Chicago Bulls in trouble – Arab -Basketball

The Chicago Bulls team threw hundreds of millions of dollars to doubtful players. For a very long time, the team did not sparkle the success of Michael Jordan. This year, Chicago Bulls intends to make a stir at the eastern conference. The Chicago Bulls team was very active in the transfer market during the holiday season. The team has already a main star – Zach Lavin. He had the best season in his career, played in his first game of all stars, and in the summer he became the Olympic champion with the American national team. And in “Chicago” they are ready to build a team around it. In the spring, Nicole Fotchivic was brought to help the ice collapse, and in its season, they made many prominent exchanges. The Chicago Balls team has spared no money on the contracts, but in the next two years, this “generosity” may have opposite results. Some Chicago Bulls has already felt the effect of the launch of the Lauure Markkanen free agent to Cleveland Cavaliers.

What happened with the team?

In Ovssen, the promising Longo Paul was the first to join the team. This is a high -quality protection point with a high intelligence rate of the game and strong defensive skills. Average 15 points per game last season. It is a good signature, especially for Zac Avalch. However, the ball was granted a four -year contract and $ 80 million, which is an extra payment for a representative who is not very confident in throwing the ball from behind the bow. Especially taking into account other expenses, which causes the club to a very difficult financial position.

Chicago Bulls not only pushed Longo Paul. So the Dimar Derozan exchange of San Antonio under the “Sign and Trade” scheme was very expensive for the Chicago Bulls team. Demara Tadius Young and Al -Faruq Amin were granted, in addition to choosing a defender in the first round of the 2025 draft and two selection in the second round in 2022 and 2025. The player himself will get $ 85 million in three years. Why this size in terms of financing is unclear. Derozan had few options to practice a profession in the free agencies market. Lakers did not need him after Russell Westprook signed, and they were ready to give him the minimum contract or so. Cleibers could not, for example, could not issue more than $ 5.3 million to exclude average level. The Chicago show may be the largest that Demar Derozan received. In the end, he chose the money and it was clear that he was right. The same is not possible to say about Chicago Bulls. The Derozan contract will definitely add to a “non -replaceable” list.

Dimar Derozan is 32 years old. In addition to age, he has two serious problems – he does not know how to play the defense and throw triple throws. In addition, Demar Derozan is a permanent need for the ball, which may negatively affect the effectiveness of Zach Lavin herself in the attack. At the same time, Demar Derozan cannot deal with the role of the playmaker and cannot launch an attack. But like Zach Lavin with Nicolas Futfic. In the defense, their trio is considered a disaster. In general, more problems are expected to occur on the site from Demar Derozan. It seems that “San Antonio” threw a mountain from his shoulders, and Dimar Derozan was separated. For some reason, the bulls did not skimp on the player’s contract, which was not traded on the market at all. Dimar Derozan has a name made with Toronto Raptors. Although the Canadian club suffered from continuous failures in the Playoff, Tottenham, led by Demar Derozan, did not participate in the qualifiers for the past two seasons.

Alex Carroso was also receiving an extra salary in Chicago as well. Not embarrassed, but the truth remains. He is a powerful RPG player with good defense skills, but $ 37 million over four years is too much for him. Especially when you think that the place to pay for the club remains from start to finish. Next year, Chicago Bulls will face a very important task and no less costly – the extension of Zach Lavin. This summer, it can be re -signed for a period of four years with a salary of $ 105 million, but the player, apparently, depends on a more impressive amount and the contract will be expected. If in the next season the symbolic season will be able to qualify for the “maximum” – 235 million dollars in five years. If not, the player will get an agreement with a maximum of $ 200 million. Yes, really. Even expensive. But it seems that “Chicago” does not have a place you go, because you don’t want to lose the main team star. But will Zach Lavigin agree to the extension itself … other clubs cannot provide such a generous salary?

The bottom line

The bottom line is: excess payments for ordinary players, excess payments, and the choices that were spent. With the current assortment, “Chicago” cannot claim more. Chicago Bulls, of course, looks stronger than last year. But relying on winning after the season for this team is unlikely. And the money to improve the situation in the future, Chicago Bulls will not have.

Legendary Shakil O’Neil evaluated the “Chicago” update horizons in a very reasonable way in the 2021/2022 season.

Chicago will try to work like Golden State. Four “young”, they will extend the defense, shoot, run, and Zach Lavin will throw three drawings, Lonzo Ball will try to involve everyone, and it will be an experience. “I wish Chicago good luck in their experience, and I hope everything will go well, but … you cannot win the championship with this team,” O’Neel said.

Chicago Bulls is very far from the hero team at the time of Michael Jordan. Even the competitiveness in the early past decade, led by Derek Rose, is unlikely to shine for the Illinois Club. But Carnesovas, immediately after the appointment, said that the team’s goal is to win the title. It is possible that he will be disappointed in the coming years.
