Ball’s injury sealed the fate of this team. There were memorable moments with DeMar. I’m all in for the youth movement. He will ball in Sacramento.

[@johnf853]

Injury’s have plagued the bulls for like 16 years now!

[@reggiebanksrb10]

Yeah sucks that he kind of had the end of his prime wasted cause the team couldn’t function as a whole. Luckily he has a mostly grounded Game, I think he’ll keep up the same level of play for at least this upcoming season. Obviously he won’t need to score as much, but I think he’ll be a great secondary ball handler and facilitator as well as a closer down the stretch. Him and fox are the best 4th quarter scorers in the league. It’ll take some adjustment time but I think SAC will be at least a 5 seed. Deebo is a hall of famer.

DeMar was sometimes frustrating but there's no question he was the best Bull during his tenure here. Just put his head down and went to work, and you could always feel his impact on the floor. Plus he stayed in shape and was pretty much always healthy, which I really appreciate in this age of load management. Wishing him all the best in Sacramento!

@@brandondaigle6018 Bulls wouldn't go anywhere if they got Huerter and Barnes. Bulls didn't want Barnes, that's why they involved Spurs in trade. You should look the big picture, if Bulls can trade Lavine, Vuch and Lonzo, before 2025 free agency, they would have the largest room in salary cap, and it will making them active in FA. AKME don't target picks, they target big space on salary cap before 2025 FA

So basically trade both our star players a year after Zo's injury and after only the second year as the roster was constructed? So Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown's value were high 2 years ago also, should the Celtics have traded them?

@@user-sg2gl7xy9yMy whole point was that just because you have a player that's peaking and value is high, yiu don't just trade them. That's nonsense. You try to make them apart of your foundation. Zach is not a number one option, but if he was in the right system and got his mind right, he could be a number two option for. He's an allstar sir and will ball on his next team if the right system. Remember there were trade rumors with Brown and Tatum at one point and Celtice stuck it out and Brown got better as well as Tatum. Chemistry is a real thing

Crazy to say, I’ve been a bulls fan for 33 years or so, I think he is one of the best bulls of all time. Think about how many games he single handily won. Only three years, but a very large impact. Very professional amidst the weirdness of the bulls organization.

I can express my admiration and respect for Demar, for all his done and brought to the Bulls organisation on and off the court! From all those 4 players you mentioned, he'll be missed More then the other, in my opinion ofcourse!!! 😢! I wish him nothing but the best in his last couple of good years in his basketball Carrier!!! I love you, Demar! And God Bless you , your charmy daughter,and of course your relatives and Family!!! I'm sad, but that's part of the business, basketball and Life!!! Go Bulls!!!

[@user-ic7rj3dw7e]

DeRozan was one of my favorite players even before he signed for the Bulls, mainly for the guy he is off the court. And I think its safe to say he exceeded everyone's expectations here. He was great But I have to say, these past 3 years have turned me into a basketball nerd lol. He plays an ancient style of basketball. I appreciate his time here but I'm so happy he's leaving and we can become at modern basketball team. Mid range shooting being our only answer to everything was driving me crazy... I wish him the best but I believe that next season will be the most entertaining season of bulls basketball in 4 years

[@scottlarock7924]

It's also going to be really rough for us as fans to see Demar start to pass the ball again. I am sure that he will give the ball up to Fox and Sabonis and Malik Monk.

[@Manuel-vz3cu]

I fell in love with team when they got lonzo demar and Caruso, I was very hyped in the beginning of that season. Sad to see this unexplored potential but some things are not meant to be.

I’m excited to see this new version of Bulls. I know it’s going to be hard to move on from Lavine and Vucevic contracts. I say let them play out the season on the team to get their value up(especially Lavine) and trade them at the deadline. Maybe even Lonzo. I don’t see any team trading away players and picks late into free agency now. But weirder things have happened.

[@3912James]

Lavine won't play injury free by the time the next February trade line arrive. Bulls should have parted ways with Lavine when the Knicks showed interest.

[@jtwilliams8895]

Demar was a great Bull, and he did steal some games for the team. But there’s a reason no one besides the Bulls wanted to give him $40 million per year, or $30 million per year last contract. I’d like to know what AKME were thinking when the offered him 2/$80 million. I almost wish he took the offer and this would be a luxury tax team. The second round picks are ok, but I don’t see them convincing anyone to take Lavine

[@tarekt8427]

The team was not built or coached correctly. But as you said. DD has been one of the most consumate professionals. Class act. Really someone that is easy to root for. I wish him well and was already realizing a part of me roots for the kings to win the championship.

According to KCJ the 2year 80 million deal was contemplated by the front office but not actually offered to Deebo

[@BullsCentral]

Let’s do both!

[@josephgreen518]

He was a professional shooter. Only if he had played consistent defense. That’s why Toronto could never break the glass ceiling until he left and San Antonio was insignificant during his tenure there, but he was nice. He is not the type of player to change your fortune. That is what happened when Lonzo Ball went down.

[@Jvega095]

Hopefully the bulls learn from there mistakes and I think they are slowly doing that, going younger and signing a nice backup center in Jalen smith, I totally understand bulls fans being upset about being to late to go this direction but better late then never, I do think in a few years we may be looking at a much better bulls team and having lots of fun in the years coming. See red and go bulls!

[@scottlarock7924]

As if Zach wasn't mad enough, or at least uncomfortable enough . . . DeMar DeRozan getting his flowers as a Bull, as a teammate and a mentor and a consistent and clutch performer. The trade needed help and the San Antonio Spurs stepped in and did him a solid! The Flowers that Lavine gets, when he eventually moves to another team, is going to be a complicated basket. And the scrutiny of the return that he gets for the bulls is going to go on the bulls front office first, but it's going to trail off and the stink is going to stay on Lavine until he plays his way out of it.

Best free agent Bulls have signed, We didn't think he would have grown to be a consistent leader. We got his best yrs 100%.

[@Spaghettineck]

Ay don’t sleep on Chris Duarte . The man is a sniper and can slash here and there

[@leelee7334]

It was time for Demar to move on; he had some really good games but I believe the reason we suffer so much is because he was the best player on the team. This is why Toronto had to move him. When he needed to show up like the playoff series with Milwaukee, he was no where to be found. Held to 10 points. Two years in a row in the play in, second game, where was he. Where the 50 point game at...He's good during the middle of the season in Dec but he is no where to be found in April. I don't hate him as a player but he can't be your no. 1 maybe not even 2 if you want to win. It'll be interesting to see how he is going to work in Sac. He's their problem now.
