Kind of sad that the season is already over. I think we had a pretty good year overall and finals. That said I think my Chicago Bulls have a lot of work that needs to be take care of if they want to be competitive on a championship level. I think they may be best suited living their 18th pick in the first round for a potential big who’s good on defense. Maybe pair the 18th pick plus Cobi White for a sold piece.

Don't think he slips but if the bulls can snag mark Williams that would be optimal for them.  Hoping the Knicks actually take him 11th.  He's great on the pick and roll.  Cleans up anything around the rim.  AND he can hit foul shots so you can't just hack the dude.  Wingspan is unreal and is a worker amd great teammate.  Checks all the big man boxes for me.  I hate 7 footers standing 30 feet away from the bucket.  Gimme a 1990s big man any day.

There is some talk that the Bulls may try and trade up.

Indeed they do. The Chicago Bulls went through health problems and their stars have no one to cover for them while they are at rest. What they need is a strong bench that could facilitate in their worst times. Perhaps this season they will be doing more trades to fill that problem in their roster.
If they cannot find a big man then perhaps a quality shooter will do them good. They have DeMar and LaVine covering the mid-range and paint attacks with their athleticism but they have none who can space the floor. Someone who is scary enough to be left in the 3-point line.

How about Nikola Jovic? Versatile with shooting capabilities at 6'10.

Nikola looks pretty legit.  The Bulls have been pretty tight lipped about what they plan on doing.  Basically all we know as of right now..

“We’ve always been ready for what comes our way,’’ Karnisovas said when asked about staying put at No. 18 and simply adding to the current core. “So hopefully we can keep the core together, and like you said, work around the margins. But we’re gonna look at free agents and see what else we need, what do we need to add. We’re gonna be in the draft, picking at 18, we still have Portland’s pick, so we have a couple assets, and we’ll see what happens.’’ https://chicago.suntimes.com/bulls/2022/6/22/23178575/bulls-operating-in-dark-as-the-thursday-nba-draft-nears


Looking forward to tonights draft!

Sotto's odds have improved from 500 to 251, but of course, he has no chance to be the first pick.

personally, I have not followed the players that are in the draft pick now, but soon when they will be in the NBA, we will see if they are really worthy to play with the best teams. So my question here, is it worth to take Banchero for a 1.50 odds? Isn't it overvalued? considering there are plenty of potential players also to be a top pick?

There really are only 3 players in play for the #1 pick, Paulo, chet and Jabari.  With that being said Jabari and Paulo have such high floors and chet is an unknown because of how lanky he is.  I like Jabari with the #1, chet at the 2 spot (okc is real high on him) and Paulo at the 3 spot.  If I was going to bet it that's how I'd lay it in.

I already put my bet for Jabari Smith at 1st pick @2.14 and Paolo Banchero as my 2nd pick @8.00. I wish it will hit. We will never know as sometimes it depends on what a team really needs. Just one of it goes right and I can still make some money.

I think I'm gonna follow your bet, let me tail your bet @danherbias07. I like the odds of Paolo Banchero  to be the 2nd pick, maybe I'll just stick with that one as that 8.00 is quite attractive to pass on. Hopefully our bet will hit, especially the x8.00. Grin

I was looking to place a bet on who the first pick of this year's NBA Draft would be, and I was very sure that the last time(way less than 24 hours ago) I checked the odds on Sportsbet.io, Jabari Smith was offered at around 1.67 to be first pick. However, the odds has reduced significantly to an absurd and not bet-worthy 1.24, could there have been some more insider information released to have such a drastic change or it's just bettor putting in a lot of stake on Jabari smith.

Here is the latest odds update as at time of this post as taken from: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-21-22-60f9572f41ddce1ac040cdfa


Mock drafts of different known websites of basketball analysis might have something to do about the absurd change that you were saying.
I wish we had a copy of the first one to compare it. Yes, it's not worth it at Sportsbet but at Stake.com it might still be profitable.  Grin

I literally just saw the change in odds yet again, I think there's more to this than just the mock drafts or analysis from different sources, my post is just about 6 hours ago, so  I don't think Banchero drop from 3.10 to just 1.50 over analysis, but I guess we'll find out soon enough, I would have been happy If I had put some money on the 3 Odds initially.

