    I know people think it's basically Simmons & Ingram, but I'd be really excited to add Hield, Chriss, Dunn, or Murray to my team.
    He's gonna have a big year. Predicting at least an all star nod as long as Taj doesn't smash his face on the 1st day of camp again smh.

    @Poohdini both teams are some of my least favorite in the NBA, you might be forced to ban me from the thread if it's ever made.

    Lmao I wouldn't anyway. Ppl can make their own team threads if they want but a combined one would be kinda pointless unless there was a ton of support for it.

    Regardless I'm a FA this year depending on where Derrick ends up.
    :drose1:
    Jk. But not really.

    Great commercial. I love when athletes are able to poke fun at their f--- ups like DAR did here. Similar to Harden making fun of his defense.

    Lmao you sound like me with D-Wade in 2010. The difference is that I was 14 years old and wouldn't make a b---- move like that if he left today

    Bulls will always be my #1 no matter what, but if they're both playing at the same time it would honestly be hard for me not to watch Rose.

    I feel ya. It'd be hard for me, but I would still be a Heat fan #1. As many ppl could tell, I still love and cheer for LeBron after he left, but that was only when the Heat were removed from the playoffs. I woulda pulled for Miami against Cleveland.

    I would do the same exact thing.

    Rather not think about that though, he wants to retire a Bull so I'm gonna stick with that unless something changes haha.

    Interesting. I have to imagine they'd flip Okafor as soon as Embiid proves he can stay healthy.

    Embiid was just finally cleared for 5 on 5 scrimmages, I like Noel but I wouldn't mind that trade. We have too many big men anyway.

    Yeah Hinkie got the the pieces, now it's time to shape them into a real team.
    See idk about that. They hired his personal strength coach to be the teams strength coach, and from what he said on his podcast with Bill Simmons, they now ask him his opinion on personnel decisions.

    The other side of that is obviously he has more value because he's an all star on a very good contract.

    I think if you make a move, you gotta get rid of both. Jimmy loves it here, but would be open to other places I think. Derrick on the other hand will stay regardless, as long as the $ is right. If you move Derrick to build around Jimmy, you better nail the rebuild, because in a few years time he can leave for nothing.
