Bulls trade deadline thoughts:
1. Cant have Zo, Duarte, & Craig on this roster post 2/6. Expiring contracts are so valuable right now. If we can get two 2nds to take on bad salary, we gotta do it
2. Coby still holds most trade value on team. Therefore, I still believe he is traded before Zach & Vuc

Watched some DENvSAS. Good game, if not pretty.
-DEN really miss Gordon
-Joker struggled on D, exhausted from the offensive load he carries
-LOVE Russ/Joker 2Man game
-Murray needs to be moved off ball more on O. Let Russ/Joker initiate, create better C&S opps for Jamal.
-if Wemby can stay healthy…

Hoops Media wants free agency, trades, Big3s, outlandish takes & All Or Nothing Ring Culture. We have pundits selling “PlayerX wanted it more than PlayerY” as basketball insights. We’ve rewarded stupidity, simple-mindedness. Real Xs & Os aren’t explored nearly enough.

Bulls are 6-4 over last 10 games with wins over the Wizards, Nets, Spurs, Hornets, Raptors and Celtics.
116.0 OFF RTG/112.0 DEF RTG
They’ve shot 36.6% on 46.4 threes, while their opponents connected at a 32.5% clip on 39.4.
Though they’ve still be outshot (94 to 91.9)

Even crazier stat: Vucevic already has exactly half as many made threes as he did all of last season
92 made threes in 76 games last year
46 made threes in 21 games so far this year

Nikola Vučević made seven more threes in November than he did in any other month the last three seasons.
His 35 triples are the most he’s made since April 2021, when he sank 43 of them in his first full month with the Bulls.

Vooch is — not for the first time this season — the only player in a Bulls jersey who can hit a 3-pointer

The more I watch this Bulls team play, the more I think they should never have lost to Utah at home. Last year’s team would’ve beaten the Jazz. And this year’s team is better than last year’s. Should be 9-10 right now.

I really wish these leaks wouldn’t happen about the Bulls shopping Zach, Vuc & PWill. Have they learned nothing about how this affects the players. We’ve seen it mess w Zach for 2 years! Not sure who guys like Cowley & Fischer are speaking with. But these rumors help no one.

Would love to see how the Bulls perform if they can get healthy. PWill, as much as he frustrates fans, is super important for what they’re trying to do. Vuc needs a real PF w size alongside him.
NBA players getting healthier.
For the first time in a while, sidelined salaries < $1 billion.

Memphis might be a sneaky good place for a Zach trade. Using Smart, Kennard, Clarke & some 2nds. Then re-routing Smart to a contender for some 2nds.

Loved Dalen’s play today. He’s a rotation player for sure. Strong defensively and a great hit-ahead passer. If he can consistently hit that Corner3, he’ll be in the league a long time.

I understand the talk of Giddey being a Power Forward, but he’s really just a Point Forward. In an increasingly positionless game, he can still play a PointWhatever role on offense while defending the opposing 4 on defense. Potential for crossmatches in transition & after misses. But it can be done.

I recall Morey claiming team chemistry was overrated, and that, at best, it’s worth an additional 2-3 regular season wins. I reckon he’s learning the hard way how important it actually is.
