    How much should he be rebounding? 4 rebounds per game isn't bad for a wing. If anything, I think his assists need to come up. They're only at 2.2 per game. They've got Towns averaging 12.3 boards, but Dieng only averages 8 a game. That's not great.

    Has anyone checked out Wiggins twitter account? Might be something outrageous from when he was 14yrs old.

    Unconventional thinking, to say the least. When LeBron formed the Heattles, conventional thinking was you need a Big 3 to win a championship.

    When Durant joined GSW, it up the stakes. Now you need a Big 4 to win it all.

    So, your plan is to trade away one of our two 20+ ppg scorers for two role players. Maybe we should trade Dame, too. Rather than a Big 4, we can try to assemble our own Small 8. That will show all those foolish super teams. We will mediocre them into submission.

    Cj is a proven scorer and even an above average defender when he wants to be. Why would we trade him? U gotta improve the defense around him.

    When Nurk got here, our d improved. It takes the pressure off the guys outside when they have a little something behind them to help out. A cpl more pieces and I believe this team can be a defensive force. Everyone has to really buy in tho, which they will cuz this core wants to win NOW

    Yep, Nurk getting Nurk gave us a glimpse at our future Big 3. Trading one of those 3 after just 20 games together would be beyond foolish.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I get that Nurkic does a lot for the team, but giving him credit for making the Plumlee trade is probably overkill.

    Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department...

    Either remove the first Nurk or change the getting to being. I meant the former, but it works either way.

    Harkless,Crabbe and all of our picks for Butler is a better trade than what the Bulls got.

    Unlike Dunn and Levine, Hark and Crabbe are actual starters and they would actually get 3 picks instead of only swapping their existing pick.

    But the point for CHI is not about getting better now. Its about getting younger and cheaper. LaVine and Dunn are younger than Crabbe and Harkless and make a combined $19 million a year less.

    All Crabbe and Harkless would do is potentially hurt their lottery odds for the next three years and cost them nearly $90 million in the process.

    For a team that is on Day 1 of their rebuilding process, Crabbe and Harkless have negative value. For a young team that's looking for one or two youngish starters, or that has foolishly traded away all their draft picks and has no other way to acquire talent, perhaps.

    Can we trade Meyers for pickles? The BBQ cart on the 300 lvl with the pulled pork used to have spicy pickles by the register. Not anymore.. And now they charge for extra cheese on ur chips.

    Can we give them Meyers in exchange for a promise to bring the pickles back? Would they even accept? I think they might spit in my food next time for even offering..... What have I done

    Yea, i guess Levine and Dunn are like 2 years younger and cheaper so that part makes a bit of sense.
    You could also look at Crabbe and Harkless as better assets imo.

    Why are the Bulls keeping Wade and Rondo if tanking is so important?
    I think we should not guess the Bulls' train of thought here, mainly because it doesn't exist.
