We knew it would happen for Wiggins. It sucks for Zach but this just furthers that argument that trying to make all 3 work with the starters was hurting all of them. I just think all 3 of them were willing to differ to each other a little too much making it a weird balance between passiveness and over aggressiveness when they got the ball.

Wiggins turned the corner offensively and he is doing it so easily. I'm on board with trading Lavine this summer for a legit SF or C. KAT and Wiggins are good enough offensive talents to carry a team where they need to be complimented with guys who will cover up their defensive flaws.

I think they need to figure out a way to move Dieng I'm almost positive that Thibs will go after Taj Gibson though....That dude from Indiana who got hurt would of been a good fit.

Dieng wouldn't be bad off the bench, he shouldn't be starting next to KAT though.

In the draft Isaac would be perfect for them those he's gonna take some time to develop

I don't think Thibs has te patience for another young player, wouldn't shock me if they trade the pick on draft night. They should think about trading it to the Wiz for Porter in a S&T.

Lavine and Rubio combo in the starting 5 was the problem. I would trade lavine though and tyus finally getting minutes is helping.

I'd keep LaVine and use him off the bench.

LaVine's days as a starter are probably over, they need a 3 & D guy.

If the Bulls end up trading Butler how bout to Minny for the pick Lavine etc?

Depends on the pick, if the Wolves get the 1 and take Ball/Fultz they could just give the Bulls LaVine/Dunn/Shabazz

I was gonna say then they could get a much better deal from the Celtics but we know Ainge isn't offering shyt

I think both of them will improve on defense over the next year. They're under the right coach for sure.

And on that note:

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Harden doesn't deserve to win MVP.

Will you cry when he does?

I want to believe but I think they've both regressed from last year. Maybe Thibs has them focusing on other parts of defense in a team sense, but KAT has an embarrassing effort too regularly. I don't know if he's scared to get fouls and come out of the game or he's just going for rebounds and hoping he and Wiggins will outscore everyone

@tremonthustler1 how tall is Rubio? I'm reading 6'4 on most sites but that can't be right
