So it seems most likely we don’t go the guard route since we got Giddey and already have 2 other established guards on the team.

This increases the chance we take a wing/center with the #11 pick.

My favorite picks in this order:

Matas Buzelis (I know long shot he falls) Dalton Knecht Tidjane Salun Zach Edey Tristan Da Silva Johnny Furphy Kelel Ware

Flash reaction, what’s the pulse here?

they’re gonna love you in Oklahoma😞

Bulls fans, in your opinion where does Giddey fit into this team? In theory you don’t trade a starter like Caruso who has made All-NBA defensive teams for a 6th man… but does this mean Coby will run the 2 guard? Will Giddey? Does Ayo get pushed to the bench? Let me know your thoughts.

Did anyone listen to yesterdays Bulls Talk pod? It was interesting. KC was basically reiterating continuously that though many people expect them to trade Zach and run it back with DeMar, he expects much more significant change than that from what he’s hearing, and says they’ve been incredibly active already. He also talked about how the Bulls are hoping to not repeat the Vooch mistake with DeRozan and play more hardball.

Now obviously talk is all talk with this FO and we’ll see what they actually do, but this is encouraging to me as KC is the most plugged in Bulls reporter and he’s generally been one to downplay people’s expectations of big changes and moves.

Bulls Mock Off-Season

Goals: My goal for this mock season was to start a rebuild in Chicago. I wanted to offload any players I can outside some untouchables (Ayo & Coby) for draft capital.

Trades: #1 Sent-Alex Caruso Received-PHI 2029 FRP - this pick gives the Bulls the right to the better of PHI/LAC, LAC is protected 1-3 I get a valuable pick for Caruso

#2 Sent- Demar DeRozan Sign and Trade (3 Year/ 105 Million - year 2 and 3 are unguaranteed) Received- 2027 FRP PHI Lottery protected I take on Ben Simmons expiring contract in exchange for a likely late first.

#3 Sent- traded into the TPE created by the Alex Caruso trade Received: Cody Martin, 2030 Lakers SRP I get a decent second to take on Cody's contract. Cody can also play minutes for us.

Signings: Javonte Green- 1 year veteran minimum Patrick Williams- 3 years 50 million Adama Sanogo- 2 year minimum Daniel Theis- 1 year veteran minimum

Brought back the guys I deemed valuable and brought in Theis to run my back-up center.

Draft: Tidjane Salaun- High upside guy for Chicago here and should be able to get some solid minutes off of the bench

Overall, I think I did pretty good given the position the team is in. I played this mock a bit safe, and was unable to find deals for Lonzo, Lavine, and Vuc, but I think I did well.

Full Quote: "The Sacramento Kings are going back to the well with the same trade package they offered Toronto twice for OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. The offer includes Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter and draft pick compensation. They're known to have had calls with Chicago involving Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso.

The Kings would love to keep Malik Monk and will offer him the max they can at four years, $78 million, but they realistically won't be able to match offers from teams like Detroit, Charlotte and Orlando, who are also known to have interest. That, in part, is what makes LaVine more attractive to them at a discounted price after his trade market value hit rock bottom at the deadline."

"Clint Capela is a popular trade target with the Grizzlies, Wizards, Pelicans and Bulls having expressed interest."

These are my top 25 guys that the Bulls should be looking to draft (I included 25 just in case we move down the draft). Feel free to comment on any of the picks and I can give my justification for them

A LOT of shit gets reported in the media that is not true in our sport. I’m 100% it’s the same in every single other sport out there.

That means even though you will see reports out there saying “the Bulls had a lot of offers for Caruso”, doesn’t mean any of them are actually true or transpired in the way we read them.

What actually goes on behind the scenes in elite sports, most of the time, is very different than what the media knows, so do take the reports with a grain of salt.

Sure, it is true we can see Jerry wanting to push for the playoffs and meddling, but remember drama gets people talking; so if they were to report “Jerry told AK to decide, but no good offers were there”, everyone would just go “oh”.
