Zach LaVine returning to the Chicago Bulls lineup…can he fit back in? | CHGO Bulls

Sounds like the practices was Zach went through with Wendy City uh including one of which Billy described as being an arduous practice said it came out of it feeling fine today and that all signs point to unless there’s any hiccup as far as soreness appearing for Zach

Tomorrow he might he might play on Friday that’s what I thought I called it I said it and I yay I didn’t say it to none of y’all talking to my friends but yes I’m ready for this I got to see it I’m very excited to see this again after

The Bulls lost to Philly last night Demar D rozan had this to say about Zack LaVine his absence and his potential return very soon we could have used that extra 20 25 30 points gives us another Dynamic uh a dynamic focal point of scoring and playmaking at the end of the

Day it’s still Zack LaVine teams have to prepare for that when we have him on the court there are so many more options for us to execute again great picture by Joey by the way uh great stuff uh as always that quote came from uh Casey Johnson’s post game right up uh will

What do you make of this I mean like for all of the talk about the Bulls functioning better as a team and maybe appearing to appear to Bulls fans of viewers as a more cohesive Unit A happily cohesive unit but again happily a lot of that just did their winning games as opposed

To losing all of them feels what do you make of of Demar saying like hey this this guy that we’re about to get back he Stills Z well you know their their trade deadline acquisition in many ways could be considered no I’m just kidding um I but

I think he’s right like people it’s like it’s been very convenient time for the Zack LaVine haters um and and they appear to be very many of them still where their team was looking like trash and then he stopped playing and then they started playing well and it’s like

Oh maybe this guy is a losing player oh maybe this guy doesn’t play defense oh maybe this guy is way overpaid um no I mean he’s I I think he’s going to come back and be really good um I think it like we talked about last night like it

Behooves him to play well because that helps the team and it helps his draft or his uh trade stock and so if he still does want to get out of town then that’s the best way to do it so um I think he’s going to come back and I think he’s

Going to fit fit in as best he can like I don’t think it’s that hard to imagine him like being the one that’s running up and down in transition shooting threes like that’s the stuff that fits into what his game is so um then there are times like in

That Cavs game or last night where you like kind of need some half court scoring cuz you just can’t find any so I think it’ll be good to have him back um and for me it’s just also like this guy just has to prove himself so much to a

Lot of people that just don’t like him and hopefully he can do that one more time yeah he’s got he’s got work to do there’s no doubt about it um I think Demar actually hit that on the head though like dude it still Zack LaVine

Like at the end of the day this is still 24 25 points a game that you’re going to need now he wasn’t doing that to start the season cuz as we all kind of thought like he was on some Harden stuff you know but and that’s what makes this very

Interesting yeah cuz he can’t come out like that anymore he can’t do that I’m not even asking him to be the dude that scores 30 I’m just asking him to play Within the system because like will just said not only helps the Bulls it helps him yeah and his trade value and his

Stock because that’s what’s going around that’s the reason the uh covers are be right now is for that reason they don’t think you can play Within this system and they think you’re too it’s too much money for what you offer so you have to change that narrative and that starts on Friday the

Other thing that I find interesting about this is the timing um if Zach comes back and plays Friday he will be coming back into a team that sort of like had a great little run and has basically been like win one lose one for the last five or six games and in that

Stretch we’ve seen Kobe white fall back to Earth after his you know meteoric um month most of the month of December he’s now you know struggling uh because defenses are keying in on him a bit more he’s dealing with more physicality he’s dealing with a sore ankle he’s dealing

With a sore wrist and he’s shooting like negative 8% from three over his last five games the timing of that and then Zach coming back in and trying to find a way to fit in and maintaining some semblance of this different and newer version of the Bulls offensively without

Zack that they discovered in his absence and how that works with trying to keep Kobe’s momentum further along into this season and also finding a spot for Zach to feel comfortable coming back in to this team when before he left you know some of those nights when Zach looked

Checked out and disinterested maybe not the case but for the better part of since they’ve been teammates for 5 years now Kobe and Zack Zack gets more touches than Kobe Zach is more involved possession to possession than Kobe sure and with the timing of Kobe slump and

Zach coming back I’m I’m very curious to see how that works Out like the May

During the CHGO Bulls Podcast, the guys react to news that Zach LaVine could make his return to the Chicago Bulls lineup as soon as Friday against Charlotte. How will LaVine’s return affect the team? If he’s healthy and bought into team ball, his skillset could definitely be much-needed help for this offensively challenged team. But is there also a risk of interfering with a new style and the growth of other players?

  1. Is there even really a system?..I'm sorry but I don't believe in Billy at all. Coby's recent slump has a lot to do with other teams making adjustments for how he is being guarded, similar to how Zach or even P Will who also declined all under Billy failing to coach at a high level.

  2. Everything has worked out quite well, considering how it started.
    Coby and Pat showed up in a block of games and provided themselves with something to build on as well as the team.
    Vuc goes down and Andre Drummond gets to rise up and add a spark.
    Now we are stumbling a little bit right as Zack is going to return.
    How perfect is that? There is an opportunity for him to help this team in a moment of need and raise the profile for the coming trade.
    You got to love it.
