2022-2023 Bulls IGT Megathread

[Scoot26]

Like I said in preseason, Bulls are in prime midseason form already

So they're gonna go 8-74 this year.

If you recall, I wasn’t overly on board with signing lonzo. I was highly skeptical of the signing. Not sure where the hindsight claim is coming from.

Bulls can’t blow it up anyways. No one would be dumb enough to trade for Ball. Zach still has some real value though, but like I said…still too early to panic. Def not a good start though missing the first game of the season after resting for 10 consecutive days

You weren’t on board because he had a bad knee that wasn’t bad at the time?? Impressive

Not impressive at all. He’s been injury prone his entire career. He averaged 54 games per season before signing with the Bulls. Not exactly a surprise he hasn’t been healthy.

More importantly, it was obviously known that Lonzo’s knee was fubarred this past off season and he was way behind schedule. Hence, my concern giving Zach so much $$$ who also has knee concerns. Tying up so much $$$ in your back court with guys who have knee issues carries a lot of risk. That has nothing to do with hind sight, just an evaluation of their current situation when they signed Zach in the summer. I hope it works out.

0-82, lose the lotto and get #5, pick goes to Orlando.

I have an issue with the lack of transparency. First they withheld that Lonzo couldn't even walk up stairs or run without pain until a month before the season and now something funky is going on with LaVine (load management for game 1? ).

Not to mention that the Vuc trade was terrible and Pat hasn't panned out. The honeymoon is over.

Tend to agree with you. Would much rather have WCJ and the two first round picks than Vuc. This team isn’t close to competing. Even with Vuc, DeMar, and Zach, they’re likely not even a 45 win team. The draft capital would have been nice. The trade didn’t work out the way they thought and passing on Halliburton for Pat looks horrendous currently.

Again, the knee was good the season heading into Lonzos FA. If you didn’t like the signing, fine…but nobody was complaining about the contract given to him due to previous injuries.

The fact the Bulls are playing Dragic and Caruso together is depressing. Dragic really shouldn’t be getting PT and Caruso shouldn’t be starting. Why would BD have a rotation that they’re both in together? Dumb. You’re really handicapping yourself playing them both together strictly from a talent standpoint. They’re not very good

 

[knoxville7]

And right on cue Dragic starts shooting lights out lol

 

[knoxville7]

Less coby, more Dragic and Dalen Terry please(Terry hasn’t even seen the court yet)

Less Caruso too. He’s been abysmal

Was not expecting Dragic to turn back the clock like that lol

Caruso at least provides defense and hustle and IQ when not hitting shots, but agree he needs to pick it up offensively

 

[knoxville7]

Overall a solid first half considering their starting backcourt is missing and demar didn’t go off. Really like the way Ayo is playing. 59-59 at the half

 

[Enasic]

His IQ doesn’t help when he’s turning the ball over. Hes prone to really dumb passes. He has to already have 3-4 turnovers in the 1st half.

That’s true, the turnovers from a vet can’t continue. Bulls only had 6 turnovers in the 1st half and 4 were from Caruso. The other two were Vuc and Coby

Honestly don’t know why Green didn’t get the start. He should be playing more than Caruso, IMO.

 

[zack54attack]

Ayo looks really good.
Vuc stinks.

Caruso had 4?!?! Yeesh

 

[Enasic]

Caruso needs to stop cheating off of Hero so much. He’s had quite a few good looks so far but luckily for the Bulls he’s missed them

 

[zack54attack]

DeMar is cookin in the third.
