Bulls Talk FCP

The conversation revolves around the Chicago Bulls and their players Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Alex Caruso. There are trade rumors surrounding LaVine, with potential destinations including New York, Philadelphia, Miami, and LA. It is suggested that LaVine's down year may be due to his dissatisfaction with the team and coaching. The possibility of a trade involving Jaden Ivey and James Wiseman is mentioned. The Lakers are also interested in acquiring DeRozan and Caruso, but there is reluctance to trade Caruso due to his value to the team. Potential destinations for Caruso include Denver or a young team like the Pacers. It is noted that DeRozan's playstyle may not fit well with certain teams, such as Miami. The conversation concludes with speculation about the Bulls' future and the potential for a full rebuild. We're live. It's been touched. Yeah. Oh yeah. God, I was picking the fuck out of that. Alright, we ain't starting yet. We chillin'. Alright. Which one are we starting on? Bulls- Bullstalk? I'm good. Shit, it's not even as depressing anymore. Yeah, you can say that. Alright, let's do Bullstalk. Bullstalk. Welcome to Full Court Press. I'm joined by Charlie and Fadmir, and today we're discussing the Chicago Bulls. Chicago Bulls are our favorite team, our hometown team, and man, it's been a wild ride this year. Yeah, it's ups and downs. More down. Yeah. We got a lot of ugly basketball, we got a lot of nice basketball. Yeah, the Bulls, definitely not the start that we were hoping for. A lot of trade rumors, a lot of just bad basketball overall. Honestly, where do you guys want to start off the Bulls? I mean, coaching? Trade rumors? That would be probably the hot topic right now. Alright, Zach Levine it is. Zach Levine has been on a down year with the Chicago Bulls this year. He's been discussed in trade rumors before, but this time it seems like it is the closest he's ever been to actually getting traded. Zach Levine destinations, I've heard New York, I've heard Philadelphia, I've heard Miami, I've heard L.A., and I've heard that he has no market value. Yeah. So, yeah. What do you guys think? Where do you think Zach's going to end up by the end of all this? Well, first of all, his down year, don't think it's necessarily because he's worse. I think it's because he just doesn't care to play for the Bulls or Billy Donovan anymore. He just looks completely checked out. He looks like he's over it. He looks like he wants a change of scenery. So, yeah. As for the no trade value, it's mainly because of his contract. And people see him still as just a scorer, even though he's more than that. It is what it is. You can't change that. But I've also heard Sacramento might go after him. Sacramento is apparently going to be super active in this trade deadline, so that's always an option. They could use another high volume scorer besides just Fox and then Sabonis every now and then. I've heard Orlando as an option, which I find super interesting. I do, too. I didn't even hear about them until now. I don't think it's been that they're actually looking at him. I think it's more so just that people want to kind of see him there. And that's a place they'd rather see. Because Orlando does not have the greatest shooting. Zach Levine gives you that. Zach Levine also gives you another option just to score in general, because their offense isn't the greatest in Orlando. It's been getting better as the season goes on, but still a bit lackluster. So Zach Levine can help that. And Orlando's defense is already great, so he can mask his deficiencies. I don't know. From where I see him ending up, it definitely seems like the Lakers right now. I hate it because there's not a single package I want in return from the Lakers. But I also think he has, like, his game. Yeah, he's having a down year, but he's still, like, he just hates Billy Donovan. Yeah, that's true. I would still prefer to get a new coach even before trading him. Obviously the Bulls are playing a lot better without him right now, but I still think it's due to just, like, lack of coaching. He doesn't know how to use Zach Levine in the offense. It's just iso. Because even, like, obviously DeMar has played some of the games, too. But the offense, when neither of them are on the court, actually looks good. When DeMar is just on the court, it's still mostly iso. When both of them, there's no movement. So I still think it's a coaching issue. But the one thing that I've heard for Zach Levine, I've heard mostly that there's no market for him, too. But I actually heard that the Pistons had a deal centered around Jaden Ivey. Oh, boy. I like it. You know, if we were to get any deal, I would want somebody like that. Like a young player who could be, like, a future piece of this team. Jaden Ivey and James Wiseman, maybe a first. Yeah. And some picks. Yeah. I'd agree. I would like to see Jaden Ivey in a Bulls uniform. But since we're on the topic of Zach, if you were to go anywhere, where would you guys want to see him? You can give me one destination or two, however many you want to give. Where would you want to see Zach? Charlie? So, like, where would I want to see him? Not, like, where we get the best returns. That's where I'd want to see him play. Yeah. Yeah. Where do you want to see him go? I'd say, yeah, a team like the Kings would probably be the most fun to see him on, just because their team hasn't won much