I don't have an issue with Westbrook personally, but i have to be harsh toward management thinking he is an answer to this teams needs. He may be the worst fit out of anyone in the entire NBA - Ball dominant, bad shooter, poor defense, turnover prone.

He has heart which we could use but it's made null by his inefficiency. I suppose there is some entertainment value to bringing him on and seeing just how bad someone can construct a team.

Has KC refuted Kaplan’s report yet?

With Danny Green signing with the Cavs announced, that leaves the Bulls as the only team in the league that hasn't made a move since the offseason.

Seems to me that many on here have finally figured out Westbrook isn’t good for team success. I swear many on here were all about him a few years back

This might not age well, lol.

We need a point guard with Ball out so why not look if it’s cheap? Lol

Hahaha…we gonna get Westbrook and peak at the right time.

Why not?

I am excited for the playoffs. I think we are an awkward team to play against and Lavine will raise his level.

Because we have talent distribution we are particularly dangerous to teams missing a key player and it seems playoffs always come down to health in recent times.

We have been good against quality teams.

It’s worth watching and I’m excited about it.

Westbrook has said he wants to go to the Clippers or Miami Heat. Never has mentioned the Bulls once. Billy Donovan saying that he wants Russell on the Bulls is meaningless. And as some others have implied here, even if the Bulls had Westbrook, they still not close to winning anything.

The East is already settled. 2 teams are very good(Boston and Philly) 1 team is next level and going to win it.

Why would anyone in their right mind willingly join this Bulls team? Westbrook is most likely an idiot but not even he is that dumb.

I doubt he’s coming here. Losing to the magic at home and a 4 game losing skid when the team is “fighting” for a playoff spot isn’t a good selling point.

I can't foresee anyone wanting to join this team for a long time

Westbrook will probably go to LAC if I had to guess

I view our trade deadline as a wasted season if we don't get Westbrook.

LAC might be 1, for convenience, but I got to think Bulls are in consideration with OKC connections.

Knicks/LAC/Heat/Bulls.

I would think any fringe playoff team is interested if he was willing to play a secondary 6th man roll.

The Bulls might be the only team he deserves to start.

Looks like we are going to bring in Pat Bev. I'm sure this scares the locker room more than it does opponents.

Is Beverly > Caruso and Ayo tandem?

Then why not move Caruso at the deadline?
Then why do this after you didn't?

The redundancy and wasted depth on this team is as frustrating to me as anything.

We have two of everything but no 5 that can kill consistently together.
