Hahaha I both can't stop laughing at and scratching my head at "White is like reagge musician" hahahaha
Just casually tossing in some thinly veiled racism. Isn't the first time with that particular poster. You now that is cap. White is good soul, good kidd but he is more about recovering his hair in the game and not about covering his man or handle

Let's keep it about the team and players and not attack posters. If you feel a poster is being disruptive or problematic, use the report function. Thank you.

Your comment on Coby is very inappropriate, and thinly veiled racism. You also have a history piling up.

Horrific.

Hopefully we trade him.

I'm tired of him.

He's an offensive player and he needs touches to be an effective player, then the other aspects of his game will open up , I think Lavine is the ball hog and his stalling Lauri's development as a player . I think he will flourish as a player in some other system , when he gets adequate role , He doesn't have to be an all star player but he will be a very productive offensive player, useful piece on the good team .
Lauri takes more shots than anyone not named Lavine. More shots than Coby White the "chucker" on the team. He takes almost 16 shots per 36. That is only 4 less than his all star teammate who is one of the elite scorers in the league.

He is 8th in fg% on the team and 4th in 3 point percentage.

In what bizarre world would anyone recommend he needs more shots?

Lavine has been purposeley passing up shots to get the ball to Lauri when they are on the court together.

Stay on the outside please. Don't come in here and feed the "Zach vs. Lauri" BS. They are on the same team. No one is holding Lauri back except Lauri.

Its the matter of when he get those opportunities to score, often he's overlooked on the offense and has to wait for his share , I don't see a lots of of plays set for him , even your broadcasting commentator Stacey King (by the way he's the one of the best, one of the reasons I watch Bulls games sometimes), used to point out that during the broadcasts , he's often out of the rhythm, you have to involve him in the offense from the get go. It can't be just Lavine show on the offense.

You think Stacey King is one of the best in the business? Maybe from an entertainment standpoint. Certainly not as an analyst.
The Bulls run plays for Lauri to start almost every game and every 3rd quarter. When he goes 1 for 10 or isn't playing well, they can't run plays for him...because he can't stay on the floor.

That's been consistent with his career to date. He really is a black hole.

He just doesn't do enough consistently to be an above average starter. I know his shooting numbers are career highs across the board but he still just feels so streaky. Most of his 3s are what I would consider 'wide open' but whenever he shoots I never feel confident that those are going in for sure and I also don't feel defenses are necessarily panicking either

Lauri to bench? Vuce+Thad starting and Lauri+Theis from bench. Prob they try Vuce+Lauri first.

Man I'm so happy we got competence at C now. The lanes will be like the red sea with Lauri and vuc

Lauri was the second best bet rating on the bulls since the starting lineup change even with his recent struggles. Adding vuc can only help. pG can be upgraded in the off season

Thad has been great but it really makes sense to play him lesser minutes from the bench. He has shown he can be very effective that way, and it seems to me that the increase in minutes is beginning to wear on him. Since it appears that the Bulls are seriously pushing for the playoffs, it is best to keep Thad as fresh as he can be. Of course, if need be there should be changes.

Nobody had a 2nd rounder to spare. I look at Lauri as a playoff rental now. He can be our 6th man off the bench!

Lauri should have a much better run after the trade deadline. WCJ was dead weight in the paint. This will reaaaally open up lanes for him and we saw how good he looks when he doesn't just look for the catch and shoot. If he commits to cutting to the paint there will be lanes thanks to Vucevic

Bulls just brought in two guys that immediately take the pressure off Lauri to do anything but score 22 a night on 12 shots. Let's see what he does.
