Why in the world would chicago give up the best asset in this trade for a mentor when they have ROLO to do that now. Makes 0 sense for Chicago.

The 14th and the 21st aren't going to get you the 7th pick in a draft that has elite talent to atleast the 7th spot if not the 8th or 9th. Also, I think worse case scenario for Bamba is probably fifth. I think Doncic and Ayton go before him for sure and maybe Bagley or Porter Jr. I suppose someone could fal in love with Jackson or Young, but it would take a small miracle for him to be available at 7.

I agree that the Bulls shouldn't swing that deal. They already have enough young assets that they don't need two more good ones, they should go for one elite one.

With that being the case, you don't move Oubre for 14, he's better than what you're going to get at that spot.

ROLO is not similar to Lauri at all. They are totally different. Marcin Gortat is a true vet, knows what's it's like to be an international player and can connect with Lauri. ROLO doesn't play defense and is clueless.

@godfather also the Bulls want to fill their roster with young guys not just another hit or miss player. The more young guys they have, the easier the rebuild with be. Also ROLO and Marcin are expiring deals and will be easy to deal for more assets at next years deadline.

Tostito, Gortat plays nothing like Markannen either.

Gortat is no similar to Lauri what so ever either. Lauri plays great away from the basket where as Gortat can't do anything with the ball outside the paint. Plus it would be stupid for the Bulls to add another big man to their already crowded rotation with Portis, Markkanen, Vonleh, Lopez, Asik, and Felcio all under contract next season as well.
