The Bulls could have traded Andre Drummond to the 76ers at the deadline for three second-round picks.
They decided not to and remained "competitive." Now, Drummond goes to Philly and the Bulls end up with nothing.

If the Bulls truly want a new starting C, Myles Turner makes a lot of sense, right?
An elite shot-blocker, a 34.9% career 3-point shooter, an improving rebounder, and only 26 years old. I totally get the Gobert interest, but Turner feels like the more cost-effective target.

Ayo Dosunmu had the length and lateral speed to be a solid defender, but I can’t believe he is this good this fast.
His on-ball D has been absurd. He’s hung with some of the best scorers in the league. Always moves his feet. Great timing on the contest.

Short Alex Caruso thread.
It’s hard to describe just how good he was across the court in Game 2. The defense (per usual) was tremendous. Ridiculously good hands and insane awareness to draw those charges.

The transition and fastbreak combo of Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine is becoming truly lethal.
LaVine’s speed and athleticism mixed with Ball’s natural instinct to keep his eyes up the floor creates such easy buckets.

If LaVine leaves, he leaves.

This Bulls team has to show up in Round 1.
DeRozan & White fight for the rebound. White dives on the floor. LaVine’s eyes are up the court. DJJ sprints out in transition. DeRozan hustles in case he can’t convert.
Extra effort + elite athleticism can lead to great things.

No one in the NBA this season has a better story than DeMar DeRozan.
Thought of as part his prime and not worth an $85 million deal (3-year), he is the 6th-leading scorer and top 4th-quarter bucket-getter.
DeMar is the reason the Bulls will enter 2022 as the East's top seed.

Quick Patrick Williams 🧵

The one thing the Bulls' new front office had going for them was that they picked a direction. They said winning was the goal.

This is the version of Coby White the Bulls front office expected. Add in his improved effort on the defensive end, and he is becoming such a scary option off the bench.
