Bulls have fools gold. KP and Frank have much higher ceilings then LM and Dunn. KP easily is the highest impact.
Bulls need to add stars in FA. If they do they can be good. OTherwise they have a roster full of middle tier guys with modest impact. They have better young role players than us but so what. If the strike gold in FA then their more flexible roster helps them. Its just as likely that they overpay for RFAs and dont accomplish much.
Knicks have some decisions in the front court. Who do they commit to? KOQ? Kanter? Willy? Does Noah get purged or is he a legit backup? Do guys like McBuckets come back?
Knicks won 31 games last year. They are much better this year and they are +.500 when either THjr or KP plays.
These appear to be the only sure things moving forward and all have upside
KP 22
Frank 19
THjr 25
Rotation guys who have shown upside as well but are long term ?marks (contracts)
McD 25
KAnter 25
prospects not playing behind veteran or better players
Willy 23
Dotson 23
Stop gap

Lance
KOQ
Not a believer

Deadweight but could still have a role depending on roster moves:
