[Raskolnikov]

Some guys can’t handle the grind.

That's a good deal for the Bulls...

Hey we got a 1st for Lauri. Guess he wasn't just a sack of potatoes

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

That is an amazing deal for the Bulls

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Do bulls have 2 firsts next year then?

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

If I'm not mistaken Zach and Coby are the only holdovers left on this roster. Took 16 months.

Depends on the protections of the Portland pick.

Hopefully Portland keeps Damian this year because they should still be solid then and get us that pick

 

[Discus fish salesman]

Looking forward to Williams shutting down Lauri going forward.

I'd take that No. 16-20ish pick in 2022. That's a good tradeoff.

Bench depth at guard/SF is solid.

Yeah I'd expect another vet minimum big guy signed. I'd probably be cool with like a Paul Millsap for a year or so

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I'm reading that the Portland 1st Round pick is lottery protected through 2028.

 

[MassHavoc]

I was just going to say that, really needed to get some picks back after the recent trades that everyone got a pick for just showing interest. Really interested like others to see what the final rundown of the 1st ends up being.

EDIT: nevermind, just read it. The Blazers' first-round pick in 2022 is protected pick Nos. 1-14 through 2028, when it would become a second-round pick if not previously conveyed to Chicago.
Crossing fingers for that 15 spot.

How the bleep did we get a 1st.

 

[Enasic]

Great trade way to stay patient AK

Bulls in theory will have 2 1sts next year.

Other teams must've been seeing @Raskolnikov hype lauri and bought it!

 

[Scoot26]

POR 1st rounder is lotto protected. Portland has been a consistent playoff team for years with Dame, so it'll probably convert in 2022.

 

[KBIB]

Not a bad get for Lauri.

Jones can play some defense, that first rounder is draft capital. I would be shocked if the Bulls had it after the trade deadline.

Still need a couple more players with very little room tho. Glad they took the expiring contract instead of the better player.

Is Coby next? Does he still have a future con this team?
