I’m obviously in the minority but I’m not a fan of what Atlanta did, especially adding rondo. I think rushing a rebuild is a recipe for disaster. I think getting rid of Boylen and if OPJ stays healthy the bulls will be better.
Rondo will probably suck bad but they still have a nice team. Bulls got a better shot at winning the lotto than playoffs

Had Rondo not gotten hurt in 2017 Bulls would have came out of the East.

Atlanta acquired all the difference makers for a team who is aiming to jump from lottery to playoff contention. Bogdanovic, gallinari and rondo are all great additions.
Even the kinda first 6 and 7 teams look locked in the east, I would ve very surprised if they dont make the playoffs.

Re: Which team is more likely to make the playoffs this year? Atlanta or Chicago?
Do you like the White/Lavine as the starters guard double?
I am under the impression would be a killer scoring, little playmaking, and no defense backcourt.

White averaged like 26 ppg in his last 10, so i could see them both over 20 ppg this season.Richard4444 wrote:Do you like the White/Lavine as the starters guard double?

To be honest I really don't see either team making the playoffs tho.

The Bulls may be the worst team in the East. So I don't know how this topic could be in question.

I agree. I think the Bulls have a greater chance to be the worst team in the East than to make the playoffs.
jonjames is a signature bet welcher.

It's hard to tell. Hawks have better guards and forwards duos, better center, better bench and coach, but everything else is in Bulls favor.

I am a Bulls fan but read that Atlanta is considered the most improved team.
Pat Williams will be slow to develop.
How well the Bulls do will depend entirely on Markannan getting back to Rookie form. Otto Porter staying healthy.
Patrick Williams being the world's fastest learner or student; Coby White becoming super good; Lavine staying healthy,
and Wendell Carter developing his confidence and game. I can also see Gafford improving a ton.
Our only vets are Young and Temple; and possibly Porter, and possibly Lavine, who are pretty young.