for a while. I'd see them be more of an electric player. Light the beam for Levine, dude. Light the beam for Levine. That would be kind of fire. That's where I'd want to see him go. And you're already giving him a little slogan for if he does go over there. Me, personally, I want to see Zach in Philadelphia. Yeah. I want to see him in Philly. I know that you guys probably don't like Philly, but I think that they have, if they were to get him, that their chance of winning a championship would just go up tremendously. And I think that they would be the best option in terms of contenders outside of Miami. Miami would probably be my second choice for him to go to. But, yeah, I want to see him in Philly. I want to see him in Philly. I think him, Maxi, and Embiid would be pretty scary to see on the court. I also want to say Sacramento, just because I feel like he'd work so well in that offense. Finally be able to be used off ball, catch and shoot opportunities. I think he'd just do really well, especially with how good of a screener Sabonis is. Put the non-winning player takes to rest. I need that gone. He's got to prove it. Yeah, he definitely does have to prove it. Outside of Zach, there were a few other guys who were named in possible trade talks. Two big names as well, DeMar DeRozan and a favorite, Alex Caruso. All three of them have been targeted by the Lakers, allegedly. DeMar's a hometown guy, Levine's a hometown guy, and then I'm sure any team in the league would really want Caruso. But since Caruso was a former Laker, the Lakers fan base still loves him. Honestly, I don't want to see anyone go to the Lakers. But if they were to go to the Lakers, then I'm like, okay, hopefully you get a ring out of it. But Caruso already has a ring. But I love Caruso. I hope we don't trade him at all. If I were to see him go, I'd want to see him go to a contender just because he has the heart of a champion, and I'd like to see him win again. I don't think Caruso's going to get traded. The Bulls are saying it's going to be extremely hard to actually trade him because they think he's one of their biggest success stories. So they just don't want to part ways with him. They love what he brings to the team and the culture he brings. So, yeah, I don't think he's getting traded. I think last season they said it was a minimum of two first-round picks just to get him. That's reasonable. I think it's reasonable with what he brings to the team. If he does get traded, I want to see him on Denver. I think he'd be great for Denver. That would be ridiculous. I'd love to see him on Denver. He would literally be like Christian Brown's mentor. It would be insane. The stuff he could do for that team would be ridiculous. In a previous video, I think you said he's like a mini-alpha in Caruso. He could end up being like Caruso. So if he went over, he might just end up being like him for sure. As for Damar, I've seen him link to Miami, to Golden State, to the Lakers. The Lakers actually said they'd rather go for Damar and Caruso rather than Zach. The Bulls want to see what they would get from Zach Levine's return and how the team looks like before they trade someone like Damar. He might not get traded, but if he does, bring him to the Warriors, I guess. We could get something like Moses Moody or Kaminga if they want to give him up. They kind of need some more scoring besides Steph because Steph is really carrying the offense on his back. The only issue is he's a mid-range guy, so it's going to be kind of awkward playing into that three-ball type of game. To be fair, he is shooting 37% from three on two-and-a-half-plus attempts. So everybody who goes to Golden State ends up wet-balling. So yeah, maybe it'll be better for him. We'll see. Steve Carey could figure something out. Steve Carey, he's a decent catch. Yeah. What about you? What do you think? Caruso, DeRozan, if they get traded out? Caruso? I don't know. If we end up trading Levine, I don't see a reason. I don't know. I feel like the Bulls are very much on the brink of deciding to go full rebuild or not. Caruso, I saw the same thing where I really don't want to get rid of him, but since it's a contract year and I don't know what we'll get back for Levine, but if we're on the more of the rebuild process, I could see him getting traded. Contender, I would want to see him on. It would be cool. Now that Grayson Allen's gone, it would be cool to see him on the Bucs. It would be really, I don't know. Denver, if they could pull that off, that would be an insane piece for Denver. Or even a team like the Pacers. A young team could use his mentorship. They're already a gritty team. Literally any team would be better than Alex Caruso in contention runnings. So I would just hope that we could get two first-round picks or something. DeRozan, I don't know. DeRozan's play style, he'd have to take a big step back to be fitting into a lot of these other offenses, I feel like. Which I'm sure he would do willingly to win. But a situation in Miami, I honestly don't see it working there for DeRozan just because Jimmy Butler is the same player, just better. A mid-range game, it would just be hard to space the floor with both of them on the floor. I'd have to agree. I also do like your Caruso picks. Him on the Bucs, the Bucs are lacking defense heavily, so I think that that'd be a great spot. I like the Pacers. The Pacers are also lacking defense. They're such a young team, they could use a guy like that. How old are they? They have TJ McConnell. 