Pretty good signing for the Bulls. I think it's enough to at worst get them into the bottom half of the playoffs. At best, a possible #4, if they have good chemistry. Don't expect them to be ahead of the Nets/76ers/Bucs, unless injuries are involved. Though, I think they are on par with/slightly better or worse than the Knicks/Hawks/Heat. The East should be pretty strong for 2021-22. Top Tier: Nets/Bucks/76ers Mid Tier: Hawks/Heat/Knicks/Celtics Lower Tier: Wizards/Hornets/Pacers Wild Cards: Bulls/Pistons
Doesn't seem like the Bulls will offer Lavine a max. But Bulls should be competitive in the bottom half of the Eastern playoff race for the next two seasons.
