Is it just me or has Zach LaVine’s return been a really stale conversation among Bulls fans? Maybe it’s because the Bulls are so awful only twelve people watched their last game. Or maybe it’s because since the Bulls are this bad people are hoping he doesn’t return, the Bulls tank, and have a shot at a higher draft pick.
General consensus supports the latter, but you know what? God dammit to Hell, I wanna see this kid play now. I want to see the main piece we gave Jimmy Butler up for; because you’re damn right I miss Jimmy. We all miss Jimmy even though he would have never led this team anywhere by himself. I’m happy we traded him. I’m happy we got something seemingly decent back for him in Lauri Markkanen and Kris Dunn– but I want to see the main attraction.
Even if he comes back it’s not like we’re going to suddenly sky-rocket to 40 wins! What the hell are you guys thinking? He’s coming off an ACL tear and he’s rusty. Not only that, but since when did Zach LaVine take over games and lift teams out of the lottery?
Nonsense people, nonsense.
Am I the only person who wants to be somewhat entertained by the Bulls while we lose? Am I the only sane person in Chicago?
Return of the Zach
Well whether I am or not it seems I may be getting my wish because ya boy Zach himself plans on donning a Bulls jersey in game action real soon– and by soon I mean mid-December.
“That’s what I’m going for, at least,” LaVine told the Chicago Sun-Times. “I’m going to see how practice goes, keep going through that, and keep my hopes high. As long as I’m progressing and doing what I need to on the court, this thing could go fast, and I could be out there playing with the guys.”
So there you have it. We might have a 2 percent less chance of getting the number one pick. Cry about it.
Cue it!
