You sounded optimistic that Jalen Smith would be a Bull yesterday. Love this signing.

[@Thisisafineday]

The Bulls going young is making me happy, each move is more about the future than it is about right now. So I love each signing and hoping we are not too good this year so we can get a top 5 pick.

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

These moves are about tanking.

[@silver33]

They should have done this sooner.

[@Thisisafineday]

@@silver33 And I should have bought Apple in 2003, but here we are!

[@corroneldridge2172]

The bulls don't have a 1st round pick unless the blazers make the playoff and their pick is conveyed to 1-14, the bulls don't have a 1st or 2nd round pick in 2025

[@Thisisafineday]

@@corroneldridge2172 Bulls 2025 1st is 1-10 protected. This is why we tank this season. I think the Portland pick is what the bulls are trying to attach with Lavine.

[@lyndonarmstrong616]

He is a Orlando Woolridge clone and that's a good thing love this signing been hoping we could get him in the season I felt like he was under used

[@emiliothepoet]

Agreed!

[@carvellwilliams7822]

B+ I think the Chicago Bulls are in a rebuild with younger guys,I think this is a great move.🏀💪💯

[@anthonycordaro93]

Congrats on the 8K subscribers! Thanks for hopping on so quick and breaking this down.

[@wr1791]

A good signing, don’t trade Vooch for cheap, his value actually should go up as his contract gets shorter.

[@NachoJA]

Love the move

[@kevinsmith8003]

Are you kidding me!! I "LOVE" this signing👍👍. Finally, the Bulls sign a 6'-9"/6'-10" Stretch Power Forward/Center who has a great all-around game.... If he stays healthy and continues to have great all-around production, both OFFENSIVELY and DEFENSIVELY, then he could be the best Athletic Center that the Bulls have had since the Artis Gilmore days of the mid-to-late 1970s.

[@silver33]

If they are able to move Vooch and Zach, then they'll have a good off season. I'm wondering if a win now team would take both of them.

[@perparimdushi4520]

Hope the Bulls get Wiseman ❤

[@KILLACOCHIESE704]

Me too

[@jaredperry23]

Love this signing!

[@juanjuan799]

Jalen Smith, is an excellent Player. He is to me a future Power forward. Good pick Up, by the Bulls.

[@Rock0531]

Things moving in right direction. See Red

[@JohnwayneNOgacy]

Can’t even lie this is move gets an A. Been wanting Jalen Johnson on the Bulls since he was in phoenix

[@4T1sAvAgE]

Finally let's build the future good work 👏

[@eddiecriss6173]

Yes Sir.. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Big Ten😊

[@karlosprice7606]

Solid move!!

[@ricardoong5553]

I love this move

[@carlitoswayallday]

Made 8k, congrats🎉 I think it's a B move, but if they trade Vooch I'll change it to an A move

[@jeffbartlett8565]

Excited

[@miketricoli8288]

Would love to see Issac in a Bulls uniform!!!!

[@brightdaemcee]

I love this Kid!!!!!

[@emiliothepoet]

Honestly I don’t touch it’s a rebuild as much as it is signing young players with potential. I think Jaylen is going to be great paired with Josh Giddey and the rest. He’s got a ton of upside with the Bulls he will get the minutes assuming BD doesn’t ruin it!

[@773BangLS]

Bulls did a good job at signing this Center but the Bulls need a center that can produce 15 points 10 rebounds constantly

[@luizmarceloferreira]

Jalen Smith, i think the good choice!🎉

[@azpatriot311]

HUGE PICKUP!!! A- for 9 million a year especially seeing hartenstein get 29 a year

[@jeromewortham3848]

I like the youth movement, but I have this question. Is Billy Donovan the right coach to develop these guys? Jalen Smith and Patrick Williams are on good contracts…they still need a PF/C type so Williams can play SF.

[@buddy1006]

The problem is KLUTCH Sports. Only the lakers and the Bulls tend to work well with this agency. Unfortunately, the Bulls now have Lavine, Lonzo, and Jalen Smith now all looking to sit out while collecting massive contracts. SMH.

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

You have to bring in young tradable players on low contracts for bigger moves down the line. To make a move for a Giannis or someone else like that, to move the bar, you need young players.

