Damn gonna miss him but we already kinda knew he was gone. IJax really took the backup center spot late in the season and the playoffs.

That’s a good deal for Stix.

He’s gotta get better to be a starter. As a backup/rotation big this is good deal and he’ll get play time too which is great!

That’s an absolute steal for a big who shoots the 3 so well. LAL is really dumb for not signing him to backup AD.

Will miss him. Hope he does well for the Bulls. They’re obviously going nowhere fast, but glad he got his $$$ and hope he can get some good minutes for them.
Obi was obviously more important to bring back. And IJax gives us more than Stix in general (Far more athletic and gives us that toughness/edge that we sometimes lack).

Wishing him nothing but the best! Tons of potential still.

Will forever appreciate him for staying with the Pacers in 2023 and keeps on working on his game, he took such a huge leap this year. Wish him nothing but the best in Chicago.

Good pickup from the Bulls, they’ll be rebuilding and have time to give Jalen’s development.

Wishing Jalen all the best. He got his money and has a good chance to see minutes this upcoming season. The Bulls are clearly starting over. Depending on what else they do this offseason, could be an exciting, young roster with no expectations or much pressure. Hoping Smith shows some more development.

Good Luck Jalen! Congrats on the payday

I predicted this the last time we played Chicago in their building. I guarantee Stacey King had something to do with this.

I will always appreciate him licking windows and barking at dogs

Chicago got their second goggles guy now! Loved Horace Grant. I’ll be sad to see Jalen leave, but Chicago will be good for him.

Wish we could have done some kind of sign and trade and at least pick up a couple of future srps or something

Love that for him

Wow, that is a steal of a deal I thought he was going to get more like $12-$15M/yr

I’ll miss Jalen a lot, happy to see him get a contract he deserves.

Haha I will never forget all the posts we made to convince other teams not to sign him, what a fun time
