First, I would like to say, that while I loved Deng and a person and a player, the Bulls made the right move in trading him off. A long term contract on him would bite the Bulls in a couple of years.
So, let's talk about Noah. I have always been a huge fan and last season he really came into his own. He still suffers from getting foot and ankle injuries every so often and it seems hard for him to stay healthy for a whole season. With that being said, Noah has been on fire, and while most would have considered the Bulls lottery bound after the loss of Rose and the trade of Deng, they seemed to have come to life. I point to Noah!
Let's look at his numbers in the 10 games thus far in January.
14.9 ppg
14.7 rpg
5.2 apg
1.9 bpg
He has been a monster! Now if the Bulls can manage to get into the playoffs, they are likely one and done. It would take a perfect storm and the right match-up to make it to the second round. Short term I love the heart of this team. Long-term, an appearance in the playoffs is not as important as their placing in the draft. As a long time fan of the Bulls (since they drafted MJ when I was a kid) I will enjoy watching Noah play his heart out and worry about next season, next season...
