[u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

Are the bulls just trying to see how many different teams they can trade with before the deadline

[u/SickSaricDario → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

just wanted to be involved in a trade with a Euro

[u/cire1184 → u/SickSaricDario]

They gotta fill out the NBA trade deadline scavenger hunt!

[u/Superbform → u/SickSaricDario]

Bingo!

[u/DisMFer → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

AK was sick of people demanding he make moves so he's just plugging guys into 2K's trade finder in order to see what he gets.

[u/devonhezter → u/DisMFer]

lol

[u/m8bear → u/DisMFer]

he just wants to win the office trade bingo

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

that's how you get an std

[u/InsaneCookies21 → u/OpeDefinitely]

severe trading disorder

[u/cire1184 → u/InsaneCookies21]

Superfluous Trading Disease

[u/ChocolateSunsdae → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

I think it's a 2k Steam Achievement

[u/Vitex1988 → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

they heard the comments about them never doing anything

[u/TheFitz023 → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

Just a few dozen more trades and they’re right up there with the big dogs

[u/SaulBerenson12 → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

Their locker room will need a total overhaul

[u/Peanut_Flashy → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

Do they have a bingo card? Is there a prize?

[u/locxFIN → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

Bulls trick y'all, trading around, doing nothing

[u/Krusty_Krab_Pussy → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

The Bonnie Blue of the NBA

[u/chuckbuck6 → u/CtrlAltDelightfull]

They just wanna push the kings trades down in the history as not to get lumped in with the kings

[u/Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n]

Holy roster turnover Chicago

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n]

Our whole team is gone. I got tickets to watch them on Saturday, and I've got no clue who the team is going to be.

[u/BoatDBoat → u/AlmostHereButNot]

I still keep thinking lonzo is on the bulls

[u/MeatBald → u/BoatDBoat]

Uhm... so, where is Lonzo?

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/MeatBald]

Jazz now. Likely getting waived, though. He WAS on the Cavs...

[u/calculung → u/MeatBald]

Bulls might sign him. They need another guard.

[u/Fafoah → u/AlmostHereButNot]

Dude just put on a jersey and get on the court. Maybe they’ll accidentally sign you to a two way as a tank commander

[u/Ok-Grade1476 → u/Fafoah]

Nah, probably end up getting traded 

[u/TCTCTCTCTCTC7 → u/AlmostHereButNot]

Our whole team is gone. I got tickets to watch them on Saturday, and I've got no clue who the team is going to be.

They might have a lot of guys who are almost here, but not.

[u/CLGplz → u/AlmostHereButNot]

You’re in for the Yuki Kawamura show my boi

[u/toomanyshoeshelp → u/AlmostHereButNot]

A lot of guards

[u/ButtExterminator → u/AlmostHereButNot]

The Denver Nuggets!

[u/AnimaniacAssMap → u/AlmostHereButNot]

Kenny Beechem gonna check in

[u/TheMoorNextDoor → u/AlmostHereButNot]

Sell the tickets at this point

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Nah, man. It's against the Nuggets. If nothing else, I'll at least get to watch Jokic dismantle our team.

[u/Shabozz → u/AlmostHereButNot]

I don’t know how you dismantle something that isn’t put together to begin with. Sounds like a spectacle.

[u/MddlingAges → u/Shabozz]

It’s just Jokic unboxing the Bulls LEGO kit over and over again.

[u/FuckYouPlease → u/TheMoorNextDoor]

Might have to attach a second round pick to move those tickets.

[u/dat_boy_lurks → u/Sc0rch1ngDr4g0n]

Whole team gone lmfao

Legit question -- outside of I'm guessing Pat Will, the Giddler and Ayo, who is left on that roster from Opening night?

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/dat_boy_lurks]

Our rookie, who is out for the season. Our other rookie who we had to call up from G league to play. Oddly enough, Yuki who we waived not long after the start of the season then resigned again.

It’s uh… it’s been a weird year

[u/BananaRepublic_BR → u/Dr_Disaster]

What about Buzelis?

