Windhorst on the Bulls: “They are absolutely involved in conversations with the Suns involving a possible Jimmy Butler [trade] … The Bulls and the Suns have talked about the concept of Bradley Beal ending up in Chicago.”

  2. Better be some pretty fucking good compensation to take that contract. What do the Suns even have left to offer? 

  3. Suns fan here. Wouldn’t know why you guys would do this unless it nets at least 2/3 of the 1st we have PLUS a Milwaukee 1st. The draft compensation would need to be big, otherwise makes zero sense imo

  5. Bradley Beal’s no trade clause is the only thing saving us from this disaster.

    Why would I want to bring in an older, more expensive, less talented, less healthy copy of Zach LaVine just for a couple of late 20s picks in different years?

  6. Same song, different tune. There’s no creativity with this team’s personnel management. 

  7. Trading Lavine for Beal would set this franchise back another decade. If you think lavines contract is bad, beals (with a no-trade clause) is absolutely worst.

  8. We can rehab Beals trade value as his deal gets further along while tanking. It’s a good deal for us. The Thunder did a lot of rehabbing value during their rebuild

  9. i think the structure of this where its a four/five team trade with the suns/bulls/heat/bucks/(raptors) does make sense. bulls get a return of 3 FRPs (two suns + 1 bucks) and beal, lavine to bucks, butler to suns, middleton/portis/filler to heat, filler to raptors+picks. torrey craig in the mix somewhere, maybe duarte.

    beals off the books after 2 seasons and would clear a huge amount of cap space, and he doesn’t impact winning as much as lavine so better for a tank.

  11. With beal and without lavine we will keep our pick this year and next year and then have whatever firsts we get in the trade.

  13. So a worse situation for some picks in the late 20s that we’ll probably trade for cash considerations. Sweet

  15. Knowing the Bulls, they’ll probably throw in some future FRPs to make this happen instead of getting some back.

  16. The past 2 years have just been a brutal watch. Don’t know if I can go back to United Center this season

  18. Im not even mad at this as long as we get picks. We’re going to be trash regardless for the next 2-3 years minimum, Beal doesn’t change much. If we’re gonna be bad, let’s be really bad then hope it’s worth it in 5 years.

    This sounds stupid for sure but they’re gonna have to take an L for what they’ve done up to this point in one way or another. Lol

  19. Ima be honest, if we are gonna have to ride out one of these contracts i’d rather have beal and three firsts than lavine and no firsts

  20. The bulls should be getting 4-5 unprotected picks if they are gonna take on the worst contact in the NBA

  22. I think it would be funnier if Jimmy Butler forced his way out of Miami because he doesn’t like playing with Herro…. just to end up on the Bulls again, playing with Josh Giddey

  25. If this actually happens and we don’t get a shit ton of picks in return, I’m cancelling league pass until further notice

  27. If we get a couple of firsts and lose enough games this year to try to get a top 6-7 pick, go for it. I don’t even care anymore. This organization sat on their thumbs for two years straight satisfied with less than mediocre, let assets depreciate and tried to sell us the DURRR CONTINUITY bullshit.

    Blow it the fuck up.

  32. If we lose Zach and get Beal i swear to God Akme don’t do it. Even 2 first is not worth it

  33. Doing this for mid to late 20’s picks is wild. All to get a more expensive, older, more injured player.

    These teams are all desperate for a fit for Beal somewhere. Anyone taking Beal should be able to ask for the moon.

    Bulls really should just trade Vuc and if my some miracle someone who take PWill.

    1000% if they trade Vuc they are keeping their pick. And they aren’t getting much better draft odds no matter what.

  36. Windy’s been saying this for a week, and what he isn’t factoring in is that Beal likely won’t approve this trade. Since he has the no-trade clause, he can basically tell the Suns FO, fuck you, send me to Milwaukee or I’m staying here.

  39. If we trade for fucking Beal without getting multiple first round picks I’m fucking done with this team until this front office is gone

  40. Are they trying to piss of Bulls fans as well? It’s not an expiring contract that can be dumped, they have the same amount of years but Beal makes 7 to 9 mil more per. I legit will boycott this team if they do this trade. no one is this stupid

  41. It will be the most bulls thing to do that it’s crazy but i can see it happening from this awful front office and ownership
