June 29, 20232 yr I just still don’t get why you don’t stretch and waive lonzo if you are trying to compete with this crew

June 30, 20232 yr Someone said it earlier but this team desperately needs shooters and a PG. I am not sure how we make it happen but I feel like it has been a long time since we had a knock down 3 point shooter as a role guy

June 30, 20232 yr If Vuc expects to get more touches on offense this team is worse off than I thought.

June 30, 20232 yr Coby White is coming back on a 3 year deal at $10 mil a year, apparently. Bulls are showing interest in trading for Monte Morris, as I alluded to before.
June 30, 20232 yr 26 minutes ago, Tnetennba said: Overpriced mediocrity, thy name is the Chicago Bulls. I would have laughed at that contract a year ago, but Coby actually improved his whole game last year. At only 23, it would have sucked to let him go and see him flourish elsewhere (Lauri cough). The contract itself isn't bad. Considering Bruce Brown just got 2 and $45 million, this is actually cheap.
June 30, 20232 yr So it looks like they just used half the MLE on Jevon Carter. He's more or less PatBev's replacement. I also doubt Ayo is coming back unless he's on a dirt-cheap deal.
June 30, 20232 yr Author Mediocre is what they will be. Carter isn’t horrible as an isolated move though.

They hard-capped themselves since Jevon Carter's deal is part of the non tax-payer MLE. So they can only spend $9 million more on any non vet-min signings or they would go over the tax.

The contract itself is fine. Running it back with basically the same roster though is thoroughly uninspired. The org is stuck in neutral and this is another signing that doesn’t move the needle.
June 30, 20232 yr Poetl got the same deal as Vooch, but one more year. I think fit-wise, Poeltl might actually fit this current Bulls roster better than Vooch. Poeltl gives you better rim protection and rebounding at the expense of floor spacing.

Unless there's some miracle trade they can pull off, it's just gonna be another play-in tournament next year.

I think it does - which means we are getting nothing from him and this are showing how bad the front office is. My tune would change if we ultimately decided to retool and make a major trade.

They need to get the DPE approved, which I don't know if they have or not yet.

Going nowhere under this ownership.
July 1, 20232 yr I remember watch a game where Carter absolutely went on an insane heater and was wondering who tf he was. I like the signing a lot actually. Looking at the Bucks lineups here, Carter was a part of the Bucks best starting 5 in terms of +/-. Carter was also part of the Bucks second most used line up in terms of minutes played.....That's on the #1 team in the east. Lots of Bucks fans think he's a starting quality PG. Oh and he's a DAWG. From a defensive standpoint he's probably right up there with Lonzo.

The org is stuck in neutral and this is another signing that doesn’t move the needle. It's an upgrade over Pat Bev and they weren't God awful with him. Seriously. I think outside of adding a star, some bull fans aren't gonna be happy. Everyone screams about them needing more 3 point shooting and then scoff at them adding a guy who finished 10th in 3P%.
