Soooooo........who ya got for Da Bulls?

Do we want to do a Mock Draft?

What do you guys and gals think??

If the Bulls were to get 5 there's a number of ways the draft could fall.

It seems pretty likely that 2-5 ends up being (in an unknown order): Barnes, Beal, Kidd-Gilchrist, Thomas Robinson. Any and all of them would fit with the Bulls to a decent extent, assuming Deng is dealt to acquire the pick. Beal would seem like a somewhat ideal fit next to Rose given his overall offensive game.

However, the entire top of the draft after Anthony Davis seems wildly unpredictable with pundits and talking heads having very little idea of where those 4 players are going to fall between the 2nd and 5th picks.

How much do we want to draft a PF given that we're somewhat "loaded" there as it is? I know you could simply amnesty Boozer, but PF is the one position I don't mind passing on. If we got a pick like the 10, I still think any team would be crazy not to draft Meyers Leonard (especially with a coach like Thibs who will keep Meyers' head out of his ass). Then you could let go of a guy like Asik who only has limited value as a bench player anyway.

Draft deals are done with the stipulation that the player they want will be there in the draft. Otherwise they don't happen.

That only makes too much sense.
