Portland Trail Blazers star speaks out on Chicago Bulls passing on him
The Chicago Bulls actually got good news on Wednesday night for the first time in a while. Entering an offseason in which they will need to find a new executive and general manager, the Bulls have to find a way to get this roster right.
Thanks to the Portland Trail Blazers, they have a better chance.
With Tuesday’s Trail Blazers’ win over the Phoenix Suns, they officially make the playoffs as the No. 7 seed. That means Chicago will now get their draft pick at No. 15 overall. A big reason why was a career night from guard Deni Avdija who scored 41 points including the game-winning basket which went for an and-one, to seal the deal at the end.
Avdija was on fire for the game, introducing himself on a big stage. While he helped the Bulls on Tuesday, he recently hinted that he thought he would actually end up with the Chicago Bulls.
Deni Avdija on Chicago Bulls passing on him
Before Tuesdsay’s game, Avdija appeared on a podcast to talk about his draft process. The 2020 NBA Draft was an odd one due to the COVID-19 pandemic, throwing a wrinkle into team’s evaluations. But many back then had the Bulls taking Avdija as they needed a guard, and he even admitted that as well.
Here is what Avdija said on the latest episode of the “Old Man and The Three” Podcast on Tuesday:
“The whole world thought Chicago will take me at 4 (draft pick). Like, it made the most sense, and when Chicago drafted Patrick Williams it was a surprise. Because.. I don’t know, nobody really thought about him going four… nobody really knew his name.”

That hurts to hear.
The Wizards ended up drafting him and then trading him away in 2024. But seeing what he’s become in Portland, it’s a tough one for Bulls fans to see as they could have had a legit player here. Instead, they are re-shaping the roster again.
