Yeah that's it. So NBC dropped their regional sports networks, so that's why the Bulls/Blackhawks decided to just make their own.

Unit down for +9.5 tonight at Milwaukee.

Bulls have a good chance to start 0-5 based on the schedule.

As long as I'm 4-1, then Jimmy Crack Corn and such...

For all intents and purposes, the worse the Bulls are this season, the better. Zach and Vuc just have to play good enough to get trade value up so they can escape this place.

Yeah they need Flagg or another potential star player in the worst way possible.
As for Zach and Vuc, I foresee them playing just the way they have been. I don’t expect their value to really increase by much, if any. Zach will go off for stretches/games, but he’s always going to have some of the dumbest turnovers/shot selection at the worst times. Vuc is a solid player, but he’s awful defensively and very low effort. Their value is what it is.

Technically, yes they are who they are and everyone knows that, but there's still a couple things they can do to boost their trade value.
Zach will always have his boneheaded plays, but again this is already known. He needs to show he can drop 25+ any given night on good shooting efficiency with consistency and he needs to show he can stay healthy.
Vuc is who he is, but if he can get his 3pt shooting back to a respectable number instead of the awful numbers we've seen the last two years, some team might take him for the offense/rebounding. For some reason the Warriors keep coming to mind.
The Bulls beat writers will all cite the new tax apron rules as reasons why we won't see either player moved during the season (fair statement as most contenders are over both aprons and cannot send multiple players out in a trade nor can they take back more salary than they send), but if they can put together a full season doing the above, there should be buyers come the offseason.

Yeah I’m not sure what happened to Vuc’s shot but I don’t have much faith it’ll come back. Jalen smiths shot has looked off as well. Maybe it’s a coaching thing here? I don’t know…

Easy to blame Billy for everything, but ironically there is a dedicated shooting coach on his staff (Peter Patton) who has a good reputation. Smith was 1/3 from 3 in Wednesday's game, so take that for what you will. Vuc was 1/2. It's also only been one game so only time will tell if their shooting is a train wreck for the year.

Also, Vuc’s 3 ball has been broken for what, 2-3 seasons now? So much more than just 1 game. Smiths shot wasn’t good in pre season either but I guess the jury is still out.

Oh Vuc has a long long way to go to show his shooting is anything more than fallen way off the cliff.
Smith didn't make a 3 in preseason, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will shoot 12% for the year. I also don't think he's gonna replicate last year's 42% by any means, so we'll see on him. Smith feels like a 34% shooter to me, regardless of what team he's on

Yeah 34-36% for smith sounds right to me. My guess is he was signed with the expectation that he shoots closer to 37-40% though
