Who would even be on the projected starting 5 for the Bulls?

Dunn, Wade, Zipser, Mirotic, Lopez?

Is that the worst team in the East?

Last season they were dead last in 3pt attempt rate, and 20th in percentage from there. Despite this they had the 10th best offense?

Lavine is a better 3pt shooter than Butler, but I think if they sign a good stretch 4 and an off the bench shooter they should be alright. Butler will help a lot on defense, and they were nearly the worst defensive team in the league last season

KAT and Wiggins are both really good offensively. Butler helps tremendously on the defensive side, and also gives them another shot creator for their 4th quarter woes. A stretch 4 would be really nice though.

Leaf and Turner will stay out on the 3 point line and the guards will play in the post.

He makes another good point. Lavine is a RFA in a year. If he comes back from the ACL, they'll have to pay out the nose for him.

So basically if Lavine comes back and is good the Bulls are going to have to pay him like $70 million next offseason.

In the 2016-17 season alone:

Bulls trade: Tony Snell (40% 3 point shooter) for Micheal Carter Williams
Bulls trade: Taj Gibson, McDermott, 2nd rounder for Cameron Payne, Anthony Morrow, Joffrey Lauvergne
Bulls trade Jimmy Butler, 16th overall pick for 7th overall, Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn

Tony Snell for MCW(1), Butler for Dunn(2) and Levine(3 kinda), and then they traded Taj Gibson (holy poo poo) for Cameron Payne (4), Joffrey Lauvergenene, and the ghost of Anthony Morrow

Can't figure out who the fifth point guard is but literally every trade they've made since they fired Thibs has been garbage and they haven't hit on a draft pick since...

wait for it

Jimmy Butler!

They were bad with Zach too. The team isn't ready to compete yet, but they are now a playoff caliber squad. Jimmy fits the timeline of Towns and Wigs hitting their primes.

If the Timberwolves waive Jordan Hill's $4.1m non-guaranteed deal (newly drafted Patton should be their third string center) that gives them $23m in cap space. They could be big players in free agency.
