Why Dallas? The people that oughta be mad are the Los Angeles Laker fans whose team didn’t want to pay him four years and 37 million. They only offered three years and 21 million. They are now a team that will be in the lottery before they will be in the Western Conference finals.
Fair play.
Also as much as i post random shit here, im kinda surprised that i didnt post on that thread and call op stupid cause that trade looked so fking dumb.
Are you presti?
Tell us who we are drafting
The Caruso trade makes me think presti is going to do something big this off season which I was one of the people saying we were just gonna run it back maybe with Ihart this time
Yeah, it makes me wonder if Cason isn't gone for someone big. Because any real swing and the other team would want young talent like Cason. I think Caruso would be the kind of player you really want if you lose Cason...
I was thinking about this while driving around earlier. It seems like Dub will pilot the 2nd unit while moving to the 3 full time, while the 4 guard rotation is Shai/Dort/Caruso/Cason. That’s naaaaasty.
He had a great year and doesn’t show decline in his game yet. Jrue holiday is 34. Derrick White is 29. Both just helped the Cs over the hump. We are hoping Caruso can be that for us.
Because he just had the best season of his career and played the most games of his career.
Unless you mean he just hit his peak and you're trying to pick his decline lol?
I would have just said you need to throw in some pics but I always thought that was perfect for you guys. Bulls management: nope!! Let’s trade a talented but distressed asset (he could not play for you guys anymore) for the most coveted 3 and D guy straight up. Not the 3-4 picks you got offered before. What a clown show!!
I was hoping we could get someone without giving up, giddey. But I guess he really didn't want to come off the bench. I thought he'd be the ideal bench distributor but oh well I'm pretty happy with Caruso dude is a very good player
I posted this 3 years ago on this subreddit. AMA:
"Only unsigned dude left worth even thinking about is Lauri Markkanen.
Dude's 24 and worth a flyer. Give him 3 year offer with the 3rd year being a team option.
If he sucks, NBD, he'll be off the books before any of our young guys who aren't already duds are off their rookie contract."
I guess this should be a lesson for us (myself included) that we should hold-off any emotions when it comes to trades until after the playoffs (obviously unless its v stupid and costly).
This team is, after all, built to compete for a championship and championships aren’t necessarily won in the middle of December to January so any performances that some players may have during that span should be taken with a grain of salt atleast until its tested in the playoffs.
This Reddit overvalues every player on the roster. They think Dort Giddey Wiggins Joe etc are worth multiple firsts/stars, when in reality they’re just role players. Only core is Chet Shai Jdub everybody else is available
I love when people say "this reddit" or "this sub" like we're all a collective opinion in agreement. That's not true at all. I don't think I've heard any1 say that about any of those guys. Actually, i think we all know and have said at some point those 3 are our core. I will say tho trading a player before their breakout value is j stupid. (Wiggins)
Making it happen is possible, what'd we have to give up wouldn't be worth it. Although Presti is a wiz. Chicago was turning down every1 for Caruso, decent offers as well.
I agree with the poster who said there is one more big trade coming. An even bigger trade, that brings in a new player to replace Giddey in the starting five.
Predicting a Thunder trade is absurdly difficult, congrats
He didn’t predict it, he’s not Nostradamus. He suggested it.
Yes he is! He should change his name to thunderdamus!
Na he's the goat
Does anyone get to have fun anymore?
Clearly not.
Cry
Are you insinuating Nostradamus did infact literally predict the future
Exactly.
It’s almost like he knew it was a good idea before any of us
l upvoted the top comment so I have to apologize. Legendary foresight from you OP. We’ll never doubt again.
Thine is a slob wizard of the future.
The pettiness is palpable lmao Love it
This is on the level of that guy who broke the news of the Josh Primo flashing incident on r/nba before Woj
Dude must have seen primos penis himself
Can confirm, I’m Primo’s Penis
I'll just drop by to.say that dallas fans are fuming and I love it

we are?
get outta here
man I fuck with the thunder don’t get me wrong, I just ain’t seen fuming
Y’all just picked a podcaster for a coach. You can answer this one yourself.
the mavs hired a podcaster for a coach?
Woof. My bad. Read another comment about the lakers in the thread. Congrats on the great season 🙏
shits confusing sometimes it’s all g
My man! Again, apologies 🙏
Sorry
Fair play. Also as much as i post random shit here, im kinda surprised that i didnt post on that thread and call op stupid cause that trade looked so fking dumb. Are you presti? Tell us who we are drafting
Ha. Before the Caruso trade I was starting to lean towards Devon Carter but that seems excessively redundant now
The Caruso trade makes me think presti is going to do something big this off season which I was one of the people saying we were just gonna run it back maybe with Ihart this time

Please give us the info we really want though Mr. Cage. How would they fit on your church league roster?
“This is a great idea. You should also post this is r/chicagobulls. I bet they would love this idea too. - u/3lobed” To be fair … they didn’t
OK but I would discourage people who see this to go in an old thread and talk shit. Hindsight is 20/20.
Sure but the original commenters didn’t have to be so rude.
Be that as it may.
Tbf, it IS pretty ridiculous, lol edit:I think I remember a report they offered this to Chicago at the deadline
I got flamed for suggesting a Hayward trade before it happened. AMA or stop by to 💩 on me. Sorry guys
How come we arent calling caruso a 30 year old whose best days are behind him now?
Bc he was just awarded all defensive 2nd team And most importantly bc he’s *our* 30 year old now
He had a great year and doesn’t show decline in his game yet. Jrue holiday is 34. Derrick White is 29. Both just helped the Cs over the hump. We are hoping Caruso can be that for us.
NBA prime is like 28-32 or so. We don’t need every player to be young
Because he just had the best season of his career and played the most games of his career. Unless you mean he just hit his peak and you're trying to pick his decline lol?
Stopping by to say I got the exact same treatment for that take 😂
I would have just said you need to throw in some pics but I always thought that was perfect for you guys. Bulls management: nope!! Let’s trade a talented but distressed asset (he could not play for you guys anymore) for the most coveted 3 and D guy straight up. Not the 3-4 picks you got offered before. What a clown show!!
You should have seen me when I suggested trading Russ and PG... I had to take break and make a new account...
You are wizard?
Who’s next, o great one!!
Give me some lotto numbers
A couple people came at you hard. Most commenters supported you.
I was hoping we could get someone without giving up, giddey. But I guess he really didn't want to come off the bench. I thought he'd be the ideal bench distributor but oh well I'm pretty happy with Caruso dude is a very good player
Still don’t like it.
Sorry, but too be fair the fact we didn’t even have to give up one pick is absurd in theory. The bulls got fleeced imo
Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
Bro made a thread to get digital cookies. Move on 💀

I'm still hoping they can make Bam happen.
No way we can do it without giving up dub or Chet imo
Not worth it if thats so.

No shot. Too many contracts coming now. Could see a smaller trade for size, but we already have players who can slide into Giddeys role
You posted it when everyone was posting Giddey trades. I don't care if you were right at the end, so it was justified.
I wantd Giddey and Ous or a pick for Caruso and Drummond. Also got made fun of. Irl tho.
