Trading Caruso for a 30 year old and a late FRP to continue to be a play in team would be the most bulls move ever lol

[@JaiMaurice]

We need Kel'el Ware. Top priority

[@MgBlazer77]

I need young players or draft picks for AC. We can't mess around with our best trade piece.Gotta see all the offers

[@donloder1]

that remonetization is like going back from a suspension for holding a laugh at a player dunking a brick. shout out to the breeze folks.

[@jrmejia01]

Any possible scenario where we can trade Vooch, Carter, pick swaps for Marcus Smart and the 9th pick?

[@leopoldomolina6172]

Would love 2 picks

[@jdh9676]

The Portis/Caruso proposal is interesting🤔

[@MegaLilWade]

Portis not coming back to us lol

[@jomorrison.1801]

Would rather have Gafford!!! AND KEEP CARUSO!!!

[@IOSALive]

Locked On Bulls, Lets make videos together!

[@GETITWETPRO]

I’m keeping AC to recruit more free agents while trading Lavine and or Vuc/extra

[@Rondo2raw257]

Am I delusional for thinking we can trade caruso for #3 and package Vuc with a pick swap for #9 then draft Buzelis and Clingan?

[@SMOOVEOPP]

Caruso for the 3rd pick? Man please smdh

[@Rondo2raw257]

@@SMOOVEOPPyou have no clue how much teams value Caruso huh

[@SMOOVEOPP]

​@@Rondo2raw257why not trade caruso for the 1st pick then 😏

[@kvincarter]

⁠@@SMOOVEOPPbecause ATL needs to rebuild not add a guy like Caruso who’s a “win now” piece and Houston doesn’t need anymore young guys

​@@kvincarterwe cant even trade zach for that 3rd pick both of you sound 12 years old

Pat saying Bobby will bring size down low is wild

[@derrickblakely2626]

Whatever decision the Bulls make, I’m cool with it. I just looking forward to them making some changes to the roster and be finished with it. I really don’t want Caruso traded, but if it happens, then it is what it is.

[@frazier2420able]

they need changes in that front office

[@babyboytheeyeballa5344]

My guys

[@rwchitown5570]

A.C. is from Texas so I can see him being down for it.

Me too

[@brandonmoss5247]

Y'all forgot Vuc?

[@TravisAndrews-lb1kk]

Yes they did

[@popeshaves5310]

AK is gonna knock it out of the park this year...hear me out this draft has two rounds of second round picks and AK can only have draft success in the second round

[@GETITWETPRO]

14:38 then bring Bobby back without trading AC.

[@yaboiz1568]

We got to be careful with this ac trade it could make or break us ac with another player could set us up for a chip

[@flockaveli15]

I know we been starving for a big man but Bobby feels like it’s desperate. Maybe if we didn’t have vooch I’d be all for it. But I guess it ain’t the worst too. Might not be available but I rather have hartenstein or at least a big man more on that tour of trajectory. Low profile but good but in need of a home to show off. Jalen smith would be perfect here to me and should be our focus to bring in

[@jdh9676]

If Caruso goes...wherever he goes...it will take more than the 3rd overall pick. "Trading up" to 3rd in this draft...even if keeping the 11th? We need more coming in. I would expect the 3rd and a future 1st at least. I mean we were asking for two 1st last season. We letting him go for one now? And salary? Idk? I'd say no. Unless Houston has a nice NBA ready young player or two they want to send out with the pick. Not just a prospect, but some high upside proven potential we can use and play. Then MAYBE a deal can get done. We could even discuss sending the 11th to them IF the personnel they send is just as well. Otherwise we can keep AC imo and trade him for a 1st later. If we extend him? His value rises. A 1st and matching contract(s) down the road. But I don't like the idea of an AC "giveaway" basically for a simple 3rd overall in this draft. We need more and can get it.

[@samueldeblaw9677]

your dreaming. there is no deal to be made between Houston and the Bulls. we aren't going to accept your trash for good NBA players and a #3 pick

[@jdh9676]

[@wojciechczarniecki12]

Caruso is a nice piece but two first round picks for him is too much.

[@YKBOOGIEEE]

Y’all trash rn so wtf are you even talking about. That win streak y’all had last season was a fluke, and if we really being serious, then tell the rockets to finally add some solid vets to help them win now..Caruso, could be a good option but I guess you’d rather see them continue banking on their young core as of right now.😪😒

[@7nawt7]

Bring back the Unda Dogg! Bobby P., come on home. I will miss AC, but we need some guys that are nasty. That won’t back down. That will step to you over their teammates. You wanna play 80s basketball? No worries. Let’s gladiate!

[@bminer1220]

After looking at tapes Zach is not that slow on defense. I wouldn’t be mad at drafting Edey especially when we have Vooch for another 2 years

[@LockedOnBulls]

Zach is very slow on defense. Like Vooch slow. He was able to make up spacing on the college level because of the smaller floor

[@ChiTownMade]

I think if it's the rockets, do a sign n trade with caruso, demar & the 11th pick for cam Whitmore or tari eason, the 3rd pick and a 2025 1st If it's the grizzlies do caruso, vuc & the 11th for their pick in this draft, Brandon Clarke and a 2025 1st.

[@KoryHorton-sc7wq]

Vuc to memphis

[@mr.sagittarius_king161]

I’ll buy it when it happens I hate to say it but it’s true This offseason is pivotal for AK he has to nail the draft n he has to nail his trades because another mediocre season n im officially saying that GARPAX is better than AKME n GARPAX sucked in the latter part of their run in particular I hate this being stuck in mediocrity smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@7nawt7]

Zach in Memphis? 😬 They would be at everyone’s throat. Down playing Zach’s ability is a huge mistake. Zach got some rest, got healed. He will be on Demon time. Keeping him is really a good thing, I think Ayo and Coby will only get better as you move vets off the Squad. I will let go of Zach to see the best of Ayo and Coby. I really like Dalen and Phillips. I’m excited to see guy play defense and offense. Zach is not a great defender, but he can get better. Coby took a leap. Let’s go Bulls! Fuck the draft picks. They want a tall slow white boy so bad, my anxiety is high as fuck.

[@juniorgarcia9292]

alex caruso and 2 future second rounders for the 3rd pick????????lmao wow thats never gonna happen NEVER

[@samueldeblaw9677]

one thing you have to remember a trade must work for both teams. none of the other 29 teams are trying to help you at their own demise. Caruso and #11 will not get you #3. WHY would Houston do that dumb sh_t. we already have a minutes crunch and a younng player that is better Caruso at Caruso's position. we don't need him. there is NO DEAL to be made between Houston and the Bulls. keep searching because their are no way you will hoodwink Houston. if you think this draft is so weak then why are you trying to move up? there may not be a sure fire superstar, but prospects better than Caruso can be had on cheaper contracts than him. time for a reality check. wakeup your dreaming

[@LockedOnBulls]

You really should probably research before you get to talking the reason why since you asked is the thoughts on this draft bebg overall weak. It's not hoodwinking you rtwat waffle

[@samueldeblaw9677]

@@LockedOnBulls the garbage you all are proposing will not interest Houston. Chicago is looking for a lifeline to revamp their underperforming injury prone overpaid team, but you won't find relief in Houston. we are not interested in anything on your roster. if you were in touch with the pulse of the Rockets you would know that. perhaps you should do a little research yourself.
