Team Profile:
The Bulls haven’t been the same since losing Lonzo Ball to his severe injury, but by far my favorite move they made was signing JeVon Carter, who is a slightly poor man’s Ball, and the fit is excellent. After signing Vucevic and White for 4- and 3-year deals, the team will basically be the same, but I see huge seasons from White and Williams.
Player Profile:
This is about franchise player Zach Lavine. How is somebody who is a 25-5-5 guy, just 28 years old and signed for several seasons, yet trade talks? He’s an elite shooter and scorer who has developed point guard skills and is a truly elite athlete. The team should continue to be built around him. The huge deals given this offseason makes Lavine’s contract look like a bargain.
