It's hard to see where the Bulls go from here.

DeRozan ain't getting any younger (has a style of play that is becoming extinct), LaVine is better off in a sidekick role (is due a re-up on a max), Vucci's expiring contract is a ticking timebomb, and everyone else are essentially middling role players.

I would personally try to do literally ANYTHING else offense wise around about the 45th attempted three pointer in a 30 point blowout. I think the Bulls are gonna let it get to 50 threes idk…

Derozan and Vuc's contracts aren't long term and they both are movable if they want to pivot.

The clear direction they will go is to run it back, get healthy and look for Project Pat to take a leap.

All of their "middling" role players are guys that have value around the league (Caruso and Lonzo) or on cheap short deals.

If they bring the team back and they under perform before the deadline, they will be able to acquire assets if they choose to rebuild

Didn't watch, Derozan only 10 shots in 43 mins?
All the Bulls had to do was make open shots like you would think a Playoff team would be capable of doing.

Bucks weren't even contesting a lot of these nikkas shots. DeMar actually would have forced it some of Milwaukee played him like they did when Zach was out there. But without Zach they basically shaded 3 players on his side of the floor and forced him to pass the ball. That's the only way you getting him to pass frfr