28? No, TJ was too much. He sucks. He doesn't suck. Offensively, he's pretty horrible. He's a solid backup point guy. I'm not. You brought him up when I said Caruso. He's definitely not impacting the game. They could use that mentorship. Halliburton's bird, Turner's probably the other guy with the most experience. He doesn't have much winning experience either. I'd like to see him on a team of young, gritty guys that he could lead the charge. All right. We'll move on from the trades now. We got more Bulls talk for you all. Do you guys want to head into the coaches? Just overall play style and everything. We're going to get into the overall play style now. The Bulls offense, in the past few games, has looked better, but man, this is some of the worst offense in the league considerably in terms of spacing, in terms of movement. It's mainly isolation between DeMar and Levine. Billy Donovan could be at the fault of it. I've put out a tweet saying that Billy Donovan's career is just him coattailing his success as a college coach from over a decade ago when he won two national championships with one of the best college teams of all time, the Florida Gators. He's had zero NBA success. I don't think he's made it out of the first round. I was going to say, he was on the Thunder. Yeah, he was on the Thunder. Oh, he was with Kevin Durant. Okay. I thought he came after. I thought Scott Brooks was still there. No, he left. It was like 2015 when Billy Donovan came in. Oh, interesting. 2015 or 2016. Oh, wow. Okay. He had good success with the Thunder, but that's because he had a pretty old superstar. He had some really damn good players in the Thunder. Yeah. Outside of having KD, when he did have Paul George and Russ, they never made it out of the first round. It was unsuccessful. They should have moved further. Yeah, but it is what it is. The Bulls' offense, again, it's been very bad. I don't like the whole isolation game. It's only worked when only one player does it all the time, like a James Harden or a Luka Doncic, where only a few players are doing that. So you can't just have every play be ISO, and by multiple people on your team. But the past few games, you guys have seen it. We've had some actual ball movement. Actual play be right. Yeah, actual plays. Shout out Kobe White. I wonder if they're using college-type plays, kind of, because those guys are still kind of young. I doubt it. Probably not. It's just hard to believe. It's just hard to believe that he could have done this the whole time, but just chose not to when Levine and Zeros were playing. He just couldn't make an adjustment. It just doesn't seem real. Yeah, because when we had Lonzo and everything, our ball movement wasn't that bad either. It was pretty solid. Yeah, so I was going to say, ever since he went down, there was never an adjustment made to the offense to fill in. It was just like, all right, give it to them. Whoever has the ball, Vooch, go set a screen. We're not going to pass it to you. It's just you set the screen and go somewhere else. The last four games, Vooch has been absolutely cooking. Absolutely cooking. He's looked like an all-star again, and it's just because the young guys give him the ball. That's literally all it comes down to. Yeah, so I'm wondering if it was a big Levine and Billy beef. I know that they do have beef. Levine sat the entire fourth that one game. I don't know if there was beef before then that caused that to happen, but Levine and Billy definitely don't like each other, and it's reflecting in terms of the offense. Maybe it's reflecting overall. I mean, the morale didn't seem all that great coming into the season, especially after the first few games. It seems to have picked up. Pat Williams seems to finally have some joy in his life. A little bit of fire, dude. Oh, man, do I have something to say about that? Go ahead. So Patrick Williams looked terrible at the start of the season solely because they made that man sit in the corner for 80% of the game. And then they're like, here, go do something once they give him the ball. Set him maybe a screen or just have him go ISO. Can't expect a player to succeed like that. Now, since Zach hasn't been injured, they're actually moving the ball around. Patrick Williams is actually getting the ball and moving around and getting plays ran for him. He looks great. He's actually doing everything we thought he'd be able to do. So everyone was down on him, saying trade him, trade him. No, he's looking great. Keep him. As for our team in general, DeMar is looking more like Spurs DeMar where he's actually passing the ball. He's had two 10-assist games already. I think he had an 8-assist game also in these last five games. So we're getting more ball movement out of him. Kobe White's getting more ball movement actually meeting our team as our point guard. He's looked amazing this season. We're feeding Butch a lot more in the post. I personally don't like that because it's statistically one of the most – he's one of the most inefficient post players in the league. So I'm not a big fan, but he is looking a lot better. I have allegations to go along with that because I think he's an empty stats player, but it's for another day. Allegations is a good word to use nowadays because we've beaten the allegations. Ayo, ayo, chill. But before we get into more bullet talk, if you're new to the channel, this is Full Court Press.

