Surprised some people thought he would go elsewhere.   Where was he going to go?

Nobody had cap space for him, and I am sure Bulls didn't want to facilitate a sign and trade -- and never heard anything about Lavine being unhappy in Chicago either.

I still think the Bulls are surprise players in the Durant sweepstakes.  As a Bulls fan what do you think of Durant or the package below?   How would you want to tweak it - or are you totally against it?

Vucevic
White
Williams
Dosonmu
3 picks
Swaps

Vucevic is an expiring which the Nets can flip for another pick or two.   Williams and Dosonmu are the type of young players the Nets can build up and keep or consolidate in a trade.

Bulls are left with a 5 man core 
Durant
Derozan 
Lavine
Ball
Caruso

The bench is very weak -- Drummond and Terry.   Need to find a way to get another big, but Drummond did help in that regard (a bit) yesterday.  But I am sure once they get Durant they will be able to fill the bench now and in buyots.

And maybe too many players that need the ball in their hands and a little against the current mold of big, tall and athletic.    Perhaps try to take Williams out of the deal.

Anyway I did place a bet on the Bulls winning the ECF (28-1 I think) and the NBA title at 60-1 yesterday.
