Bulls deadline thoughts: Don't sweat a quiet day; eyes on Vucevic contract, Westbrook. McGrawDHSports chicagobulls
The best part of a quiet trade deadline is listening to all the complaints about why the general manager didn't pull off the mythical deal that would magically turn the team into a title contender.
Stockpiling first-round picks is trendy in the NBA. Well, the Knicks have three first-rounders next year, according to RealGM.com -- from Dallas, protected 1-10; from Detroit, protected 1-18; and from Washington, protected 1-14. by signing up you agree to our terms of service My idea was going after Charlotte forward Jalen McDaniels. He ended up in Philadelphia for two second-round picks and Svi Mykhailiuk. That's a deal the Bulls should have been able to make, but they have no second-rounders for the next three years. One was forfeited for tampering with Lonzo Ball.
A Vucevic conundrum: The biggest problem with the Bulls right now is they're working on two different planes. DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine are in their prime years, while Patrick Williams, Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu are still in the growing pains phase. That's tough to predict, but consider this: How many centers average more points plus rebounds than Vucevic's 29.3? Answer: Five -- Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Bam Adebayo and Kristaps Porzingis.
So this is a tough one, and we didn't even mention the Bulls having to pay the luxury tax to bring back Vucevic and add some helpful veterans.
