Bulls were a top defensive team and top seed until Ball and Caruso got hurt, and after that they lost their identity and relied on DeRozan's hero-ball to win. Even after Caruso came back they forgot the tough perimeter defence that forces turnovers and initiate transitional opportunities.
If the two of them come back healthy, and having worked to improve durability in the offseason (like they said they would), this team is a contender with just a few defensive big FAs. The issue is that other teams across the league have likely figured out the Bulls, it's gunna take more than Lonzo and Caruso to cover up the soft gooey center of Lavine, Demar, and Vuc.
@@D4PPZ456 Lavine needs to work on his basketball IQ, he takes bad contested shots even when theyre down with 10 seconds to go, no defense at all and doesn't know how to lead a team
The Bulls best route is just to run it back. Adding some front court depth is a must and bench production. We sucked at bench scoring on our worst games. We need Coby and the other guys to be consistent off the bench
I'd trade Zach for Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdonovic. Then try to trade Vuc/White for PoeltI/Josh Richardson and their 2022 pick for this year or the 2023. I'd say try to trade for Murray, but I don't think that's going to happen after the year he had. Probably not PoeltI either, even though I think he's pumped up a bit. Vuc would probably thrive under Pop and with the way they love bigs, they might pounce.
@@warlockmagic3416 What happened to Zach Lavine? His career stagnated. He's suppose to be Devin Bookers match-up. Buy Dbook got better all around while lavine didn't get better outside his scoring.
I really like this Bulls team, if they can manage to stay healthy and or learn how to play around the injuries better they easily could have a good playoff run. I’m not sure about championship yet simply because there’s just so many good teams out there right now.
From what I have seen from a range of different mock drafts, Agbaji will likely be already taken by the time the 18th pick rolls around. Most mocks have him in top 15 if I recall correctly.
I don’t think Zach LaVine should even walk away from Chicago , and clearly the Bulls are gonna give him that max money for sure that’s no doubt about that for him
Idk bro. Bucks, Heat, Celtics, Sixers, Cavs and Nets are better and most of those teams are deeper rosters. If they can get Gobert and some bench pieces from FA they become a top 2 team.
pretty good look at the Bulls and some of their options imo. some changes are definitely coming its just who goes where and who's coming in. a couple things for sure and that is Zach must be signed and the bench must be improved to the highest degree possible. which is going to be some tricky business. Bulls already said "the core" group is coming back which most take to mean the starters, Alex Caruso, and Ayo on a favorable rookie contract. but that leaves half the roster and free agent market to tinker with and not much money or assets to go around. personally I think rebuilding the bench with a good trade and a couple of nice free agent pick ups would make the Bulls tougher and better competitors next season, giving them a shot at matching up well with the top teams in the East. but just how to get it done is somewhat murky still. whatever the case signing Zach is a must. Play him or sign and trade him but the Bulls gotta get him signed.
As a warriors fan, I am really surprised that Harrison Barnes is only 29. I thought he was like 35 because he and the warriors go wayyyy back to 2015 and all of that
You kids are funny... The Bulls obviously need a rim protector. Vuc for Gobert type deal with options. We don't need a stretch 5 or another guard/wing. DeRozan is going to shoot 25 shots a game, Zach needs at least 18 shots a game. Vuc is a scoring big, we're on overload with scorers & 1 facilitator that's looking injury prone in Lonzo Ball & let's not forget that Lonzo turned himself into a good 3pt shooter so that's more shot attempts. Caruso is our best defender, but he obviously can't guard big men which is our kryptonite.
For sure they have to get absolutely better & they need to get even healthier , cause losing Lonzo Ball before all star break was crucial & even losing Caruso for a while before the playoffs was even huge , they need to have better depth on defense and on their PFs for sure 💯💯💯💯
Thing is, Vooch 17,6 ppg as a 3-4 option (Lonzo was ahead him before his injury) is good! Zach and DeMar averaged ca 25 ppg. You can't assume Vooch average 25 ppg too! Bulls need backup C and PF. I would bet Coby is gone, he needs change of scene, like Markannen. If Coby is gone, bench scoring is as big problem as frontcourt depth.
We have to lose something special of our own in order to get something special in return... Vuc or one of our wings need to go for a Rudy Gobert type of player. IMO we're on overload at the guard position.
If I were the Bulls, I would package Vucevic with Coby white and a 2nd for Gobert. Gobert adds the paint and rim protection that the Bulls lack big time
@@yanncourtel8538 what is going on with MPJ back? You really need to know, before you would trade for him. He has 170m/5y contract. I would stay away, beacuse history of injuries.
could you maybe make a video about the nuggets?^^ probably not, still great content eidt: maybe i should watch the whole video before asking stupid questions
The biggest problem this year was Covid almost the entire team came down with it and a lot of them were out for a significant amount of time And on top of it all the injuries came right after the guys came back from Covid almost like they weren’t ready Cam newton said it took him six months before he got his win back from his bout with Covid I don’t know exactly how that affected these guys but they really looked when they came back like they were not physically ready Lonzo in injured himself two games back Zack injured himself a week back The real need on this team is a sinner they can move his feet Ingo Chester chess with Giannis Embiid Bam Adebayo Williams And possibly another power forward although they were really effective at small ball in the lead the league in a lot of categories before all the Covid in the injuries came down They may have finished poorly and the stats but they were leading and a bunch of them before the Covid
As a Bulls fan there's no way in hell I would want AD on the Bulls he's too injury prone the one thing the Bulls don't need is another hometown player that can't even play most of the time I'm hoping and praying that Zach Lavine stays with the Bulls
@@trinbaker993 I'll give you Vuc and Coby White for AD and a 1rp. Why the fuck would anyone give full value for a guy who's gonna play 10 games, roll his ankle and then be out for the rest of the season.
A.D. shot 18%, J.Suggs 21% Jimmy Butler 23% Horton Tucker 27% Giannis 29% Julius Randle 30% SGA 30% Scottie Barnes 30% De'Aaron Fox 30% ALL shot worse from 3 than Cade and Vuc, everyone from Giannis down were worse than Russ, dont skew it by saying of qualified players, youre far better than that, makes them sound like they were awful when in reality they shot better than a lot of stars/superstars.
AK drafts well. He wouldn’t trade 2 1st for Barnes. I expect a hit on 18 this year, and for them to extend Vuc at a lower number/trade him. Lavine will stay home.
As a Bulls fan, the ADxZach trade is a Dream for the Lakers, not the Bulls. We dont need hum, and Chicago Loves Zach+ the Team got the chemistry needed to build something special. We just need to Add 2-3 players who can shoot+protect /rebound....much respect bit this takes were terrible

Love your breakdown man! We need someone who can get rebounds and stop people shooting lay ups. But it was fun being a Bulls fam this year.
2 FRP for Harrison Barnes is wild
i agree harrison barnes is a good playerr, however hes definitely not worth coby white and 2 first round picks regardless on if theyre "late"
ok think about it the playoff and champship experience he has he would be a way better fit for the team then coby white
Yeah I was surprised he suggested that after talking about their low number of good picks beforehand