So if you like that, hit that subscribe button and follow us for more. This is Full Court Press, baby. All right, back to the bulls talk. I'm going to blip. That was an intermission at the end. No, no, no. I thought we were going to talk about more for the bulls. Yeah, we are. I just wanted to throw that in there. Start putting that in between the videos. I see. I like that. Because usually we just put an ad. Yeah, we'll put an ad. We don't have real ads yet. Yeah. We should make our own ads. 15-second unskippable ads for that review. All right, back to the bulls talk. The bright spots of our team. Kobe White, Pat Williams, the young guys, Io DeSumo, men. Finally, Kobe White and Pat Williams have been given an opportunity to showcase the type of players they are and what they can do on a basketball court. Fabmir is already getting the phone out. He's passionate about this. He's had some predictions about Pat Williams. He had a whole video dedicated to Pat Williams. I had a whole article dedicated to Pat Williams. A whole article. My first one. So the fact that the first 10 or so games did not go his way whatsoever. There was a point in time where I was down to Pat Williams. Me and Fabmir had a whole sit-down conversation on if Pat Williams is absolutely garbage. And guess who was wrong again? You! Yet to be proven. But, yeah, during that time it was looking very bad. You said he wasn't good at anything. It was so bad. You said he wasn't good at anything. Doing anything during that time period. We're not getting into it. We're not getting into it. Yeah, we're definitely not going to get into it now, but that was a conversation that had to be had during that time. I think the Bulls were, what, 3-11 or something? We were terrible. It was very bad. It wasn't looking good whatsoever. But they started to finally click. Now that Levine's out. Whether or not Levine's a problem is yet to be seen. But Kobe White's put up a few games where he's had 20-plus points. He's broken the record for threes consecutively. How many? Three threes made in a game. Three threes per game. 300 miles by Zach Levine. Wow. Alrighty. I don't like that. That's my boy Zach. I hate the fact that he's being talked about, but he has to be talked about in these trade talks. But, yeah, Kobe White, Pal Williams, what are you guys thinking about them? Well, Kobe White in the last 10 games, 21 points, 4.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds on 48.6% from the field, 51% from three, 91% from the free throw line, 50-40-90 in a different way. So that man, he's showing everyone what he really has. He's more than just a scorer. He's more than just an off-ball catch-and-shoot guy. He can legitimately run an offense. He can do so successfully because we're winning. And he's really taking the next step in his development as a player. Last season he was coming off our bench as our spark plug, and he was slowly coming into it and being even better as the season progressed. And this season he was given the starting point guard role, hasn't lost it for good reason. He started off slow, shooting like 20% from three, and now he's one of the top three-point shooters in the league. I think he's like sixth in three-pointers made in the entire league. I like that. I like hearing that. That's some great improvement out of him. I honestly really liked it when we did draft him. So the fact that he is finally flourishing, I think he's going to be our point guard of the future when we draft him. Oh, he is. Oh, he is. But yeah, I'm glad that he's looking good. I was always thinking maybe he might switch to the two since we got Alonzo, but now Alonzo's out, he's back to the one, he's playing great. I'd love to see it personally. Yeah, literally since the moment we drafted Kobe, I always had very high hopes for him. He's really living up to it now. The year-by-year progression we've seen out of him is like exactly what you want out of a young player. I don't know that we've actually developed a player this good in a long time. Since Jimmy Butler probably. This is much better development than Zach LaVine. Since he got traded to the Bulls, Zach has been pretty much the same player, just more points per game. A little better at defense too, but otherwise, Kobe White has gotten better at every aspect of the game. He went into one-off season, said he needed to work on his handling, he got a lot better at handling. He went into the last-off season, said he needed to get his shot down, his shot is down. The way he says something and he goes and does it is exactly what you want out of a player, especially your point guard. He's legit. I'm very happy for Kobe right now. Yeah, and then you got Io. I think Io's not more of a scorer like Kobe, but he's going to be that guy. He can facilitate. He's a defender more than anything. He's a great defender. Still got some things to learn. I think his offensive game needs to come up to par with most of the NBA because he's not known for being a high-level scorer. Is he averaging double figures this year? No. I don't think he is. But if he can be someone that can get you like 8 to 13 a night, I think that's pretty solid out of him. So I'm looking forward to how he develops. I think his offensive game more than anything needs some help. And then Pat Williams, Pat Williams, he's gotten the quiet comparisons for a reason. Defensively, he's locked down still. He's