NYRaider Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) AD on possibly playing for the Bulls. Quote With the Bulls' rebuild in a different place and Davis, who shares the same agent as James, seemingly hellbent on landing in Los Angeles, the moment passed. That's why Davis' short answer rang a little hollow when asked if wearing a Bulls jersey someday would mean anything to him. "I mean, (this is) definitely hometown," he said, "if the opportunity ever presents itself and when that time comes, I'd definitely consider it." "It's basketball in any condition. You find a way to play. Their love for the game is tremendous," Davis said. "No matter if it's hot or freezing cold in the gym or outside it's raining, whatever, any basketball player from Chicago, it means a lot more to us because we are a basketball city. And we are the Mecca of basketball. You can quote me on that." Edited July 21, 2019 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I saw on twitter that the Kings are interested in a potential Blake Griffin trade and would look to package Harrison Barnes, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and picks. Not sure how well it would work defensively but they'd have some talent for sure. Fox - Hield - Ariza - Griffin - Bagley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think we should be the massive favorites until we see how Philadelphia looks, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like how the 76ers roster is constructed and don't see any way that they're beating Milwaukee in a 7 game series tbh. I think Giannis is going to take his game to the next level this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giannis needs to go back to shooting some mid-range again. He's got that shot, he's always had it. He needs to keep the defense honest. However, I don't think a Toronto series happens again. Not with how we're surrounding him with catch and shoot shooters. The additions of Matthews and Korver in that regard are going to be huge.

Meanwhile the West is like 10 teams deep, maybe 11 if the Kings can pry away Blake Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously losing in the ECF sucks but every superstar fell short on the big stage before they were able to get their first title. It's also scary that Giannis was the best player in the league last season and he's just scratching the surface of how good he can be. Middleton needs to step it up this year and play up to that contract. I think Brogdon will be a bigger lose than most realize but Matthews is a solid replacement especially at the price.

Sure, Brogdon is a loss, not downplaying that, but I don't think it's going to make or break us. He simply didn't want to be here anymore and there's really nothing we could've done about it. Getting 3 picks for him was good work by Horst. We can use that 1st at the deadline to land someone of value if we see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
