It's a guaranteed lottery pick, which is better than what they'd get in other hypothetical trades

I should note I dislike Isaac for personal reasons and would never root for him. I still think it's not a very good offer. Cole Anthony would create more of a logjam than he would solve.

Zach responded to the trade speculation by coming out and playing like dog shyt through 3 quarters before getting hot in the 4th and down the stretch. This is the Zach experience. A great offensive talent when engaged, but too inconsistent to be a top tier #1 or #2 option.





I'm just hoping he doesn't tank his value playing like garbage until a deal is made at this point.

Bulls put this out there to get a bidding war started before more players are eligible to be traded. They just have to prioritize getting young promising talent and picks back in return. Organization is truly delusional if they make a trade for win now players for him

Bulls about to trade lavine to the lakers for a package of :trash:which will include Scottie Pippen Jnr

(While his mother is being banged in the trophy room , by the GOAtS son)

sums up how far this team and organisation has fallen in recent years

I knew shxt would go down hill fast once they committed and recommitted 2 that BUM Donovan

I mean... I'd be fine with him in Orlando because he'd def fit our roster. Our biggest hole is shooting guard and we have assets and cap space for days.

Obviously Wagner, Banchero, Carter and Black are off limits but the rest of the roster is prob up for grabs if Chicago wants. Decent haul for him and not whatever dogshyt the lakers are offering.

The past three seasons the Bulls have had a good team on paper but struggled immensely to win on the court that I just don't understand it, obviously, Lonzo hasn't been playing due to injuries but still, the Bulls have the kind of roster in which they should be with the second tier east teams (Knicks, Cavs, Heat, etc) in terms of competitiveness and success.

They're up there among the most underachieving teams in the league (Pelicans, Hawks, etc).

Demar doesn't have another level

If Chicago is keeping Caruso, I like the idea of bringing in Suggs. That guy just makes winning plays that don't always show up in the box score. I'd want him back in a deal for sure

The Bulls FO has been adamant for years that they believe in this roster and core. Common sense would say, that since the GM likes the roster this much, that they would shift off Donovan and see how the same players perform with a new voice.

Instead, they have doubled down on the roster with the same coach who they have obviously checked out on. Zach probably wanted him gone last season after he got benched. After Ime turned down BK, Chicago should have been all over it and brought him in.

Lonzo going down really fukked them. He was the glue that tied it all together(could run point, defended at a high level and could hit a three).
