    Bulls writers think LaVine will be happy coming off the bench, to help growth and development of younger players.

    Hey somebody ask the Uber driver what our center rotation would be if we trade Ayton?

    I can’t imagine the money works unless we’re taking back Randle, which doesn’t make sense.

    Maybe a version of RW for scrappy contracts and a 1st? They desperately need size. I bet they go after someone more like Kessler if they need to use a pick.

    Montrezl Harrell is playing in the Australian NBL to prove that he’s fully recovered from his ACL injury. He debuted with the Adelaide 36ers over the weekend, and put up 13 & 13 in 20 minutes. He was gassed by the end, so his game fitness isn’t there yet, but his athleticism and agility looked good. I’m sure he has an NBA out clause in his contract.

    Clingan, RW3, Reath.

    Goal is to get a high pick this year, correct?

    Then the Game Threads should be much better this season….NO reason to get upset about ANYTHING.

    I'd love for us to make the Vegas portion of the inseason tourney some year - I'd fly down there.

    It's going to be a long time until we make the full playoffs. But for the IST we could catch one team hurt, sneak in a couple other wins and somehow make that thing.

    Probably the only game I'll full on root for us to win this year will be that first IST game (Nov12 hosting the Wolves) and if we win it root even harder for the next ones.

    A bunch of walk the ball up the court ISO ball is a reason to be upset, IMO. Especially with a young team. They all need to develop.

    If we aren't working ball movement and player movement then Billups needs fired.

    Looks like they finally get that elusive ex-Blazer they had coveted so much. They didn’t even have to give up Tyler Herro.

    If we’re looking to tank, shouldn’t that be cause for celebration?

    Nah, never celebrate an injury.
