LOCKED ON BULLS, 7/25/2018 - Zach LaVine vs. Andrew Wiggins, Bulls Mailbag + Voicemails (AD conspiracy theory, stop talking about Holiday, would you rather, and more) Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

Locked On Bulls kicks off the show talking about a poll Jordan ran last night, which player will have a better NBA career, Zach LaVine or Andrew Wiggins? Jordan explains why he feels in some sense they will always have a connection (whether they like it or not) and surprisingly Zach LaVine himself weighed in on the poll on Twitter. Matt explains the poll might be a bit bias from the combination of Bulls fans and Zach LaVine retweeting it, nonetheless the guys discuss their thoughts. It leads them into a conversation about how fans might be giving LaVine an unfair tag as a "me first" type player.

The rest of the episode is dedicated to taking voicemails, texts, and tweets in our weekly segment of Bulls mailbag. Some of the topics discussed on today's show include not talking about Justin Holiday's trade value ever again, a conspiracy theory that Chicago hosting All-Star Game 2020 is directly linked with potentially landing Anthony Davis, a game of "would you rather" Bulls edition, realistically where does Chandler Hutchison fit in this season, and does Lauri Markkanen own the best nickname among his draft class? All of this and so much more on Locked On Bulls.

The guys discuss how the Bulls have used their two-way contracts better than most NBA teams, and how this another low-risk, high reward move. The guys also touch briefly on Denzel Valentine's appearance in the Drew League this weekend and a video that is going viral.

The guys spend the rest of the episode going back to a voicemail they played late last week. Do Bulls fans believe that the Bulls moves this summer are more in line with the "business" model rather than a building a championship model? Jordan and Matt debate whether they feel like the moves made this summer leave the Bulls front office with some really difficult decisions to make in 2019 and 2020. Jordan believes that this team might be on the path to "really good, hardworking, competitive" rather than multiple time conference winner. Which path do you believe they are on?
