, we need to trade for him.
Reinsdorf: Should have known, how much is the going to cost me.
Pax: $50 million.

Re: NBA Thread
Once you get to about 17 or so it's pretty much a crapshoot. Someone could reach on the Villanova redhead in the first round or he could go in mid second. Lots of potentially useful guys that are in that same situation.
