This ‘Cameron Payne as the backup PG’ thing is weird, dumb, and indicative of the Bulls directionless roster construction.
This isn’t meant to pile on Payne, but the Bulls for continuing their divergent paths best exemplified by Payne’s standing in the rotation.
KC Johnson, in the same Q&A article last week, unintentionally illustrated this dichotomy:
1)
Maybe this got lost in translation, but the Bulls are going through a rebuild. They want as few veterans as possible. And they’re determined to ride out the Cameron Payne experience.
2)
I’d guess they’re targeting free agency more than a high draft pick as of now.
