Harrison Barnes, eh?

!!!!!!!!!!!

Only part that hurts is trading Barnes since he’s been with us since we were a laughingstock. Wish we could have traded Huerter instead.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Still can’t believe a big time free agent signed with us. This never happens.

Harrison Barnes, eh?

Solid vet who shows up and plays every single night. Best ability in an athlete is availability….Will be a great presence in SA.

But social media said Derozan was going to the Lakers

They got a Bronny and Bronald. They’ll be fine

Dude shows up to 112 degrees outside and a crowd like that on July 6th.

I won’t say Sacramento is a great place or better than others, but it’s different, and I’m glad Demar embraced that.

This Duarte guy the Bulls acquired looks terrible

Why did he seem to have promising rookie season and fall off cliff after?

DeFrozen will score a lot of points but don't count on him when the game is on the line.

In the playoffs his game doesn't elevate. He scores less.

He’s been a top-3 clutch time scorer since they started keeping track of it.

He was god awful last year. Had a role to start the season and played his way to the bench. Then got another shot after Monk and Huerter went down for the season and was throughly outplayed by Keon Ellis.

That may be true on paper. On the floor at 35 it won't get better. I watched him in Toronto and it was clear when we traded him for Leonard it was him holding us back. He's a good player but not a difference maker. You would think the Bulls would want to keep him if he were that good.

The Bulls seem to be rebuilding so winning likely isn’t a priority for them right now.

Barnes waived his 3.7 million trade kicker to facilitate the deal. Always knew he was a genuinely good dude, but this is exceptional. This isn’t LeBron “saving” 3 million that’s just going to Bronny anyway.

I mean the Bulls are still 27m over the cap and paying LaVine 46m per. Not what I would call a rebuild.

They’re still actively trying to dump Lavine.

Ironic considering the Kings signed him as an rfa years ago and the Bulls matched it. If they just would have let him walk they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

They got a high flying entertaining player for what's worth. If Lavine would have went to the Kings maybe it's the kings looking to dump him now. I worry adding Derozan could disrupt what the Kings had going. In Chicago Demar and Zach was a 1a 1b type of situation. I'm not sure how effective DeRozan can be sacrificing touches for Fox and Sabonis.
