Zach Lavine trade thread: Bulls and Zach will play nice for now

[Art Barr]

Vuc at the 4 would be awful. Did you watch the Brooklyn game?

You can not use vuc as a five.

If you could.

You guys would have won in the post season.
The bulls lack interior depth as well.

Simply because they think vuc is theor white foreign savior.
Literally they are running the what if kukoc played center idea Krause had.
When it does not work.

Bulls are now 1-7 since their franchise max contract player requested a trade.

If he had done this last year y'all coulda had Wemby

He's shooting 25% from 3 this season. He cannot guard opposing 4s at all. And he's missing shots at the rim and is trash in the post.

Would have been risky to tank last year all things considered, I could understand the reservation because they didn't own their pick outright. But with what's coming from the FO this year, I'm baffled and it makes 0 sense for them to trade Zach and not the rest of the "Mid-3"

Dlo and Rui are gonna help you guys alot. Dlo will provide that point guard play you guys have been missing for years and Rui s one of the most efficient mid range scorers in the game.

And most importantly…they’re great guys.

Bulls don't need another mid range shoooter.


I'd rather the Bulls try and get a 4 that can rebound. Rui is too similar to Pat Williams. Even if they intend on moving on from Pat, Rui at the 4 isn't it. Chicago would have another tweener forward that doesn't get 4 boards a game.

I'm warming up to the idea of D-Lo but man, Chicago really needs to structure the roster better. Adding both Reaves and Russell to a team that already has 3 guards in the rotation is a logjam situation.

Rui and DLo good for a Netflix account and half a tank of gas

This is why I said this... Coby White is legit. If you move Zach you have a guy that is capable of taking his shots. He's assisting more, and he's getting better on defense. Bulls need to get more size/rebounding at the 4. They signed Ayo to a 3 year deal. They really don't need to add more combo guards for LaVine.

Doesn’t that mean they are finding a deal and should be done within the week? Or is it punishment? Or is his foot really sore?

Any rumors on any talks?

Just speculating? But... there's really no point or incentive to play Zach if both sides agreed to move on. They'll use the foot injury to avoid getting heat from the league when he sits. This pushes things closer to the first major deadline for players to be traded which is 12/15.

They could have a deal in place and are waiting for that date, we'll have to wait and see.

I remember when Bulls fans thought they had a squad.

We did. Circa October 2021 to February 2022

When 2 of your stars don't play defense (Lavine and Vucevic) it really just destroys the entire team