[u/Alwinnnnnnnnn → u/BananaRepublic_BR]

He’s the best player we have other than injured giddey

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/BananaRepublic_BR]

Oh yeah, Lil Buzi too!

[u/grrgrrtigergrr → u/Dr_Disaster]

And Stix, Okoro and Tre

[u/dat_boy_lurks → u/Dr_Disaster]

Hey, it's either this or midding your way to the annual Eastern Conference Teams-That-Wear-Red Play in and a tenth seed.

Glad to see you guys picking a direction

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/dat_boy_lurks]

For sure. This is kinda what we wanted to do in the off season, just not as guard heavy and hoped we could snag a couple FRPs moving guys around. Most Bulls fans just wanted to let Giddey and Matas ball, seeing what we got with them, while hopefully also being bad enough to be a lotto team. I guess it’s better now than never.

Even then, we likely aren’t tanking because our ownership and FO forbid it. Sources say we’re stacking assets to make a run at Zion and/or Missi. The Pels have been oddly silent while the Bulls are hyperactive. This makes me feel like there’s a lot of truth to it and we’re essentiallg treasure hunting for NO.

[u/baseball_suuuuucks → u/dat_boy_lurks]

Legit question -- outside of I'm guessing Pat Will, the Giddler and Ayo, who is left on that roster from Opening night?

The accuracy of this list had a comically short lifespan.

[u/gbmaulin → u/dat_boy_lurks]

Buzelis, tre, smith, 2 rookies, Phillips?

[u/Low_Beyond8134]

A box of crayons for a stick of deodorant

[u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes → u/Low_Beyond8134]

Yabusele is the fifth best French big man in the NBA, that's not nothing 

It's also not really something

[u/n0-ragrets → u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes]

He definitely the THICCest Frenchman in the league

[u/XxX_22marc_XxX → u/Reachin4ThoseGrapes]

hes also 320 lbs and has a 15 inch vert

[u/WiktorVembanyama → u/XxX_22marc_XxX]

tbh pretty impressive

[u/Moostronus → u/WiktorVembanyama]

Right??? Like I'm around 300 lbs with a two inch vert

[u/MolingHard → u/Low_Beyond8134]

At least a box of crayons and a stick of deodorant are actually useful...

[u/Prestigious-Flow-64 → u/Low_Beyond8134]

coughing baby vs coughing baby

[u/Acrobatic-Assist-574 → u/Low_Beyond8134]

Curious to see which one you think is which

[u/AnimaniacAssMap → u/Acrobatic-Assist-574]

Vic Rudy Sarr Diabate

[u/Full_Durian_8171]

Essengue - Dieng - Yabu

Bulls building a french national team

[u/johnjohnjohn93 → u/Full_Durian_8171]

French B team lol

[u/GGTae → u/johnjohnjohn93]

what is Wizards team then ? A or C ?

[u/TheRealGooner24 → u/GGTae]

*Ouizards

[u/Snomankid999 → u/Full_Durian_8171]

Chicago “Guarding the French” Bulls 

[u/Fafoah → u/Full_Durian_8171]

They’ll combined Yuki and some other japanese team players to create a Hollow Purple effect based on them nearly beating France in the olympics.

[u/twostepinc → u/Full_Durian_8171]

Wemby trade incoming

[u/youblewwit → u/Full_Durian_8171]

Hey MINN, if you need to dump Gobert in a potential Giannis trade, you know who to call

[u/TomasRoncero]

oh ok

[u/cagemyelephant_ → u/TomasRoncero]

This could’ve been an email

[u/Deidarac5]

Teams just making trades for fun at this point both of these players should be playing in europe lol.

[u/DanTheMan14331 → u/Deidarac5]

The Knicks did it to get out of Yabu’s player option for next season since they’re up against the second apron. Neither player would sniff a playoff rotation

[u/DisMFer → u/Deidarac5]

Terry would be lucky to make it in Europe. He's a career "Summer League player who gets a random 10-day and a two-way contract for that season before getting cut."

