    We can't trade certain guys until January anyway. It's all just idle speculation right now. I'd like to see the whole team together for a few weeks, before contemplating any trades too. Hopefully Cam, Rui and Jarred all make it back on the court sometime next week. I have no idea on Gabe's timetable.

    Who stuck LeBron's name toward the top? He never gets into altercations with anyone let alone his BFF. Except for that enraged bull Stewart last year. :rofl: And that wasn't James coming after him in kind.

    I never said anything about 2 picks for Eagle and don’t expect the Bulls will get that or even expect to get that. That’s all for clicks and posturing. I also didn’t say that Drummond was a locker problem. I do think Drummond expected a certain amount of touches here the first time around and to play a certain amount of minutes that he didn’t earn IMO. That’s what I meant by my pecking order comment.

    I said earlier that no team was jumping at getting LaVine and the Bulls were going to be sorely mistaken. He’s big money for little results.

    That guy played 21 games here, and avg 12pts, 10 rebs, a blk and a steal in 24mins. We would be ecstatic with that level of production right now. He wasn't that good in that drop coverage scheme tho.

    He also had butterfingers, loafed back on defense sometimes. Stats don’t tell the whole story.

    24 minutes is 24 minutes Cookie. Those numbers can't just be brushed off that easily. He was productive in the minutes he played here.

    It not any different than guys that looked so so here, but are playing well elsewhere , it depends on how you are used IMO.

    Might sit out the old man, in order to be fully rested for the tournament game?

    that altercation with stewart still kills me. the way he was walking off the court and pretending like he was calm and then bam, next thing you know he's breaking tackles at midcourt. i think even lebron was shook at how crazy he got

    then you had westbrick squaring up like a boxer from the 1800s. just hilarious all around

    I remember people LOL'ing at me 1 year ago when I said we should consider trading injured AD for Haliburton + picks.

    not so funny now when he's averaging 27ppg, shooting 45% from 3pts on 9 attempts and leading the league in assists.

    the kid's trajectory is best PG in the league

    Was never a realistic option. Pacers are a young team that are building for the future. AD at the time was approaching 30 with a substantial injury history. His only value would be only to teams trying to win now. Haliburton was a 22 year old budding superstar. No way Pacers would trade him and picks for AD even a year ago.
