@Abe_OGBullsFan It depends
Duren is a young center. But say he regresses, we would be stuck again with another center that is just middle of the road.
Claxton gives the bull short term flexibility while he evaluates the roster.
Jaylen Brown on reports claiming he thinks he's the smartest person in the room:

Jaylen Brown became the youngest person in American history to lecture at Harvard, collaborated with MIT on the Bridge Program, which focuses on getting Black youth in Boston into STEM, became the youngest elected vice president of the NBA Players Association, speaks fluent Spanish, has a nonprofit called Boston Xchange inspired by Black Wall Street, whose goal is to generate $5 billion in additional generational wealth for marginalized communities, all while becoming Finals MVP. Also, his mother has a Ph.D.

Some mediocre, insecure white people seem to believe that if you’re not mixed with white, you can’t be brilliant. To cope with that belief, they dismiss exceptional Black people as “arrogant” or invent some other negative narrative like affirmative action and DEI to cope better.
Masked protesters fly a banner at the very top of the Empire State Building in New York City reading, “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.”
Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
LaMelo Ball reportedly scared the Timberwolves away during the draft process when he said he wanted to be the President of the United States, per @JonKrawczynski
“So, we know they picked Edwards. But that’s not my little nugget for you all. It’s why they picked Edwards. There were a million different reasons in their evaluation. But one of them was that they had an interview with LaMelo Ball during this process—trying to figure out, ‘Hey, is this the guy for us?’ And LaMelo… did not interview very well. One of the questions they asked him was: ‘Hey LaMelo, after you’re done playing, what do you see yourself doing? What kind of things do you aspire to?’ And LaMelo said: ‘I want to be President of the United States.’”

Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu just secured a combined $184 million. Both their teams traded away All-Stars to make room for re-signing them.
But AKME couldn’t get a first round pick.
That, my friends, is why the Bulls have a new front office.
Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.
