>The Bulls, league sources say, wound up giving real consideration to trading Caruso on Deadline Day after insisting for weeks that they wouldn’t. But Chicago’s talks with Golden State ultimately collapsed and then the Bulls, league sources say, informed Philadelphia that they were keeping Andre Drummond, too, with the Sixers pressing to acquire the former All-Star center.
> One league source said that the Bulls were only willing to trade Drummond if they could arrange the acquisition of another center to replace him. When no such trade materialized, Chicago opted to keep Drummond in hopes that his rebounding (8.6 boards in 16.7 minutes per game) will help the 26-29 Bulls secure a Play-In Tournament berth in the East at the very least.

I figured that was the case. We don’t have a reasonable 3rd string center and would have had a big void to fill without Drummond.
We had a seat at the table during the trade deadline.
This is why we should’ve traded Caruso to GS last year. We prob couldve got Kuminga last year along with Moody. Hell even in the beginning of this season we prob could’ve got him
They probably saw curry as fair value
Just play Sanogo
AKME is like everyone I’ve ever been in a fantasy league with. No trades. The shitty team I built is awesome, despite the win loss record saying otherwise.
They going to rebuild in the off-season. When Zach value is expected to be higher than now. Also Lonzo is expected to play next season. So there’s going to be a lot of salary to move for salary balancing filler in trades. Lonzo expiring contract would weirdly be considered a trade asset.
Bulls haven’t made a trade since August 2021, I don’t wanna hear about how close we were to making some.