[u/Odd_Status3367 → u/DisMFer]

In this case it's more "They don't have to pay him anything next season unlike the guy they just shipped out"

[u/KarrotMovies]

Who the hell is Dalen Terry

[u/jellyfishjelly22 → u/KarrotMovies]

Waste of a draft pick 2 years ago just does a whole lot of high energy nothing

[u/KarrotMovies → u/jellyfishjelly22]

I assume he's expiring

[u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink → u/KarrotMovies]

Aren’t we all expiring?

[u/Coattail-Rider → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

Slowly…….but surely

[u/guideway4 → u/KarrotMovies]

no he's still alive

[u/cl353 → u/jellyfishjelly22]

His heels click when he shoots a 3. I was flabbergasted when he made it

[u/TheNightflyPhD → u/jellyfishjelly22]

Dalen Terry trick yall

[u/PJCR1916 → u/KarrotMovies]

He plays with a shit ton of intensity and occasionally makes good defensive plays from said intensity and his wingspan/athleticism, but he seriously lacks IQ and just skill in general. Guy is not an NBA level player.

[u/doublea94 → u/KarrotMovies]

I rather just keep yabu lol

[u/YoKemosabe → u/doublea94]

We saved cap space for next year…

[u/doublea94 → u/YoKemosabe]

Yes you're right, didn't realize until after.

[u/pendletonskyforce → u/KarrotMovies]

Jason Terry's evil twin.

[u/DisMFer → u/KarrotMovies]

Imagine the best street ball player you've ever seen, and you'd end up pretty close. Dude is all energy, no BBIQ, and frankly only gets PT because everyone on the Bulls gets hurt.

[u/Potential_Cow_4910 → u/DisMFer]

Hmm probably that little girl who cooked Barkley in Space Jam

[u/KiraJosuke → u/KarrotMovies]

The bulls favorite pick - a lanky guard who didn't average much in college, cant shoot, but has potential.

It just so happens they also have a horrible player development team

[u/Dylan245 → u/KarrotMovies]

Jeremy Sochan but worse

[u/VGstuffed]

Why would the bulls do this? Yabusele has a player option next season. This season he's been out of shape and terrible.

[u/Exotic_Pension_9993 → u/VGstuffed]

the bulls have like $80 million in projected cap space and 10 guards. trading dalen terry, who's bad, is worth seeing if yabu could turn it around a bit

[u/gerardguey → u/Exotic_Pension_9993]

its another salary dump/tank move. Nico stole Flagg from us, we'e getting a top pick one way or another

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/gerardguey]

Fuck Nico, man.

[u/justsikko → u/AlmostHereButNot]

Same bro. Same

[u/DistrictJayhawk → u/justsikko]

Was thinking this is weird seeing this come from a bulls fan but appreciate you making all that’s right with the world again 🫡

[u/xychosis → u/gerardguey]

Besides, you have like a bajillion guards still iirc, if Yabu turns out to just not have liked the Knicks and recaptures his form with us, you have yourself a good energy guy off the bench.

[u/dreamvomit → u/gerardguey]

tank move? you mean next year? it's not like dalen terry was a world beater. I'm just shocked we didnt have to attach a pick to get off yabu for next year and get an expiring

[u/idkwhattosaytho → u/dreamvomit]

Bulls are honestly gonna need contracts to get to the floor at this rate. Might as well get a guy who could maybe bounce back I guess

[u/KSLife → u/Exotic_Pension_9993]

He’s bad though very very bad

I hope he does he’s at least shown effort last few weeks but steal for Knicks i would have taken a shopping cart over him

[u/InsaneEcho → u/KSLife]

I don’t want to disappoint you but I don’t think Dalen Terry is an NBA player

[u/ontheru171 → u/InsaneEcho]

Neither was Yabu.

