The Chicago Bulls have an amazing city, fanbase, arena, logo, aesthetics, uniforms, entertainment, and storied history.
And somehow, they have an unparalleled commitment to mediocrity. What they are doing to this franchise is one of the great tragedies in sports. It must change.
The Bulls aren’t trading LaVine for Simmons. The whole reason they traded for Vucevic was to build around LaVine. The whole reason to trade for Simmons would be to pair him WITH LaVine and Vucevic. A Simmons/LaVine swap makes zero sense for the Bulls, full stop.
The Bulls’ executives continue to prove that they do not understand the value of their own assets, nor the importance of acquiring assets. They keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
Every team in the league is DYING to have 6’7’ wings that can defend forwards and shoot 3s and some Bulls fans can’t wait to trade their own. Lunacy. Match any offer, Bulls.
Oklahoma City has ‘great interest’ in Patrick Williams, per @DarnellMayberry
“If the Bulls have seen enough of the Williams experiment, one team that has great interest, a league source said, is Oklahoma City. The Thunder need more size, and they have an army of draft picks
What the Bulls should do:
-S&T DeMar to the highest bidder, trade Caruso and Vuc, rehab Zach’s value and move at the deadline, find long-term pieces
What the Bulls will probably do:
-Sign DeMar to 3/$100m+, extend Caruso, salary dump Zach, chase play-in again under the tax.
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a left wrist dislocation, source tells ESPN. He will undergo surgery soon.
