i remain flummoxed by this. if the bulls were to trade vooch for gobert, they'd be taking an offense that everyone is screaming doesn't have enough shooting and would take a center who can theoretically shoot and drag someone out to the perimeter to create lanes for zach and demar for a guy who can only shoot 3 inches from the basket and would allow the other team to just camp their shotblockers in the paint.

Gobert will give you more on defense and paint garbage than he'll take away from half-court offense. Plus, it's not like its impossible to have a top-end offense with Gobert, Utah just did it.

Gobert on the bulls would be good assuming Lavine is willing to pass to him.

i mean it's all just rumors. the new bulls' FO is really tight-lipped and a lot of their big moves (except ball, everyone saw that coming) have come out of nowhere, so i regard any bulls rumors as bullshit until they actually happen.

speaking of ball, it would be really cool if ball's knee wasn't completely dead next season.

Am I reading this article correctly?

quote:

Fields had been assistant GM. His promotion becomes official on July 1 and has not been announced by the team. Even so, he discussed his new role on Monday and said team president Travis Schlenk "is still the decision-maker."

Landry Fields is getting promoted soon-ish, the rest of the organization doesn't know, but he went ahead and announced it? lol

Just enjoy the drat title, what I said wasn't even that crazy, just that AT THE TIME, I thought people were getting ahead of themselves thinking the Warriors would win the title. They surprised me. I'm the first person to say so. But Jesus, it's a relatively innocuous YouTube comment.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
like Warriors fans probably have a legit reason to talk their poo poo, as people did think that there was no chance they'd ever be back here.

It's a loving sport fans should talk their poo poo. It's not that big of a deal. It's a loving sport.

So long as it doesn't get into like weird stalking and harassing.

The most fun I had this year was when the Bulls were on that Heater before Injuries murdered them and I was having fun talking hella poo poo about people doubting them.

I'm sure there's a lot of Warriors fans who are absolute jackasses, the complete scum of the Earth. I definitely know a few. But lmao at pointing to YouTube comments as being indicative of anything other than the various mental health disorders that compel one to comment on YouTube. YouTube comments are even worse than Twitter, and about in line with other sites with the -Tube suffix.

I think any team acquiring Rudy can't also rely on him to be the only source of defense. Need to have some capable defenders on the wings for when the game gets small and he can't stay on the floor

San Antonio would probably be the perfect fit in terms of maximizing how much you get out of him in a deep playoff room

I still don't know why he signed with them, he really could've made a lot of money for himself in this upcoming offseason by playing with the Lakers, he would've gotten a similar halo Monk has. Maybe he just wanted to leave the NBA all along.

Bulls have some good perimeter defense options in general, even if you do have to kinda hid Zach somewhat. If they can keep Pat Williams that defense would be amazing, though I think you'd need to include him in a trade.
