Nikola Mirotic

*Burks isnt an upgrade and he cost more $$$ than Ajinca*

That is how you feel about the two players in question and you are certainly entitled to your opinion as a big time Burks hater, but maybe the pelicans think Burks>ajinca. It ain’t like ajinca is a stud or something right?

Here’s a Chicago article better detailing his contract situation:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sport...-nikola-mirotic-trade-20180108-story,amp.html

The Bulls have made clear to the multiple teams they have talked to regarding Mirotic that they’re seeking a first-round pick with no long-term contracts attached. As previously reported, if the Bulls pick up the team option on Mirotic’s two-year deal, he doesn’t have to agree to a trade.

The perfect scoring forward we've been looking for... better fit with Rubio too

seeking a first-round pick

NOPE. HANG UP THE PHONE. **** THAT.

guys not worth a first round pick. This is the bulls trying to fleece te jazz cos they got bum ****ed on the jimmy butler trade.

NOPE. ****. DONE.

You guys see the tweet from Spencer Checketts?

"Mirotic to the Jazz is real. Not saying it's done, but it's a real possibility. They're talking."

Bah, offer a first round top 20 protected. then top 15, then turns into 2 second rounders. With Mirotic, a healthy Gobert, and a second year Mitchell, that pick two years from now is gonna suck anyway.

The Exum trade talk is silly.

I would be furious if they gave him more than $8 million per year on his next deal (barely more than the cap hold).

The Exum haters should take a look at how Orlando has been operating. Traded away Olidipo 2 years too soon and also didn't pick up the option on Hezonja, who now looks like he might be a decent player. Too many Exum naysayers focusing too much on stats instead of watching his development. I'd rather see the jazz gamble on keeping Exum for 4 more years than lowball him to the point he just takes the QO. That would be a mistake.

We can do better than Mirotic for an expiring and a first.

I think Wiggins might be available sometime, listening to Locke. Might want to keep our powder dry. Also, Lindsey drafts well and we could grab additional picks / assets for Favors. Im also not opposed to tanking a little bit.

All im saying is it depends on the price. Mirotic is a nice player but he doesnt drastically move the needle or anything.

Playing without Rudy we’ve been pretty exposed. However, playing with Rudy, Rubio and Favors will make us marginally better. I’d say subbing that out for Mirotic moves the needle. I get we’re talking longer term, but I think he’s a perfect building block.
