Now that was a big loss. 

 

Come on Phoenix we need you to keep being terrible!

 

edit: Phoenix currently winning by 16. Sigh.

Yesterday was the first time the Sox, Cubs, Bulls and Blackhawks all lost on the same day since Saturday.

I can’t wait until I can watch the bulls play NBA basketball again. Not even I can watch the lineup that went against the knicks.

Just got done with it.  Great read.

Magic *POOF* He Gone.

Dude, really enjoying the Lakers falling into knicks zone.

Jerry West is a freaking wizard.

How long until Lebron is connected to this?

Lakers front office is a real train-wreck. Total dumpster fire.  This has nothing to do with Bron.  Unless it is because we are blaming Bron for the Lakers not being world champions this year. Magic never wanted to put in the work necessary to be a president, but always wanted the glory to go with it.  This just wasn't what he signed up for and now that things are getting hard I think he just realizes that it isn't for him.  

They also have the worst GM in the game as well. Literally no front office in the game wants to work with Pelinka...Magic had to do all the negotiations given how much the rest of the league despises their current GM.  

They do have LBJ though so that still puts them in a favorable position.  

Next on the news....Lakers give Jerry West blank check to lead the reorganization of their front office. Of course they'll have to outbit Ballmer, but the brightest executive in professional sports (Jerry West) is a free agent. Basketball savant.  Too old to run day to day of being a president but still the exact mind any owner would want on payroll. 

Separately...I tip my cap to two legends, Dirk and Wade, on outstanding careers (even if Wade's run with Bulls was sub-par). 

Magic's obsession with getting Lonzo Ball and LeBron James cost the Lakers the following:

D'Angelo Russell
Jordan Clarkson
Larry Nance Jr.
Brook Lopez 
Julius Randle
Ivan Zubac

Instead of Lonzo Ball they could have taken Jayson Tatum.

Ingram, Hart, and Kuzma were all alienated after the AD saga.

Then you have the Big Baller Brand drama on top of everything else.

Separately, I’m actually a bit offended at how bad the roster the bulls have been playing with the last few weeks.

I actually don't think they could have taken Tatum. If Boston thought that LAL would take Tatum, they would have just stayed at #1 and taken him instead of trading the pick to Philly. They made the trade because they knew they could get Tatum at #3 

The Lopez/Randle/Zubac stuff was the worst moves. Russell is still kind of a weird player and you really have to credit Brooklyn, but I wouldn't be surprised if Brooklyn doesn't match if Russell gets an offer.

They also had to trade Russell to get off the mozgov contract

Oh right. Forgot Boston knew he'd be at 3 and traded back.

Wow... he would be perfect here.

Bulls should be falling over themselves to hire Dave Joerger (but won't because they have a guy who had a losing record at utah state).
