Chicago Bulls Rumours

15 May 2025 00:52:10
CHA get Coby Ayo Dosunmu, Jalen Smith, Lonzo Ball & #12 + pick swap in 2029

CHI gets: Grant & Mark Williams, Trey Mann and the 4th pick

CHA gets backcourt insurance for LaMelo Ball being injury prone in Ayo, The Ball Brothers will be together (nust see TV) they offload Grant Williams, they still part ways with Mark Williams and add a shooting big in Jalen Smith plus they can still draft a center at pick 12.

Chicago gets a center that matches the timeline of their rebuild in Mark Williams, they can give Tre Mann a good look and they move up to 4 to draft a player to fit alongside Matas Buzelis. Grant Williams can either be a good vet off the bench or can be flipped to a contender later.

27 Mar 2025 17:05:32
MIL gets Patrick Williams, Nikola Vucevic, Lonzo Ball and 4 1st, 3 seconds.

CHI gets Giannis Antetekounmpo/ Thanasis

2025-26 Chicago Bulls

Giddey/ Dosunmu
White/ Huerter
Buzelis/ Terry/
Giannis/ Phillips/ Thanasis
Collins/ Smith.

27 Mar 2025 19:11:12
The players are all neutral to negative value. They'd all need to be positive with upside. Realistically, there's no package the Bulls could offer while remaining competitive.

28 Mar 2025 11:06:47
Buzelis is the start of the convo.

28 Mar 2025 16:19:13
Most teams could outbid that offer.

05 Feb 2025 19:45:02
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Max Strus, Georges Niang and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add two wings with size and duck the tax.
Bulls get a high variable first and some players they can flip for more assets.

02 Feb 2025 21:36:13
Since Bulls offer Coby White Mavs MUST go for him, having more cap space availabel.

Not sure if you should trade a generational player, also if his defense or health issues - train him not trade him.

But at least, take a little Luce in White to have another young guard that can create - when Kyrie is hurt.

BUL Exum, Powerll, 1st, 2nd
DAL Coby White

03 Feb 2025 03:30:51
Mavs don't fleece other teams, they get fleeced.

03 Feb 2025 03:35:09
Make it Hardy instead of Exum and that's a good deal.

03 Feb 2025 08:30:11
Y may asked to add Hardy - moneywise. But ok, take out the 2nd and ask Bulls to send back a second if you add Hardy - fair enough - if Bulls want him, he will get 6m next season is a great guy - if he shows flashed - but it can do it for now only every 5th game - unfortunatelly.

02 Feb 2025 14:36:26
Los Angeles Lakers / Chicago Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers: Nikola Vucević, Jevon Carter.

Chicago Bulls: Gabe Vicent, Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, 1rnd pick

02 Feb 2025 19:39:00
Take out Knecht or the first, and it's probably still too much.

02 Feb 2025 20:04:19
Overvaluing Vooch much? No wag i give Dalton for him.

04 Feb 2025 13:16:28
19/ 10 plus a shooting big is more valuable to lakers than any rookie in their roster.

27 Jan 2025 00:47:53
Giving what they want..

Lakers get Vucevic
Suns get Pat Williams and Milton
Bulls get Hachimura and Nurkic

27 Jan 2025 09:47:46
I am not sure if LAL are giving Hachimura for Vooch. Their other options are either Vando (who is similar to Buzelis so CHI may not want him) or Christie who may be too valuable for LAL given his contract.

31 Jan 2025 04:51:42
Trade nurkic to Knicks Robinson suns clear cap lower taxes, Knicks get good passing center.

24 Jan 2025 23:48:38
Cavs get: Collin Sexton and Dalen Terry
Jazz get: Ayo Dosunmu and Caris LeVert
Bulls get: Georges Niang, Johnny Juzang and two 2nds via Cle ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs bolster their roster by adding a familiar face and a tall, athletic wing.
Jazz unload Sexton in favor of an expiring and a good player with a team friendly contract.
Bulls get a couple solid players and some assets for a possible rebuild.

25 Jan 2025 13:05:37
Looks bad for Chicago.

21 Jan 2025 17:07:59
CHI-MIN-GS

To CHI: Julius Randle, Gary Payton & 1st round pick GS, 2 2nds from MIN

To MIN: Pat Williams, Jonathan Kuminga

To GS: Nikola Vucevic

21 Jan 2025 21:06:30
Holy crap are you overvaluing Vucevic.

20 Jan 2025 08:51:06
1)GS-Memphis-Suns-Rockets
Golden state: K Durant
Memphis: Wiggins
Rockets: Kuminga
Suns: Tate+Payton+K Anderson+Clarke+Kennard+ 1rnd pick GS 25+27+ 1rnd pick Memphis 25+ return first round pick Phoenix 27


2)Suns-Bulls
Bulls: B Beal+ 1rnd pick Memphis and GS 25
Suns: L Ball+Vucevic


=> The Suns can target Giannis antentokounmpo in 26

21 Jan 2025 11:06:50
I get that Rockets are involved for Suns to take their pick back. But from Rockets perspective I do not get why they would want Kuminga that you have to pay this summer, given you have cost controlled Jabari Smith in this position.