stopping number one options on other teams, whether it's the 1 all the way up to the 4, sometimes the 5 too, depending on who the 5 is. But, yeah, he's a great defender. Again, Billy Donovan, I feel like there was a point in time where we might have actually really been tanking, where the magic – Levine just had a big shot to tie it against the magic, and then for whatever reason, Pat Williams was not on Paolo for the final play of the game, and then Paolo got a bucket. So I just figured what's going on. So I was really on Billy Donovan about it. But, yeah, Pat Williams is a legit defender. His scoring, I think, still needs a little bit of improvement. He can shoot the 3, not at a high volume, but he can knock it down. He's around like – His percentage is over 40%. His percentage is good, but the amount of 3s that he's taking isn't all that much. I think it's like around 4. It's not that bad. Especially for our team, he's a lethal shooter right now. He's definitely a 3 in D. I still think he could – Yeah, we don't care what you think. You were wrong already on him. It is what it is, but I think his offense is still going to need some improvement if he really wants to reach that star status. His defense seems to already be there. It's going to be the offense and the small things that will bring him up higher. Speaking of the small things, the one thing we really wanted to see Patrick Williams just do more is be more aggressive on offense. Since Levine's gotten out of the lineup, we've seen so much more aggression out of him. He's not afraid to actually crash the glass. In his last 10 games, he's averaging 5 rebounds, which doesn't sound a lot for a power forward, but for him, that's actually a lot because on the season – Generally, on his previous seasons, he's averaging around like 3. Seeing in the last 10 games he's averaging 5, he's crashing the glass a lot more. He's had plenty of games where he's like 7 to 9 rebounds, so it's great to see him actually crashing the glass. He's super athletic. He should be able to do that easily. His defense is still there. He's been locking people up since day one. That's not going to change. His scoring has taken a massive jump. In the last 6 games, he's had two 20-point games. He hasn't had any of those, I'm pretty sure, all year until now. His shooting is back. His shooting is back. He's shooting above. Actually, let's see. He's averaging 12 points, 5 rebounds on 53% from the field and 42% from third in the last 10 games without Zach Levine. His offense is back, basically. We're seeing more aggression. We're seeing plays are in for him. It's looking a lot better. He's actually cutting off the ball, which is leading to a lot of easy buckets, easy dunks, letting him use his athleticism. We're seeing a lot more aggression out of him, which is the biggest thing that he needed to do if we're going to see a step in his offense because everything else is going to come. But it's all about how he's actually playing if we're going to see it. I'm very happy with Patrick Williams' last few games being in the season. I could have had a real conversation with you about his future. I was very concerned, but I did not give up hope. I'm glad I didn't because we've seen this kind of stuff out of him before, so we knew he had the potential. I think the biggest change I'm seeing right now is obviously aggression, but he's just moving on the ball. He runs to the corner like he always did, but now he runs to the hoop after. He's had, I feel like, two or three backdoor buckets every game. The way he's been moving off the ball, and it's not just him, it's everybody on the bulls right now, but him, he could be so effective with that. His mid-ranger, he's taken a lot more of those. He's really good at it. His three-pointer, he's good at it. Overall, he's just like, this is exactly what you want. It may have taken a little longer than everybody had hoped for, but it's finally happening. I'm very happy about it. He's only 21 people are acting with him. He's 25. He's got years. This is exactly why we gave up on Laurie too early. I just need to see him with a tighter handle, and it's going to be scary for the league. Point guard Pat. Point guard Pat. He's even been taking the ball. He gets a rebound. He doesn't look to pass it. No, he just goes, and that's awesome. That's how you get an offense going. Damn right. That's what I'm talking about. All right, let's end it off with some quick shots. Two things that you guys want to see out of this bulls team for the rest of the year, and two things you want to see change from the bulls. I want to see tanking, but competitive tanking. What is competitive tanking? What is that? What is that? It's kind of what the Utah Giants did last year. Make sure every game is close, but make sure you lose. I don't want to see us end up in the middle of the pack again and just get a pick around 14 or 15. I'm tired of that. Focus on the young guys. I guess you can keep DeMar and Vooch, but just make sure we focus on the young guys and start to slowly build our way back up because we're not going to go anywhere at this point. We need to start slowly getting into our rebuild. For the next one, I just want to see them keep running it through Kobe White and Patrick Williams. They're doing it right now for the most part. DeMar will still have his ISO possessions and all that, but he's at his lowest usage of his career, I'm pretty sure. He's