My childhood dream comes true!!!! I like his game but wasn’t expecting that as I haven’t read about him being on the radar. Now my dream is to put Lauri in a sign and trade to land Derozan and what an offseason

The Bulls are likely a 7/8 seed now, like a tier 3 playoff team. 1 piece away from being a tier 2 team.

Ball is a nice compliment to LaVine and it let's Anthony play the combo 6th man role. I wasn't a big fan of drafting Williams, but beyond that, his skillset fits well with this roster right now. Offensively, I think the Bulls are going to put up the points. Having Lauri and Vuc to space the floor, run the high game and get boards is awesome. Will be a very flexible offense. Unfortunately, neither provides a defensive paint presence in the middle, which is going to stop them from taking that next step.

So the Pels are 3 pieces away from being a tier 3 team?

I doubt Lauri will be on the roster unless his market is really bad and it’s so low they have to match an offer. I’m still holding out hope they sign and trade him for DeRozan

He still a viable option? Didn't he win it all 1996 at Syracuse?

Demar would be amazing if the 3 point line didn’t exist

I think that's good enough to get them to 5-6 in the East. His lack of a quality perimeter game isn't as much of an issue when your 2 7' guys can bang 3s.

Dennis Schroder turned down a 4 year $84 million extension from the Lakers during the season.

He currently has 1 offer for him right now, 1 year $5.9mil from the Celtics.



That's just quite the epic fail, but I'd take that horrible situation he put himself in any day. :lol:

I've said for a long time I am not a fan of how the game is played now. Gone are the midrange shots, and that chart shows exactly that.

I'm pretty sure I've laid out why I don't like it for a long time. The lack of mid-range game, the over use of ISO plays, the ticky-tac fouls that are called....
