Nice read. We could get a top 10 pick with our own, and there are several FA this summer that could fit in with Hoibergs fast paced basketball. Looking at the Bulls roster, Paxson and Gar Forman have done a good job of adding solid young players at just about every position. Small forward could probably use an upgrade, especially another explosive athlete who can create his own shot. With that in mind, how about Denver's Will Barton? He'll be an unrestricted free agent after the Nuggets failed to sign him to an extension last fall. The 6-foot-6 wing is averaging a career best 14.4 points and is ideally suited for the fast-paced offense Fred Hoiberg favors. Other wing players who could be good fits for a young and improving team include Detroit's Avery Bradley, the Lakers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Philadelphia's J.J. Redick, Boston's Marcus Smart, Utah's Rodney Hood, San Antonio's Danny Green, the Clippers’ Lou Williams, Denver's Wilson Chandler and the Grizzlies' Tyreke Evans. Of course, the Bulls could also decide to keep their powder dry until 2019, when the $14.3 million salary of Robin Lopez comes off the books. By now it's pretty clear the Bulls won't be adding a top-3 pick in the 2018 draft unless they get lucky in the lottery. There are definitely some talented players in the 5 to 12 range, including Texas big man Mo Bamba, Alabama point guard Collin Sexton, Villanova swingman Mikal Bridges, Kentucky's wing duo of Kevin Knox and Hamidou Diallo, and the Michigan St. forward tandem of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Miles Bridges. All of them look like NBA starters with high end potential, and would be nice additions to the Bulls’ rotation. read more http://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bu...ent-surge-change-bulls-front-office-plans-fly
Paxson and Foreman drafted Nurkic and Gary Harris and traded them for McBuckets. Rodney Hood was available at both spots, and I would have taken Harris and Hood over McBuckets. Trust Foreman and Paxson? You're joking.
I know. They messed up with McDermott and Payne. I will also add Felicio. $8 mill for 4 years for what??? But, Markkanen and Dunn and much better than they thought, much faster than they thought. Sign a young FA that fits, get a top 10 pick, we could be very good, even a playoff team in the east next year. Now is that basketball hell again? We shall see. Personally I want a top 3 or top 5 pick, but that aint happening unless we trade half of the team away at trade deadline.
