yeah, I guess my thing is that sometimes bad seasons happen even to good teams. The problem is hahn doesn't get benefit of the doubt that he can right the ship.

To me Drummond is a guy you get on vet min. As seen by: last 2 years. That doesn’t mean he’s unproductive, just that you don’t want him being immovable. Using MLE should get you a legit add to the team, not incentives to get vet min guys you couldn’t recruit. Did not expect this team to be maxed out after last year, but they really are tapped

Woof

Meet the new boss….same as the old boss

Luis Mieses on some heater right now. Also a Ramos homer

Not an ideal start

I would be surprised if he didn't, his doing interviews is news in general and it plays as a clip every time he does his media availability. This definitely more newsworthy in that it brought back older stories and the TLR thing i guess.

Hahn didn't realize when he did an interview with a Score producer that the score would talk about it? Hahn is trying his hahnwashing tour, where he gets to try and separate himself and act like his hands were tied from doing what the fans want.

K this is worse than what bulls did

If I'm the Nets I'd want Derozan but you are correct that with Vuc you have an expiring.

Yes correct that’d be a need

The answer to this is if Kevin Durant wants to go to Chicago it will happen, because the brooklyn nets will want a super star in the future and they will not want to be the first team that prevents him. But yeah. Salary wise it works. The Bulls then are severely limited in draft picks, and essentially would be able to trade the portland pick (not very valuable) and then would need to send off picks in 2027, 2029, etc.

PAT WILLIAMS + DEMARR + UN PROTECTED FIRSTS THRUOGH 3031 sigh

logistically, these seems insane. I wonder if divisions grow so large and we just see every big market state school become Big 10 or SEC, but there are 3-4 divisions each, and those conference championships may as well be the playoffs.

So not sure we truly know what bulls will do. I do like Tucker

That said I remember going in thinking we'd be in on ball, but I don't really remember thinking bulls would go after derozan or even caruso until it happened. They had more options last year though, but they are mostly trades. And it still seems like bulls gossip comes from everywhere else aside from the bulls.

Hartenstein is the obvious best option. Sad to see Bulls avoiding tax...they committed to tax with lavine imo. Gallinari is fine as a second unit player, would be a good pickup.

Colson added a double and a big night for Luis Mieses who had 3 hits and a homer in W-S. Not a great Mena start however,

Colson Montgomery. Homer.

Bulls need shooting, as every team does, but have so little resources to do it.

Still can’t stop saying Thucker Thoman in my head

Thanks for keeping the Helms story quiet Shane! As a reward here’s an interview covering all the same shit we’ve heard a thousand times.

well, whatever it is, I'm sure shane riorden will get to the bottom of it, let everyone know that he knows the issue and that it's bad, but not actually let anyone know what it was.

who knows. Could also just be about a personal thing.

It's tough, it undercuts how good thome was in 2006. Thome was on base 42% of the time and had a 1.000 OPS. It was incredible. Fangraphs put him at 5 WAR. Frank was great in 2006 with power, but not so good. But it basically comes down to health for Rowand, he only played 109 games that year and was nowhere near his defensive prowess in chicago. Anderson was giving us better defense than Rowand had that year, and him and Mackowiak were still positive contributors. So Thome + that crew are very likely >> Thomas + Rowand. The real key would have been if we could have somehow traded for Thome without Rowand.
