He needs to work on his overall game. His defense alone should insure he has a place in the NBA for awhile. I would like to see him on a good team with good coaching where he could play to his strengths, even if he is not a starter. Work and, play hard and do not over think it. How about when Rozier leaves the Celtics after the playoffs? They'll be looking for a backup point and good defender. Brad Stephens checks your boxes. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

I think Smart is a better defender especially since he can cover guards and forwards. I would have assumed Kris had more assists which he did since Smart plays 2G as much as PG, but surprised Kris was a slightly better rebounder. Smart seems to me tobe a good rebounder but I guess not.

Kris could fit in and find Hayward (he's 90% back) and Morris. I'm not a fan of most of Smart's play. He's a hothead (punching hotel room pictures and provoking altercations) and often injured. There's place for him but not the point. Rozier is an energy guy off the bench. Decent point but more of a scorer. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

Agree his aggressive style is even somewhat reckless on the court. But he averages more games played each season than Kris does. Kris has missed 1/3 of each of the last 2 seasons. Smart played 80 games this year.

Dunn has had some nice stretches of games. Unfortunately his injury situation carried over from PC and his work ethic has been questioned. Not sure if he'd buy into a backup role

Dunn is teetering on the bust bubble right now. No way I see the C's buying into a player so limited offensively and so unreliable physically. Love who he is and how hard he goes at it and I cheer like all of us for his success but he's at a real crossroad right now.

Never said that. But when Rozier leaves, we need a second string point. And just maybe a local environment would be just what the doctor ordered. PIZZA, SODA, GRINDERS!!!

Bosox fans wish Doc Draif was on their staff to evaluate dead arms that result in dead money on the books.
Plus he has the mobil exray machine plugged into the dashboard in his car. Drive-Thru Checkups...just please for crice sakes wear a mask when getting into the vehicle.

pippenainteasy.com/2019/05/19/kris-dunn-trade-rumors-chicago-bulls-market-value-nearly-dissipated/"However, the idea of trading Dunn almost seems a done deal right now. According to the Chicago Tribune, the trade value of Kris Dunn for the Chicago Bulls could be “low to nonexistent” entering the summer. That is unfortunate for a Bulls front office that made it known at the outset of the off-season for them that they would explore a few different options to bring in a point guard. GarPax might have waited too long to dish out Dunn, even though he is still a young and possibly promising two-way point guard. At 24-years-old, Dunn could still have a long way to go with his development if he lands in a good situation next. Landing with the Bulls and Timberwolves previously obviously didn’t help him fill gaps in his skill set."

Certainly has not been a great start to Kris's career in the NBA...2 teams 2 times given up on...

Bulls select Coby White (PG) with the 7th pick.
Grind it, Kris!
