If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

I don’t know. Once in awhile you can do a meniscus thing once and its over. When things happen more than once, watch out. Given a choice of injuries, give me the ACL over a meniscus.

It’s not the meniscus it’s the bone bruise that’s causing the issue . It’s in the same area he had the surgery

Uh huh, its all a riddle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a knee. If you think we know what’s going on in that knee, we don’t.

This was expected. I wouldn’t be surprised if he misses most if not all the season. Because theses things linger and most of the times get worse before they get better.

Not sounding good. Almost sounds like the surgery went bad based on results.

Impressive Friday afternoon bad news drop.

If I had to bet, Lonzo is effectively done as a player. That really sucks and is terrible, but I think that’s the reality of the situation.

A competitive Bulls team would trade him. This Bulls team will limp along with Dragic and pocket the $15m insurance payout on top of the $15m they’re going to get from staying under the tax. That’s a max salary in Jerry’s pocket right there.

Bulls can always void his contract if he is not medically cleared to play. AKME just need to be smart enough when to do it.

Hopefully he still plays a good chunk of the season/post season.

If not, then I think the team needs to evaluate the roster going forward. I know his value will be low, but if he can't stay healthy then you can't rely on him.

I think we all saw this coming.

Let’s hope Ayo is prepared to take 5+ 3PA per game.

Sad but not shocking. The real question os, who starts at PG between Caruso, Ayo and Dragic? I think you could make and argument for any of the 3 but I think it should probably be Caruso.

If healthy he is significantly better than Ayo and probably always will be.

Agree, the East is deep this year. Celtics, Sixers, Heat, Bucks, Nets, Cavs, Hawks, and Raptors are all clearly better.

The Bulls will be fighting with the Knicks, Hornets and Wizards for the play in.
