Yikes...I thought he might wait until he saw what was still on the board for Philly's next pick.

Now it sounds like either no deal, or the Noel or Butler deal

I'm almost looking forward to trading Dunn just to watch Pork and Duke's reactions! Almost.

That scares me. I'm at the draft party. We've been waiting for Scott Layden to come down and talk to us. The fact that he hasn't come down yet tells me we're still talking with one or more teams about trading Dunn.

If we do a deal for Butler we better not include LaVine. Dunn, Shabazz and Pek for Butler and #14. That's my final offer. It's clear the Bulls have decided to do a full rebuild otherwise they wouldn't be offering up Butler to multiple teams after dealing Rose.

So the Bulls have tipped their hand. We wait until they cave. If they don't cave or some other team offers something better then so be it. We keep Dunn who has a chance to be very very good along with our young core and add Deng or Noah as a FA.

If they don't want Pek and would give us 14 I'd gladly take that. If Pek goes the medical retirement route, wouldn't he be a big trade chip come the trade deadline?

If we give the Bulls their backcourt for the next decade for Butler I'm gonna be disappointed. How can you say we need shooting and then trot out Ricky/Butler/Wiggins next year? Every game is gonna be 90-88 and just terrible to watch.

Where are you hearing this?


Watching The Vertical stream on Yahoo!. What I have learned is that Woj is a God and knows what will happen 20 minutes before anyone else, including the GMs making the decisions.


I can't seem to get that stream to work. Maybe I need some sort of plugin or maybe it's because I'm in Germany. It's 3 am here. I gotta get up and go to work in a few hours. Gonna be a long day!


I had problems with it getting to work on my computer so I went to watch in on my iphone. It could have been my computer its new to me.

Are there even any teams against the cap right now?
