If Golden State ends up with the first pick in the draft, I'm going to puke.

Jimmy Butler's been great for Miami -- exactly what they needed.

Chris paul can still play at a high level eventhough hes playing more off ball this year.

This doesn't surprise me. Chris Paul has a very good and convincing argument to be the second-best point guard to ever play the game. His game was always suited to last for a long time too as he relies on skill and smarts over athletic ability.

Paul, gallo, and adams. I don't know how these guys are losing so many games.

Paul or gallo is an excellent basketball fit for our club because of our new style of play. I just don't think rosas will be interested due to their age.

Watch him play. The bulls are better when he isnt playing or his involvement is limited. He makes alot of really stupid basketball plays.

Bulls could be up late in the game and hed launch a 3 pter near half court with 20 seconds left on the clock, then chase for the rebound or steal taking himself out of the play.

But if hed agree to bring a 6th man, hed be great here off the bench.

Where do you find these ratings? Was looking at advanced stats the other day but this is one I couldn't find.

Lavine on court, bulls are -7.6
Lavine off the court, bulls are +7.1

Thats a crazy swing.

That is so unfortunate. Imagine if he had a good b-ball IQ to go along with his b-ball skills and athleticism. He'd be freakin' incredible. Instead, he seems to be a liability. I think he might have the worst +/- of all the starters, which means it's not necessarily the guys he's playing with bringing him down!

I think the Bulls are kind of stuck for now in that he's their best scorer and signed to a fairly large deal. I'm not sure bringing him off the bench is feasible.
