The Bulls Should NOT Trade Zach Lavine…..Reacting to Hot Takes

The Bulls Should NOT Trade Zach Lavine…..Reacting to Hot Takes

It has been months since we’ve done a hot tis video if you’ve been following the channel for a while you know I used to do these every week but I feel like they started getting a little stale with some of the same takes coming in every

Week but given we haven’t done one of these in a while the bull season is kind of turning around yet at the same time still a middle of the road team so I wanted to get your guys’ thoughts see where your head is at in assessing this

Roster and so I asked for you guys to give me some of your hottest takes on the channel Community Tab and we’ve got some good ones and it was a lot of Tak so apologies if I don’t get to yours but I’ll try to get to as many of these as I

Can so what’s going on everyone you’re listening to Bull Central here hope you’re all doing well real quick I don’t do this often but if you like this type of content whether you’ve been watching for a while or just starting to tune in consider subscribing cuz about 53% of

You watching are not subscribed helps me grow the channel deliver quality content to you guys and I would really appreciate it now this first take comes to us from Iowa all day if Zach continues to play the way he has been and although it’s only been three games

So he could go back to his old ways but if he continues to play the way way he has been I think we should keep him if he’s playing defense passing facilitating and not just playing ISO I definitely think we should keep him but I also wouldn’t be mad for a full

Rebuild so I did get a lot of similar takes like this things like maybe the Bulls should keep Zach if he can play like this this version of Zach can unlock what the Bulls need all of that and while I do agree that yes if Zach is

Going to keep playing like this locked in an engag not even just on defense which has been huge because we don’t see that often from Zach but not just on defense on offense as well well people forget Zach leading up to that trade request if you want to call it that he

Looked checked out on this team was taking bad shots playing selfish basketball not getting guys involved but if Zach can be this engaged a focused player in doing whatever he can to help this team win and buying into what this team is trying to do buying into the

Style of basketball they want him to play then yes I agree things need to be reconsidered as it relates to trading him but also just for the future of this team that said though the biggest thing that gives me pause in all of this is that I can’t shake the fact that Zach

Wanted to be traded he made it clear he wanted to go elsewhere and while I’m a Believer in people changing and obviously when you start winning that changes a lot of things but Zach more or less said he’s done here and unless he makes it clear to the front office and

The coaching staff hey you know what I was in a bad way to start the season I wasn’t playing well the team was losing I reacted In the Heat of the Moment I do still want to be here I’m committed to this team and will do whatever is needed

To help the team win until that happens and hey maybe it already has in private but until that happens it’s hard for me to believe that we won’t eventually see Zach going back to his old ways because keep in mind this is still a really small sample size and as I’ve said

Before that second game against Charlotte wasn’t anything to write home about it’s this most recent game against the rockets that has suddenly had everyone’s opinion change about Zach and it just seems a bit reactionary to me as if we forgotten everything that happened at the start of the Year this next one

Comes to us from Logan chest now Kobe white is a top 10o guard in the NBA oh man uh it’s a good hot take definitely hot but not absurd I don’t know if I would put Kobe in the top 10 yet that’s not to say that he can’t eventually get

There but there are just so many good point guards in the NBA I mean you have halberton Darren Fox Steph Dame Luca uh SGA Jaylen Brunson Tyrese Maxi I mean those are just some of the guys that come off the top of my head and that’s

Almost 10 right there I don’t think we can put Kobe top 10 he’s not far off I think in the top 15 would be more realistic but again he’s young he’s having a breakout season if he continues on this progress that we’ve been seeing he’ll be right on his way no question I

Would predict by next season as long as he keeps this up he’ll be a top 10 point guard in the NBA speaking of predictions if you like making predictions and maybe winning a little money on the side also getting free money I might add then you’re going to want to hear this offer

From Underdog fantasy the sponsor of this channel for those that aren’t familiar with Underdog let me tell you about the app and my personal favorite that I use on the app NBA pick thems with pick thems you can pick higher or lower on most player stats and win money

Based on the ones you get right you can pick higher or lower and you can win up to 20 times your money in a single night if you do five pick thems and you get them all right so if you think Kobe White is going to score more than 21

Points against the Warriors which based on the way he’s been trending is more than likely to be the case select hire and you can win some money and guys they’re offering viewers of this channel an exclusive offer if you use the promo code bull Central you’ll get your first

Deposit doubled up to $100 who doesn’t want free money right it’s really that easy it’s also a great way to support the channel as well I’ll leave a link to the site and the code in the description if you’re interested and let me know what picks you guys end up making next

We’ve got David jwa 555 keep Zack and trade Demar which is what I’ve been saying all along so I figur we would get some of these types of takes after the game against the Rockets here’s the thing and I’ll go back to what I said earlier it all depends on whether Zach

Wants to be here if Zach still wants to be traded then no why would you keep him keep him around to see if you can still convince him to stay like we still don’t know if this quote unquote new version of Zach where he’s engaged and playing

Well on both ends of the floor as a team player is just to increase his trade value to ensure that he gets traded Zach and his agent they know the market for him was pretty dismal when he was sitting on the bench with injury and they likely knew that there was a world

Where the Bulls wouldn’t move him if they couldn’t get much for him in return so while I love the way that Zach has been playing I love that he’s playing more team basketball I also don’t know if he’s doing this for the team or if he’s doing this to ensure that he gets

Traded he’s incentivized right now to not only play better for himself but also for his trade value I’d like to think that he’s just doing what he can for his teammates and trying to help the guys win but we don’t know we don’t know what his motives are and then as far as

Demar D roen I mean again a lot of this is reactionary because after Zach went down and dear was playing at a high level being more defal IAL and getting the most out of the young guys people were talking about man we should keep dear as this veteran leader for the

Young guys people were talking about extending him I just again a lot of this is reactionary prisoner of the moment that said though yeah I do still think it would make sense to trade dear if you can get decent value for him on an expiring contract because he’s not going

To be a part of the Bulls long-term plans and if he’s not going to take you to the next level then what are we doing here this next one comes to us from avoid coou okay uh but they say the only way I see the Bulls being a fun team is

If you trade Caruso for picks Demar for cam Johnson in a first round pick draft bronny Bulls need draft capital and some hope for the future they middle the road again well I won’t deny that the Bulls need draft capital for the future and a

Bit of a retool to this roster but yeah this isn’t the way to do it I’ve said many times I don’t think it’s worth trading Caruso unless you get a sizable haul for him in the form of multiple first round picks and I just don’t see any team offering that much for Alex

Guso and if you can’t get that for him then it’s not worth it Demar for cam Johnson in the first I mean why would the Nets ever do that why would effectively a rebuilding team they’re one of the biggest struggling teams in basketball right now why would they

Trade away one of their younger players and a pick for Demar in an expiring contract just doesn’t make any sense for the Nets and then drafting Brony I mean what so you can get maybe one good season of LeBron when he’s 40 and then have a player you likely can’t build

Around for the future it’ll sell tickets for sure it’ll get butts in the United Center I’m sure ownership would love going after bronny for that reason alone but no I don’t think that this move makes the Bulls suddenly a fun team again next we’ve got this one it’s the

Medical Department that’s holding this franchise back the most the history of our players being injured is no coincidence but a lack of skill from the medical staff um this is an odd one because well I think you could have a case for this in years past but more

Recently aside from Lonzo ball the Bulls have actually been very lucky when it comes to health and being very durable last season the Bulls had no major injuries to their core so far this season it’s only been Zach who’s missed some time and now Tory Craig for being a

Relatively older team compared to the rest of the NBA and keeping their big three mostly healthy in that span is actually pretty impressive and then the injury to Lonzo I mean that has just kind of been a freak thing that no one could have expected nor was it anything

They could really control I don’t blame the medical staff for that unfortunately Lonzo ball has just always been an injury-prone player since entering the NBA and that was a risk the front office took by bringing in a player with his injury history next we’ve got give Kobe

His keys nice the take is Billy Donovan’s biggest weakness in his coaching is he can’t handle balancing a team with multiple Stars I don’t know if I would say that his biggest weakness though because I feel like surprisingly he’s okay at managing star egos the biggest weakness is that he lets his

Stars do too much and doesn’t have the backbone to tell them when they’re doing something wrong he relies on the Stars too much to just take over games when they need it and to me seems like a bit of a pushover in having those hard conversations with star players he’s a

Player coach which is good sometimes but it can also be your downfall when it leads to players feeling entitled to do whatever they want next we’ve got the Jude 23 both do nothing at the trade deadline you know I was talking about this with my guy s from the Bulls gold

Podcast on the channel check out the Pod if you missed it by the way but I was talking about how it wouldn’t shock me if the Bulls simply did nothing at the deadline I mean we’ve seen them do it before they didn’t make any moves the last two deadlines even though everyone

Knew something even a small move on the margins needed to happen but to no avail and honestly with the way the team is playing slowly making their way back up in the standings they’re back in the playing picture guys are starting to play Better Together The Vibes are good

And also given the fact that the Bulls the front office anyway always seem to overvalue their players when it comes to the trade market I can see them finding themselves in a situation where they say eh we’re not really getting good offers why trade these guys when we’re playing

Better why not stick with the continuity approach let’s see how these guys finish out the season and regroup an assess in the off season it honestly would not Shock Me I’ll be pissed because even though the Bulls are playing better they still need to make changes to this group

Still a lot of holes and weaknesses in the roster so I’ll be pissed if they do nothing but it really wouldn’t surprise me if that ends up being the case it is a good hot take though because I feel most people assume the Bulls will no

Question make some kind of Splash of the deadline and to that I reply not so fast we know how this team has operated before the deadline anyway guys I’m going to end it there for this edition of your Bulls hot takes keep firing away the takes I’ll try to get more of these

Out there more often Bulls are taking on the Warriors tomorrow be on the lookout for the postgame video as always be sure to subscribe and I will see you in the next one
