“(Tuesday) in the dugout, it was alive the whole time. But then you’ve got to translate it. You play hard, then you’ve got to play well. If it was all about playing hard, then I’d have been a star.

So that’s been really hard. But I’m excited to get going again. I take a lot of pride in trying to prepare my body the best way I can.

“We’ve run him out there consistently, I would say, as much as anybody outside of the guys that we traded away,” Ross said. “I just continued to say his track record says he’s going to be good at some point. … Maybe if we were in a playoff race and it’s a little bit harder where we have to see it, and then I’m like, OK, there it is. And there were signs before he got hurt, like, OK, there’s Ian Happ.
With Fields now positioned to take over the huddle and, quite likely, begin a years-long journey as the Bears starting quarterback, everyone must be prepared for the upcoming turbulence, for the expected mistakes, for the shoulda-had wins that might in some weeks turn into irksome losses.
The Bulls pulled off four sign-and-trades in August, acquiring DeRozan, Ball, Jones Jr., a lottery-protected 2022 first-round pick (via the Portland Trail Blazers), a 2023 second-round pick (via the Denver Nuggets) and a $5 million trade exception all in exchange for Tomáš Satoranský, Garrett Temple, Thad Young, Lauri Markkanen, Daniel Theis, a 2025 first-round pick and a pair of second-rounders in 2022 and ‘25.
