The Bulls #1 target in free agency (after Lavine) will be Mitchell Robinson.
The Bulls were close to trading for Mitchell last trade deadline but ultimately decided to wait for free agency, similar to when they signed Lonzo instead of trading for him.

Mitchell Robinson work for anyone? 7 footer - 8pts 8 rebs almost 2 blocks per game.

Great. But the Bulls will have to get more creative than that. DeAndre Ayton interest anyone? I have a feeling this NBA offseason is going to be wild. I’m not sure Durant and/or Kyrie will remain in Brooklyn.

Lavine is not a max player on a competitive team. If you made him the #1 on any of the conference finals teams would they still be there?

I think they need a complete rebuild. Vuc needs to GTFO. Demar will never be better than he was this year. They’re a few years off and few of these guys will be on the roster if/when they’re competitive.

Vuc makes 22 mil per year and comes off the books after nexr year. Derozan has an option after next year and probably will be gone in 2. Neither are part of the long term plans. Sign and trade with Lavine is their best play. He is the only guy on the roster with any real trade value other than Patrick Williams. Move him now and you can get real assets back. Pay him max or close to max money and you guarantee yourself no better than 6 place in the conference going forward.

The Bulls would have beaten Milwaukee if Lavine was 100 percent. People forget he was basically at 75% capacity since January.

Bulls got skullfucked.

Not sure what your point is. The Bulls are better than the Middleton-less Bucks if Lavine was 100 percent.

That's fine but a different argument. I don't think the Bulls at perfect health can beat GS but they can beat Boston. If they add a big then they can beat Miami.

That’s why I’m saying rebuild. There’s maybe one guy on this roster who could be part of a team that competes for anything meaningful.

May not be in Basketball Hell but Basketball Purgatory feels appropriate for this group.

But when it comes down to it, it’s a superstar league. Who stops Tatum?

Is it anymore? Superteams have failed lately. It's a wide open league now. Tatum is cool but he's also done nothing postseason wise. He just choked tonight too against a beatable Heat team. I don't fear Tatum if he can't beat a crippled Jimmy Butler.
