Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2240506, member: 1026"] Almost feel like someone has to go contrarian on the Bulls pickups. 1. I didn't see a lick of him last year, but are we really sure that Kris Dunn stinks? Isn't it at least possible that he had a tough adjustment year and like most PGs it takes a few years to get up to NBA speed? 2. Lavine is very good, all about health there 3. I like the Finn although I'd have taken someone else he certainly fits multiple positions, shoot 3's well. I think his upside is more poor man's Dirk than rich man's Channing Frye. Celtics: [B]Butler[/B]: So equivalent Bulls trade woulda been Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and #3 for Butler. If Celts are right to stand pat comes down to is Tatum a top-20 NBA player, if so better to stay put and keep building. [B]George[/B]: I don't think its happening, issue is that they'll box themselves out of free agent signings and give up 2-3 starter-types & potential stars to get 1 superstar. I think this all comes down to competing against the likes of the Cavs and Warriors, you can't give up the farm in a trade for one superstar because you need 3. [B]Zinger[/B]: This is toughest one. I think he's so potentially good that I would trade Brown, Smart and #3 for him. I wouldn't add next year's Brooklyn #1 as well, but IF they could have gotten it done or still could with Tatum (or Brookyn's 2018), Brown & Smart (or any combo with Bradley/Crowder for Brown or Smart) then you have to do it. I love Isaiah, but you aren't winning the NBA title with him as your best guy. Hopefully Phil has totally alienated and pissed Porzingis off and the price drops correlated to Phil's declining BBIQ. Stay ready to swoop in when the Knicks are 3-20 to start the season. [/QUOTE]
