Even the idea of getting 7 + Wiggins + Dunn isn't all that appealing Maybe I'm underrating how much more room he has to improve his game, but it seems like Wiggins is good at volume scoring and nothing else. #7 will probably be...Malik Monk at best?, and then Kris Dunn is trash

Look, I am almost sympathetic to the argument that the Bulls "needed" to hit the reset button. But when you accept that conclusion, you have to look at how they got to this point. 1) Jimmy Butler is 27 years old, is a top-15 player in the league and has only gotten better over the past few years 2) He has two years left on his contract, which is a good value, and wanted to come back Has a player EVER been traded in that context? If you can't build a good team with a guy like that in your pocket already, you are not qualified to run an NBA team. Things only got this dire because of the incompetence of the front office, and you can't let them get out of it by saying "ah, nothing we can really do now, gotta start all over again." If a new GM came in and determined the cupboard was too bare to build around Butler, I'd accept that. If GarPax are doing that, why are we assuming anything other than that they're too lazy to do the work to build a real team unless it falls in their laps?

Kibner posted:That's basically describing Cousins. lol Cousins at least had Character Concerns, and he was traded with a year and a half on his contract At least Vivek had the passion to be obsessed with Buddy Hield. Paxson saw Kris Dunn play in the NCAA tournament and thought "yeah OK I guess that guy is gonna be good, lock it down"

It's just so frustrating to see a guy like Morey, for all the warts you might wanna ascribe to him, work his rear end off to turn a ~treadmill team~ into one with a bonafide star and many complimentary role players. And here are the Bulls, at the dawn of their rebuild, throwing a first-mid rounder into a trade where they give up by far the best player, and then selling their second pick. There is no initiative, no sense of urgency to root out good assets or look for a competitive advantage. The Bulls are gonna be fine with the return on this trade for a few years, make their picks and just hope it all works out.

EvanTH posted:WHY would you ever sell a pick for cash? WTF is that? Are the Chicago Bulls worried about the imminent merger with the NBA or some poo poo? It makes sense when teams have too many picks, aren't even gonna entertain carrying 2-3 rookies on their roster, could put that cash toward buyouts or other basketball-related expenditures and can't find anyone to give them a future asset Unfortunately the Bulls sold an attractive second rounder to the Actual Best Team Of All Time a few hours after they dumped their best player and committed to a rebuild, so,

And that Jerian Grant was actually the best under-25 point guard they acquired via trade in the past year? Well, the Bulls front office just isn't sure whether the team should be committing significant PG minutes to Rajon Rondo next year. It's impossible to say really
