[@OffHalsted]

Bulls already got got gang of injury prone(Dunn, Zel, Lauri's back) or nikkas coming of injuries not performing up to par(Lavine)...And nikkas lusting after a injured MPJ with a fuk'd up spine
But Bari going to the Bulls is too much

He fits right in

Getting swept with home court advantage has to haunt you as a man.

Sounds for Sarver wasn't willing to pony up bread money for Coach Bud.

It's one thing to get swept, it's an entirely different thing to never be close in a game after having home court and getting swept

I truly believe that if Phoenix gets Shai and Ayton in this draft they will be a PROBLEM next season. Its a shame they werent able to secure the Bucks pick because they potentially couldve gotten Shai, Ayton and Knox all in the same draft. That wouldve been a crazy core

 

[Liquid]

Is this a shot at Kawhi?

Everything is

Two picks at 27

Two picks at 27

This doesn't make any sense for the Bulls to pick a C and then a PF when they already have Markannen and Portis. Bamba makes sense, it's the Diallou pick at 22 which is the head scratcher.

Not talking about that. His mock has both Brunson and Brown drafted by the Celtics at 27.

Portis is a back-up Center. Bamba would be the perfect rim protector, rebounder to pair next to Lauri. Don't see it with Diallo either, but the hope is that he can be molded into a potential 3&D player and the Bulls have a glaring need at the three.

shyt I thought Diallo was a PF not SF.

 

[Guile]

So the east will be run by Philly, Boston, Toronto, and Indiana for the next 5 years.

LeBron is either going to the west or Philly
