IMO, Bulls start small enough that Pop could go super small with White, Murray, Forbes, DeRozan and Lyles. More likely Poeltl starts but I wouldn't put it past Pop to go microball out of the gates.

Hopefully Aldridge is only out tonight, tbh.

Is Metu ever playing?

Wish they would give more mins to Eubanks or Metu. Lyles is trash, those two can't be much worse can they?

[BlackAndWhite]

I wonder if Pop is even considering playing Demarre Carroll. The bulls game would be a good opportunity to give him a run

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Pop might get really confused if he has to change up his rotations too much. He'll scratch through Aldridge's name on the substitution chart and pencil in Poetl, and then in Poetl's backup rotation spot he'll just pencil in Marco. He seems to be able to remember that guy's on the roster. The short term memory keeps him from recalling anyone signed after 2015.

hopefully somebody’s being traded
