The Bulls sell out regardless. They don't need Ball to sell seats. So you would be willing to trade a better asset for a player whose only positive attribute would be something they already are the best at in the league? As far as the draft, it's been fairly well publicized that the draft is top heavy. So I'm not sure where your expectations are anyways getting the 7th. If you want to say you're more worried about the scouting of GarPax, that's fine, but I don't know how you reconcile that by trading the pick for a player who has never played a full season, can't shoot, or get to the free throw line.
I'm not sure they'll have the cap room to sign him due to the Otto Porter trade. Could have sworn I heard on one of the afternoon shows that they don't have the max slot.
I believe this is true. I don't know what a max slot is now a days though.
Max slot is going to be around 30 million.
That's not a very good reason to trade the 7th pick. The Bulls still sell out even when they have shitty seasons. They don't need somebody to put people in the seats. I just don't see what people see in Ball that makes him worth the #7 pick. Now if you tell me the Bulls should trade their 2nd round pick for Ball, I'd be for it. There's nothing that Ball does that the Bulls can't find later in the draft. Not ready to give the #7 for a failed #2 pick.
yeah its probably not smart.
I think it's weird that you preface your comments with the following, as if for a great majority of posters in this forum it's different.
Well they always sell out, or are near close to it, whether or not they come through the gates is another story.
I can understand it, but I also get what you're saying. I'm hoping a lot of it is third party ticket brokers, because **** those guys. But I'd feel bad for a ST holder who couldn't go last minute and couldn't find someone to buy them.
