Paying nearly 40 million combined for a dumb as rocks LaVine and a Jabari with a broken shot/injury issues.
Are we sure this is the same team that won 6 titles in 8 years?
GarPax is out of his mind with these signings but somehow he has been able to hit the gold with 7 pick twice in row.
We need solid SF, but isn't there really anyone else available than Jabari? If he paid 20 millions for LaVine he shouldn't have any kind of problem to pay 30 millions for superstar SF.
Edit: ESPN says that he is PF. What the **** GarPax is really doing? We have franchise potential PF already in our team and he is wasting 20 millions for bench man. Come on now..

And this is why people don't take you seriously.
I don't mind this for the Bulls. The fit might be weird because Jabari needs to be playing PF and they already have Markkanen and WCJ in the front court but I think he's worth taking a chance on. They had the $20M in cap space to pay him and the second year is a team option so they can move on if it doesn't go well.
It probably wasn't going to work with the Bucks anymore and the injuries were just bad luck but it's still another blown pick. You have to hit on a couple of them when you have someone like Giannis but they haven't.
?
Bulls did not select 7th in 2017 and the Wendell Carter hype in Chicago is getting absurd as your post is example off
The guy hasn't even played a single NBA game yet
Holy shit I didn’t realize the season had already started.We have two number 7 picks here, both with all-star potential & it doesn't happen too often. Watch even one game from Carter & you understand what i'm talking about. Wendell is basically machine on defense. 9 blocks in first two games.
There’s being excited and there’s calling it a hit before the first game of the season.You can be excited about a prospect before he has played a game. I wasn't too familiar with WCJ but prior to the draft a lot of smart analysts, whose opinions I trust, kept talking about how good he is. It's only summer league but you can see why he was getting compared to a guy like Al Horford. He looks like he could be the perfect center next to Markkanen.

Oh I agree. Like i said, there’s plenty of reason to be excited. But Asian Tuna said that they hit back to back. Too soon to sayWell he was seen as a really high floor kid with some questions about his athleticism...yet he showed up to SL looking quicker & stronger than ever before.
It's no guarantee, but there's a lot of reason for Bulls fans to be excited about the future that a WCJ-Markkanen frontcourt could have, and that improved athleticism he showed in SL only added to that.
Holy **** I didn’t realize the season had already started.