Recently Michael Jordan's poor draft decisions have been mentioned in the media.
wasn't aware of those decisions by Jordan, but that confirms that great player does not mean great manager or scout
but, it is easy to say those decision were wrong now, and it is hard to make them when draft is
hopefully, he will improve their decisions with this year draft, but I am doubtfull about that, since he does not have skills obviously

He was a great player but I doubt that anyone will be able to say he is a good owner or scout after the decisions that he took.
Sad to see a legend being questioned by regular people for his decisions.




Damn man! that's a huge list of unluck every season do you really hope he can get something better this year? Nevertheless, it's just part of the game where you don't really know how they will gonna be in the actual NBA game because these new players are really hard to predict when they are a total rookie and only a few have the exception. The last rookie I know who has all the recipes of being a superstar was Williamson but injury got him good. Hope to see his comeback as a competitive and more strong version of himself.

I think that he should also know that the decisions that he took are not really good.
I don't think it is going to be any better later. People are saying that he is the worst NBA owner ever and even though I really don't want to agree with that I have to say I can prove that wrong as well.

Yeah it is, ego sometimes gets to these guys and they think that playing translates into scouting or coaching.  Entirely different skills etc.

With that being said knicks might be resigning big mitch it seems like so a big is out of the question.  I wouldn't mind Malawi from Ohio state.  Kid pouted it on at the end of the year.  Dream scenario is still a trade with the kings for the #4 and get ivey in the rotation.  Doubt that happens though.

As majority owner of the charlotte hornets, I hope Michael Jordan can do himself proud in this year's draft.

If only to offset the catastrophic draft calls he's made over the past decade.

"Michael Jordan is the man who took Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy. He took Kemba (Walker) over Klay (Thompson) and Kawhi (Leonard). Michael took Michael Kidd-Gilchrist over Bradley Beal, Cody Zeller over Giannis (Anteokounmpo), Noah Vonleh over Zach LaVine, Frank Kaminsky over Devin Booker. He even took Malik Monk over Donovan Mitchell.

Anyway, there’s a lot of interesting players on the draft list, honestly I’m hoping for our native player Kai Sotto to get drafted and have the chance to play in NBA, we’re still hoping for this.

Honestly I'm not expecting to much on Kai Sotto on this draft because for seeing his performance on NBL it really didn't give any huge impact to his career because mostly we can see him on bench and his performance is not totally amazing especially if we take it on NBA level. But we do hope that his private workouts from different NBA team works very well because if that one gives different taste and one of the scouts would find him helpful to his team then it will be a huge honor that there is one native Filipino player that can hop on NBA.

I am hoping as well, because if that will happen, he will be the first full blooded Filipino that ever play in the NBA. His ranking is not so good now, but hopefully, there are some good surprises that will happen and he will be drafted. This guy is still very young, he will be able to develop himself overtime because he has the height and the ability to dribble the ball as a big man.

As far as my favorite team is concerned, Dallas Mavericks look like they will focus on getting a big man in this upcoming NBA Draft.

They are expecting that some good big men prospects are still selective since they will have the 26th pick and it's considered late picks as most top prospects are being picked for at least 15 picks. But who knows there will be a rising star at that pick.

I will follow the progress of this. Although every team is now playing small, getting a big man is a good move for me by the Dallas Mavericks as there are already lots of backcourt gunners for this team especially when Tim Hardaway Jr. is now back in action. Maxi Kleber is also not a defensive type even though he's playing 4 or 5.

It looks like the top teams for the draft are going to pick some big guys in the first round. Word is that Jabari Smith will be the no. 1 for Orlando Magic.

....
Can the board still need to approve this or Michael always have the last word here?
This is an internal matter but I think it's a collective decision and not his alone. It's possible that their vote on who to pick is based on the number of their shares so that's the same as saying his decision weigh more than the rest of the board.

Yeah it's either Jabari, chet or Paulo.  All fine players.  Chet has the most risk reward to me.  Does he become Kevin Durant lanky or does he get muscled right out of the NBA.  I'd go with Jabari or Paulo over chet since the floor is so high on those guys.