18 Jan 2025 15:13:30
Cavs get: Dalen Terry and Torrey Craig
Bulls get: Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Den, '27 Mil)

Why?
Cavs adds size at the wing, a veteran forward, and duck the tax.
Bulls get some assets for a possible rebuild.

10 Jan 2025 12:07:11
Denver:J Butler
Chicago: M Porter Jr
Miami: L Ball+ Dosunmu+Najji+Saric+ 1rnd pick Denver 31( lottery protected)

10 Jan 2025 18:54:26
I like it if Miami doesn't want the Denver package for themselves.

07 Jan 2025 18:37:09
Miami Heat / Chicago Bulls / Golden State Warriors / Phoenix Suns / Detroit Pistons / Denver Nuggets

Miami Heat: Tim Hardaway Jr, Michael Porter Jr., Tobias Harris.

Chicago Bulls: Jusuf Nurkić, Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, Zeke Nnaji, Andrew Wiggins, 1st Warrior, 1st Suns, 2st Nuggets.

Golden State Warriors: Nikola Vucević, Royce O'Neale, Alec Burks.

Phoenix Suns: Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier III, Kevon Looney.

Detroit Pistons: Bradley Beal.

Denver Nuggets: Zach Lavine.

07 Jan 2025 19:24:48
Illegal.

05 Jan 2025 15:33:45
New Orleans - Chicago

New Orleans get Pat Williams & Nikola Vucevic + a highly protected 1st

Chicago get Zion Williamson

05 Jan 2025 15:02:33
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs add wings with size. Williams is a gamble with upside and Terry is young, has great length and an improving shooter. We also duck the tax with this trade.
Bulls dump Williams after signing him to a lucrative deal. They get an expiring, a small contract and some 2nds.

14 Jan 2025 15:12:02
For Cavaliers it does not make sense. A team that good to take such a gamble would require the player to be surefire starter material (idk like wiggins) . Patrick williams theoretically plays defence and shoot 3's. In practice he is Cam Reddish 2.0 (maybe better shooter) .

05 Jan 2025 08:28:36
Heat - j grant, c white, thybulle

White
Herro
Highsmith
Grant
Adebayo

Por - 1st chicago, p will, lonzo (buyout)

Chi - butler

Giddey
Lavine
Butler
Smith
Vooch

03 Jan 2025 10:07:49
What is better for Miami?

PiSTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Brandon Ingram and Tim Hardaway
PELICANS get Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson and Kevin Love

or

PISTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Zach LaVine and 1st round pick from Pistons
BULLS get Ausat Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Simone Fontechio.

03 Jan 2025 15:37:01
Not good.

04 Jan 2025 17:20:05
you smoking crack if you think the Pistons would trade Ausar AND a 1st round pick for a washed Butler.

02 Jan 2025 17:58:48
Miami Heat / Chicago Bulls / Golden State Warriors / Phoenix Suns

Miami Heat: Bradley Beal, Andrew Wiggins, 1st Phoenix Suns.

Chicago Bulls: Jusuf Nurkić / Oso Ighodaro, Ryan Dunn / 1st Warriors.

Golden State Warriors: Nikola Vucević, Royce O'Neale, Alec Burks.

Phoenix Suns: Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier III, Kevon Looney

08 Dec 2024 01:29:13
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Simone Fontecchio, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets) .
Pistons get: Max Strus

Why?
I feel like this trade benefits all sides. Cavs need size at the wing, they address that in this trade.

Chicago dumps Patrick Williams, who just signed a pretty juicy 5-year contract. They also get some good role players and a couple 2nd rounders, and finally, they save some money.

Detroit adds a veteran shooter who played for Bickerstaff.

You could swap Strus for LeVert, but I honestly think LeVert is far more important than Strus. Also, LeVert played for Atkinson when he was in Brooklyn, there is some familiarity there.

11 Dec 2024 16:23:41
Detroit is already overloaded with wings. Simone fits the rotation better.

07 Dec 2024 06:36:08
Lakers - lavine, vooch

Bulls- ayton, russell, christie

Portland- simmons (exp), traore, 1st from lakers, pick swap from lakers, 2 2nds from bulls

Nets- vincent, hachimura, 2 2nds from lakers

05 Dec 2024 13:01:33
Warriors:L Ball
Chi:Melton+ Payton+1rnd pick GS (lottery protected)

06 Dec 2024 00:35:19
Lonzo has no value.

06 Dec 2024 18:43:52
Neither team does this. The Dubs need to keep that pick for other trades. For the Bulls, a lotto protected first has no upside, so it's not worth it for them.

07 Dec 2024 08:35:16
L Ball would be an all star with the Warriors

He can play different positions, he can play offense and defense and he can pass and shoot.

07 Dec 2024 13:15:19
In a perfect world, that would be the case. In reality, Lonzo is the most injury prone player in the entire league.
