Look how much that annoying bald f*ck Caruso helps them
we would all love that dude if he was on the knicks
Every team needs Caruso. He's the guy you sign instead of Fournier at almost half the price.

who would of thought good defenders matter???

I know we have Grimes and all but Lonzo would also be a great fit with Brunson

I would do IQ and Hart for Caruso, which saves them salary and gives them depth. They prob love Caruso though but they may go into sell mode in a month or so...

To be fair they are missing their PG and have a horrible coach. Talent wise they should be top 6 in the East easily. Hell their point differential is still very good.

I get the PG thing, but should a team be this bad while missing their third or fourth best player? Why are they paying their "big three" again? The big issue is that they have an Isiah Thomas team...get a bunch of "talented" scorers together who can't do anything else, and try to cram them together. They talked a lot about how Isiah Thomas collected talent too, but in my opinion, if your talent can't complement other players' talent, it's not that much of a talent because it caps your ceiling. Finally, their team has a history of choking in big moments, especially in the playoffs. Vuc and DeRozan are the classic examples of this.
I've been beating this drum for several years now. I have never been let down by the Bulls' ability to suck. Crap team.

I've never seen a GOAT who didn't play a lick of defense.
Nowitzki and Curry come to mind quickly.
Time is still on his side and these takes will age poorly. I do think there will be some move to help him break through. Hardaway, Dinwiddie and Powell aren’t resl playoff caliber players.
But Brunson and KP were. So who will he fit with?

This is where you messed up at. Lonzo is their 2nd best player. He's their 4th best scorer. Zach LaVine has NEVER been a winning player, anyone paying him is paying a lot of money for someone that's not helping them move into contention.

It really does give a sudden sense of direction in an otherwise aimless season. There's suddenly a clear sense of where they can improve and what they need to maintain for success.

It's finally a framework to evaluate through. We can now say whether Player X fits or not and have a clear sense of what we have vs. what we're missing.
