Bulls to find Rose's replacement in draft?

Lets see. All Wade had to say to sway Joe Johnson was to say, "Dude, it is Miami". Lets face it, the majority of big FAs went to Miami, Houston, DDallas or San Antonio for a reason and no coijcidence.

Can't wait to see what to see what happens in that case when Vegas gets a team. I love the Bulls and they will always be my favorite team. Las Vegas is my home and it's coming. No state tax and it Vegas will be one hell of a sales pitch for free agents.

Vegas would have to be the worst place on earth for a sports team (no offesne) players would blow their whole salaries at casinos and strip clubs and would always be sluggish every game because they were up all night

im sure its hard to keep players in check in big cities already but Vegas is the land of self indulgence

There is a strong rumor that the Raiders are considering a move to Vegas.

No offense taken but as of today you are not only wrong but ignorantly wrong. This city has changed so much over the years since I have lived here. We get a bad rep and that is understandable but most of you when you come here are confined to a very small portion of the city where most of us locals rarely ever go other than to work. Casinos are located in 30 states in the nation and athletes can easily blow salaries there as well. Strip clubs, well some of the best in the US are found in Atlanta. When it comes to gambling and self indulgence, sure we got it but it is regulated better here than any other place in the world. Gambling is a non-issue anymore. Most organizations have a hard time controlling their players anyway. They are grown ass men and if they can't control themselves they don't deserve the millions they get paid to play a game most of us would play for pennies on the dollar that they do. With fantasy sports, sports gambling is now more acceptable and is the reason its becoming a possibility.

We have had professional teams dangled in front of us before as leverage but this time it is different. We got a guarantee and now the ball is in our court.

We have now warmed up to the idea as a city to the point that even the most conservative radio show can see how a ridiculous 54% (if contemplated even last year locals would laugh at an owner) publicly funded stadium could help the city. Fan base won't even be an issue. Raider Nation is strong here and a cheap trip from either NORCAL or SOCAL. Hockey will immediately follow. We already have 90% of season tickets sold for a pro hockey team that doesn't exist but looking to move in our gorgeous new T-Mobile Arena:

There is also a project led by former UNLV and NBA player (had cup of coffee with the Bulls) Jackie Robinson to build the All Net Arena on the north end of the strip to bring NBA to Vegas. They already had a ground breaking but things have slowed down probably to gauge what is happening with the NFL and NHL.

Believe it or not, it's happening. We as a city are tired of the prejudice and are ready to move up and not be considered a gambling town. Even if the Raiders end up in L.A. instead, the Chargers are already targeting Las Vegas if the Raiders don't.

He definitely comes with a lot of concerns, mainly his desire to be great and competitive spirit, but he would just be too tough to turn down. Just his passing ability, athleticism, and ability to run and start the break is something this team sorely needs. He didn't need a jump shot in college because he was completely dominant inside the paint, but his form isn't terrible. If he puts the time in, he should develop a respectable jumper. I probably would take him over Ingram, but it's close and that could change. I haven't really watched much of either of them, TBH.

LOL what the hell is this based on?

Demetrius Jackson at #14 would be a very solid pick.

I'd give my left nut for either Simmons or Ingram but no way we get them.

Dunn's measurables are really the only thing putting him in the top 5 right now. He's not a great shooter, decision maker, or passer. Doesn't have those elite intangibles. You'd be selecting him purely on potential, and at 22 years old already, how much more is he going to improve? I don't think he's maxed out, but I don't see "star PG" when I watch him.

Yes, Dunn has the measurables. But he also was very productive. 16.4 ppg, 6.2 apg, 2.5 steals per game, 5.3 rebounds per game. Impressive stat line. True, he's not a great shooter, but he's very good at getting to the rim, and very creative. He can be too reckless and needs to cut down a bit on turnovers, but I see his game translating very well to the NBA.

At 14, Kris Dunn won't be around for the Bulls. I expect the Timberwolves to take Dunn at number 5. However there are some interesting point guard prospects in the draft, but some would be expected to be second rounders.

Demetrius Jackson is only 6-1, but recorded the highest vertical jump- 43". I also like Cat Barber and think he's underrated. Really quick, 6-3, although not very strong. But he can score. Dejounte Murray is very talented and young and is 6-5. He plays somewhat like his mentor Jamal Crawford and is also really thin.

And then there's a couple of little guys....Tyler Ulis and Kahlil Felder. Hard to picture the Bulls spending the 14th pick on them, but could see it in the second round. Anyone who saw Felder against Michigan State knows how good he is.

I'm also a believer in Gary Payton ll. Exceptional athlete, great defender (like his dad), just not a great shooter. That might change. Some other guys are more combo guard types, like Isaiah Cousins, Isaiah Whitehead, Julian Jacobs. They're probably second round guys.
