Chisoxfn Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Billy Donovan is reportedly calling assistant coaches and letting him know that he's starting his bench from scratch. Sounds like at least Rogers, Loenser, and Cooper are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I want the Ball family and Lamelo has his issues, but I think he has upside and Bulls need a playmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big red flag is now LaMelo only confirmed that he didn't speak to the Bulls and the only team he is confirming is the Knicks. I'd still take him if AK and Donovan think he's worth it, but lord have mercy, this family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a pandemic occurred and people know Ball rumors do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm super excited (and surprised) at the NBA announcement to open right before Xmas. As terrible as the Bulls are, I really miss watching my team place basketball. No idea how they are going to pull this off and I do expect we'll see a lot of stars sit as they just manage their body given the short off-season for those teams that went deep into the playoffs, but this path helps get NBA on a pretty good glide path to a normal start of the season for the 2021/2022 season.

Let's....see what the pandemic is doing then. Because if there's no bubble...a game where you bump up against someone for 30 minutes while breathing heavily indoors still has some problems.

scs787 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm really excited for the season. I still think this is a playoff team if healthy. I'm hoping they roll the dice with Deni in the draft if he's there. If he plays up to the scouting reports, I like the fit and I think he'd allow you to play Coby and Lavine at the same time a lot more without really worrying about ball movement. They have their trade exemption to use to add a vet, and I like Jae Crowder with that. Bring back Jo on a vet minimum PG- White-Sato SG- Lavine- Crowder SF- Deni-Porter PF- Lauri-Rookie guy from last year whose name escapes me C- Carter-Noah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordy, do I need this. I'm not a hockey fan and the Bears fail to excite me this season.

That was when the Bulls had a publicly attended draft at a Loop theater and Mo's family was there begging and pleading. But they drafted some bozo with lead toes who was soon gone. I don't even want to look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an insanely long stretch to try and entertain ourselves with bench coach rumors and version 223 of a mock draft. But that said once they clear up the schedule the condensed FA/draft period is going to be insanely fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 To me, Deni is the only guy that makes sense if Ball is gone. Still makes the most sense if Balls there too IMO. I'm really excited to see the development of White under Donovan and Cheeks. I'm not comparing the 2, but Westbrook attributes Cheeks to his development as a PG anddd Westbrooks best years were under Donovan. I'm not ready to give up on White as a starting PG. I think he turns into a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
