I just think we are going to start slow. So many new pieces, we don't come in with continuity.
We don't come in with Portis/Mirotic.
Lopez will be traded at some point if he keeps playing like this, but we are 5-25 or some abomination due to missing Portis/Mirotic/Lavine.
Once Lopez is gone, Portis/Felicio/Lauri are going to be holding down alot of defense and rebounding, good luck. Lavine is good, so when he returns from his ACL at 100% right off the bat(sarcasm), I'm sure we will start tearing up the league with our guard tandem.
This is gonna be bad, despite what I saw against Cleveland....actually making them straighten their spines and dig deep to beat the Bulls.
Lets not forget the history of the Bulls medical team, and bringing players back slowly. Lavine will be on a minutes restriction.
