Vuc in Health and Safety Protocol (Shams: Will be out 10 days/6 games)

[Just_Bullz]

Not the kind of news we wanna hear.

If Vuc is reading these forums, take care big vooch and come back as a stronger beast.

Let's kill this road trip.

Bradley will start, but I could see Alize having a big role here. He can pass, right? I could see him in the Thadgic Johnson role, on the short roll to the center of the key. Either shoot one of his push shots or kick it out to a shooter.

Demarcus Cousins would be a perfect signing. Especially since can sign for the vet min

[BloodyQ]

6 games??

That's brutal holy ****.

It does bum me out that we won't be full strength against GS, although maybe it'll allow us to play faster against GS.

For professional athletes in their 20s and 30s with world-class fitness levels, they're more likely to be negatively affected by the possible myocarditis and other heart condition side-effects from taking the vaccine than they would be from any symptoms of COVID-19.

Just FYI, this isn't true.

Myocarditis is 14 to 45 cases per million in young healthy males when vaccinated depending which study you look at. It's 150 per million overall for COVID-19 patients (and likely higher for young healthy males whom are the highest risk group for this, but I couldn't find the number split out for COVID-19 patients that was just young healthy males).

Most myocarditis developed is mild and resolves itself as well. Either way, your risk of dying from COVID-19 as a young healthy male, while still very small, is higher than your risk of myocarditis from the vaccine. From a simple risk reward context, your risks of COVID are dramatically higher than your risks from the vaccine even if you are young and healthy (though your risks from COVID are obviously much less in this case than they would be if not healthy or older).

People just love to spread there nonsense online don’t they

Ahh, COVID misinformation. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, real life, RealGM... No matter where you go, you can't escape it.

what I like about Marko is that he runs like a deer.

Look for him to get on transition and thunder home some cool dunks. lol

He hasn't looked particularly fleet of foot to me, and I don't think he's going to play even without Vuch.

Jahlil Okafor is also available. He's probably a safer option than Cousins, and at this point in his career is probably the better scorer. Without Vuc, we might find our lack of offensive depth catch up with us. Okafor would at least provide an additional offensive option.

I saw an ESPN ticker that said, OR test negative twice in 24hrs.

Boogie is the better offensive option than Okafor and could still drop 20 and 10 and even had a 28 17 and 5 game. If the Bulls were to sign someone, I would prefer Boogie

COVID will ruin many teams seasons this year

i feel like its near impossible not to get covid as an nba player with their travel.

Neither are they.

I don’t know… since his ACL injury he’s really been inefficient out there. FG% is way down, can’t get to the line as much, has clear mobility and conditioning issues. I could be talked into taking a gamble on him though.

I hope for Vuc’s sake he isn’t reading these forums. This forum has not been kind to him.

[Michael Jackson]

And of course there will be other Bulls who got it from Vuc before he was quarantined. As others have said, Vuc probably got it from the Sixers. Probably Embiid.

Philly really has the Bulls number, they are beating us even when we aren’t playing. That being said this was absolutely expected playing Philly back to back right before they all got vid positive. Nets and Mavs likely now are going to have the outbreak. No one wants to take care of a sick Boban.

[MGB8]

And if Bradley twists an ankle or caught it from Vuc....

AKME better go sign another big just in case of it all falling apart. If the Bulls want to make the playoffs in the hyper competitive east, blowing 3-4 games due to inadequate depth at any one spot is a really bad idea.

Matt Thomas is expendable given everyone else. Guys out there include Biyombo, Meyers Leonard, Okafor, Cousins (don't want), Giles, Henson, Aaron Baynes (but he's likely still hurt), Johnny O'bryant, Thon Maker, Skal Labissiere, Tarik Black, Oturu, Henry Ellenson, Marquese Chriss, Mahimni, Miles Plumlee, and, if he's back from Brazil... good old Felicio....

Big prayers up to Vuc as he battles this deadly runny nose/cough

Ignorant post alert. 5 million people worldwide have died form this runny nose/cough. Very few people have not had a connection to someone tragically affected by this global pandemic. And shame on the two people who liked this post as well.

Completely wrong, stop spreading this silly misinformation.

[HomoSapien]

Let’s stop turning this into an agenda thread and keep it strictly about the basketball implications for the Chicago Bulls. Thanks.

Interesting how it's 10 days, here in Australia we have to isolate for a week if we test positive and are double jabbed but two weeks if single dosed or unvaccinated.

How many games would he miss if it was a week?
