Y'all remember when Villanova made a run in the NCAA tourney running a 4-guard lineup?

Well, we're about outdo them with a 5-guard lineup.

There are some rumors that the Bulls wanted players, and not picks from the Celtics. If that is true, doesn't that just tell the fucking world you have no faith in what you can do scouting wise?

I mean logically, it makes sense to want players and​ picks for a guy like Butler. But players and not picks? That's just :turrible:

if you're not keeping record we've essentially we gave up LMA+Taj+1st+4 2nd rounders for Payne

LMA traded for Tyrus Thomas
Tyrus Thomas for Bobcats 1st
Bobcats 1st + Bulls 1st + 2 2nds from Deng trade + Bulls 2nd for Doug McDermott
Doug McDermott + Taj Gibson + 2nd for Cameron Payne + Anthony Marrow

i guess Stacey has a new catch line though "Bring the PAYNE" that will be funny for the wrong reasons

They don't want draft picks. They want players.

I have either forgotten what we gave up for McDermott or never knew (likely the former), holy crap, what a joke of an overpay for a guy that was never going to be anything more than a poor-man's Kyle Korver.

Fuck you GarPax, over and again.

Well...all optimism out the window. Can we blow this up yet?

Whats the PG depth chart?

1. MCW
2. Payne
3. Grant
4. Rondo
5. Valentine

We already had a log jam with MCW and Valentine. Now we add a similar level player at same position? Unreal fuck ups. Gibson should have brought something. McBuckets should have brought something.

We get Cameron Payne.

And we go to sleep with Rondo on the team. who is a negative, and should just be cut. This was dumb and will be the end of them. You shouldn't be trading Taj last second with the year he had. You shouldn't be just dumping guys because all of a sudden you are finally willing to.

As bad of a shooting team as we are that trade made us a worse shooting team.

No fucking vision up top.

Wow. I was depressed but the truth of that statement fell my crest further.

just hit me that we traded the last man standing of the Rose era

while the trade has been a long time coming, i wish we actually got something for him. seems like they just said fuck it and threw him in the deal because they had a boner for Payne....Taj was a great Bull and one i still appreciated.

Just read a report that said 8 teams were trying to trade for Taj Gibson...

8 teams competing with each other to get Taj and that's the deal we went with?

I'm still just glad Taj got off this garbage team and onto a real team that has a chance at a playoff run. He was wasting away here.

I have been ignoring the NBA/Bulls for most the season. The Bulls must really like this Cameron Payne kid, who is under control for the longest period. This trade will hinge on if Payne develops into a starting PG. Which leads me to the real crux of this move. Payne should be starting the rest of the year. To make this move and sit him is nonsensical. They gave up picks and players who have value in a trade for Payne. He needs playing time to see what he can do.

If he just sits, this year and never gets playing time; that will show the front office and HC are on completely different wave lengths.

I don't know much about Payne, outside of what I have seen of his stats. Looks like shooting is not his strong suit. Not sure how that helps this team. Seems like at best he might have a similar skill set to Rondo..........Ugh.
