Patrick Williams OUT For the Season…..Just Brutal
When Patrick Williams walked out onto the bench in a boot when the Bulls played the Portland Trailblazers I believe it was I knew that this was bad much worse than the franchise was letting on because they said the boot was just a precautionary measure and that the pain he was experiencing in his
Foot was nothing serious well days pass Pat stays out no timetable for his return the team was being very vague about his status and whether he would be able to return soon to the court after the All-Star break and I said both on the channel and on Twitter I don’t think
Patrick Williams is returning this season there are just two too many signs pointing as to why the Bulls were not being transparent the history of how these injuries and the way they’re handled in the past have gone with this franchise for me the writing was on the
Wall that he was going to miss the season and sure enough we received that confirmation today when the Bulls announced that Patrick Williams would be out for the remainder of the season to undergo foot surgery just brutal brutal news for Patrick Williams who has now suffered his second major injury of his
Short career that will sideline him for most of the Season he also missed most of his sophomore year ended up playing all 82 games last year but this is rough not only for Patrick Williams but also for the Bulls and their fans is this is a major setback for Patrick Williams in
His development who was really starting to make strides in the right direction when give more opportunity after Zack LaVine first went down like people will focus on how he played when he came back after initially injuring his foot and he played like what four games or something
Like that but he clearly was not right and hadn’t fully healed which of course ended up being the case now that he’s missing the rest of the season prior to that initial injury you saw Pat being much more aggressive on offense he was more efficient with his shooting than he
Was at the start of the Season he was playing better on the ball and being able to create his own shot and creating plays for others but still obviously has a lot of work to do don’t get me wrong needs to improve his overall handles better decision- making and awareness on
The floor but he was showing Improvement even though it might not have been to the level we were hoping to see from him having a breakout year but what I will say though is it’s a good thing the Bulls didn’t sign him to an early extension this off season and the one
Silver lining in all this which I say that for the fans and the Bulls as an organization not really for Patrick Williams but the good thing from this is the Bulls are going to be able to get him on a cheap deal come the off season whether he plays on the qualifying offer
Which I think will most likely be the case to bet on himself for the One season and hope to get a big long-term contract as an unrestricted free agent or the Bulls can sign him to a longer term deal say a three-year team-friendly deal maybe something in the range of
What Kobe white got which gives the Bulls much more flexibility on their cap sheet going into next season rather than giving Pat 18 to 20 odd million dollar in the annual salary which is what a lot of reports were indicating that he might get but I don’t know I say that it’s a
Silver lining but really it just rewards this cheap organization and staying under the tax while resigning to Mar Rosen and keeping this core intact like this is exactly what they wanted stay under the tax have a mediocre team and keep running things back so yeah I guess
I shouldn’t call this a silver lining at all I just hope that Patrick Williams for his sake as someone who has been a pat believer even though I have been disappointed with him at times but as someone who wants to see Pat succeed and to have this happen to really cap off
Everything else that’s happened this season just makes it all the more frustrating and make standing Pat at the deadline all the more maddening when you really don’t have much to work with for the rest of the season with all these guys out and you don’t do anything to
Bolster your roster or take a step back and try and retool H I cannot wait for this season to be over it never ends with this team let me know what you guys think as always be sure to subscribe and I’ll see you in the next one

More Julian Phillips mins 😁 just looking on the bright side!
Can’t take being a bulls fan these days😭
Idk why they forced him back so soon when he was obviously in pain.
Holy shit atp the bulls needa hold a try out
…maybe, just maybe, that was the reason that Bitim got the Standard NBA Deal?!?!
Do not resign him Ak is a moron
If they sign this clown, this complete BUST then this front office is stupider than a box of rocks. I love demar but he needs to go, vooch is terrible he needs to go, and I would take a box of bazooka gum to get rid of Zach he needs to go. They should waive ball and stretch his money and start getting younger. They clearly don’t give F about winning so at the very least they could put a young inexpensive team that competes every night. Chicago sports Bulls and Bears are an embarrassment this state doesn’t deserve professional sports teams take my Sox and those Northside losers too. Right out of the state, worthless the whole lot of them.
