@ReyAlmighty@IMjustEJ@Ball_InMyHand I think you’re too focused on what you think the team should be and not what it is. Matas, Wilson, and Claxton are all above the rim players. This team will be about pace, rebounding and scoring easy baskets.
@IMjustEJ@ReyAlmighty@Ball_InMyHand People refuse to acknowledge that Giddey has become an above average 3P shooter or that his high assist rate creates offense that’s no different than the pts a scorer might get themselves.
@hmdcec1974@_StevenAguirre@Chicago_NFL Didn’t they already have an “excellent option” when they purchased AH. They’re using the same playbook different state.
@ChiRuxinBGO@CollinCorbett This is like a relationship where one person wants monogamy (IL) and the other, an open relationship (Bears). Until the Bears decides they want to be monogamous, which they haven’t done even after acquiring AH, the Bears will never get married.
@kyle34b@McGrawDHSports He probably scouted Kam Jones last yr and his play last season probably validated his assessment. Can’t say the same for taking a flier on a random 2nd rd pick.
@WillDroby@BullsCentralPod It’s also different now with how the salary cap is structured. You can’t just take on players for the sake of doing so. Every spot has implications.
@GuvMorris@BullsCentralPod@BearinVegas OkC roster isn’t full of talent bc of 2nd. I’d actually be surprised if there were any on the roster given how many first round picks they’ve accumulated. And they’ll continue to acquire 1sts bc they can’t pay everyone and will need to trade a lot of good players.
@GooseOnBulls@ByDrewStevens Taking on Claxton while giving up no assets is a smart move. He’ll be a tradeable asset at the deadline whether this yr or next.
@NBACouchside It was widely discussed that this years talent pool was watered down due to how loaded the first round was. Players stayed back bc the next couple of drafts are weaker so they’ll be drafted higher and bc of NIL $.
@Abe_OGBullsFan Giddey isn’t the star BG is building the team around. That’s Matas and Wilson. That would be like Jerry Krause or Jackson talking about Ron Harper. Giddey is an important piece like Harper was but Matas and Wilson are the ones expected to lead the Bulls to a championship.
@GoHuskies1212@Fabio_NovaRocks@PortalBulls It’s actually been widely discussed that bc of NIL lots of CBB players are staying in college which has watered down the player pool.
@dgoldschmidt@PatTheDesigner 🤦🏻♂️ MIN was looking to clear cap space to sign Ayo which they did within hrs of making the trade. They also opened up a spot in the starting lineup for Naz Reid. And…what bad contract? It’s a 2 yr decreasing contract for an experienced starting C. He’s a short term piece.
@Meck0@BigKidGMS110@PatTheDesigner I don’t think people understand what you just said. With the new draft rules, Bulls must be competitive to even sniff the lottery.
@BullsLead@PatTheDesigner@TDevontaT Rebuilding yr? We’re at the beginning of a 3-5 yr rebuild. We have nothing but time. Claxton is a temporary solution, not the solution.
