June 25, 20241 yr Author I think if I were AK, Vuc is getting dealt, Derozan I try and sign and trade and Lavine I keep and deal in season. On Vuc - if I had to take or facilitate a contract or do something creative I would do it. I also probably would prefer facilitating a sign and trade with Pat Williams but as long as no one makes a ridiculous offer, I suppose matching any reasonable deal for his 2nd contract could end up being ok. For the record - I think Lavine with no Demar and no Vuc…but with White, Giddey, Ayo, Pat and whomever else is presumably young and athletic probably allows Zach to be pretty free and basically rebuild his stats. Than deal him - barring another major injury his value is as low as it gets, why not see if he can enhance it a bit.
June 25, 20241 yr Author I should note - the above team wouldn’t be good, so it’s going to get a top 5 pick which is impprtant given depth of next years draft and team should be in a good cap situation with an improving back drop as well.
June 25, 20241 yr There is no rehabbing with Lavine. Do we remember how brutal he was to start last season? He went under the knife to avoid getting traded. The guy is a loser. He’ll just sabotage himself over trying to show out to get traded to a contender. Just get rid of him and good riddance.
June 25, 20241 yr Just now, Kyyle23 said: Jason you need to stop dreaming on LaVine lol It's not just him, a lot of national media think Lavine would come into next season and play hard to get traded to a contender. ... But he could have done that last season and moped is way thru november, cratering his value. Then went under the knife to specifically avoid getting traded to pistons. He's toxic as can be, but not good enough to dream on.
June 26, 20241 yr The Knicks gave up 5 first rounders for Mikal Bridges. Yet the Bulls can't get any for Caruso or LaVine. Bridges is coming off a down season too.
June 26, 20241 yr I would have PI s look into it, and see if he just got off or he truly was innocent, and if it’s the latter, if I’m the Bulls Terence Shannon Jr, is my pick. I hate the Illini but he was the college LeBron.i
June 26, 20241 yr I pay very little attention to the NBA any more, but how is 17ish ppg & <6 rebounds worth $212M?

June 27, 20241 yr Bulls take the local kid from Hinsdale Central Matas Buzelis at #11. Schriffen is more excited than anyone.

Really wish it was happening without a pick deficit tho, and with this front office. This - and I think we will see more and maybe Derozan sticks around as a vet. But I’m fine if they do something creative with Vic, sign and trade Demar, and than maybe I get pleasantly surprised with Zach (even though I truly believe putting him on a young team for a month or two and him healthy he will put up efficient stats and get his trade value to a point it is a bit more salvageable. Better yet Lonzo somehow does anything and they can flip him in season for something.
June 27, 20241 yr Author I’m just glad it seems like they are going for a reset and a youth movement of sorts.

There is no benefit to having a vet as Derozan. Coby is the vet.
