Yeah with trae young and jeremy lin, I'd agree. There has been talk of the team looking for a schroder move.
Oh, thats why nobody wants him because he is due 15.5 flat each year for the next 3 years. Yikes! Woof!

I wouldn't have minded lin as a backup pg but would want more than 2nd round swaps to absorb his contract.
I agree, and Lin has played very few games the last 2 years. We need a backup pg that will be available more time than not.
I think the bulls will only take short term contract and save cap space for next summer, It doesn't make too much sense to commit 40 million a season to Lavine and Parker.

After Lin was traded to the Hawks, the Kings are now the only team with significant cap space.
Albert Nahmad @AlbertNahmad
Three NBA teams still have the ability to create $10M+ of cap room this summer (without stretching or trading anyone): Bulls ($20.6M), Kings ($19.5M) and Hawks ($10.4M).
I beleive Lin has a trade kicker so ATL may be down to about 9.8 or so.
Oh hells NO!
Not too worried. He's apparently talked to a lot of teams and unless we ZBO him (Another 2/24 deal) he'll just latch onto a playoff team.

Mmmwwwaaaahhahahahah..... you didn't want our money at the beginning of free agency, you didn't want our money in the middle of free agency, you didn't want our money as your options slowly dwindled....well, come get it now!! We will now see just how undesirable our situation truly is.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Restricted free agent forward Jabari Parker and the Chicago Bulls are progressing on a deal, league sources tell ESPN. Discussions over a number to topics still ongoing

Can confirm Bulls are on verge of signing Jabari Parker. As of now, Bulls don't know if Bucks are renouncing him or they'll need to sign him to offer sheet. Either way, it's close.

Bulls are closing on a deal with Jabari Parker, according to sources. Internally, confidence growing it will get done. Bulls see him as SF
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Early plan is to start Jabari Parker at SF and use lineup of Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, Jabari Parker, Lauri Markkanen and Robin Lopez/Wendell Carter Jr.

That's a young upside line up. I guess there are concerns over exactly how good that quintet can become but if they reach their potential that could be the foundation of another strong Bulls team.
Yep if their legs hold up that could be a damn good young team.

BUT HES ONLY A POWER FORWARD NOW (or something)
I'll just assume he's like everyone else and didn't even bother to answer Sacramento's call.

As the old line goes, it's never over until it's over. While all indications point toward Jabari Parker accepting an offer sheet -- most likely for 2 years --from the Bulls, league sources say some other teams are now showing last-minute interest in the 23-yr-old Parker.
Teams? Plural?

That would be a very bad defensive team.

As I reported earlier today, the Sacramento Kings' interest in Jabari Parker is comparable to the Bulls' Told now Kings' and Bulls' offers are almost comparable.

Not saying the Bucks are wrong but it would not be the first time a team has played someone out of position and when he went elsewhere became a better player in a different position (Bjelica this season with the Twolves when Jimmy got hurt was way better as wing than a big). Also Middelton(SG who slid over to SF)/Greek Freak played SF and Parker is not better than either of them (could eventually if he lives up to hype be better than Middelton). I don't think they ever tried to play him much as SF since they ran a lot of two PG line ups with Delly/Brogdan/Bledsoe with Midds/Giannis as the wing/wings and Parker as big with Henson or Zeller or whoever.
Derrick Williams (yes he sucked) to me from watching him on the Kings/Knicks was way better as big SF than a small PF and I think Parker is a much better player obviously.

Vlade has shown no ability to woo an athlete and sell the Kings Future.
Not trying to start something, but it does make me wonder if a luke warm response by Donic is the reason Bagley is a King.

Parker's from Chicago so it's probably not like he's supersold on their vision or anything either.
