"We're going to try to win EVERY GAME" - The Chicago Bulls 2024-25 Season Thread

The Bulls didn't draft Cooper Flagg on Wednesday.

But they increased their ability to put themselves in position to potentially do so. And by selecting Matas Buzelis with the 11th pick in the first round of the NBA's two-day NBA Draft, they continued the potential rebuild that management may soft-shoe as a retool that began with last week's trade of Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey.

Make no mistake: Not only is Zach LaVine available for trade, the Bulls are open for business. And with growing buzz that DeMar DeRozan will be elsewhere next season, either via a sign-or-trade or simply walking in unrestricted free agency, the buzzword is no longer competitiveness.

It's Cooper.

I have to watch more tape on Matas, for most of this process, he was not slotted to slide as far as he did. So he really wasn't on my radar

He's going to fake act like he's been a Bulls fan since he was a kid now with the press.

I’m rather convinced just off these clips if you threw him into college ball he would have torn shyt up as a 18-19 year old and gone at a minimum top 5 if not top 3 in this draft
