Might be the worst nba player to actually get minutes that I’ve ever seen.

Sad thing is, he’s better than Kira and that’s the reason why he is playing lol.

If both are going to be terrible, play the 20 year old to see if he could hopefully get better, not the 30 year that you already know what he is.

I generally agree.

But Kira is sooooo bad, its just tough to put him out there. They've had to put the ball in Temple's hands multiples times with Kira in the game because he couldn't even get the ball across half court.

There is such a thing as forcing a player into a role he isn’t ready for and developing bad habits.

People can say what they want about SVG, but I think he has it right about going slow and earning it with young players.

The league is littered with the bodies of young promising players that were forced into situations they weren’t ready for and got mentally destroyed or developed lifelong bad habits

Kira is someone that I really think would benefit more from sitting and learning and G league play, ideally if we had managed to bring in a true PG he could learn from other than Bled

I feel like this is every year. Last year bledsoe
Before him probably kenrich Williams or Frazier guy
Then Solomon hill
Omer asik
How do we have the worst NBA player in the NBA every single year

wrong again. he traded nothing for Temple, Sato, and a pick.

Lonzo got an offer from the Bulls that we weren't going to match, so he was gone. Instead of him letting him leave for nothing which was going to happen anyways, we got back a few players.

If Griffin wouldn't have initiated a negotiation after Lonzo agreed to terms with the Bulls, Lonzo would still be on the Bulls, and we wouldn't have gotten anything

We're the worst team in basketball so we're going to have players that aren't good. But none of those guys, Sato included, except for maybe Asik at the end, were the worst players in basketball. They aren't good, (although Frazier had a good stretch), but they also aren't the worst. Hill, Kenrich, and Frazier all made rosters after us and played equally bad or worse.

I don't think he's a bad player. At least that's how I felt when I watched him with the Bulls. I think he just doesn't fit here and would work much better on a good team's bench and with a more structured play style.

Yeah, Sato isn't the reason that we're losing. If you look at the last five games, he, Jaxson, and NAW are the only only with a positive cumulative +/-. If the team is winning his minutes, then the problem is elsewhere.

I think that Sato's length bothers opposing guards more than some of you realize.

and he could have gotten more during the deadline but decided to wait for whatever reason knowing he didn’t want him. he also could have done what Morey did and not give in so easily. Make it seem like we would re-sign him. Wait it out to the point Bulls might offer more (a protected 1st) You still have some leverage in these S&T situations. Hell the Spurs got a 1st Thad young, Aminu, and multiple seconds for Derozen. You’re telling me we can’t at least get a protected first for Zo..

Yeah the only people that defend the return for an ascending young RFA must be cucks of similar ilk to Griffin. Griffin had leverage he refused to use. The second the ink dried on that “trade”’, he should have been fired.

Wrong. The Bulls needed a S&T to get him given their other plans. Griffin did a ridiculously terrible job using that leverage.

Sato is playing way out of his role and can cut him some slack, also his size does make a difference, particularly off-ball, but at what cost? We are running him for extended minutes at point.

And you could absolutely argue that would be a bad trade.....

Unfortunately, he absolutely had leverage to get more. The Bulls absolutely could not sign Ball outright. They did not have $20M in cap space. It had to be a s&t, so Ball was absolutely a decent trade piece. He just got bent over a barrel and fricked for the whole league to see.

The fact that he turned around and included a protected 1st for Graham was salt in the wound.
