"Bulls' Self-Inflicted Woes Continue: Torrey Craig's Wild Alley-Oop Blunder"

During the Chicago Bulls' regular-season home finale against the New York Knicks, Torrey Craig's attempt to throw an alley-oop to himself off the backboard resulted in a miscommunication with teammate Andre Drummond, reflecting the team's inconsistent and error-prone season. The Bulls' lack of attention to detail was evident in various plays, contributing to their 128-117 loss and their sixth losing season in seven years. With only three regular-season games remaining and the Play-in Tournament approaching, the team needs to address their lapses and maintain discipline, especially with concerns about Andre Drummond's availability after he rolled his left ankle.

Golden State Warriors Miss Out on Top Targets in Free Agency

The Golden State Warriors missed out on signing Torrey Craig and Mason Plumlee, two of their top remaining targets in free agency, as both players signed with rival teams. The Warriors, who still need to sign at least two more players to their roster, have been limited by their financial constraints and inability to offer consistent playing time. While they have made some signings, including re-signing Draymond Green and acquiring Cory Joseph, the impact of these players is not expected to match that of Craig and Plumlee. The Warriors are still exploring other options, with Croatian big man Dario Saric being linked to the team.

Chicago Bulls Sign Torrey Craig to Two-Year Contract

The Chicago Bulls have continued to revamp their "shot profile" by agreeing to a two-year deal with forward Torrey Craig. Craig, known for his aggressive defense and outside shooting, joins Javon Carter as a new addition to the Bulls' roster. The team hopes that these acquisitions will improve their three-point shooting and defensive efficiency, addressing weaknesses from the previous season. The signings also allow coach Billy Donovan to maintain their defensive schemes and cover up their rim protection shortcomings.

Damian Lillard's Trade Saga: From Portland's Regret to Boston's Ideal Proposal

The Detroit Pistons have made low-key trades to bring back the expiring contracts of two veterans, disappointing fans who were hoping for a big offseason move. Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers are already regretting their decision to sign Jerami Grant to a $160 million contract, as Damian Lillard has requested a trade. Grant may now become a trade candidate, and the Pistons could potentially be interested. Additionally, the Pistons have expressed interest in free agent Torrey Craig, who had a successful season under new Pistons coach Monty Williams.
