I'm shocked that Lauri wasn't included... but also kind of happy he's still there for the Mavs.
Given the recent rumors of the Mavs not wanting to lose big-men depth in a potential Dragic trade (ridiculous but okay), I can see them going hard after Lauri since he's supposedly interested in teaming up with Luka+KP
Two bullets dodged (according to KL - I wouldn't have minded Dinwiddie), one to go!

Sounds like an EFBWD* convention!

Young is a nice player, much better than anyone the Mavs are acquiring, so far.
The Bulls will be able to score, might not be able to stop anyone else though.
Great work by the Bulls GM going back to the trade deadline. That's how you land players and make your team relevant. It's a league where you need talent and scorers. Add the scorers, add the shot-creators, and then find a way to figure it out. They have multiple players who can create their own shot and also pass. Like we saw in the playoffs, the teams that had multiple creators and ballhandlers were the ones that made it far.

You may be right as the season unfolds......but the work of the Bulls GM makes me go:

He's a pro's pro. Always dependable and does whatever is needed and does a lot of things well. Coaches love that guy.
I wouldn't do this deal for love, money or fame.

Sounds like they are copying the Mavs

They have more than 2 guys that can dribble a basketball.

They're the ant Mavs. Mavs added defense and shooting. They added playmaking and splash.
I can't say impressed. Making moves doesn't mean they are good. They may make the playoffs as a lower seed but I don't see anything past that. If that. Looks like a bunch of ill fitting pieces that can't defend.
Can’t help but think that if the Mavs made the same exact moves, these comments would be put in a different light.
