Fans Revolt: Bulls’ Roster Decision Sparks Anger Among
While the Chicago Bulls are amid a rebuild, they are still trying to remain competitive. With a 3-3 record through their first six games, the Bulls have been a tougher opponent than some expected.
Chicago’s three wins have come over the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Orlando Magic. All three of these teams expect to be in the playoffs, making the victories more impressive for the Bulls.
Trying to find that balance between remaining competitive and developing their youth, the Bulls made a very controversial roster decision on Saturday.
Via Bulls: “Roster Update: Matas Buzelis has been assigned to the @WindyCityBulls.”
Buzelis was selected 11th overall by Chicago in the 2024 NBA draft. Wanting to see their first round pick get an extended opportunity at the NBA level, Bulls fans have been reacting to this move.
Via @AsteadWH: “Come onnnnnnn”
Via @chisportsross: ” #FREEMATAS (he’ll actually be able to play so this is a good thing)”
Buzelis is one of several NBA rookies to be assigned to the G League recently, as that season is now right around the corner.
