My bold prediction is the Bulls will be closer to trading for a legit big than they will be to tanking this year. Barring injuries of course. Giddey brings the same sorta court vision the Bulls had with Ball before he got hurt. That's one of the things this team has been missing. Oh, and hey look, Ball is back too..... I think Billy really gets things moving with this group.

How many guards do the Bulls need? They just signed Talen Horton-Tucker of Simeon fame, but damn, they have A LOT at the guard position... Especially is Lonzo comes back..

I was just about to say this. Sweat-Walker-Dex-Taylor/Booker on passing downs could be pretty damn good.

Ball has been cleared for 5 on 5. No idea what he'll bring back to the table, but I'm intrigued.

I think "Of any use" is a bit of a stretch. I think if the manage to trade Lavine and Vuc, and he gets heavy minutes, I could see him in the ROY conversation. He certainly doesn't seem to lack confidence/aggression ala Williams.

They better not be done then. The team as it stands is still a fringe playoff team IMO. Especially if Lavine comes back and plays well. I think with Giddeys size and playmaking ability for others they can roll out Coby and Lavine alongside him and give them a lot of what they wanted with Ball. Defensively they're gonna struggle though, BIG time. Sounds like Ball might actually be back as well, so they should always have a good playmaker on the court. I hope they keep blowing it up though. They may be fun to watch but fun isn't gonna win them a title.

This QB class looks ridiculously deep. CBS has 12 QBs in their top 80. Depending on how well Williams does in this toughhhhh stretch of games coming up, I think I may consider looking at taking a QB in the 2nd round and making it a legit QB competition between that guy and Fields under a new head coach.

He has, but he was still fitting balls into tight coverages and putting the ball where it needs to be regardless. He really hasn't really feasting on wide open throws because said teams are bad.

Man... I think I posted just a few days ago that I'd still draft Williams, but if Justin keeps playing like this for 12 more weeks, I think you gottttta stick with him....Again, this assumes 12 more weeks of looking like an MVP candidate. If they can do Moore type trade again for an impact DLineman that'd be huge....Like replace Moore with Maxx Crosby or something.

Here's an interesting thought...Let's say the Fields turns it around and Carolina gets us the #1 pick. I think, I still take Williams and trade Fields. Having a QB on a rookie contract is still a huge benefit in the NFL.

Lincoln Rileys agent is......Trace Armstrong.

Man, I was starting to believe for a minute. Not believe that they were playoff caliber, but believe they were not all that bad. I know Denvers D is the hottest of all garbage, but Justin was still making plays he needed to start making regardless of how bad their D is. Made a few tight coverage throws which we haven't really seen much of and he was throwing in the face of some pressure. Regardless of how bad their D is, the pressure and tight coverage on some of those throws was encouraging. Those last 2 turnovers though and just the overall loss totally killed my good vibes though.

Ehhhhh, I'll pass. He's 32 and the Bears, on paper at least, are good at guard. Kmet signed an extension. 3 years 50 million with 34 guaranteed. I like it. Kmet last year, on a team that threw it less than any other team in the league finished 13th in yards, 3rd in TDs, and among the top 13 TEs he finished 5th in YPC. Arguably a top 10 TE with those numbers last year, I think this year he makes an unquestionable leap into the top 10.

Wonder if a trade of a guard is looming.

Bulls are said to be in on Wood with the Heat and Lakers interested as well. He'd definitely make the team more interesting.
