    I’d rather get a player that gets some coaching with the #1 pick but he has a lot of raw talent

    As a Bulls fan, this would make my day. As a Mizzou fan, Id never want him to go to such a terribly run organization.

    It wasn't a cheap shot

    They were both mouthing several trips up and down the floor, there was a shoving match, Mirotic came up to him again and Bobby ended it.

    Basically what would happen if you and I ever played hoops together.

    Tank watch, Bulls sit with the 2nd worst record. Truman is Porter hurt or in trouble?

    Great job by GarPax in trying to tank have taken the Bulls from NBA purgatory to NBA purgatory. They can't even tank right.

    If it did last it would mean they would have some value to trade away in Nico, Lopez, etc. Just hope it that comes in time to get in good shape for the top 4 picks.

    Big stretch coming up with games against Dallas and Memphis in 2 of the next 3. How about 35 minutes for Cam Payne?

    He's projected somewhere in the 3-5 range now but I certainly think it's possible. It's a really strong draft up top and I'll bet you right now Porter goes above him. Trae Young is a wild card too.

    I'd be happy with any of the following:

    Ayton
    Bagley
    Doncic
    Bamba
    Porter
    Young
    Jackson

    Which means Garpax will take Carter or Bridges.

    He's been consistently listed in the top 3-4 in most mocks Ive seen, so doubtful.

    Feels like there's a significant drop after Ayton, Donic, Bamba, Bagley and Jackson. I want no part of Trae Young or Collin Sexton. Porter could be a huge steal, but he's also an obvious gamble for health reasons.

    After that Id be cool w trading back a few spots. Carter, Bridges, ect dont really move the needle for me @ 7

    Curious if we would package our 1.22 with 1.7 and move up a few slots.

    Like to see us throw a package together for KAT that doesn’t involve Lavine or Lauri.

    I agree but moving forward with a core of Zach, Lauri, and KAT would be pretty nice.

    No way Minny takes back Dunn in a trade for KAT tho.

    I think Lavine is the 3rd or 4th best player on a Championship team, but he thinks he's the first best which is dangerous

    What’s a realistic package for KAT?

    Lauri, 1.7, next years 1 (top 5 protected)?

    We are in no position to trade for KAT...

    Need a few more tank years and need to land top 3-5 picks

    So who do people want tomorrow? My ideal situation would be a trade up that nets Bagley or Doncic. If they stay at 7 I hope its MPJ

    IM ok w MPJ @ 7. High risk, high reward. Plus there's talks of him sitting out this year to get healthy. Amass another high pick.

    Although if Carter is there, I think you have to take him. If all those guys are gone, no thanks on the PGs. trade back

    I think Carter can be a really good big. I dont think he's a superstar.

    Right, but the Bulls don't need a really good big. They need a superstar. Pax is great at finding really good players, and its got the Bulls what, 4 playoff series wins in 15 years.

    Outside of a Donovan Mitchell sleeper Bulls are picking just outside what's available in that category. Gotta pick someone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This would be my top 10 for the draft... MPJ would be higher if I knew more on his health. Is he a broken down body or the prospect he was in high school.

    1) Luka Donic
    2) Trae Young
    3) Jaren Jackson Jr.
    4) DeAndre Ayton
    5) Mohamed Bamba
    6) Mikal Bridges
    7) Marvin Bagley III
    8) Wendell Carter
    9) Miles Bridges
    10) Michael Porter Jr.

    I would be happy with any of those guys. I believe all those guys are NBA starters and some could be high impact guys.

    Shake Milton is a guy I like with our other 1st round selection.

    Kevin Knox handled Miles Bridges in draft workouts, by the way.

    I have some hesitation on how big men in this league really can dominate like in years past. The league has transformed to the point I’ll take a wing over a big.

    Knox and a couple others have had amazing workouts and are shooting up the draft boards. I haven’t seen them personally but I have watched Knox in games and I prefer Bridges.

    Workouts and in game can be different animals so I don’t mind if people are reading the reports and jumping Knox above based on them.
