NLL Insider - Team by Team: Chicago Bullsby vt, updated on Thursday, September 19 2013, 02:39 pm EST 2012-2013 Finish: 30-52
The Bulls didn’t make too many excellent trades this season, so this minor one will have to suffice. With the team going nowhere and Dunleavy likely a free agency goner, they were able to flip him into some GM points and a 2nd round. And since we all value SOMETHING, ANYTHING in this league over a departing player, Daz’s haul turned out to be pretty decent here.
And it comes to this. After years of hording and seeking first rounders, the Bulls trade their first round pick for Andrea Bargnani?! Sure, they end with NBA first rounder Anthony Bennett, but Bargnani has played in what? 12 games total in the past three years. He also has multiple years on his deal, making a re-trade unlikely. If he finally gets healthy and lives up to his promise this season, then this trade might look better, but this is Bargs we’re talking about. Other Notable Trades – The Charlotte Bobcats send Anthony Bennett to the Chicago Bulls. The Chicago Bulls send Kemba Walker to the Charlotte Bobcats. This is an interesting deal, but are the Bulls still trying to tank? They trade their best player away for an undersized center. Not as horrible as the Bargnani deal, but still confusing, especially since Dazman’s earlier actions made it look like he was planning on winning now and not continuing the Never Ending Rebuilding Tour.
The Bulls ended up with more promising players in Anthony Bennett and Michael Carter-Williams. Both of these guys have the potential for stardom, but like all players in this past draft, where they actually will end up remains to be seen.
Upcoming Free Agents Corey Maggette- Will anyone sign this guy this offseason? Zaza Pachulia and Mickael Pietrus- These guys have either turned 30 or are close to it. The Bulls don’t like players over 25. |
