Well I guess I can kiss this goodbye, despite the fact I made good moves that extended greatly the window of my team and even made them better in the short term (despite doubt from many GMs I'd even make the playoffs). But this is really a popularity contest, so I dunno. Let's pick a GM.
An injury to Harden will force him to get some starts between now and the end of the season, but he's going to wind up having played about 75% of the season off the bench. Currently averaging 17.0 ppg and 1.9 spg in just 23.8 mpg (a PER of 23.7).
The 2015-2016 season was a time of great change for the Chicago Bulls. While, initially, they brought back the same team, they were in their third year of the repeater tax...and in deep, too. Even though most of their contracts would fall off for the following season, the Bulls decided that they could part with James Harden for the promising (and already productive) Victor Oladipo, whose rookie contract will give them plenty of cap space to put together a monster team while still keeping them competitive this year. They were able to part ways with longstanding Bull Paul Millsap.
But there was one man they were shopping who the Bulls just couldn't part ways with...even for a deal that was very fair. That one man was their 6th man. Ramon Sessions.
Oh, sweet Ramon. Where would the Bulls have been without him? Well, according to his 5.2 (and counting!) Estimated Wins Added, they'd be sitting in the 7th seed, forced to face the Heat in the 1st round of the playoffs...the team that ousted them the last two seasons.
In just 23 minutes, Ramon was able to rack up a stat line of 8.8 PPG, 2.4 RPG, and 5 APG -- leading the Bulls in that last category! With a current 16.9 PER, he's been very efficient on the offensive end. and his true shooting percentage is second on the team at .558.
While he hasn't started a single game this season, reports from the Bulls camp are that he'll probably crack the starting lineup in the playoffs as his unselfish, veteran play and playoff experience will be an enormous factor in their playoff run.
