What I’m hearing about Bulls ahead of camp: Zach LaVine’s buy-in, Lonzo Ball’s comeback [Darnell Mayberry]

On Zach:
“LaVine reported to Chicago earlier this month, along with the majority of the Bulls roster. An unofficial second minicamp ensued inside the Advocate Center. LaVine didn’t have to report until next week, when training camp opens Tuesday, but he again displayed his intention to buy in to what the new-look Bulls are doing.
Now, there are legitimate questions of how LaVine fits on a team with young talent emerging. But in offseason conversations with Bulls leadership, including coach Billy Donovan, LaVine has vowed not to overstep or stunt the development of younger players, according to a team source.
It could be a tricky balance for a player who likes the ball in his hands and is skilled at creating his own shot. But LaVine has taken the first step by showing up. Now he must show he can play well with others.”
On Pat:
“But Williams experienced discomfort during the team’s minicamp in Miami and required additional rest in recent weeks. His availability is the biggest unknown in the short term. Long-term, the setback forces one to wonder whether Williams will be able to assemble a breakout season given his lengthy layoff. He last appeared in a game on Jan. 25 and hasn’t played much five-on-five since.”
Patrick still not being healthy is pretty worrying
You can’t convince me to be optimistic with Jerry’s comments on Bulls v Sox success. He doesn’t give a shit about Bulls winning games so why would we expect to?
Let’s get this shit show started
Of course we would throw money at PWill and he have chronic injury issues.
I really hope that extension doesn’t come back to bite us
> But LaVine has taken the first step by showing up.
He’s just like me fr
What new confidence could LaVine really have at this point? They failed with DeMar freakin’ DeRozan and Alex Caruso. It’s not like this team is suddenly going to work because those guys are gone.
Zach has to be a little bit happy that Demar is gone. Should give him more of the iso scoring opportunities
Still only looking at 20 wins.
This is worse than the bears
Well my excitement for the season is basically zero because the organization cares so much about their fans that large amounts of the fan base don’t have a reliable way to watch games this year.
