If he's really willing to just sign for the minimum, why not just go to the TWolves then if he'll just be a backup PG... At least in there he might be already familiar with the system since Thibs is at the helm.

Most likely scenario of Okafor being traded to the Bulls involves a three-team trade or the Bulls giving up 1st round picks.

i agree with this. player wise maybe Niko would mildly interest them... along with a 1st round pick

okafor would be a decent buy low candidate though

agreed again. what is his alleged asking price?

I haven't heard any specifics, but I dare say it was considerably more than settling for the minimum. Of course, tough to get anything like that when your skillset hasn't adapted to the new three-point heavy NBA game, and you're coming off yet another knee injury.

It'd be great if they could pick up Noel with what they've got left to offer. It doesn't seem like the Mavericks, or anyone for that matter, is rushing to sign him. With that in mind his leverage is slipping away as well, though the Mavs would be able to match any offer as he's an RFA.

i dont think noel had/has any leverage... similar to the Niko situation. if there was another team willing to offer what they (or agent?) is asking for, a deal would be done

how much would you be willing to offer per yer to Noel and how many years??

Probably something in the $8-10 million range, for a couple of years.

Sign Nerlens at 10+ per year for 4 years. He's only 22, suits right in for Bulls youth movement. I'd much rather have Noel than Mirotic. Unload Lopez and Mirotic, and we'd have nice Markkenen, Nerlens, Portis rotation with balance in shooting, offense, defense, and length. Ofc tho, I don't count on Garpax neither to make anything positive like this to happen. The Bulls have been the biggest losers in the summer league with Payne, Dunn, Markkenen, and Valentine all under-achieving. The Bulls also are playing out to be the losers in offseason movement(or non). Dayuum...

I'd say Noel's a better investment at that price. It could be a decent rotation in the middle, if it comes to pass.

No question, I'd take Noel over Mirotic as well.

IMO Dallas would match a $10 mil per year contract. Given his status as a 22yr old with untapped potential (and risk) and RFA, my guess is the contact offer Has to be an overpay in order for Dallas not too match

Of course the bulls are losers though don't mistake non movement for mediocrity. The cavs are having a worse off season

it was wades choice to stay so we dont need to feel bad for the guy

I don't.

It's probably a matter of time, he'll either be traded or bought out. It'd be very nice to see him playing meaningful minutes next season. My wish is for the Warriors, lol.



i agreed with everything and then you said the warriors and i broke my monitor. damn it all

Lol that was random. Wonder how long it took for him to get traded after that interview

Good ol Eddie "e-robbery" Robinson still has an axe to grind with Pax. He has some choice comments in an interview on the Chicago trib. Lol still has a beef about the headband rule

Still a punk in my book. Should be grateful he got that fat contact from the bulls

That was coming up to the trade deadline in 1984. He was then traded to the Kansas City Kings for Steve Johnson at the deadline.

The Bulls continued to flounder and finished the season 27-55, which landed them the third pick of the Draft. That in turned landed them Michael Jordan, which obviously turned out pretty well. Unfortunately, the dysfunction never went away.

Hey, it makes me appreciate those teams even more, hearing about the kind of dysfunction they rose above! Even dysfunctional organisations win championships.

Reggie Theus also ended up doing the commentary for NBA Live 2000 back in the day, though as Lutz put it at the time, he must've had a plane to catch when he was recording his part.

I will always remember Reggie Theus who supposedly banged so many Bulls groupies, one of them ended up as Michael Jordan's ex-wife. Theus is still no match for Magic Johnson's mansion orgies tho.

I'd imagine AC going room to room preaching before the orgies start then leave for home after he's done the good Lord's work.

Lost amongst the off season F grades the bulls are receiving, they still maintain their leverage over Niko

Again id very much would like them to get Noel but Cuban would easily match anything under $15mil per. Bulls would have to offer a hard away type overpay to land him IMO. Not worth it

Too bad Dallas wouldnt be interested in Niko

And just to make Moz happy I think the bulls should low ball offer for okafor. Why not? He may not even be the backup for embeast

Credit where it's due for not overpaying Niko, I really thought that they would. Still time I guess, but it does seem like they understand the situation, and that they don't have to bid against themselves.

I am guessing Niko's deluded and asking too much. Market's crazy but market demand for Niko should be fairly low considering how he inconsistently performed since coming into league and how little development window has left considering his age of 26.

Only reason the Bulls really want him is probably because he's hit most the 3s last year? Tanking team wouldn't need that imho and he's not much of asset unless re-signed at bargain deal.

Possibly his agent wants more $ though I do think him being a free agent this year instead of last year is playing a part

The reports of him still working out at the bulls camp and skipping to play for his national team (1st time to do this)...sounds like he wants to resign

I don't think management cares either way as he doesn't move the tanking needle significantly

My guess they'll be content on giving him the QO
