As you said yesterday and it still applies today, Swain can not spend one second in Chicago his rookie season. I do not care he is a "BG guy", Swain is simply not an NBA player right now.

Sellers/Atwell and Tome I can squint and see at least rotational players in the next couple of seasons. 

I really would like to see Wilson play with better talent than he did in the SL. 

Put Essengue on that train as well, don't know if he'll ever amount to anything.  But, whatever that may be is light years away. 

Guess the Bulls have until Halloween to pick up the option for his third year, if he doesn't show any signs of life in the G-league, Noa better start thinking about FA.

My kids love the Madagascar movies and I think we should call him Melman

Carr really looks like a fairly bad miss. Not that i expect him to be a star, but he sure looks like a good 6th man.

In time, I believe Swain will turn it around, on the other hand, Essengue' got a G season to show he's worth the investment.  My hot take - he's a bust, the Bulls won't pick up his option and he'll be back in Europe by 2028.

The Pelicans signed Benedict Mathurin to a 2/$16 million deal.  Good, I was worried the Bulls were going to try to get that chucker.  Not a winning player IMO.

That is a bad decision.

No one stands out and they can have tryouts for next year

I disagree; Stacey will be very hard to replace.  I'd rather they take it slow and try people out before making a permanent hire.

It's a bad decision for the continuity and calls in season, but a good long term decision. But yea, use it as an opportunity to find a natural fit.

I've been a huge fan of his work on college basketball. I doubt it's possible to get him full time but I think he'd be a fabulous partner for Amin.

Perhaps, assuming you give him a pass for his criminal activity from 2007-2012.
