The CHGO Bulls crew discuss new intel from ESPN's Jonathan Givony that the Bulls could try to trade up in the 2024 NBA Draft for Matas Buzelis. Buzelis's family is from Lithuania, where Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas is also from. Givony reports that AK has had his eyes on Buzelis for awhile. The 6'9 forward also has Chicago roots, having played part of his high school career at Hinsdale Central. Is Buzelis a strong enough prospect to warrant the Bulls trading up for him on draft night?

On today's episode, we talk about how NBA teams are tanking for Victor Wembenyama, a player who would be the #1 pick in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 NBA drafts, plus the #1 pick in a draft of every player picked in the four drafts between 2020-2023. We talk about how the NBA is structured such that the team who gets 18 year old generational stars like LeBron, Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson, or Wembenyama will make hundreds of millions in revenue without him having to play a single game. Plus, why the rookie wage scale that protects teams from the Isaac Okoro's of the world means that player who's presence moves hundreds of millions in revenue for the team will be forced to only make 30 cents on the dollar for 8-9 years of their career. Finally, why teams like Houston, San Antonio, Detroit, Charlotte and Orlando are incentived to tank 2-3 years, even if there's an 86% chance they'll lose out on the Wembenyama tank at the end of the day You can read Brian Windhorst and Jonathan Givony's profile on Preparing for the NBA's Victor Wembanyama revolution Order our Debut Book The Spurs Dynasty: A Historical Account of the Greatest Dynasty in North American Pro Sports.

Meet the NBA Draft prospect that is the reason for a “race to the bottom like we've never seen,” as one NBA GM told Adrian Wojnarowski. Victor Wembanyama is a 7'4 18-year old from France, currently playing for Metropolitans 92…and did we mention that he's 7'4? Forget about a unicorn, this guy is an alien, something we have never seen before. There is so much hype around Wembanyama, that some have said that if he was in the same class as LeBron James, LeBron would be the second pick.
