But really, just watch tonight and remember, any Bulls team that we have this year, next year, even year after next ... it's going to be a better team with DeMar than it would be without DeMar.

I actually like listening to opposing analysts lately because they often fawn over how professional DDR and how incredible a scorer he has been for 17 straight season. Refreshing to hear the man get his respect. He was amazing tonight; you can't win these games with a guy like DDR.

I'm entirely fine with keeping Demar because he seems like a positive influence and he's still a certified bucket scorer, especially in times we need it. He's always going to make life easier for the likes of Coby & Ayo. Any offseason plan needs to revolve around unloading Zach (and Lonzo) to free up cap room and moving Vuc for a modern day center.

I give billy some credit for rolling with the Terry lineup until about the 5 minute mark. Demar needs to have his usage monitored as he ages and if Terry is giving you good minutes, let it ride. I think a guy like that sometimes gets hot through osmosis when he sees Ayo going off, or maybe it's the same type of tempo both guys can excel at more times than not...

And how the hell is Bogey not starting.

I would love to see the Bulls sign a vet as another backup 5 (Robin Lopez?) and then deploy the twin towers with Vuc/Drummond more. The stretches we’ve seen them play together so far have been pretty successful.

I thought the same thing. He's done that a couple games now. They should keep doing it just to screw with him.

We'd have $112M to sign a completely new team.

Teams are rarely build through free agency these days. You often need to trade for difference makers in the modern era, so even with all the cap space, you would still need valuable assets to trade.

I mean, I think we can upgrade this roster plenty with just the 60M from the 2 guys who are rarely suiting up. It's just nobody wants to take them because one is apparently an injury prone loser, and the other has a high chance to be medically retired smh.

What a game by Ayo, 29 pts, who would have thought a couple of months ago that he was even capable of that ? He just keeps improving as the season progresses.

First he’s in very good shape, probably the best on the roster, he can play full energy no matter how long he plays and this season he’s actually using that and his physical strength to his advantage. His shot is actually falling, not like all the bricks he was throwing last year. Defense is usually good and finally his IQ has gotten a lot better. I hope he continues like this.

Solid game by Jevon Carter. Good defense on Trae, was sticking on him from full court. He made his 3s too . This is what we expected of him. Bulls need him to play like this,he can definitely help the bench a lot.

Craig I think is very important to this team, even more than Patrick. Defense, his 3 pt shooting are essential but most importantly he helps with rebounding. Let’s hope he stays healthy.

Terry and Drummond did their jobs tonight then obviously Demar 29 pts, Vuc 24 and 11(double double machine), and Coby 20 and 7 assists,took him a while to make an appearance but at least he finally made shots later in the game. Next up tough but winnable game in Cleveland.

My God the Hawks are horrible on defense.

I mean, horrendous. That cannot be overstated. Bulls are playing with nobody and they give up 136. What universe is this?

I'm actually quite surprised that they have been as bad as they have this season, because they aren't without talent, and I'm a pretty big fan of Quinn.

Yeah the guy has been awesome in Chicago and very professional. Deserves more respect from bulls fans. They wanted to trade him for second round picks. A DeRozan level talent is not easy to find or easily replace, even at 34. I think he’s earned an extension.

They allowed a ton of high scoring performances this season individually or as a team.

Ayo is typically ridiculously efficient, if only he could increase his scoring volume a bit he'd be a solid 6th/7th man.

And imagine we sign 9 international basketball superstars to vet min each…

Ayo has definitely gotten over the sophomore slump. Not sure he if he can be a high level starter, but he is gonna have a very good career. I was against re-signing him. Glad to be wrong about that.

I think a lot of people have written Dalen Terry off too soon. I REALLY like his skill set. I think by year 4 he could be starter level 3 and D wing for also has strong handles.

Terry is showing promise imo. He has gone from completely useless and clueless to competent since the beginning of the season. You can tell he works really hard on his game.

he should have the greenest of green lights for the rest of the season. he might hit a wall eventually but there's no reason not to see how much he can ratchet up the volume and still be effective

No because we would just end up overpaying a bunch a players. This isn’t NBA 2K.

I don’t think anyone doubts that we are better with DeMar. The debate is whether it matters.

Need him to work with Vuc now.
