I kind of like this quote. Just open and honest about it. No one gets paid to play Defense (don’t fact check this) so Jabari isn’t about to try in 2018. I appreciate not getting our hopes up. Reminds me of the GOAT tweet by Cardale Jones. We’re not here to play school.

And yes in case you were wondering (you probably werent), I have completely talked myself into this signing. 2 year deal, second being a team option, is exactly what you should be doing for a guy that was the second pick in the draft 4 years ago. If it works out you just got yourself a huge asset for nothing more than salary. If it fails, well then that means back to the lottery which isn’t bad either. Taking risks like this is exactly what the Bulls should be doing, even if Jabari won’t be playing any Defense this year.

PLUS, I bet Jabari shows up in great shape, cut up and ready to prove the haters wrong. Diet starts tomorrow is what I’m thinking, yup, next time you see Jabari he’ll be absolutely shredded. Just needed to sign with a team before he got in the gym, that’s what I’m going with here.
