Day one Carter sprains his ankle and Gafford has a hyperextended elbow.

Yeah I saw that. This season is gonna be another shitshow. Hopefully Lauri stays healthy and takes another step. If he can't stay healthy this year I'd be ready to give up on him too.

And to think we didn't draft Porter Jr. Because of injury concerns.

i remember like 10 years ago Dan bernstien said the bulls are in NBA hell and it wont get better for a very long time. even when derrick did his mvp thing we knew we werent going to win a titty with him and he wasnt attracting stars. were so fucked guys, our only chance is tanking as hard as we can for at least 5 years. those wins we have got the last few years really have been totally regressive.

That’s hindsight. WCJ had no injury concerns coming into the league. Bulls probably fucked him up. Porter Jr would probably be paralyzed by now if the Bulls medical staff got their hands on him.

Thats why its always faulty logic to predict the guys that are going to be injury prone.

Pick the more talented guy and invariably you cant go wrong. If Michael Porter's injuries were such that he could never play again then they would have known that at the time.

I'm not Anti Wendell either. Its just that i don't think he will ever be a star. Porter has a shot to be however. They had a chance to salvage the tank and they blew that too.

I am a fan of teams that took Jared Mitchell ahead of Mike Trout and Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky ahead of Pat Mahomes and I can say with confidence that the decision to draft Wendell Carter Jr. was the most immediately baffling and obviously failed draft selection I can think of off the top of my head.

Carter may prove to be a terrible pick....def looking that way. But not even close to bypassing mahomes or trout

What I'm saying is it was more immediately apparent when the pick was made that it was terrible than those other two.

It wasn't terrible but it was a pussy move. Carter is a dime a dozen. The franchise is in no position to make "safe" picks. Not to mention he's played 44 games more than Porter. Porter is playing now and Carter isn't....again.

Agreed.

The WCJ is just fine. MPJ has major concerns not just from the Bulls. We shall see if he is past them. That being said Carter has to stay healthy here on out for the season. His AB got fixed and his poor tailbone seems healed. He can be really solid and won’t need a max contract to stick around. By no means do I love him but he is pretty legit. Looked better in the last preseason game. His defensive instincts are solid and currently we have enough offensive. Indeed players. He needs to work on a 3 ball like the Lopez brothers.