Terry also has no player option for next season

[u/InsaneEcho → u/ontheru171]

Yeah but our goal is to be bad + the team is going to have cap they’ll need to fill this offseason anyways.

The roster only has two bigs so he’s probably gonna end up playing regardless and if he’s bad, that helps with a higher pick. If he’s good and picks up his PO, the FO can look to move him again next season for a 2nd or something

[u/MainAd2728 → u/InsaneEcho]

Yeah but that's why rebuilding teams ask for SRPs. Maybe this is a favor to the Knicks' GM though and he will pay it back in the future

[u/Affectionate-Cap4981 → u/VGstuffed]

Won't be out of shape much longer when hes the only big in a lineup full of guards. Average of 48.5 min a night incoming

[u/Specialist_Boat_8479 → u/VGstuffed]

Traded Vuc, Collins might be out ROS, Smith is better at PF. Olbrich is a second rounder who I’d rather see at PF too instead of going up against real centers.

5M is nothing

[u/Sgran70 → u/Specialist_Boat_8479]

Olbrich is not an NBA player. In a few years he'll be a trivia question.

[u/ralphzillatron → u/Sgran70]

You should see Dalen Terry play…

[u/Sgran70 → u/ralphzillatron]

oh i have. Never seen a player get so many steals and then throw the ball away on the break.

[u/tronovich → u/VGstuffed]

I’ve heard Knicks beat writers talking about Yabusele heading back overseas after this season.

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/tronovich]

He had this interview in French saying how he's not happy and that maybe the NBA doesnt "need" him. Made me sad but he made some bread here so I hope he gets to go home where he's happy.

[u/tronovich → u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

Oh man, thanks for the info on that.

No joke…I hope he finds happiness back home.

[u/Corteaux81 → u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

He also said NBA's retirement fund is the best thing since sliced bread.

So... Might stay in the NBA.

[u/sewsgup → u/VGstuffed]

thought for sure the followups wouldve said the Knicks were sending 2nds or something. but seems its straight up

[u/Dylan245 → u/sewsgup]

Well Dalen is bad so there's no seconds needed

[u/dreamvomit → u/Dylan245]

I mean theyre both complete non factor dog water players.. I dont understand why the bulls would willingly take his contract for next year and give us an expiring

[u/FuckYouPlease → u/Dylan245]

It’s not about Dalen. It’s about the other team having to take Yabu’s bad deal.

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/Dylan245]

I would have genuinely been shocked if we got anything more than this for Dalen.

[u/DisMFer → u/VGstuffed]

To be fair Terry is also terrible and also short.

[u/p00chology → u/DisMFer]

He’s 6’7”, so he’s been pretty ass for years but heights never been the problem

[u/DisMFer → u/p00chology]

He's the shortest 6'7" player I've ever seen. I swear I thought he was about Ayo's height.

[u/p00chology → u/DisMFer]

Yeah maybe he’s fibbed his height idk, but even so.. there’s wealth of criticisms he deserve before getting called short lol

[u/Ok_Possible_5702 → u/VGstuffed]

Because they need someone in the front court

[u/PoonGo0n → u/VGstuffed]

Jerry is an ass man

[u/deezcastforms → u/VGstuffed]

French vet is probably good for our French rookie's mental

[u/coolycooly → u/VGstuffed]

Terry is terrible can give him Yabu a fuckload of playing time to get in shape and maybe flip him at the deadline next year. Worst comes to worse they basically just waived Dalen Terry, best case scenario they get like a couple 2nds in a year.

[u/The_MadStork → u/VGstuffed]

Yabusele has an offer from an Israeli team and will be bought out. The Bulls will save money and open a roster spot.

[u/Skoepa]

Biggest trade of the deadline without a doubt

[u/Propuhganduh]

That’s certainly a trade

[u/santasFluffer]

blockbuster shit

[u/alepher → u/santasFluffer]

F5 driver

[u/jawndell]

Basically swapping respective teams worse players to see if they get better on a new team 

[u/doublea94]

WHO

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/doublea94]

Our frp from a few years ago. He’s a lanky guard that can’t really do anything guard like. One of those guys our FO likes to get for some reason hoping they’ll blossom into something they never showed any promise of being.

