Should have kept LaVine, moved Coby. For all of his faults, LaVine is more consistent.

That happens too often for my liking when all he can do is score

We agree

That why he is a great 6th man. He struggle against good defenders.

Really respect Coby the person but he's fulfilling being what I predicted when he was drafted. He's Lavine lite.
Not really an offensive hub, can score efficiently but not much else in his game to contribute when the shot isn't working.

1. Game slows down and less possessions in the playoffs. Less opportunities to run and fast break teams less effective.
2. Good coaches and proper game planning can exploit your best players weaknesses of which ours have many

The gap between the mid teams and even teams like the Knicks is pretty big. That's not even getting to the gap between the Celtics/Cavs and the Bulls. For the casual fan it looks like the Bulls are close because of how they played in the doldrums of the season but that's not really the case.

Coby and Vuc. Two players that will need to be moved this Summer.

This Coby performance reminds me of lot Zach’s weaknesses. Especially the inability to run the offense and horrendous defense.

We really arent creating any offense tonight. 14 asts 15 turnovers.

But Coby has disappointed me this game. They are playing good defense but he also isnt hitting bunnies. He will get better.

Now imagine this same game two years from now, but we're paying Giddey and Coby $35M+.

Get what you can for Coby and Vuc.

I would say PWill, too, but nobody is taking that contract.
Scottie Pippen's response to whom he would pick for his running mate, Michael or LeBron: "That's a dumbass question. I've never done anything with LeBron. I wouldn't take LeBron to the movies."

Giddey has been great, but he hasn’t been awful like most of the team. Our #1 crapped the bed.

Yeah. He can be a good piece for this team but he is a 6th man on a good team. It's just he's an upcoming expiring deal and they should not pay him what he likely wants($30m+), so listen to trade offers, or package him for a much better player.
