Does Zach Lowe and ESPN not have access to Chicago beat writers?
Like is KC Johnson or someone who actually follows the team rather than Nick Friedell?
I’m just curious at this point. Can they not work with The Athletic beat writers like Mayberry or Sun-Times Joe Cowley even?

Finals Game 6 Tim Duncan had 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks in 45 minutes……I PROMISE you guys it’s OK to praise Steph Curry without trying to erase the past 😂😂😂
When the Bulls front office was heavily scouting Patrick Williams….
Did they realize Devin Vassell was also on that FSU team? And leading the team in scoring?
Because why didn’t they just dr—
I’d just love to see a Zach LaVine + Coby White + Patrick Williams core with 3-point shooting everywhere else…let the kids grow and let Zach eat…
This isn’t a Vucevic or DeRozan diss…just talking about the future
#BullsNation
People who don’t watch the Bulls literally ever:
“Why don’t they let Nikola Vucevic walk and start Andre Drummond at center? I would LOVE if MY team started Andre Drummond at center!”
DeMar DeRozan is great at scoring with the ball in his hands and Zach LaVine is a solid off-ball 3-point shooter and great at attacking close outs..….not sure why that wouldn’t work on offense…
#NBATwitter
I hate to break it to you…
Zach LaVine is NOT the “great
#2
” on the Bulls….
As a guy who used to work for the team, writes about him and also watches him daily…he’s the best player on the team and the driving force behind them becoming a great team as of late
As a bulls fan who watches daily that man is not underrated. Took him 7 seasons to become an all star in this league he’s exactly where he supposed to be. A great

Patrick Williams is 21. Coby White is 23.
The Bulls will surely add a 3-PT shooter or two with MLE, BAE or vet minimum. It’s simply a false narrative that there are NO ways to improve.
This is real life. There are always ways to improve even if you don’t agree with/see them.
@ZenMasterMike
The Bulls will never have the full version of this team with Lonzo’s career ending injury. Tearing it down makes complete sense when you consider there are no ways to improve and the team already found their ceiling, which was 1st round punching bag.
Alize Johnson averaged just over 17 rebounds per 36 minutes last season (5 rebounds per game playing only 10 mins).......point is, dude can hustle
#BullsNation
Free agent F Alize Johnson has agreed on a two-year, $3.6M deal with the Chicago Bulls, his agent
@GeorgeLangberg
tells ESPN. The Bulls had a need for power forward depth and roster offers some real opportunity for Johnson.
If Zachary LaVine stays on the Chicago Bulls past the trade deadline…
He needs to COME OFF THE BENCH.
There. I said it. I wouldn’t worry about how he feels about it obviously.
"Solid business so far tonight from the Bulls. They might have the best defensive tandem at point guard in the league, and both Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso have skill sets very complimentary of Zach LaVine's."

@SethPartnow
Zach LaVine because people don’t watch him play and form lazy opinions and likely it’s because he is better than your favorite player probably and that’s OK
Think I’m starting to love this team….the youngins run….
Get a lead….
Let Deebo show these
young men how to mf iso in crunch time….(real ball)
Get some draft picks…a lot of them…
I see the vision
Is there legitimately a rule where you HAVE to trade someone in the NBA when they demand a trade?
I don’t understand these LaVine reports….
If NBA teams are saying “attach assets to LaVine..” then the Bulls don’t HAVE to do shit lol
OK then you’re stuck in Chicago. Next.
Zach LaVine’s trade market is so nonexistent to the point that many around the league believe the Bulls will have to attach assets to get off his contract, per
@DanWoikeSports
().
LaVine has three years and $138 million remaining after this season on his…
I don’t want to get dramatic here so I’ll say it like this:
I don’t know what the Chicago Bulls plan is for this current team….but I hope they have one?
This feels like it’s entering very weird territory if they’re just going to let the team be awful and…not change anything?
Today was the first time I ever saw non-Chicago Bulls fans go:
“Even I think that’s terrible value for the Bulls to trade Zach LaVine.”
We accomplished SOMETHING today y’all 😭😭😂😂
#BullsNation
Zach LaVine is allowed to have a bad game and be frustrated (though the quote wasn’t pretty).
I care more about how he responds to this 1-14 performance against the Celtics on Monday. Will say a lot about him as a player.
On the great news front, I'm ridiculously excited to announce that I'll be joining the talented team over at

#Bulls
but some weird ass energy as always…literally felt like DeMar DeRozan was freezing Zach LaVine out just chucking up shot after shot as your teammate is approaching 50 points…Chicago can never just have a normal ass game I swear…
AKME better be working two phones RIGHT NOW!
You wanted to see the post-LaVine Bulls??
Well are you watching? You looking?
Your overmatched role player squad is playing with energy & pride.
Showing a CLEAR effort and care issue elsewhere…
The “Big 3 Bulls Era”….
Derrick Rose’s popularity is still lowkey wild to me and I’m from the south side of Chicago and love the dude…but goddamn I just noticed him on the All-Star fan vote list 😭😭😭 that’s crazy it’s 2023 dawg
The memes and general reaction after Damian Lillard gets traded to the Chicago Bulls gonna feed families.
We need that. The NBA needs that.
Please tell me AKME is cooking that shit up….
Cook that shit up AKME!
Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham? I’ll never forgive the Kings dog this is unacceptable 😭😭😭😭🤦🏿♂️
#Bulls
have to deal with this dynamic ass backcourt for years damn
I respect everyone’s opinion so I get it if you are a Chicago Bulls fan & want to rebuild NO MATTER WHAT.
But after sitting through the Hoiberg years, Boylen years—AND the Boylan years—I personally don’t want to see a rebuild.
Ways to build outside of tearing everything down.
@ZenMasterMike
I think the point to do it is because he ISN’T on an expiring deal. They did a great job doing exactly that in the 2021, were dominating the East and then Lonzo fell apart. That idea is no longer reality without Zo. I am tired of the mediocrity. It is not an acceptable direction
Russell Westbrook gives 1000 times more effort than anyone on the current Bulls roster. I don’t even care if it translates…just want the other guys on the team to see what full speed looks like.
IMAGINE if the Bulls signed Spencer Dinwiddie from their own minor league roster like I suggested…
IMAGINE if the Bulls took Michael Porter Jr. when I said take MPJ…
IMAGINE if they drafted Tyrese Maxey or Haliburton at 4 like I suggested…

Candace Parker is so good at explaining the game at a high level but in a very easy to understand way.
Very tough balance but again, she’s very very good

#Bulls
to not bring back Nikola Vucevic so they can start…..no one at center I guess?
Just play four players I suppose?
Who are these centers the Bulls are passing up that are better than Vucevic I would love for someone to just enlighten me
For the record, Nikola Vucevic is very very good at basketball…And trading him would force someone to step up BIG TIME in terms of playmaking…even more so if Zo misses time…just throwing that out there
#BullsNation
I feel like Billy Donovan is getting a tad bit emotional talking about Zach LaVine being a great player and working his way back…honestly this could be a turning point for the FUTURE of this team