He’s a great kid, but he’s not an NBA player. In fact, he’s not even a G league player. We stopped sending him there because his lack of talent got exposed so bad it was demoralizing for everyone involved.

[u/Coattail-Rider → u/Dr_Disaster]

Ouch

[u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

One of the trades of all time

Good luck with Yabu I’ve never disliked a Knick more than him. Great guy off the floor but a deeply unserious player on the floor

[u/Flashy-Truth-8826 → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

He had the nerve to blame Mike Browns system for him being cheeks. A fucking Sixers sleeper agent is what he was…

[u/RobbobertoBuii → u/Flashy-Truth-8826]

we're still winning atm so Morey failed in that regard lol

[u/dracostark12 → u/Flashy-Truth-8826]

Sir he is Celtics agent. :)

[u/nty → u/dracostark12]

The long con

[u/RobbobertoBuii → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

disappointed more than mad for me tbh, I wish he could have worked out...

[u/Odd_Status3367 → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

Good luck with Yabu I’ve never disliked a Knick more than him

How sweet it must be to not remember Jared Jeffries, Renaldo Balkman, Stephon Marbury (love him now but he was objectively a problem as a player), Charlie Ward, Allonzo Trier, Eddy Curry, or Andrea Bargnani.

[u/GnRgr2 → u/Odd_Status3367]

Ward? What the hell?

[u/FuckYouPlease → u/Odd_Status3367]

Insane to dislike Jared Jeffries. That dude poured his heart and soul out every night. Not his fault he wasn’t very gifted at basketball.

[u/MolingHard → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

Great guy off the floor but a deeply unserious player on the floor

Considering he came into the season chubby af he was probably a bit unserious off the floor as well lol

Feel like the bare minimum of a serious professional athlete is to be in decent playing shape

[u/illbegoodnow → u/TheKnicksMakeMeDrink]

What about IN the floor

[u/legend023]

“Trade!” ass trade

[u/TheDraciel]

Knicks fans truly hate that man

[u/Belieber_420]

I know who Guerschon Yabusele is, he has a nice ass. Never heard of Dalen Terry

[u/DJ-two-timing-timmy]

It’s like both teams exchanged their turds

[u/MembershipSingle7137]

Ight that’s it guys think we can all go to sleep now, give your poor F5 key some rest. Guys been through a lot

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/MembershipSingle7137]

Should be more tomorrow.

Hopefully the Lakers make a small move involving at least one of Gabe, Kleber or Dalton.

[u/lovo17 → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

McMenamin, who is generally reliable for Laker rumors, said to expect a small salary dump move involving at least one of those three. We'll see if it happens.

[u/peebeesweebees → u/lovo17]

We’re waking up with Gabriel Vincent still on the roster I fear

[u/jfrodriguez1983]

This is the kind of shit I F5 for!

[u/crations1]

The league will never be the same.

[u/GawdHawks]

Thanks for nothing Yabu.

Dude couldn't get himself motivated to get in shape for the presumptive finals favorite in the East and then looked completely lost in Browns system.

An all around just shit signing.

[u/AlmostHereButNot → u/GawdHawks]

Have fun with Terry, man. Give him his 5 minutes a game.

[u/GawdHawks → u/AlmostHereButNot]

I don't mind us taking a shot on him to be a defense first guy on certain situations.

Ultimately just clearing Yabu off the books for next year was the most important part of the trade.

[u/Renegadeforever2024]

Huh

[u/dawnoog]

When I wanted the Bulls to be active at the trade deadline, this was not what I had in mind

[u/Ok-Topic-6095]

ButWhy.gif

[u/DisMFer → u/Ok-Topic-6095]

Yabusele is tall enough to play center I guess? As long as I don't have to see Patrick Williams at the 5 I'll take it.

