I still can't believe how much the Bulls gave up to get Cameron Payne.

It has to do with euphronius' statement, which I was responding to.

The fact that Philly, LA, or Boston hasn't pulled the trigger on Butler, if the report is true that all the Bulls want is a top three pick, seems crazy. Dude's under contract for 3 more years and is an actual all-star. Banking on an unknown because they might be better than someone who is already better than 99 percent of the league is bonkers.

Are you for real? All three GMs should be fired if that's true.

Giving up Porzingis sounds about as stupid as the Pelicans giving up Anthony Davis to me, but I felt that way about the Kings giving up Cousins too, so whatever.

By the way, incredibly amused that the Wizards got a way better point guard that can space the floor in Frazier for a 2nd rounder while the Bulls gave up almost everything for MCW and Payne

Knicks trade every player other than Carmelo to move up to #3 in the draft to take Jayson Tatum so that he can play exactly like Carmelo except none of his shots will go in.

remember that the bulls had spencer dinwiddie, who was literally better than every pg on their roster, and let him go for nothing then got torched by him even though he's on the nets

Clearly in this constructed fantasy scenario Melo wins 6th man of the year after averaging 25* a game.

They would have to shoot under 30% to be appreciably worse.

Problem with the Bulls is they want guys who can play now because they don't want to rebuild. If I remember correctly, they were more interested in guys like Crowder and Bradley than picks that the Celtics had.

Bulls need a complete teardown and rebuild but will never do it. Partly because of money and party because I think they are just too lazy to deal with it.

He's the only one that isn't the same or better. Frazier wouldn't fix any Bulls PG problem.

Here's my solution to the Bulls PG situation

Rondo: Alpha, untouchable
Payne: Gets haircut, immediately starts shooting 37% from three
Grant:
