To quote Bluto Blutarsky, “Nothing is over until we decide it is.” It’s a bit more diluted these days with the stars doing more of the take the money and run stuff because of the huge salaries available when you resign with your own team. i just think it feels cheap by comparison.


I know the Celtics pretty much invented the Superteam and history doesn't much mention that much outside of giving Aurbach his flowers, but at least back then every team wasn't trying to do it. I just can't see where we look back in 50 years and hold the accomplishments of that era to the same level. Golden State is obviously not immune to this criticism despite that team mostly being an organic phenomenon. Yes, LeBron has an impressive amount of finals runs but how many of them after his first Cleveland stint were as impressive as what Jimmy is doing right now? It just doesn't feel the same watching a collective of hall of famers throttle inferior competition over and over instead of getting to the mountain top through sheer force of will and determination. While I won't deny all the player movement did create a certain level of excitement around basketball to the point that the off-season became more interesting than the regular season, I can already see where that era will be referred to with sort of an asterisk. Trevor Hoffler: With the vengeful return of parity and the most interesting playoffs in a long time, it has me wondering about how history will look back on the Superteam Era. I still believe there will be Bulls change just can’t figure out what. We’ll see if they really match big offers. And they say they want to keep most of the role players. My guess is the Lakers will retain Davis. I actually believe DeRozan and Vučević, both as close to iron men as the NBA has these days, would be better for the Lakers than the inconsistent and oft-injured, if more talented, Davis. Probably for some of the same reasons that like Minnesota with Gobert the Bulls invested substantially in Vučević. It does seem the Bulls really want to retain Vučević. Minnesota really needs a playmaker, but already has a high scoring two guard in Edwards. They gave too much for Gobert to give him up for not much, and it’s been obvious he and Towns are a bad fit. Back to where it all happened for Zach? I do believe Towns will be traded. The Bulls have had numerous chances to engage the Knicks and Rose and haven’t.
DO I NEED TO PLAY RISEN 1 BEFORE RISEN 2 HOW TO
He still knows how to run an offense and score he may not play in the air, but he still can beat most anyone off the dribble. He never caused a problem, suggesting he’d fit off the bench or in a limited role. We know he sat much of last season, but the indications I get are that he has plenty left. I’ve been among many to suggest adding Rose. Sam: Sounds more likely for discussion than destiny. If he can just add some reliable shooting, he could find a spot in the rotation with uncertainty regarding players like Derrick Jones Jr. He seems to have good instincts, hustle and reflexes. That said, he was angry about not playing, which I liked, and which could motivate him to really work at his weaknesses. I saw a lot of hustle, but not enough NBA skill yet.

His shot by NBA standards was poor, he didn’t handle the ball well enough and didn’t show an ability to run offense. Terry was exceptionally raw even for a two-and-done. Unlike, say, Miami, the Bulls regulars didn’t miss games. Terry never got a chance to really play this season, which I understood since there wasn’t much room for him given the limited rotation and the day to day urgency for at least getting to the play-in round without Lonzo Ball. So guys who aren’t playing often are working out mostly against assistant coaches. In-season development is somewhat overrated since teams rarely practice because they prefer to rest the veterans. A player can vastly improve in the offseason the truth is that’s when they do. I heard he’s headed for DeMar DeRozan’s summer boot camp later this month, and will play for the Bulls Summer League team in July.
