  1. Need to get some better players. Lavine is too inconsistent. Bev is not good

  2. That Bulls team is doo streaks Lavine is the main stain one hot game every 10 😂😂😂 Defrosting is the same way with no 3 ball to boot 😂… blow it up ❗️

  3. If they stay healthy with this roster they'll be a good team. They just haven't played enough together bc someone is always hurt Lonzo needs to come back

  4. Blow it up. This team ain't going anywhere. Lavine and Demar are good third options. They need a bonafide star.

  5. But if I'm sincerely honest in my humble
    opinion, without being sentimental, and
    of course without offending anyone who
    thinks differently from my direction but
    rather looking into this serious matter
    with a perspective distinction and without
    condemning anyone's point of view,
    honestly think and feel that I have nothing
    to say

  6. Bulls fan here and good guide Bobby Marks! Hats off to the Miami Heat, they gave us a good fight, but we couldn't close out. Even if my Bulls won, I think the Bucks would've stomped them in the First Round again, but I love seeing my team compete nonetheless. A lot of off-season moves should be made and I like what Bobby Marks said with, "Mediocrity." Here is what I predict will happen:

    – The whole off-season revolves around the Draft Pick. Yes, it's a 2.4% chance for top-4 and 0.5% for the #1 Pick (lol maybe we get lucky like we did with D-Rose). If the Draft odds fail (most likely will), I'm banking on that a Superstar will demand a trade out of their franchise. My candidates: Joel Embiid if the 76ers fail to make it out of the Second Round, Luka Doncic if Kyrie Irving decides to leave in Free Agency and the Mavericks Front Office don't put the correct players around him, or possibly Anthony Davis if he underperforms in the Playoffs. We do not have a franchise player — LaVine is a second-option, DeRozan will regress soon, and Vucevic is all offense and no defense.

    – I'll start with Free Agency. I think JaVonte Green will walk in Free Agency. I think and would be okay with Andre Drummond and Derrick Jones Jr. accepting their Player Options, but I know they could decline and walk. My boy Ayo Dosunmu… absolutely underperformed this season, but I think they'll re-sign him on a really cheap contract that reflects on his poor production this season — like a 3 yr. / $12mil. deal. I am not high on Coby White. Now, Coby White is the most surprising player of this season and he improved on all parts of his game, but like I said, if a Superstar demands a trade, I think he will be part of a sign-and-trade to acquire said Superstar. You got to lose someone, to get someone. I would also like to Front Office to target Jerami Grant, Yuta Watanabe, and Jalen McDaniels this Free Agency. I am high on Jerami Grant if the Trailblazers decide to trade Lillard and rebuild. Vucevic is all offense, and no defense. I will applaude Vucevic as he did put some effort on defense to close the season, and I think he'll come back on a 2yr. / $42mil. I would rather have a Center who's 6'11 or 7'0 and got big size to defend. I think Vucevic will be back, but if he doesn't commit to defense… It'll get ugly and we will be stuck in mediocrity.

    – Trade talks need to happen. I think DeRozan should be in trade talks. I would love to talk to the Brooklyn Nets and see if they want to fully rebuild. I would love to trade DeRozan alongside some young player (Coby White sign-and-trade) for trade talks among players like Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson (S-&-T), etc. Maybe talks with the Trailblazers for a sign-and-trade for Jerami Grant can happen involving DeRozan too.

  7. Wouldn’t be surprised if more teams do what the thunder did. Extreme tanking seems the only way in todays NBA. Bulls went all in, they have to keep it together.

  8. This team is an absolute mess. there is no way to fix this😭 fu*k this man

  9. This team is done. It was super fun to watch in the first half of 2022, but its over, blow it up.

  10. Lonzo + 1 pick for FVV in a sign and trade with Toronto makes sense. They need to get rid of FVV and can take a bad contract, Toronto needs a rebuild and has a young star so they can take Lonzo and tank

  11. fire billy. sign and trade vuc. find a pg. stop signing 1 dimensional players. if demar is happy to play in chi they should absolutely not trade him. they should def shop lavine asap. find a real fkn pg.

  12. Granted Lonzo is not a SuperStar BUT, I do think he was the piece that made everything come together! As good as the rest of the team is, he provides alotta stuff that goes unnoticed until he’s not there!

  13. Yea it’s time to blow it up. Lonzo was really the glue guy for this team. He was able to get LaVine & DeMar easy buckets. He was also a great defender.

    Bulls should:
    Trade DeRozan
    Re-sign Coby White
    Re-sign Ayo
    Let Vuc walk

  14. They are in the boat with Raptors and Wizards.All 3 should trade players at deadline. All 3 didnt do that
