Is it possible for us to get Jimmy Butler?

The only way we'll have max space (aside from doing something idiotic like attaching a first to lance) is if Jefferson and Henderson both opt out.

I don't see any way Jefferson opts out after that season, and even if he did Chicago will match anything for Butler. It's not going to happen.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nnnnnnnoooooooo

We don't have the cap room to sign a max deal like Hayward last season, and even if the Bulls, who have a history of being sticklers about contracts, let him walk, he'll have too many suitors throwing max money at him.

I'd attach 9 to Lance in a heartbeat. This is not a good draft at all, and the improvement via Lance being out vs. another rookie project would be worth it.

No way. We can just cut him and eat 9 million on our cap for one season if we just have to get rid of him. Attaching a first to him just doesn't make sense when he expires this season.

Why? It's moronic to attach a top 10 pick to get rid of a one year contract. Expecially one that isn't even in double figures. Lance is arguably the key to the 2015-16 season. If he can get back to shooting over 30% and can cut down his T/O rate, we are back in the playoffs.

It depends on what we get back. You act like the best we could get would be a second rounder in 2050.

If we have an opportunity to upgrade the roster past another underwhelming rookie project we should do it.

I think you take lance off the team this year completely and we still sneak in as an 8 seed. He really was that bad.

      I know it was obvious and I know the ref is to blame! But KB is a bum and my original post was about the situation in its entirety. You are right, he did touch him and that's why I said lay down on him to make it obvious. But KB did everything half assed and that is why he had less than a five year career. But the way Cam supported that kid and the way he ended up acting in the end is a dark spot on the franchise. It just doesn't sit well with me and never will. He literally left here talking about ball placement from a league MVP.

      The Lee Hunter interview with Sheena Quick almost murdered me. That man said he had a 5 years old and a 2 munt year old!! 😂 and all of a sudden I couldn’t breathe!!

      DLine has to be 50-79 or 90-99. So it’s likely to stay 92 over 62 or 52. Scourton and Phillips can wear a poo ton of numbers as “linebackers”, but the war daddy’s are still pretty limited.
