Bulls need to trade Lopez, hes too productive & solid

what can we realistically fetch? @Malta
I just certified your tank:
NBA Trade Machine - ESPN
Not much breh, the center market is really saturated to the point the Sixers can't even give Okafor away.


The only team that really needs a C right now are the Cavs.
Portland always needs C's. Nurkic is one injury away from making us a lottery team :to:

RoLo would be the perfect backup...

Am I mistaken in thinking the level of play is higher this year? I've watched like 30 games since the start of the season and damn near every single one has been good competitive basketball...I think less time-outs and less fouls being called helps players get into more of a rythm and play better in general. Also it seems since they calling less offesive fouls players are attacking the basket more instead of settling for jumpers...could just be the games I've seen but I really feel a difference with last year :yeshrug::ehh:

Nah, its noticiably better this year. I think the great rookie class has helped, but also teams are incorporating more ball movement in their offense and defenses are more creatively attacking the PnRs. Both of those things are evening out hte playing field but also making the basketball more aesthetically pleasing.

NBA consistently drops the ball when it comes to scheduling. How do you have 3 days in a row with no national TV games when you have your own network? :dahell:

I think you're more upset than I am :skip:

And I'm merely pointing out another example of how the NBA mismanages their network. NBATV is trash when it has no reason to be

I doubt it's that since they're also swallowing the whistle more so players have less of an incentive to go to the rim.

I enjoy looking at Ledlow being on my TV at any point, but put Games on. Also they replay the same damn " NBA paybacks" all the time. I agree it's the most trash Sport network when it shouldnt

Is there a reason why every game isn't on national TV? I understand they have a league pass to sell and local tv contracts to uphold but there still should be a game on NBA TV the nights TNT/ESPN aren't airing games.

Because it’s impossible to do.


The nights NBATV doesn’t have games is kinda weird, but it’s not as if they have their own feed. They just use a local channel’s crew. They just do Game Time on nights when the lineup is loaded so they can follow certain games depending on the score.
