If yall want to get technical, Lauri was in a Bulls uniform for 4 seasons, but actually played less than 3 full season. He averaged 50 games per season his last 3 years in Chicago. Only Anthony Davis can get away with that.

@odonnellcaleb

Жыл бұрын

Because he wasn't effective. I always thought Lauri had potential like he's showing now. Literally would say "the second we trade Lauri he's going to go on to be an all star". The other players weren't the problem...it was how the coaches used him. They basically used him as a stretch 4, stick him at the 3 point line for spacing reasons, never let him drive to the hoop or catch the ball on the elbows. By not utilizing his other skills he started to regress as a shooter too. So when the team is forcing you to be just a shooter, and you're missing a lot of shots, you're not going to get the ball. Lauri was even telling everyone he wasn't being used correctly. He'd say it in the press, he would bring it up every off season, but instead of giving him a chance to prove he's right everyone just rolled their eyes. All while calling him soft...even though he was desperately trying to open up his game that would show he wasn't. He needed the opportunity he has now, to be the number one option. He wasn't going to get that opportunity in Chicago or Cleveland, so it's good he is getting it now. Now in the future if he ends up being a 2nd or 3rd option again he has tape he can point to that will prove he's much better utilized when he's not just a stretch 4.

Take the starters out and you are left with a full roster of NBA players. The starters would have put in the majority of minutes during the first game, right? So EVERYONE ELSE would be ready to go and could play with much higher minutes. To get blown out by 56 means they should all lose their jobs. Those are all NBA players you are talking about. It is not like those players had just put in 40 minutes the day before and were now asked to put in another 40 and got blown out. Why are you making excuses for millionaires that showed they do not deserve to be in the end. If I was the team owner I am trading virtually everyone involved with that blowout loss.

He scored almost 19 ppg in his second season. He was on a solid tragectory even with coaches who didn't know how to use him. It's sad that we let someone like that walk. In the course of the last three years we've a few former Bulls playing significantly better for other franchises (Lauri, Wendell, Cameron Payne, etc.).

As a Cavs fan so happy for Lauri's huge jump in play and huge success.

I always liked Lauri, even if he was a real bad case of 'wrong place, wrong time'. Glad to see him doing well in Utah.

did jj ever reply to jerry west completely bodying him??

Boylen is a completely baffling story of failing upwards. He was a disaster of a coach at the University of Utah--he ran that program straight into the ground, to such an extent that it still hasn't totally recovered. Then, after the U fired him, he somehow conned his way into assistant jobs with the Pacers, Spurs, and Bulls and got Hoiberg's job when he was fired. Boylen had zero business being an assistant in the NBA, let alone a HC. What he ever did to convince anyone he deserved those jobs is beyond me.
