Interesting. The bulls are in a real interesting spot. Orlando has their pick this upcoming year (top 4 protected). Vucevic is a FA and from all accounts probably not the best fit there. What a trade by Orlando BTW.
The Bulls looked great to start the season. They played a fun style of play and were one of the better stories in the first half last year. I don't think it would be smart to expect Derozan to have the same type of season as last year. He was great during the first half of the season...probably his best play of his career. There seems to be some concern about Lonzo's knee.
To me they seem like a team who at its peak is a top 4 team who maybe wins a round in the playoffs. On the other hand, they are a 8-10 seed if things go wrong. Not a great place to be stuck at when you are missing your first round pick and have a lot of guys making good money.
Not sure if that Mitchell trade makes them better or worse moving forward. I do expect the Bulls could be a team who makes a big move during the season. If they think they are a player away or if they decide their current group will never reach the top of the East.
