I highly doubt this is the Bulls F/O issue - Orlando must have had some motive for this trade, because I'm sure Chicago offered much better assets

This is why it's great living in the Chicagoland area. If the Bulls don't make shyt happen, sports radio is going to be live as fukk tonight.

I'm listening to Waddle and Silvy and a caller made a great point. All of the other Chicago franchises get top quality free agents and/or trades, and get people to stay. The Bears do, The Cubs do, Blackhawks were drafted the way they are. What is most perplexing is the White Sox. Kenny Williams and now Rick Hahn makes moves for the South Siders. I do not know what Gar Foreman and Jim Paxson are doing. They need to stop with the franchise mode from NBA Showdown on the SNES and step into today's game. Steady talking about getting people like Mirotic to come over. How you going to draft someone and you don't have a roadmap for when he is going to be in a Bulls uniform? I don't have a favorite team but living in this area, you can't help but to be impressed with the final product on the floor when placed against the talent level, on the floor and in the front office. Paxson and Foreman need to start earning their paychecks. It's Reinsdorf's job to make money, it's their job to make winners.

:snoop: orlando got a 'shyt sandwich' for that dwight howard trade :snoop:

Nope. Vucevic is a beast, they got 5 picks, and Harkless is solid

:dahell:

The trade

Magic
Nikola Vucevic
Arron Afflalo
Al Harrington
Christian Eyenga
Josh McRoberts
Romero Osby (via 2013 2nd round)
Moe Harkless
2014 #12 pick
2017 Lakers first round pick
Future 76ers first

Lakers
Dwight Howard
Early Clark
Chris Duhon

Sixers
Andrew Bynum
Jason Richardson

Nuggets
Andre Iguodala

Magic had no leverage and won that trade hands down. They have the 4th and 12 that they can still leverage to #1.

Meanwhile the Wolves might give up Kevin Love and the 13 pick to get Steph Curry's left sneaker

Agree with everything except for the fact that they said the Cubs get top free agents and they keep players :mjlol:

I seriously don't get why the hell Orlando would make this trade. Why not wait until after free agency and trade him to one of the teams trying to improve that strike out trying to sign a free agent. Unless they need that extra money to sign a big free agent or something I just really don't get it.

And why the hell wouldn't a team like the Bulls or Thunder try and offer up something better. I guess the big key was Orlando wanted no salary back so it had to be a team with a big enough trade exception to absorb it without needing to send money back.
