The Bulls have like 9-10 players under 25. I dont want to hear anymore Bulls complain if they give last roster spots to few veterans

[@nubastyle]

Facts 💯. All I wanted personally, was more SIZE in our frontcourt also with athleticism. We got a STEAL/GOOD VALUE and it gives him a chance to earn more in a couple years at 9 Mill a year. I would say get ONE MORE MOBILE BIG MAN if we can, to replace Vuc's height and help with defending Wemby in the near future. Matas only weighs 197lbs and is primarily a SF that can possibly play PF and be interchangeable at 6.9. Basically a mobile 7 Footer, even off the bench, would suffice. OR.... A another interchangeable SF Back up that can 3 & and D, *even if its an older vet.*

[@zionsho]

Demar was tremendous for these young guys, wish we could've keep him

[@Drift4Drifters]

We are gonna tank deep, one way or another

[@princedejour2686]

I will complain since when does age make you a good team! Too many dudes on here don't know sports and have never played any organized ball! The Bulls should have traded DeMar and Drummond last year and could have had at least 4 plus draft picks! Now it looks like they will get nothing! I watched OKC and Dallas and Josh Diddy can't shoot or play defense! The Bulls also got no draft picks from OKC that has 20.plus picks in the chamber! See young does not mean good unless you have talented players in an organization that needs how to cultivate and help them grow as players and as men!

[@chillyoungapex8545]

@@princedejour2686ur so dumb we know were not going to be good build for the future

[@YKBOOGIEEE]

Good signing by the bulls. Also before i forget, i feel like PG13 fits better with the sixers instead trying to fit in with a very young roster on the orlando magic. Hopefully the bulls are able to move zach and Vuc but I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt happen right away.

[@spazzout6st]

Trade vooch back to Orlando. (No diddy ) I’ll take some of them pieces over there

[@zionsho]

Any center we could've draft, I would want them to do what Jalen already brings.

[@caughtem87]

Keeping Lavine isnt the worse thing in the world at all. I know what the last few years looked like, but he is still capable of elite scoring. All I want from him is consistency. Lavine is still totally capable of being our guy. Lonzo and Lavine gotta be drooling to get back and prove haters wrong. IM HERE FOR IT!

[@wrldofgod6321]

Arguing over inches is wild 🤪

[@Nate-q4q]

I didn’t realize till today Vooch and Marko playing side by side for FIBA

[@lyndonarmstrong616]

Jalen Smith is a Orlando Woolridge clone same player and i love this signing this is a win

[@princedejour2686]

That dudes is nowhere as good as Orlando! May he Rest in Heaven

[@--ArcAngel--]

Tory Craigs face during the double dunk...😂😭😂 ...aaahhh...getting a stomach cramp from laughing! 😂😂😂 The look in his eyes! 😭😂😭

[@--ArcAngel--]

Agree we cannot be giving away the draft capital. The Portland pick tho, may as well. Recently checked the details on the Portland pick and was shocked to find that if it doesn't convey by 2028 (I think?) it only turns into ONE second round pick. One?? Ridiculous.

[@glennjosephbrophy]

How Will What The Bulls Are Doing Affect Undrafted Free Agents Such As Former National Champion UConn Huskie And Most Outstanding Player Of The NCAA Tournament Adamo Sanogo And Illinois Fighting Illini Whose Illini Made It To The Regional Final...Including A Triple Double In The First Round Of The NCAA Tournament...Marcus Domask???

[@kelceymccray7334]

I like the goggles Jalen Smith remind me of (Horace Grant Orlando Woolridge Roy Tarpley Thurl Bailey Moses Malone Hakeem Olajuwon). But this is a good pick

[@Drift4Drifters]

Im really sad for losing Dru, but it was predictable. He has been treated as sub spare center with 15 minutes per game, he deserves a better coach, and hes not old, so he can achieve real things in the league. This tanking season will be really deep.

[@CDMOutreach]

We should package our big 3. Some combination of Zach/Derozan/Vuc and I think we should go after Ayton in Portland

[@earlyoung3568]

Feeling younger and actual winning are two different things. So effectively we are okay with losing for two years MORE while they mature. You all better understand that when the new money comes in, Coby, Ayo and Giddy will be taking their talents elsewhere.

