WeltHam fleeced Chicago so much. I feel for them ❤️

I recall a fair amount of negativity (tho tbh I don’t remember from who) about that trade, and how we missed the chance to trade him for something valuable lol.

actually it’s a bad move by Chicago. 
They aren’t winning with that core and they resigned Vooch because of ego imo.. 

It doesn’t make sense for them to pay that money for a 3rd/4th option.. 

Thats why i anticipated him being available for 15 mil or so and that i’d be willing to pay a premiere mentor backup center that identifies with this franchise.. 

 

Didn't read the irony on the post you quoted? :P

 Donte DiVincenzo to decline option, enter free agency

Is Donte (26 - 6'4") right know better than Gary Harris(6'4" - 29)?

Any chance there is a way to add Donte?

Championship experience - 2021 with the Bucks. Also with Villanova on 2018

Much better ball handler and rebounder than Gary....

Gary:

Year	Team	GP	Min	Pts	FG%	3pt%	Reb	Ast	Stl
2022-23	Magic	48	24.7	8.3	45.0	43.1	2.0	1.2	0.9

 

Donte:

Year	Team	GP	Min	Pts	FG%	3pt%	Reb	Ast	Stl
2022-23	Warriors	72	26.3	9.4	43.5	39.7	4.5	3.5	1.3

I agree.   Especially if we lose Gary Harris   It would be nice to not only have that Vet presence, but a guy who WANTS to be here.

But Good for Vuc.    Happy for him.

That's a really good compliment. WCJ is indeed vastly underrated, even by many on this board.

i did. I was just pointing out why i believe it’s a bad move by Chicago. 

that’s also no knock on Vooch.. He’s a great player.. It’s just that they don’t use his skills properly in Chicago..

i don’t see how anybody would underrate WCJ. Not only is he a great center, he also has one of the greatest value contracts out there. 

Im new to this board, but i honestly haven’t read anything negative about WCJ. Most people talk about getting a backup center in FA. I never read anything about replacing WCJ, except of including him in a major trade (i think somebody threw out a scenario that would get us Lilliard or something)

Today is the deadline for team options on MCW, Schofield and Goga.

i hope they pick up Goga.

 i wanted Ayo Dosunmu badly in the draft.. 

Now could be a good time to grab him in FA.

And play him where? This team doesn't need anymore guards. It especially doesn't need any more guards who aren't good shooters.
