Yeah this is a key offseason for him to take a leap. It really sucks that he lost most of last year, but he still managed to show some flashes so hopefully he can get a full season in next year and show out. It may not necessarily show in the numbers as he's probably still at best the 3rd or 4th option, but it'll show in his aggression.
Yep. He can’t be timid and needs to be comfortable being aggressive playing with Demar, Vuc, and presumably Zach. His raw numbers don’t need to be crazy, but needs to be aggressive and efficient. I’d like to see his rebounding numbers go up too. Bulls struggled on the boards and if he’s going to be a 4th option, he needs to clean the glass and tighten up his D
Agreed. Especially with zero offensive gameBulls Rumors: Rudy Gobert Trade, Knicks FA Mitchell Robinson Among Possible Targets
The Chicago Bulls are "a team with interest in" Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, according to <a...bleacherreport.com
I'd be interested in Robinson depending on price (although he is injury prone which is the last thing we need). We have talked about it before but i'm a hell no on Gobert due to that contract. I don't want to be paying him 46 million in 2026.
And yet, the guy managed to score 15.6PPG on a league best FG% and TS%, aside from being the best big man defender in the game
It will be interesting seeing him play with someone else. Im a prop bettor so I watched him a good bit. Mitchell would literally not pass him the ball wide open. He is kind of soft around the rim. He can get bullied and his hands arent the best. They dont seem to be very strong. He can also get taken advantage by smaller lineups.
The smaller lineups are a real issue, agreed
On that contract? Not too many people other than yourself lol…not sure why you’re bringing up his FG% and TS% since his offense consists of lobs and put backs, they should be high. He has no offensive game beyond that. For a team with shooting issues, it would certainly be interesting to watch BD try to create spacing.
Yes, he shoots around the basket(lobs and dunks mostly). Is that a bad thing that he plays within his abilities and leads the league in FG% and TS%? It’s not like he’s the only big in the league that only shoots around the rim. Fact is he’s the best in the league at what he does
Correct. Say the contract all you want, but any other argument is nonsense. Gobert is exactly what the bulls need at center and would instantly make the team significantly better.
Keep them making the playoffs better? Or competing with Miami Boston Philly better?(second part obviously makes them both). I’m just not interested in a team that just is good enough to make the playoffs. That’s good for Jerry not for fans. If the moves don’t keep them up with the best they are just to help the bottom line no interest in that
I like this move if true. Tucker is super old now, but brings all those intangibles that this team needs from a vet and can still be a rotation player/starter even despite his age.
Isn't Tucker about to be a free agent? So technically has no impact on trades that could happen?
True. PJ would be an MLE signing
Might even be able to scrape a vet min for him since he's so old...but even if not still a very productive player for his age
PJ opted out of his final year with Miami, set to make $7.4 mil. So, I imagine he opted out thinking he can get a 2 or 3 year deal worth around that annually. Otherwise, why opt out to just take a vets min?
