Plenty of guys in the NBA have great months on shit basketball teams. The Bulls are 17-45, and someone wants to claim they have 4 average to above average NBA players. Markkanen isn't bad and looks like an NBA starter for years to come. An impact star on a title competing team? I'll by that when he can get a team to 25 wins in a season. One player in basketball can do a lot with a very little. New York and Phoenix are the only two teams in the entire NBA that are worse off. Cleveland is neck and neck.

YonderLaroche Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 More nonsense, they thought San Diego was bluffing and they stood their ground, cheap ground. The threw 45 million away on 6 1.0 war average players and dumped 6 0.9 war players who would have cost 15 million. Just sell the team and clean house , too bad the team is worth little right now and still cash cow for Jerry . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the young guys continue to struggle, the front office will finally fire a member of the coaching and lay blame all on them. If the young guys struggle in 2020, Renteria probably becomes the scapegoat. We basically have to be dogshit bad two or three years from now for there to be any chance of a change up top. These clowns might as well be Supreme Court justices because they have jobs for life as long as they can put together a regular 2nd or 3rd place team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Garpax has a really solid draft resume. Much better than Rick and Kenny. They hit much more than other GMs. He also shafted the wolves in the Jimmy Butler trade. Once again, name me the last player the Bulls hit in after Jimmy Butler. Killed by injuries. Puhleeze man. They are absolutely awful. They've had injuries to bad players who were bad when they came back. They're 7-18 since the turn of the New Year - they started out with a lot of injuries but have gotten healthier and are still awful. Here is every pick since Butler: (Obviously, sub Markannen in because of the trade) Year Round Pick Name Nationality College/HS/club 2018 1 7 Wendell Carter United States Duke University 2018 1 22 Chandler Hutchison United States Boise State University 2017 1 16 Justin Patton United States Creighton University 2017 2 38 Jordan Bell United States University of Oregon 2016 1 14 Denzel Valentine United States Michigan State University 2016 2 48 Paul Zipser Germany Bayern Munich (Germany) 2015 1 22 Bobby Portis United States University of Arkansas 2014 1 16 Jusuf Nurkić Bosnia and Herzegovina Cedevita Zagreb (Croatia) 2014 1 19 Gary Harris United States Michigan State University 2014 2 49 Cameron Bairstow Australia University of New Mexico 2013 1 20 Tony Snell United States University of New Mexico 2013 2 49 Erik Murphy United States Finland University of Florida 2012 1 29 Marquis Teague United States University of Kentucky 2011 1 28 Norris Cole United States Cleveland State University Nurkic was traded - he's a nice NBA player. Besides that, come on... They had a nice run before with Butler, Rose and Taj - it bought them some extra years. They haven't hit on a player since - you like Markannen, I'm not sold on any talent on a 15 win team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These clowns might as well be Supreme Court justices because they have jobs for life as long as they can put together a regular 2nd or 3rd place team. The odds here are about the same in terms of getting rid of JR/KW/Hahn. The only Supreme Court justice to be impeached by the House of Representatives was Samuel Chase in 1804. He was accused of allowing his political bias to influence his decision on the high court. The final straw came in 1803, when he chastised a U.S. circuit court in Maryland. He gave a grand jury charge after the court granted universal male suffrage. Chase also condemned the court for repealing the Judiciary Act of 1801. The House voted to impeach Chase in March of 1804. During his trial before the Senate in 1805, Chase argued that he could only be removed from the bench for an indictable offense, not for judgement errors or behavior. The Senate agreed and he was exonerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can just fold the White Sox/Tigers/Royals all together into one franchise that splits the season into 27 home games in each of those three cities. Remember in 2000-01 when MLB was seriously considering pushing the Twins to fold up...well, we're not that far away if this rebuilding effort falls flat.

I don’t mean this in a positive way. I’m just saying these are the caliber of stars we can look forward to...guys on the wrong side 30 and/or with huge red flags. Also, I find it fascinating we need all this money to lock up this great young core that doesn’t even exist, but even if god allows Moncada or Jimenez to develop into a legit star our chances of retaining them are slim to none based on what we were willing to pay for Machado.

Anyway, GarPax are more compentent than tweedledee and tweedledumb in the Sox front office. We should make a Dumb and Dumber with Hahn and Kenny. I'm embarrassed to have bought WSD's Hahn shirt. I'm going to wear it with a circle with a line through it around his face and the words FIRE above his name. Before this offseason, I thought that Kenny was overruling Hahn and telling him how to do his job. Now, I think he's just as much of a clown as Kenny is.
