[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1982392, member: 623415"] I guess that depends on your definition of sustainable. They’re in the #10 spot currently. Do I think they can stay there or maybe get to #8? Sure, maybe. Do I think they could get to #5? No. And will this version of this team be better next year. No. So sure, relative mediocrity is sustainable. But I don’t think their Dec play means this team is on the rise making its way to a championship contender. The Bulls playing well without LaVine and now Vucevic just supports what I said in first post. Should have traded those guys in off season. Now both have lost more trade value. And it certainly appears they would be no worse off now without them all year, and they’d have draft assets. It’s tough to win a championship, and I don’t expect Bulls to win one or even contend for one every year. But a solid playoff team 8 out of 10 years, and home court advantage in playoffs for at least a series or two for 3 of this 8 years would be nice. Haven’t seen anything from Arturas yet that makes me confident he’s the guy to get us there. [/QUOTE]
