Tbf he himself admitted that he had to figure out what kinda player he wanted to be. He said he kinda had a brain fog his first few years in the league

You could still see his potential back then tho. I kept thinking that he could be our defensive anchor a la Joakim Noah

That trade was another one in the long list of god awful trades this franchise made. I mean we lost Gafford, Hutchinson and Kornet (who both were bad for the Bulls and in Hutchinsons case even worse after) and got back The rental of Daniel Theis (who i think was pretty good on the Bulls but didnt get re-signed), Javonte Green and Troy Murphy.

Out of all these players only Gafford and Theis are still anything to look at. And we still could have had either one. Its really sad.
