PWC (The 2044-2045 Chicago Bulls Presser)
Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2021 11:42 pm
Hello Bulls basketball fans and esteemed members of the PBSL Press Writers Corps,
Last season we took a step back to retool and ended up somehow making the Playoffs With, Crazily, a 37-45 record. Despite getting swept, we never expected to be there, and it helped some of our young guys gain some valuable playoff experience...and the ones who are still on the roster this year are sure gonna need it.
Anyone who's been following this offseason has seen us make not one, but an unprecedented, fifty-seven-like TWO trades, and thought "PWC", which we think means: Possibly Winning Championship. But we'll talk about those moves. They cost us most of the players we had from last season, but four Players Worthy of Coming back remain: Luigi Leathers, Bryce Eggert, Les Kim, and Talen Horton-Tucker.
Last year, Bryce Eggert played a solid frontcourt role, both as a starter and a reserve depending on what the situation called for. He's a sound rebounder who can block and score inside. Another one of our bigs, Luigi Leathers, not only has a great name, but he's a 2nd year guy who's Progressing With Class. Les Kim played a huge role for us--averaging 20 points per game, making 1st team all defense. He's definitely going to be a good player for years to come. He came out of training camp a step slower, but he's young and has plenty of time to recover.
And Talen had another offseason marked by high work ethic and solid progression. While he's capable of a little bit of everything, we really expect him to be a glue guy for our starting lineup. When playoffs come around, we know we can plug him in in a multitude of spots and he'll be doing the dirty work required for our offensive specialists to do what they do.
And our offensive specialists may need no introduction, but we know you want to hear about them (or at least we want to talk about them).
Primarily, We Courted the Blazers for Luguentz Dort, but after realizing that every sane team was doing that, too, we shifted focus towards Michael Sneed and were able to agree on a deal to bring him to Chicago. We're extremely Pleased With Completing a trade for Sneed because Mike looks like he can have a breakout year. He could surprise a lot of People Who Consider Wiseman our top key Player. Who Could fault them for that. Wiseman is great, and we'll get to him next, but Sneed also has excellent size and speed for his position, he can create his own shot, drill it from deep, and his athleticism is off the charts.
James Wiseman, the MVP of last year's Playoffs, Wants Championship number two, and with the 76ers financial need to move on, we knew we could get a player of his caliber at a great Price. We Certainly think James Wiseman will be a leader for this squad, and with his athleticism and skill set for his height, he adds to a very long lineup that can score and defend.
Finally, there's nobody with a stronger resume when it comes to leadership than Daniel Yandell. As a 6'7" PG, he's long posed matchup problems to opponents on both ends of the court. He's one of the league's best at steals, and his Passing Will Create opportunities for everyone on the roster. He's led the Spurs to two championships, and we're hoping he has one or two more in him.
We're really looking forward to seeing what this team can do on the court. There are a handful of teams that look incredibly strong this season, but we welcome the opportunity to Prove Why Chicago is the most dominant franchise in PBSL.