[@Byron-t6h]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 why we don't need giannis plus that big contract u goof we still have giddy I'm happy with only being 21 being 6'8 guard who averaged 16-17 not reaching his full potential

[@Byron-t6h]

We already have good pieces going forward

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

@@Byron-t6h This is a tank. The young core story line is only good if you have a building block. Viewing the current Bulls roster, I don't think any player on the young core of the Bulls is better than the 2017 Laker young core Do you realize the Lakers young core, in 2017, was far better than any of this Bulls young core? These players were all on the Lakers team the year before Lebron came. - Julius Randle - 22 - Kyle Kuzma - 21 - Jordan Clarkson - 25 - Josh Hart - 22 - Ivica Zubac - 20 - Brandon Ingram - 19 - Lonzo Ball - 19 - Thomas Bryant - 19 - Alex Caruso - 23 - Larry Nance Jr - 24 - Dangelo Russel - 21 Don't get too hype on the concept of a young core unless you have a building block for that. And I don't see it at this time. They have to get one. A Cooper Flagg. These players added are just for displaying skills for a trade or to see who fits best around a building block.

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

@@Byron-t6h You will realize later why a big contract is inevitable. I don't think any player on the young core of the Bulls is better than the 2017 Laker young core before Lebron came. - Julius Randle - 22 - Kyle Kuzma - 21 - Jordan Clarkson - 25 - Josh Hart - 22 - Ivica Zubac - 20 - Brandon Ingram - 19 - Lonzo Ball - 19 - Thomas Bryant - 19 - Alex Caruso - 23 - Larry Nance Jr - 24 - Dangelo Russel - 21 Don't get too hype on the concept of a young core unless you have a building block for that. And I don't see it at this time. They have to get one. The Celtics did not have to start out like this when they added Tatum and Brown. They won 53 games before they came as they had Smart, Horford, Thomas, and Terry Rozier. They joined a winning culture. No very young team wins anything but a tank.

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

@@Byron-t6h Also, Giddey doesn't play defense and he has to learn how to play next to another star. Because he thinks he has to be the Star or leader and I'm not sure Coby will go for that and that's the dilemma with having a lot of young players. Giddey may collect triple doubles on a losing team. Making players better may not mean anything with losses coming and that's the road OKC had to decide. Stats or Wins? Not saying Josh is not a good player because I'm high on him but we haven't seen if he impacts winning yet. The trade for Caruso was great. But Caruso impacted winning even though he didn't score a lot.

[@BallGuy-pm8pz]

Pels Valenchunas to the Wizards. Vuc to the Pels? Harkenstein to OKC. Vuc to Knicks? This will get busy really fast as teams desperately try to fill voids to replace players lost. Sac is going after Brandon Ingram.

[@MassiveVictories]

This guy is 1000 times more professional than haize. Haize steals his analysis from the comment section.

[@davidpaulson6005]

I wouldn't say I give Julia Smith a I would give him a B+ on the Bulls bring in Brandon Ingram and Jordan Hawkins in that trade for voots Julius Phillips and davari Carter to the Pelicans with that trade and two future draft picks for 2026 and 2025

[@thangyselfmade7028]

It says more about Lavine then Paul George

[@CBPfilm]

This is why I'm hating all the moves made..... they should have started this last year like i said in a better draft

[@mannyvalentin1158]

Vuc is good as gone

[@goatmode7317]

Ummmm What happened to AK and where did he go Another good move is wild He couldn’t have done this

[@popeshaves5310]

A this would have been my choice

[@Alean-rj7iz]

Vooch,Craig and Carter to NO for BI

[@elbertbenton2744]

Now trade Vooch and Lavine. Sign Wiseman

[@mikenintendomaster5500]

I think this was a meh sign also to all those who say we will get a top 5 pick maybe but nothing set in stone I don’t like how young we are getting we did this in 2018-20 and we sucked I don’t want to go back to that and we are draft pick those years where trash

[@davidpaulson6005]

I know it's going to sound crazy I would do a trade to the Pelicans get two people for voots and that's it Brandon Ingram and Jordan Hawkins and a future round pick for boots Javari Carter and Julius Phillips❤

[@dorianmorgan3137]

I'm totally against a rebuild 🏀 because you risk having a decreased fan base and you risk becoming the laughing stock of the league 🏀 if the youth movement fails miserably? Chances are the management will need a rebuild of 🏀 operations 🤷🏽‍♂️ the X factor this upcoming season is Lonzo Ball running the 2nd unit, if healthy the Bulls are in good hands if Ball is Balling 🏀 with them at 💯% 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@leajunequinnfantroy7167]

The bottom line the Bulls are still a VERY SMALL TEAM!

[@larryjam9013]

I like. TrADE VOOCH. YOUNG AZZ HOST. LISTEN TO YOUR ELDERS
