Well, I don’t even know if he dresses tonight, let alone see the floor. But you would think his (and Julian) arrival would spark some energy kicking off this 6-game home stand!

Well it certainly seems like the trade has energized the fanbase... so I'd like to think (hope) the players start showing more consistent effort.
But that's just not how it works sometimes.

Both Ayo or Phillips are on the injury list for tonight. What a crappy deal by TC to trade 2 healthy guys for 2 wounded ones.

That was all part of the game FNG. They were never really injured but the perception that they were allowed us to get them for the price we did. I don't want to give up those 2042 and 2043 unprotected 2nd round picks because from what I understand those drafted are going to be absolutely stacked with talent!!!

I think Ayo played 28 minutes their last game for the Bulls

Both are listed as out -- pending trade. Not all the Is and Ts have been dotted or crossed, I guess.

He's listed as having a quad injury, but you're right, he played in his last game with the Bulls. This is more related to completing the trade as Tim said.

That's typical with trades, I'm just glad he isn't hurt
