Who do the Bulls need to sign to salvage the offseason after the lottery?
The author is calling on the Bulls front office — Gar Forman, John Paxson, and Jerry Reinsdorf — to make an aggressive push to sign Kemba Walker. He believes Kemba on the Bulls would make them a surefire playoff team with the potential for a deep run.
Why does the author say Cleveland and New York fans can't complain about the lottery results?
The author points out that Cleveland has landed three number one picks in the last eight years and none of those players are still on the team, so they have no right to complain. As for New York, he argues they would have either ruined Zion's career or traded him away in an Anthony Davis deal anyway.
