Need A Legit 2nd Option? Holla at Us... 2017 Bulls Off-Season Thread

[cornercommission2k12]

I have been one against trading jimmy unless it's for a kings ransom. No guarantees in tanking.

But if the reports are true

2017 3rd pick
Nets 2018 pick
Okafor

And jimmy goes out,

That is about as close to a kings ransom as your going to get. Hard to say no to that.

I'm still very skeptical of jimmy being traded, still hard to see a team parting with that much to go 6 games with cleveland instead of 5. And I sure can't imagine lottery teams parting with a top 5 pick just to fight for the 8th seed.

But maybe the talk of front office personnel losing there jobs soon is making these dudes get on the phones idk.

Then there is this part of me that feels this is just all talk to get people watching the draft and all will stand pat , Fultz goes 1, ball goes 2 and all this was just talk and reporters putting things out there for clicks and retweets.

Whatever it is, draft day just got really interesting.

All I know is....

Need to start the beginning of the season, when he got PT against Boston I was Surprised with his range and how hard hard he played . Give the kid some confidence and he can be one of the better stretch 4's in the league.

But I agree that he should be playing a lot minutes Mirotic was getting. Same for Denzel.

If we get all of that I agree I'm with it. I'm afraid though that we walk away with something along the lines of just Okafor, and Sixers 2018 pick instead and that would be unacceptable to me. My gut tells me though that we stand pat and pick Luke Kennard instead and the GarPax cycle continues.

I take it more that this is a make or break season coming. Direction and groundwork for the future must be established or heads will roll. All the bad press might have finally cracked these dudes. Salute to all those who been on these dudes neck for the past few seasons. What started here and other social media outlets climbed up to bigger name journalist and larger platforms and even onto national platforms. Gar pax and hoinerd need to bounce I would settle for at least gar and hoinerd.

I like Fred personally I just don't think the cats they brung in so year fit what he trying to run. I'd get rid of Gar Pax first and get a GM that will at least get dudes that fit what Hoiberg running. I know dudes ain't trying to hear that but who should we bring in as coach if we do can Fred?

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Wouldn't mind doug Collins

Also wouldn't mind rondo coaching. He was basically the coach in the playoffs before he got injured

If we don't like eating that hoiberg money, we could can fred and make Pete meyers a interim for a year. If we happen to win the summer league again, 2 times winning a SL title could justify giving Pete meyers a shot. Doesn't seem like much on the x and os but from what I seen during him coaching summer league he is a motivational kind of coaching. We can ride with that another year so the hit from fred contract isn't so hard.

Do yall agree with this?


I personally think the Bulls need to try to swing hard on some the top FAs. The fact that their names haven't at least been involved with any top FAs is disturbing. It's just weird to me how you never see their names pop up in any rumors unless it's a Butler trade.

Edit: apparently the Bulls are planning to pursue Iguodalas Sources: Andre Iguodala's free agency could put future with Warriors in doubt

I love Jimmy and it would kill me to see him traded off, but its the right move (assuming the return is nice)

 

[Conscious Pilot]

How we let Taj(who we should have moved couple years ago)and Doug go for an Extra from You Got Served is beyond me

The Celtics’ impending acquisition of yet another future first-round pick has increased speculation that Danny Ainge will make a push for a star like Jimmy Butler or Paul George in the coming days. However, that talk is “based more on speculation than reality” when it comes to Butler, according to K.C. Johnson of The Chicago Tribune, who cites three executives who don’t believe the Bulls forward is going anywhere this week.

Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times expresses a similar sentiment in his latest piece, writing that sources say the Bulls’ asking price for Butler is still “almost insurmountable,” and is unlikely to drop by Thursday. People around the Bulls aren’t even convinced that Ainge will come calling on Chicago before the draft

The bulls will be in the exact same position the pacers are in now when jimmy uses his opt out leverage next summer.The team did nothing at the deadline,will do nothing this off season and are waiting til summer '18 free agency,outside getting 200-230 million why would jimmy want to stay here?.Bulls arent even trying to make moves to make them better,completely wasting a star players prime.You think wade isn't in his ear about this?

So the options are max/super max a 29 year old jimmy butler
Have to trade him for pennies on the dollar when he says he won't re-sign like george is doing right now
Hope the young players made huge strides and become stars or great role players and add a star in fa to play with jimmy.

how would the cavs acquire :butler: ???

I have no interest in a trade centered around the likes of kevin love

 

[@OffHalsted]

Suns: The 4th pick & Eric Bledsoe?

If eric wasn't having knee issues, that would be a decent trade i guess
