So with the way he’s playing have I 1 made a mistake dropping Lauri and 2 will he now get the starting role regardless of Mirotic & portis coming back?
i think Lauri will remain a starter. Bulls rebuilding and gonna give Lauri loooooong leash. I've been waiting for 3 years for #freebobbyportis
I think we're all getting a bit ahead of ourselves, aren't we? Is he going to steal the starting job because the actual starter got leveled by a punch? He's getting Wally Pipped? Where did you guys read this?
Thanks for giving us a sober look. guys at rotoworld blowing up Lauri...take it with a grain of salt i guess. Here's their latest blurb: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/2783/lauri-markkanen
Wow, that is a BALLSY claim to say he won't lose his starting job. That's the kind of thing you generally don't want to put in a blurb in case, y'know, the team doesn't feel likewise.
Hey, maybe he does get more mins after this, but I still think Niko is in the plans. They paid him. He's going to play.
I think Niko is starting when he comes back because he's better than Lauri. Markkanen has been playing well but he still has some glaring issues and was hot today. He will definitely struggle as most rookies do and he can't create his own shot.
I feel like mirotic will start and Lauri will support off the bench whilst portis just sits after what happened? I’m still on the mirotrain but there’s so much hype on twitter and fantasy bball articles I’m wondering if I’ve made a mistake? Like locked on are hyping him for the starting role, along the basis that the bulls can’t get worse so they may as well. There’s also articles claiming no one has heard from mirotic since everything happened and he’s considering leaving, treating it as hearsay but still worrying.
I am reading that Nikola Mirotic does not plan to return to the NBA, May go overseas. source - Dan Bernstein (CBS Chicago Senior Columnist)
Well, if he goes overseas, then yes, he loses his starting job. But I still feel like everyone is getting ahead of themselves. Dude is upset - let's see how this plays out.
I think it’ll be fine. Bulls fans saying Lauri is the new MJ so....
Lauri ftw! He is making a good case to keep the job, Mirotic situation doesn't seem a easy one to solve.
