Hated losing him when he played for the best team, the Lakers.....

Totally understandable. I won't be surprised if a team offers him something nice.

That would be a good addition for them.

Yep. He’s a winner. At the same time, cost makes a difference. Once we get to 15 million a year I want Melton back. He’s younger and he and Maxey are already comfortable playing together.

He has better upside but he’s about to get paid. I personally think a team is investing in a guy who can fill a stat sheet but not really a guy you can win with. I can’t see anyway he develops into a two way player. He would need to have huge offensive impact to make him a winning player. The guys like him who have fit this profile have been plus defenders like Draymond and Simmons. I’d rather take the extra picks and use them to take my pick in two drafts and use the mid to late pick to trade up. OKC gets it. They saw him this year and in the playoffs and they know this was the best time to shed that asset. People will say “good player but not a great fit.” That’s because OKC is building around a core with guys who can shoot, defend, and pass. Giddey can pass. He’s subpar in the other 2 realms.

Modern basketball = you need guys who can shoot, pass, and defend to win big. This is winning basketball. Bulls are gonna Bulls. They’re signing up to invest in a piece that even if he hits an upside isn’t going to be a playoff style winner in the NBA.

i agree.

the contract part is a problem.

but the bulls lead the league in attendance despite making the play-in

and they're just acting like it...

I want Murray if we make a splash.

If not, I do not know what to do in this draft at 17. It's a real quagmire.

idk how you get murray without 17 unless atlanta is just full on stupid.

Your choice but KCP is better IMO and he has shown he can acclimate anywhere.

Oh, I know.....I meant if we do not get Murray I don't know what we would do if we had to keep it and use it on a player.

2 different scenarios.

Got it

I mean this draft is gonna have a weird slider

Seems like holland and collier and prime bets

Me?

I think Christie’s bro might be the best player on my board by that pick

Maybe you take holmes to play next to brow

Not sure if you go older since your guy proved he’ll take projects last year

Lakers in such an intersting spot

Does Lebron want rings or is he happy to collect checks and make space jam 3?

Hoping we get Murray and some veterans on the minimum.

I like the guy a bunch. He’s 31 though. I take him for the midlevel range. If it costs me more than that I want to go with the much younger player.
