[@sykosomatik23]

100% agreed. Zach and Vuc are playing like all-stars. Zo has come back from his injury and is still great. Trading them would be a slap to the face. If the team is competitive to make the playoffs then let's let them show us what they're made of.

Give Zach the keys! I don't understand why we are so quick to trade this guy. He has bought in to the team concept and obviously likes being top dog now that DeMar is gone. Ball is looking like a keeper, filling the Caruso role while offering some offensive magic every now and then. We shouldn't be so quick to be the next Washington Wizards. Also, this team plays a much more entertaining game than the last two years. If only Kobe could find his rhythm. Give them another month or two together at least to see what they can accomplish.

Teade coby while his value is high he plays out of control. When hes hot he looks good but he shoots you out of games just like zach does sometimes.

Hold on to zach hes an elite all star caliber scorer that you can build around but bulls gotta do it now.

[@mitch761]

I wish my teams coach took things to heart like mazulla, championship mentality

[@jdh9676]

This team? AC was never a problem. He's a defensive ace and role player, he'd fit perfectly with this squad Giddey or no Giddey. He and 'Zo have wild chemistry, too. Bulls had 101 problems last few seasons and none were AC. DeMar and Zach together were a couple, however. PG and PF positions not being solidified another. All the usual Bulls stuff. But before thinking we could be "better" with or without this player or that player...many teams can do that, even contending ones...we have to factor in better than what, how so, and for how long? And what is it going to take to have sustained season over season winning success? THIS team has a short shelf life however good or bad it was with Vooch, Zach, AC, and especially DeMar on it. We have to remember its the same Bulls. We were never awful the last few seasons, always competed, excited to make the play in, would have made the playoffs two seasons ago if Billy Donovan knew how to close out games. The Heat and Jimmy Butler would never have gone on their post season run to the Finals. Bulls would have sent them home. So...are we "better," really? Maybe, maybe not. As fans we have short memories. But we could make the 2nd round of the playoffs this season and have a blast doing it...and thats our ultimate ceiling. For this team? Zach and Vuc ain't "it." They are for others. No future in Chicago, just biding time. We gotta let 'em go and move into our future asap. Beating the Celtics on a December night doesn't make us anything but...yesterdays Bulls. I'm happy we won. Now lets get Zach and Vooch gone.

[@NBAwasBetterInThesands]

Jamal. I enjoy your enthusiasm for our guys. With all due respect man. Your take on the 1st pick is the worst take you've ever had my man. That's why you hedged the comment. You can't underestimate the importance of at least having the best chance available at a franchise changing talent. No team wins a 🏆 without one, muchless truly compete for one. The reason this franchise continues to live off the past is because fans continue to accept the ridiculous money grabbing mediocrity and pretend something will change. I understand the need to be positive and frankly not concentrate the majority of your content on things that could burn bridges w those in the organization you speak with, but damn. This organization has to be held accountable by the fans. For the love of what the game was and should be, I make this argument. For someone who never missed a televised game for well over 40 yrs that I can remember, the league is unwatchable, and our team's ownership has even taken away our ability as fans to get lost in our team so we can forget just how bad the league actually is. Maybe I'm nieve old guy, but seeing something and saying something from the well seasoned and educated NBA supporters ultimately has to mean something in hopes of change. Truth be told, the league will never be remotely close in quality to what it was, and at this rate, neither will the Bulls until there is an ownership change. 🫡🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Never lose the enthusiasm 🍻✌️

[@Thisisafineday]

I think losing this top pick is a failure on the front office unlike anything we have ever seen. I know we want to cope and say "The draft could be a bust!" but I think we've seen enough talent coming into the league that we are gonna be so far behind in the NBA moving forward that we will not be relevant in this league for years moving forward. We should have tanked for Wemby, we didn't and now he is on track to being one of the best players in the world. We needed to tank for Flagg, he is gonna be a dog when he comes into the NBA. The Bulls continue to be mid and we will mid for years and years. This is BAD. If you want to be one of the best teams, you need a top player. You either get that in Free Agency (Players never want to come and play for a cheap franchises like the Bulls) or we draft a top pick. My ONLY hope is that our winning is raising the draft value of Lavine, Williams, Vooch, and whoever else we decide to trade. (I personally think we need to trade everyone. Literally get as many picks as possible.)
