Bulls you like the look?

I fully expect DeRozan to have a very Harden esque playoffs....

 

Derozan's MVP bid lasted for like, half a week.

 

Bulls will get eliminated in the 1st round if they match up with the likes of boston/nets. It'll be no different than DD and the Toronto teams

 

Bulls have been atrocious all year against good teams…they often get smacked

they are 2-18 against teams that currently have a .600 record or better

 

Bullsh!t sounds about right

 

pretenders

 

DeRozan is super overrated.

 

Lonzo will never be healthy

 

Even I got suckered in a little by their hot start, at the end of the day they are exactly the decent non contender I expected them to be.

 

1st round exit on the horizon for this pretender

 

1 , 2 , 3 Cancun!!

 

If I'm them I sell on DD/Vuc and retool around LaVine, Ball, Donsumu, and Williams. This team isn't going anywhere.

 

…But as this season has gone on, with the Bulls now sitting at a disappointing 11-18, and while playing without their star point guard Lonzo Ball due to a lingering knee injury, serious questions have arisen within the locker room about whether their two star wings can click together at a high level on the court this season and beyond.

The Bulls have held multiple team meetings to try to work out their issues, and that has included one-on-one, face-to-face sitdowns between DeRozan and LaVine, multiple sources with direct knowledge who were granted anonymity because they are unauthorized to speak publicly on the matter have told The Athletic. DeRozan and LaVine have always had a strong mutual respect for each other. Only 10 months ago, over All-Star Weekend in Cleveland, the stars proclaimed themselves as the NBA’s best duo. They maintain a good personal relationship. But their meetings have not led to in-game results so far, with a level of on-court, stylistic tension simply festering throughout the season and being magnified due to the win-loss record.

Even more, multiple league sources and sources close to the organization say LaVine and the Bulls are not seeing eye-to-eye. Over the past few weeks, there’s been a palpable feeling across various parts of the franchise of a disconnect over LaVine’s situation in Chicago. All of this has been happening while LaVine is in the first season of a five-year, $215 million maximum deal that was signed this summer.

In the third season of Billy Donovan’s tenure, there’s also been increased skepticism within the locker room about the head coach and the coaching staff. For Donovan, the challenge of optimizing DeRozan and LaVine together through a balance of execution, accountability and cooperation looms large. Donovan’s job is currently safe, however, as The Athletic reported that he signed a multiyear contract extension prior to the start of this season.

 

Bring home Jalen Green's real twin. Zach LaVine.
