The season turned out as another disappointment for the Chicago Bulls and to be sure, the team will want to run a more spirited campaign next season. Their luck should get better having a certified superstar on the lineup, someone like the caliber of Anthony Davis.
Now, why would Davis walk away from a superteam such as the Los Angeles Lakers and join up with the Bulls, whose glory days date back to the domination of Michael Jordan in the 1990s?
Fadeaway World offered an answer: AD will remain a superstar with the Bulls plus he gets to be the certified franchise player in the windy city. The report added Davis can play in tandem with Bulls rising star, Zach LaVine, who has been described as "young and vibrant."
That should mean long years of a possible fruitful partnership if the two clicked, and unlike with AD's collaboration with LeBron James. There is no denying that Davis and James make for an awesome partnership on the court but it can't be denied that time is not on the side of the Lakers superstar.
So a move to Chicago is forward-looking on the part of AD and the switch will certainly prove a game-changer for the Bulls. Davis starring for the Bulls could be the missing link that the team has been looking for and if that is the case, playing in the playoffs in the seasons to come should never be a problem for the 27-year-old power forward.
Citing the analysis shared by Preston Ellis of Bleacher Report, the same report indicated that Chicago has to be on top of the list if AD will decide not to re-sign with the Lakers next season. For Los Angeles to be interested, the Bulls have to offer a package that consists of draft picks and possibly Otto Porter.
Yet what would prompt Davis to change his jersey again after only a year in California? Two things, according to Ellis, and one is the possible exit of James from the game. If the King would suffer a serious injury at 35, it could be that it's the end of the road for him and the Lakers' game will surely be altered.
That should be enough reason for AD to look for a more competitive game elsewhere. Or as Ellis suggested, the Lakers crashing out of the playoffs prematurely should be a strong argument for the Lakers star to look beyond his present team.
According to Fansided, the Lakers heading home early from Orlando is not impossible at all. It has been a dismal showing so far for the team, winning just two of the six games they played in the bubble city.
The signs are hard to ignore that the Lakers are underperforming and the danger of getting eliminated from the playoffs is real. More so, the team unable to adjust quickly and the subsequent failure to appear in the NBA Finals could convince Davis to start for the exit door, the report added.
