CP3 would be the ideal candidate, and he would just get bought out and end up in LAL probably.
obviously
they don’t owe him anything but money
he’s a business man at this point in his career

That's just $10M in salaries.
ONe of their big salaries needs to go for an upgrade.
Not to get Markannan, as he only makes $17 mil this season. They could pretty easily work something for Lauri without giving up one of the bigger contracts.

Bulls have been playing really well as of late and the Lakers have been terrible on the road pretty much all year. No real surprise.

Last night even more annoying watching everyone in the west dropping games given how our own season has gone.

Pretty much half our losses have been by 1 score and more than half of all losses have come after leading by double digits in the second half.

Should be in 2nd place in the west right now just like the Saints should be running away in their shitty division right now. So mid being a NOLA sports fan rn fr

3 teams in the NBA do not have a win by a margin of 3 points or less:

Wizards
Pistons
Pelicans



Pels are 0-4. They also have the least amount of wins, and 2nd most losses.

Addition by subtraction. Bulls - LaVine = Better Bulls

Lot of supposedly "star" players...are "LaVines"

Some think we may have one (or two)

As opportunies go to end this 24-game losing streak and sidestep the infamy of the all-time single-season record of 26, the Detroit Pistons get a good one at home tonight: The Utah Jazz without Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker.

Lakers lose again, could easily see them at 16-17 heading into NYE game.

I just want to point out that after shooting 27 fts against the Pelicans…

Jaren and Ja shot 9 against the Pacers and over half were at the very end of the game

I don’t disagree, but the game was not called the same on our end as it was on theirs. Still shouldn’t have lost, but it was pretty bad.

They aren’t mutually exclusive and to act like the refereeing was even close to acceptable is crazy

Next two games are at OKC and then at home against the Celtics. They are 1-5 since the IST and could easily lose their next two and be in 11th place in the West in a few days.

They were hoping for Poole v Draymond, I guess. Now they don’t even have that.

Trae Young is such a poor defender that I don't think Atlanta is ever going to be a real contender with him. Tyler Herro just abused him three times in a row as the Heat jumped out to a 9-0 lead on Atlanta.

Yep, same goes for Ja, who is arguably worse than Trae.

I get if Trae or Ja goes up against a Lebron that they can't do anything about being out muscled. But otherwise, they have all the athleticism and fast twitchy things they need to be passable on defense. It just comes down to effort and giving a damn.