Medical staff needs to be investigated.. players aren’t safe what the heck is going on. ?
You know AKME will take this as an excuse for the season ending interview, and somehow spin it to not hold themselves accountable. We know this to be fact.
It's not like we were going to make a run anyway. I'm starting to not even care.
This is trash. Absolutely trash. The thing that can also come from this is they sign him short term, he blows up, and we can't afford him after a couple of seasons. He gets good, gets gone, and the Bulls fandom collectively bitch about him, Lauri, WCJ, and Franz.
Idk if Pwill deserves a contract extension. I agree with bullscentral..Bulls shouldn’t offer him much money because of his lack of play, and injury history
“We want to stay competitive…” mannnnn f*** the front office
Bulls needs to sign pokusevski
Is ts well
🙁
So at the trade deadline we had two (three if you count Zo) starters gone for the season, DeMar on a expiring, and the Bulls did nothing??? That's legit incompetence. They had to have known PWill was out long term by then.
I’m shedding those tears now my g! I love me some P. Willy (no homo tho) so this some sad news my ninja 😢
Honestly since this team was built we have lost lonzo for 3 years pat got year and half lavine for year and half Caruso for almost a year all combined and now Torrey Craig this year and considering we were in first place when this team was together because without injuries I think this team would have been really dangerous but I don’t care what team it is when u lose 3 starters and ur best bench player your gunna struggle but I give them credit for at least playing hard and watching these young guys get playing time I would like to see orlunp and adamo get some more run let them get playing time in a lost season anyway
this team is cursed with injuries because of cheap owners
I'm ready for a full rebuild start from scratch
Didn’t I say over playing guys is going to lead to injuries? Didn’t I say that it would be unfortunate if White, Derozan or Vuc get injured due to them leading the league in min? We’ve seen this movie before under Thibs. Again… What is the goal for the Bulls at this point? Y’all better hope that those three doesn’t get an injury that will sideline them for an entire season ⚠️ They are already going to be gassed if they manage to into the playoffs. I don’t even see the Bulls getting to a play in at this point.
Great… Another excuse that the Front Office is going to use at the end of the season.
Bulls have the worst medical staff in all of professional sports. All of them need to be let go
I’d be interested in how much Pats new contract will be
Bulls better not over pay him
There is your answer why they called up the Euro player
He is not adding winshare this season, so good, heal up completely and dont play games with it..
Now can I see more Bitim?
this is not going anywhere, somebody put a curse in us
Can’t believe no one can make this greatest team be in the road of contenders like we use to be in 90s and 2010
Yeah, is this really even that much of a loss for them, at this point? Does he really make that much of an impact, at least for the rest of this season?
We should have traded Pat Williams when we had the chance. Never saw the potential in him. Now he’s just damaged goods.
And since Bitim was converted to a standard NBA contract, that means the Bulls roster is full now right? Other than like a two-way signing, which doesn't really do anything at all if we're being honest, the Bulls can't even get a buyout market free agent anymore now if I'm not mistaken. Could've kept Bitim on his Two-way contract since he's hardly played at all in the NBA this year and brought in a free agent so then at least you have a couple of fresh bodies to play some minutes and take some strain off of Coby, Demar, AC Vooch and Ayo. If Coby or Demar get injured from having to play excessive minutes all the time, I think it'll be quite difficult for the Bulls to manage even 100 pts in a game when all the other teams routinely score 110-120. We're obviously not going to make any noise in the playoffs (if the Bulls even make it that far) so the only thing I can look forward to now this season is Coby and Ayo continuing their improved play, and for guys like Bitim, JP, Terry, and Sanogo to get a chance to step up and prove themselves.
Medical staff is just as cheap as the FO 😂😂😂 lemme know if they get to .500 otherwise I’ll catch y’all next season, cuz this one is trending the same way last one went and I just don’t have it in me to watch the eternal mediocrity of this organization
No point in watching Bulls basketball anymore but since I’m a fan I will make my self watch us be blown out every single night
