2026 NBA draft thread

[Chicagojk]

Wanting to get another top-15 picks as I think it could help us long-term :

P. Williams + #15 for #30 ?

P. Williams + #15 for Gafford ?

P. Williams + #15 for PJ ?

Could get one of the guards at #9 (probably Flemings or Burries) and at #15 a wildcard like Johnson, Steinbach, Carr, Lopez, Ament, Philon.

Yeah that Williams contract is awful and they would have to pay to get off it.   I just don't think they are going to trade #15.  Getting #4 was a lifeline for them.  They have a new GM and are going to re-tool.  I don't believe they need to move off Williams to get in a better salary situation.   Might as well hold him and consider him a sunk cost.  Eventually he will be expiring or come off the books.  Bulls are not going to win anytime soon.
