Not happening. He would have stayed out another week if we had a trade line up.

I wouldn't be too sure.

He may be playing to try and up his trade interest. Probably isn't a trade lined up, but if he plays well this week and a bit Jan 15 could very well be close to when he's traded, especially if the Lakers are involved.

I hope he is isn’t traded if it’s the Lakers because I don’t want anything from the Lakers.

Zach allows GS to run the same system

I think Kerr & the Bulls FO can get a deal done. Kerr also, we all know, has interest in Caruso.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens. Bulls help those guys and they also help us with Kuminga/Moody level talents + frp's, depending on how the deal is structured.

Easier to trade him when hes on the floor getting effortless buckets. No market my a**. We’ll be fine with finding a trade partner by the deadline. Keep going Zach!

Trust me, winning cures everything! We are going to regret it instantly if we did trade Zach! Think of it.. the best thing that ever happened to us, Coby, Pat and Ayo.. even Dalen are now playing much better!

If we keep winning he won’t be traded. Or if he is traded it won’t be for the type of crap return I keep seeing suggested.

We have until February 8th. Lets see if he can fit this squad.

Great game without 2 of our rotation players. Terry played great in his start. Really helped facilitate things. I think he should start going forward. The time of guy who can start and doesn't have the ego where he needs to finish.

I'd start
1 White
2 Lavine
3 DDR
4 Terry
5 Vuc

Dinish with same lineup but replace Terry with Caruso

A second lineup of Caruso-Ayo-Williams-Drummond is very good. Then you add in Craig.

I was adamant you had to trade LaVine. I don't think that's the case anymore. Try to trade Carter for a vet PF.

This is a playoff team

1 White-Ayo
2 Lavine-Caruso
3 DDR-
4 Terry-Williams-Craig
5 Vuc-Drummond

Best case scenario would be for lavine to be back and we continue winning. It would demonstrate that lavine can contribute to winning and us having 29 assist tonight proves the ball can still move with him here

Some teams are getting desperate as the season is getting away from them. Lakers or Golden state might put together a great deal involving a 3rd team to pry lavine from us.

This is hilarious, the other thread was "get this bum off this team, I want him gone, is he traded yet etc etc".

The Bulls win 1 game with him in the line-up and its all sunshine and rainbows.

Would you preferred for Zach to go 1-9 shooting with minimal other contributions and we lose/struggle to beat a bad Charlotte team? No. We need him flashing his scoring and playing within the team, while winning games. Tonights result was good for us and starts getting Zach’s trade value on the right track. A step in the right direction. I think everyone still wants us to move him and get as much as possible in return.

Watching the Hornets tonight is what we'd look like if we don't get a decent player back for Zack. Much rather keep him than trade him for trash.

No. I want to move him if we can get a really good return that help be better in the future or right now. I’m not on the “he needs to go for whatever we can get” boat.

Warriors and Lakers reportedly increase their interest in Zach.

We should not listen to Lakers unless Reaves is involved. It's Kuminga for the Warriors.

No, I want him to perform well, not sure why you would assume I'd want otherwise.

There are plenty that don't want to move him or have changed their minds.

Zachs name was often slandered in the old thread and now the Bulls win 1 game against a bad Charlotte team and all of a sudden all is forgotten.
Go Bulls... I guess!? Right!?