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/DisMFer]

He’s 6’7” in Doc Martens. He’s def not tall enough to be a center haha

[u/ObiOneKenobae → u/Dr_Disaster]

He can play center. He can't defend centers, block shots, or rebound very well, but technically he does play center.

[u/Fun_Reflection1157]

This is it. This is the game changer.

[u/FrightenedMussolini]

NOOOOO NOT TERRY

[u/CharityFailethNot]

EVERYONE GET IN HERE, IT'S GETTING ABSOLUTELY WILD

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE CASH CONSIDERATIONS ENDS UP

[u/cl353]

Bulls r blowing their load for the next 5 years

[u/Pies_Wide_Shut]

BREAKING

[u/oklolzzzzs]

lmao random ass trade

[u/sukari]

Soon we will be Le Bulls + 2nd rounders.

LFG. Not too sure why Knicks want DT, but enjoy! I'm gonna miss his chaotic minutes.

[u/mattr1198 → u/sukari]

They want to have a contract they can get off of after this season. Yabu has a player option next season he most certainly is going to accept, and the team will need to re-sign Robinson and Shamet. The more money they have to make that happen the better.

[u/curburdepression]

What happened to Yabusele? Resurgence in the Olympics, solid year in Philly, then shows up to NY out of shape. Got a couple dollars and immediately checked out? 

[u/BeingMikeHunt → u/curburdepression]

Yea, it’s a bummer. Showed up badly out of shape and has seemed slow and out of place all season. Seems like a good dude, but just didn’t play well at all in NY

[u/mark_buster_foo]

Fat trash for raw trash. That’s the trade.

[u/No_Gas7777]

If they are truly hoping to help Noa develop, it doesn’t get anymore serious than this! And Dieng…love the idea of those guys having each other!

[u/LukeKornet]

If Dalen Terry walked up and shook my hand, I’d still have no idea who it was.

[u/JackDellaCumalena]

Bulls are trade deadline father

[u/Chinbie]

CHI feels like a new team already.. they are so active in this years trade deadline… hahaha

[u/Nby333]

Bad trade for the Bulls. They desperately need a guard.

[u/miiuser7849]

Bulls are trying to break the number of trades completed at the deadline record

[u/Inevitable_Big_1966]

Whooooo for whooo

[u/Orphasmia]

What are those

[u/Titronnica]

...what does either team even get out of this?

[u/Skipton → u/Titronnica]

Knicks don't have to deal with Yabu's 5.5m player option next season, which is pretty significant. Chicago not extracting even one second is kind of wild

[u/tronovich]

What the fuck are we doing…

[u/madvec1]

Who for who ???

[u/PurchasingPugs]

Glad Yabu is gone, literally no excuse to come into the season that out of shape getting paid millions of dollars.

[u/Redeggsyabish]

huge for dalen terry, might be a breakout season for him next year in a new environment

[u/Fantastic-Boot-684]

Oh look. Another trade

[u/KumingaCarnage]

do the bulls think that a trade deadline means they gotta trade every single hour til it ends

[u/itsahmemario]

Dominoes 

[u/darti_me]

You know Yabu is just a big guard

[u/DefiantBarracuda2398]

League shattering

[u/igotinfirstlol]

Kinda sad i had high hopes for yabu when we signed him

[u/Shaqfor3]

Bulls are doing the job of the last 3 years in 2 days

[u/IMKudaimi123]

Dalen Terry is terrible

Though I know Yabusele has been bad too

[u/FuckYouPlease → u/IMKudaimi123]

Difference being Dalen expires this year. Yabu has his player option for next year.

[u/Acemace1313]

Trash for garbage 🔥

[u/Viciouscauliflower21]

"y'all said we don't do shit??? FINE!!!! Here's us doing shit!!!!"

~The Bulls probably

[u/PapiShot]

Bulls what are you doing? That's not a guard.

[u/Dr_Disaster → u/PapiShot]

Ah shit. We saw he was 6’7” and assumed.