getting all these assists. More of that is all I want to see. I really like the way our offense is looking right now, so just continue that and competitively tank. Two things I want to see change? Uh... Honestly? I don't know. It could be a player change, a coaching change, front office change, ownership change. Oh, yeah, ownership change. Please, Jerry Ryansdorf, stop the team. I'm tired of you. Go away. I hate you. Oh, my God. You're terrible. You're cheap. You're literally sending the White Sox to Nashville. Please get out of Chicago. Um... As for another one, I want to see the front office, I guess, change their mindset on this team. Don't just think about continuity. Don't think about retooling and building around DeMar and Butch. Just be able to commit to the rebuild. Don't be stubborn, saying, oh, we came here to win and get in the playoffs, and we're going to do that. No, it's not working. Give up, please. Wow. All right. Two things I want to see continue, or two things I want to see out of the bulls for the rest of the season. I want to see them continue this type of play style, to be honest. Getting away from all the ISO ball is great. It's actually helped us win games against some top teams. We were losing against some bottom teams. And the fact that we beat the Bucs and then we beat the Pelicans back-to-back and we just won our third game against the Hornets. We won four in a row against the Spurs. Yeah, we beat the Spurs recently, too. We've won four in a row. That's what I want to see. I want to see this type of offense continue through the rest of the year. Another thing I want to see out of the bulls is try to implement Levine back into this before trading and see if this offense can stay the same with him in the lineup. Because that will really tell you whether or not he's the problem or if it's just been a lack of coaching change until this point in strategy and play style. Two things I want to see change for the bulls. I want to see Billy Downer being gone. I don't think he's that good of a coach. And he hasn't really had success without an absolute Hall of Famer in Kevin Durant. So, first on exit multiple times. Another thing I want to see change with the bulls. I mean, if we were to trade people, I guess. I would want to see some trades happen. But, I think that the team's fine. I want to see Lonzo come back. But, yeah, it would be a lot of ownership stuff or coaching for me. No, I'm not keeping up on Lonzo. Alright, two things I want to see them continue to do. I want to see them continue to give Kobe the keys. Kobe is... Give Kobe the keys. He's been running the offense well. I've seen him making passes. He's playing like he's out of his mind. Keep letting him do his thing as long as he can. Pretty much the same with Pat. He plays off of Kobe well right now. Keep letting those two guys go at it. Another thing I want to see. I would also like to see Zach Levine put back in. Not only just to see how the team works, but his trade value. The only way for his trade value to go up is if he comes back and actually plays good. Whether or not you believe he's actually this bad now because he's averaging 22 a game. He needs to come back and show a team. Even if he doesn't want to be here, he has to show a team what he can bring to their team. I would like to see how we can... Either we can keep him and make it work or just get him out of here and let him play good. Whatever it is, that has to happen. He has to come back and play a little bit. Things change. Billy Donovan needs to go. He's not the right coach for this team. I don't think any of the guys on the team really like him after the last two years. I don't think anybody really wants to play for him. Just having him here is just a bad taste in the organization's mouth, honestly. You want to get the last two years out of your memory. I think he needs to go. Get somebody everybody can get behind. Another change... I think... I really like Vuj. I think what he's been doing since Levine has been out, his usage, everything... His percentages were awful to start the year. They're still not good now. Now he's putting up 25 and 10 consistently. I've seen him hit more threes. Everything is getting better. It was pretty clear he was visibly upset with his utilization. He just doesn't touch the ball. Getting eight shots a game sometimes. Granted, he might have won one for eight that game, but when you're pissed off, it's not going to help you play better. Sometimes it will, but not in the sense that you feel like you're being mis-utilized. You just heard freaking Porzingis say he wasn't trying because they weren't using him the way they wanted to. Whether you think that's a horrible mentality or not, it's the truth of things. I think changes should be... Vuj needs to stay relevant in the offense. We've been winning games when he is. He's been playing great. That's something that's got to change Before we let you guys go, don't forget to comment on the video. Let us know what you think about our takes. What would you change about the Chicago Bulls? Should the Chicago Bulls trade Levine, DeRozan, Caruso? What do you think about the franchise overall? What's our direction? Don't forget to dunk on that like button. Dunking on the like button is the number one thing you can do to push this video out to other NBA heads out there and get people to see full-court press. Until next time. Peace. Kobe White for Most Improved.
