Yeah, I don't remember any Bulls rumors for guys they actually got last year. Just seemed like nothing leaked from the Front Office.
Well, thats why if you link the bulls to every trade candidate you’ll get it right!!

I'm pretty much in the same line of thinking as you.

Head-to-head vs. CLE (both teams healthy):

Bulls perimeter O > Cavs (DeRozan and LaVine obvious reason for this)
Bulls perimeter D > Cavs (Ball and Caruso vs. Okoro)
Cavs interior D > Bulls (Mobley and Allen vs. Vuce *ha* and ??)
Cavs interior O > Bulls (Bulls have Vuce and slashers and the Cavs have two bigs who can score and their own slashers)
Cavs rebounding > Bulls (Bulls rely heavily on Vuce and as a team are mid-pack and net+1 while Cavs are +4)

The Bulls biggest advantage over CLE is their perimeter O but the addition of LeVert to go along with Garland helps narrow the gap there. As far as perimeter D, healthy, I give the edge to the Bulls. But Okoro is probably just as good of a lock down defender as Ball or Caruso. He just doesn't offer you anything much on the offensive end.

Taking a very unsophisticated look at it:

PG: Garland/Rondo > Ball/Ayo
SG: LeVert/Okoro < LaVine/Caruso/White/Thomas
SF: Osman/Lauri/Osman < DeRozan/Green/Brown
PF: Mobley/Love/Wade > (committee)/DJJ/Cook
C: Allen > Vucevic/Bradley


Allen over Vuc ? based on what ? not the numbers Vuc just owned that entire frontline a couple of weeks ago . Completely healthy roster and they have no answer for Vuc

It's not so much about Vuce vs. Allen head to head. That's a debate worth having. Vuce is the better offensive player and Allen is the better defensive player. What I was referring to, is that I would take what Cleveland has to fill all 48 minutes at center over what the Bulls have to fill all 48 minutes at center. Allen has Mobley and Love to complement him and Vuce has DJJ and/or Bradley best case scenario.

Seems the Pels are getting McCollum for Hart and draft picks.

He is a player the Pels need when Zion is on the court.

How many games has Zion played this year?

Damn, they hate Jeremy Lamb so much, they traded him twice.
It's actually suppose to be Justin Holiday for the second Jeremy Lamb.
