Wow. GREAT deals for Bulls. Shooter, can play some 2. RT @MSteinmetzCSN C.J. Watson going to Chicago in a sign-and-trade for 2nd-round pick.

I like this trade. He'll be the backup PG for Rose and he can play some 2.

Not bad...he averaged a little over 10 ppg last season. I like it -- don't love it. Looks like Brewer will be the starting 2, and hopefully we just resign Law to be the backup PG, and Watson can back up both.

i love this trade. props on the bulls FO.

I call this a steal for the Bulls front office. Any word on his contract

Oh snap, we nabbed the poor mans Rondo to backup Rose for a 2nd round pick? That IS a steal. Freaking awesome.

 

[waldo7239117]

This also does not hurt there 2nd round picks as they have tons.

 

[Crystallas]

Screw the 2nd round picks. We got CJ muthafunkin Watson.

Yeah I know..but I'm saying, this doesn't even hurt the Bulls 2nd round next year. 2nd round picks, can still be good, so it's still good to have them.

 

[Crystallas]

Okay, name the best 2nd round pick that the Bulls have ever drafted and played.

Then repeat after me. Screw 2nd round picks. That's like waiting on a total eclipse for us.

CJ Muthafunkin Watson

Damn, I had hope for Randy.

But I'll take it.

I'm not saying the Bulls have ever, but teams have and there were quite a bit steals this year in the draft. But, I would of trade a 2nd round pick for Watson, too, no hesitation at all.

Cool. Good pick-up for the team. :beerbang:

 

[USCChiFan]

I wonder if they'll re-sign Law after this move

 

[Crystallas]

After this, I see no way in hell they would bring Law back. I like Acie, don't get me wrong. At this point, I think some of the coaches and FO have fallen for Lucas, and I can't blame them, because he has a solid 3pt shot and plays the lanes really well. Plus I think Acie wants more than a minimum contract, and I think if a desperate team has the need, they will go after him.

 

[Chi-Town Brahma]

Good questions. Not sure it looks all that promising to me....but ya never know.

Lucas is also 5'11, If Law gets anything more than the minimum, I doubt it'll be a substantial raise

If u can get a solid back up PG or SG for a 2nd rd pick u do that anyday. Nice move.
