Their roster is a weird weird construction. Lots of talented guards who need the ball in their hands and can't shoot.

Bulls make Tony Snell for Michael Carter-Williams official.

Might be to help cut down on Wade's regular season minutes.

Edit, I mean Rondo.

wow that is officially bizarre.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

It also implies that the Bulls don't seem to be too high on Jerian Grant.

Don't understand what they're doing- they now have 5 pigs and a lack of 3 point shooting

Wow. Weird move. You figure it's gotta set up another trade now. I have to take another look at their roster -- I know they have big Robin in the middle + Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis but wonder of they'd be interested in Kyle O'Quinn. KOQ for Spencer Dinwiddie and a future 2 or even straight up for Dinwiddie? I'd do that deal right now..

EDIT: Forgot about this dude Cristiano Felicio. He's a promising big, probably better upside than KOQ. They definitely have one too many lead guards now. Not sure what they'd be looking for in a trade though. They probably wouldn't mind getting Holiday back. He played well for them. I'd hate to give up on him though, esp. with Randle going down, Lee's looked like crap so far and I'm just not a big Sasha guy.

Gives Bulls the flexibility to move Rondo short-term or at the deadline if they feel moved that way.

He's on a short-term reasonable deal so I suppose that is a possibility.

Plus if I'm taking a chance between MCW and T-Snell working out long-term give me the big PG who can at least pass, rebound and get some steals over Snell.

He actually looked much better than he did trying to run the triangle. He was getting to the basket at ease, made a 3 pointer that look so much better (as far as from). I was happy form him until I saw the trade yesterday.

Two good points. You're right, it could've been nothing more than a talent accumulation move where they think MCW > Snell. I could see that. Kinda like drafting the best player available even if you're drafting surplus. Acquire what you believe is the best talent then worry about the rest later..

I heard they are removing the three point line from their homecourt, so it makes sense

Good move for the Bucks, Snell uptempo game alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo ..
Good move for Bulls, MCW halfcourt passing game alongside Wade leading the point.

I think it means that the #2 pick that we got from them in the Grant/Lopez trade will be more valuable.

They could be just setting up for something else and even though MCW hasn't lived up to his draft spot he's still a better player than Snell.
