2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[MAVS-SLO]

The Bulls redid their front office in April 2020. Other than hiring a new coach and using their first-round pick, the new team did basically nothing in the 2020 offseason. It wasn't until March of '21, almost a year later, that they made their first major move (the Orlando trade). Now of course, they've almost completely redone their line-up.

If anything, Nico has been more active already than Karnisovas was while settling into the job, and any expectations that he would be taking major swings the moment he walked through the door were always unrealistic. Next off-season, on the other hand, ...

It's hard to say that we were more active than others. It's not Nico's fault but, Suns went i 1 offseason from non play-off team to finals, Hawks to ECF and the Bulls might be the next looking their roster.


And what our FO did in that time?

- Give Harrison Barnes for nothing.
- Give Seth Curry for nothing.
- Waste 2020 draft.
- Give 2021 2 round pick for nothing.

When we look what former FO did our results look incredibly. That results were not results of FO work, but mainly players development (Luka, JB, THJ, DFS).

So with the lack off the assests our coaching stuff and FO need to be very careful. In my opinion priorities should be:

FO:

- JB & DFS extensions. 

Looking our assests, we can't let those 2 guys walk away without replacement (if they don't want to extend).

Coaching:

- Find back KP. 

We give a lot for him. He showed that he can play, but it's hard to imagine that someone could go from all-star level to a player who forgot how to play.

If we do did we're still on the good path.

Porzingis - WCS/Powell - Boban
? - Kleber
Bullock - DFS
THJ - Brown
Luka - JB - Ntilkina

Decide which big to trade. Powell or WCS. 
Decide what with Moses Brown.
Admit that they make mistake with Green.

Gamble on project's that didn't succed in other franchises. Like Ntilkina. Kevin Knox could be interesting.

I'm interested to see what offer we need to make for Marvin Bagley?

Draft well.

PS: Is there an option of opening a new thread about draft prospects and/or scouting reports? It could be nice if we could talk about draft prospects and other interesting (international) players who could be interesting on own thread (not in the trade talk, and draft thread few weeks before draft?).
