2027-2028 Chicago Bulls Pre-season Presser
Posted: Sun May 12, 2019 11:21 pm
Welcome to the 2027-2028 edition of the Chicago Bulls pre-season press conference.
Last season ended on a sour note. We made a huge push to trade for Andrew Wiggins and were able to notch another division title. Unfortunately, we blew a 3-0 lead in the first round of the playoffs, and that's a failure that I'm chalking up to coaching. Our best players played well, but they weren't out there in their best positions, and the only thing we can take away from that is a learning experience. We lost a rock, paper, scissors game over where to play Andrew Wiggins, but the Bucks didn't flinch and ended up keeping Aubrey Broomfield guarding him. Still...we would hope that a player of Andrew's talents could win any matchup, and now that the team has spent the summer working hard and training together, we think they'll be extremely cohesive by the time the playoffs hit. Quite frankly, putting last year behind us, we think this is a team deserving of being in the championship conversation.
Of course, there's a lot of new terrain with the divisional shakeups. We're interested to see how that plays out, and we're looking forward to seeing some teams from the old Western Conference more often. Our fans will have a chance to see stars like Jeffrey Duren and Vernon Desantis one at least one more time at the United Center. We do think that our conference has some of the most talented teams in it, so we're going to be counting quite a bit on guys like Leroy, Wanderlei, and Patrick Edmunds to have their best years yet.
We're most excited to add Jaylen Brown to the Bulls. We think the offensive firepower he'll bring to our second unit will be very important to our team's success. With Jamey Brown (no relation) being a strong inside force to pair with Jaylen, we feel like we have a yin and yang combo where both halves are Brown. Like a brown circle. We also looked at a lot of backup point guards in training camp and felt that John Campbell was best suited to run that second squad. Meanwhile, Leroy Haugh looked very strong in camp. We expect that he'll make a lot of progress as a floor general this season.
There are plenty of strong teams in the league this year, but this Chicago Bulls team was built to be a championship contender. Woe be to the team that has our 2028 1st at the trade deadline.
Please post your questions in the comments thread.