[@hamville773]

Can we please get some defensive big men who can score in post and rebound too many guards you have to stop somebody. I understand Zach is not a one why not get the other two stars before you get rid of him for nothing. Zach is not the reason why we are so bad.i understand development but still need some actual good now players. I want to know why the training staff is always ruining players careers for years.

[@ciccio40105]

I want to keep Lavine. He'll fit this new team so much better. Demar was slowing the game which plays against Lavine's game

[@wyatt2439]

Bring Back Lauri Markannen

[@R_Hall]

I think Zach is gonna go crazy this season no matter what uniform he wears this season.

[@emiliothepoet]

Love the signing! Excellent signing by Chicago this is exactly what they needed. He can start at the 4 and slide PWill at the 3 plus takes pressure off PWill from being the rebounder he’s proven he isn’t!

[@305mikemagee]

That’s what I was thinking!! Giddey/Coby/Pat/Jalen/Vuc

[@relax5337]

He going to have to waive trade kicker. The lakers are coming. Lebron is not running that same team back

[@V.O_23]

The Dynamic Duo!

[@rjonesy3480]

Pacers fan, you guys will like him a lot.

[@dionbamazing]

I like this signing

[@danielstone153]

Smith fits the age of all the rest of the kids

[@breadwinner92]

Haize reaction to when pat said Zach might have to get buyout😂 but seriously I'm with Haize on this team might circle back to a Zach trade as a backup plan because it make no sense waiting for the trade deadline Zach could get injured again and we still going to lose with him on the team which tanks his trade value even more so what's the point

[@emiliothepoet]

Yup but he has zero trade value.

[@breadwinner92]

@@emiliothepoet well there's always a desperate team that's looking for extra offense or a team that's strikes out on the big names 🤔

[@Drift4Drifters]

About Lavine, isnt about the winning ratio, isnt about attitude, isnt about salary. Its all about reability. He became a pit of injuries. Really hard to another team make such dangeous move.

[@SpaceGate-sz9zq]

The last four years they’ve been stacking 18 the Lakers the Clippers have come up with nothing after six year. Boston won one championship. Dallas has one championship. Golden State has been crushing everybody.

[@ecobean3440]

I like Jalen Smith. I'm not saying he will be an All Star but he has lots of untapped potential. As his role increased so did his production at Indy. At Phoenix, he was stuck behind Ayton, and Indy was behind Myles Turner. 9 mill per yr is a gr8 contract for someone on the upswing of their career. The Bulls will need his rebounding, help defense in the low post, and a big who runs the floor well. AK is doing a good job so far with drafting Matas, and signing Jalen. Now he has to get a good return for Zach and DeMar and the rebuild will be complete.

[@Yocara]

Really happy we are stoping Continuity !!

[@Drift4Drifters]

Keep the minutes of our starting 5 like in the last seasons and you will see a continuity (of injuries)

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

I'm a fan of your VIDEOS

[@3PointStansPod]

“Podcast beefing in the same label” 😂😂 Gotta love these brothers 🫡💯

[@edhotchilipepper]

Bwahahahaha!!!! Chris “Full Ash” Haynes!! 💀💀💀💀

[@relax5337]

Lakers will come knocking clay off the board

[@zionsho]

I can't think of a better signing or deal, this signing gets an A+ from me.

[@305mikemagee]

Zach is Bradley Beal with a cheaper contract. Should have convinced Phoenix to take him last season. I imagine the Nets would take him for Ben Simmons and picks. Nets could use him for a few years

[@DK-rk8ie]

Nah Brooklyn is tanking. They already have a flamethrower starter at SG in Cam Thomas

[@deshawnjohnson5237]

Hey now that valanciunas is traded from the pelicans could a vuc for engram trade work?

[@ramiroceniceros2633]

Ingram will helps us win and that’s not good. Plus bulls would prolly have to give up a pick or some

[@deshawnjohnson5237]

​@@ramiroceniceros2633 I figured the move could help a few ways get Vucevic off the books and he can slide in the small forward spot if DeRozan is gone.and he is still young enough to be part of the future

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

No way they’re taking Vuch for Ingram!

[@emiliothepoet]

Vuc for Ingram? They might be the most lopsided trade ever!

[@joshrindy1543]

Damnit I’m excited again
