Trade Demar for the 3rd round pick, get Brandon Miller. Sign-and-trade Vuc to Dallas and get Chrisitan wood.
Lets be honest here. Bulls had great players like Rose , Butler, Lauri and many more. Problem isnt it recruitment or scouting, problem is in the management of the organization as well as coaching. We have and had great players and they all left without any significant successes (Except for Rose)
The smartest thing to do is rebuild gather picks like the thunder and prepare for the future imagine the bulls get bronny James Kenyon Anthony Carlos boozer kid Chris Paul jr. And Zaire wade. Trading for the #3 pick and more is the smartest move get scoot Henderson the guy is a beast and his game is similar to 🌹
No No No You guys have to sober up. This is stupid stop this. We are running it back and need someone with in our price range. Don't be silly.
Bro reality is Dame is in win now mode and the Blazers have zero chance at trading that 3rd pick for a elite player to team up with Dame. So best situation is we trade for him. Demar and picks for him is the way to go. Lonzo is done for and the bulls might lose vuc if you ask me so why not. The bulls have zero threat at the 3 point line so its hard for lavine to score consistently when lanes are clogged. Dame would change that. The 3rd pick is not a proven when dame is. They ain't getting to younger
Honestly I actually think that there aren’t many teams that can make a better offer than the Bulls.
The teams that will be interested on the pick are teams that are in a rebuilding/blowing it up mode and have a star that they are willing to trade. So basically scratch every team that is on the playoffs (except the Nets and Wolves but I will get to them), because why would they trade one of their best players for a pick? That would only set them back for a couple of years.
The Nets have the best trade piece imo, but from what I have read they are not interested in trading Bridges and I doubt that any other player from that roster will be enough for Portland.
The Wolves are said to be interested in trading KAT. They want to build around Ant and they have invested heavily to build a contender now, so I doubt that they will want to trade for the pick.
The other lottery teams, IMO, don’t have a better player to include on the trade than the Bulls have, or if they do it is a cornerstone of their franchise so they won’t.
The only team I think can offer a better proposal are the Raptors with a trade centred around Siakam, that would be a better fit than Zach/DeMar (bear in mind that I think that the Blazers should trade Dame and not the pick, because I don’t see any move around the pick that can make them a contender).
So I think the Bulls have a very good chance of getting that pick, and I would trade for it especially if the Scoot is there (and I think he will be because the Hornets will go for fit and draft Miller…)
NGL, even if it's not a great move, I'd really freaking enjoy watching Dame play in Chicago.
dont bring another old guy. start getting younger. i would rather trade demar, vooch coby to blazers and not for Lillard, but get the 3rd pick, Reddish and Nurkic. or i try trading coby, vooch, terry, javonte, and Lonzo, to the wolves and get KAT, and i will trade demar back to the raptors to get OG. now they are younger with legit starters of Ayo, Lavine, Patrick, OG and KAT. then i got a solid bench of Caruso,, Karlik Jones, Jones JR, Taylor and Drummond.
I'd like to see Damian Lillard on the Bulls but I think they would have to give up too much for Lillard. It may not be worth it
If the hornets take Miller literally trade anyone for scoot
We are rebuild ready. Dalen Terry showed signs of talent, Ayo is still young and with DeMar gone he can get more touches on offense, pat can also boom. I can even see a future where we are a 500 team in the next 5 seasons
I agree i would trade for the #3 pick
A chance at having Scoot on the team would be a dream but I see us running it back with the same team again.
Teams wanting so much for players just makes trades stupidly overpriced atm
Trade the pick for
I think this group can win with the right pieces around them. Watching a rebuild again would really suck.
I agree. 3rd round pick or bust.
Give them Zack, force Pwill to be at least the #2 GUY , resign Vuc, get some picks and young players and get out of salary cap hellz.. you cant even rebuild with a Max Zach yearly $ figure on the payroll and we have seen enough of those two wings "working together". They need to keep looking for their young Alpha as stop wasting time thinking older betas are gonna just magically turn into alphas.
I agree with you 100% on everything you said as I have been thinking the exact same thing
I hope so. I hope they trade for ethier the 3rd pick, the 10th pick or one of the magic's picks.
The question is tho after would the bulls rebuild?
So if the bulls were too rebuild it would need too be done right. So trade lavine, lonzo, demar, vuc, pat Bev, Drummond and Green. Get young players, picks, and build a core.
So if it was me what i would do is trade lavine too the Knicks or magic and get 3 1sts and Wendal or Mitchell Robinson.
Starting lineup: 1. Scoot, 2. Ayo, 3. Patrick Williams, 4. Mo Bamba & 5. Mitchell Robinson. Dalen Terry, Coby white, Grant Williams, Terry Taylor, Caruso & markio off the bench.
Why would Dame come here? He wants to compete not be in the lottery again
I agree, I don’t think this team should trade almost everything for Dame. It just too much to give and it’s just a risk.
Get Naz Reid in the building!
I just want vuc gone and ball because obviously he won’t be the same Derozan needs to stay and Zach we need to find a more aggressive big and a point guard who can control the game with an high bball iq
Are you serious? Dame is not that man and he getting on. Not interested unless ak can pair him with our big 3 which can't happen so no. Just my take. Bulls should be focusing on developing our young players and with Demar and AC we are heading in the right direction.
The bulls are crazy to past up on Lillard he is the number 1 option we need. I would definitely have him and lavine in the back court any day.
Damion Lillard for Lonzo ball, Patrick Williams, Coby white, and two future 1 st round picks
If ture. That NY trade deadline deal would be much better than anything else we heard.
If Scoot drops to 3rd than I’m going all in. But at that point you might as well blow it up and get as many picks as you can and start over. If he doesn’t drop than only way I’m trading for 3rd and drafting Miller is if they take Demar, sign and trade Vooch and give them back their protected pick and take Nurkic salary back.
Otherwise if that doesn’t work than I’m definitely calling them and asking to change their protected pick for NY’s 23rd pick.
