OT: Other Sports 74

KC Johnson reporting the bulls intend to pick Florida state small forward Patrick Williams at number 4 provided they don’t move up

 

[Fingers and Toews]

To Bulls Management:

DO NOT PICK LAMELO

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bulls will not issue qualifying offer to kris Dunn. Will become a unrestricted free agent

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bulls let shaq Harrison become a unrestricted free agent

People on radio complaining about the Chapman trade...”In hindsight I would not have made it” “should have traded Russell instead”

are people that stupid?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Chapman solidified Cubs bullpen down stretch that year (Was great) and ended up 2-0 with 4 saves in playoffs

It is idiotic

To me its like people who complain we traded Carlos Lee for Pods + Vizcaino + Hinton. Sure Lee was star for years but without Pods the Sox dont win

He was key piece of 05 team and changing fundamentals of team + Vizcaino was solid arm out of pen

Short term benefit of deal allowed Sox to win title

It was win/win for both sides at end of day

Yes people are especially ones that call in on sports radio

The trade as a whole was successful. But I agree with the argument that the wrong piece was traded (in hindsight)

Who should they have traded instead that NY would have actually taken?


Russell was a big piece to winning the WS as well with his defense. I don’t think they had any other high end prospects at the time that would have gotten the deal done.

 

[Rooh]

For the Bulls pick I like
1. LaMelo
2. Killian
3. Okongwu
4. Haliburton
5. Vassell

Edwards/Avdija/Williams

Considering the Bulls have been tightlipped about their plans, I'm not putting much thought into what KC is saying.

I want nothing to do with the Ball family in Chicago. We just got rid of major dysfunction here with GarPax. Why the f*** would we willingly invite it back via that clusterf*** of a family? Amazing player or not, no thanks to that shitshow.

Who would you have moved then?

Sorry but the championship does not happen without Russell, Schwarber, etc.

Lavar and his family hasn’t been news in years, I honestly can’t even remember the last time I heard something about Lavar. They mellowed out after Lonzo was traded and the middle son went undrafted.

The family is still a shitshow. You think things won't go nuts again if LaMelo were drafted at #1 by the Bulls trading up for him? They still have an active reality TV show that just premiered its 6th season a month ago. Just google LaVar Ball and see what comes up. Lol. They're like the male Kardashians.

Just one example. The very first thing that pops up from just an hour ago.

[clydesdale line]

I would love LaMelo personally. Marketable as hell, great I.Q. for the game, will instantly be one of the best passers in the NBA, etc.

And is the Cubs "dynasty" officially over now?

I was going to post this, but you beat me to it.

He is not even an amazing player worth the headache

He is sub par shooter and his D sucks (If he even bothers to play D most nights)

Using #4 on a guy who played 1 year of college as a bench player who averaged 9.2 pts a game?

I hate the overhyping of "Raw talent" with prospects

Just having to deal with his Dad isn't worth the headache.

It was over when they lost to the Rockies in 2018.
