The Bulls Supermarket is open! There are only two people in the team that are not sold, White can sell, and the Thunder sends another Harden away?

6:40pm, 3 June 2025Basketball

On June 3, because the NBA Finals didn't start until the 6th, we can talk about some things off the court at this time. Today, the US media reported that Antetokounmpo may be interested in the Raptors. If he joins the Raptors, then based on the thickness of the Raptors' lineup and talent, they will have a chance to enter the playoffs next season, but I am not optimistic about the fact that Let's go to the Raptors. After all, the North is too cold, and they do not have the ability to win the championship.

Recently, the Pelicans decided to rebuild. They put all the players on the shelves. It seems that the team is planning to not break or establish. When it was built around Zion, the team has not even crossed the first round of the playoffs since 2019. The management is probably disheartened. This offseason is destined to have many teams who will choose to rebuild completely or partially, leaving a few young people worth cultivating, and other players will be sent away.

Another team's supermarket opened today. According to US reporter Jake Weibach, the Bulls are expected to fully open the trading mode this offseason, and other players except Gidey and Boozerris will be placed on the negotiating table. This is interesting, which means that their other players who are worthy of attention may be sent away. For example, White, the team's leading star this season, used to be a non-sale product, but now it can be sold.

White averaged 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season, shooting percentage of 45.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 37%. White has indeed shown excellent ball-holding offensive and shooting ability, but his defensive ability is not good, and as his organization as the No. 1 position, he is not good, and he is more suitable for the No. 2 position. After the Bulls gave him the ball rights in the past two years, White's performance is still good. Maybe the Bulls think he has no potential as a cornerstone. Moreover, Gidey performed so well this season, so it is normal not to want to keep him.

If White is put on the shelves, the Bulls will probably get a generous first-round pick. He is only 25 years old and his annual salary next season is only 12.89 million yuan. With such ability and age, many teams are probably interested. However, White will be a complete free agent in the offseason of 26 years. He will seek a long-term big contract, so if he wants to win his team, he must be prepared to send a big contract. The Bulls probably don't want to renew him, so they chose to put it on the shelves.

The Bulls have wanted to send him away since last summer, but they have never been able to send him away. However, it is different now. There are too many teams in the league that lack big centers. Moreover, the Wushen, a former All-Star inside player, is not outstanding in defense, but his ability to support, space and low-post skills are all great. Moreover, his annual salary next season is only 21.48 million. What's more important is that he only has a one-year contract. Even if he doesn't meet expectations, the team can abandon him next summer.

Then it is Paway. In the first round No. 4 pick that year, Paway's ability is still good, but the Bulls have not received enough ball rights to prove himself. He is only 23 years old and still has room for improvement in the future. If there is a team that wants to train him, he can win him, but he still has a contract with an average salary of 18 million in four years. This is what the team needs to consider. It is okay to realize his talent, but the team earns it and cannot cash it out, which is a long-term bad contract.

There is Brother Ball. Brother Ball is a complete free agent in the offseason, but some teams may not be able to sign Brother Ball directly because of their salary space. In this case, they may choose to let the Bulls help them complete the signing and then exchange. In this way, the Bulls may get 1-2 second round picks in return, which is also a good choice. There are many teams lacking substitute point guards. Although Brother Ball has suffered a major injury for two years, he can still help the team.

For two non-selling items, Buzzeris probably knows that he is a player won by the Bulls in the 24-year offseason. After Laven left the team, Buzzeris got enough playing time. He was also very popular with fans with his passionate playing style. His potential is also great, and his salary is not high. The Bulls are completely patient to train him. As for Gidey, he performed well this season.

In order to sell LaVin in the early stage of the regular season, the team did not give Gidey too much ball rights. After LaVin left the team, Gidey proved himself. Previously, the US media had given statistics. After the All-Star, Gidey averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 50% and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.7%. This season, Gidey's three-point shooting has improved compared to before the Thunder.

Gidey has played as a top-level ball-holding core, but because of Alexander's No. 1 position, Gidey didn't get too many opportunities and ball rights. In this case, the Thunder chose to exchange him for Caruso. Now, this operation is a win-win situation. If Gidey becomes a top star in the future, will the Thunder regret it? Harden's incident back then is vivid in my mind. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current bulls? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
