And I am ok with that. After 4 years of heading the wrong direction they are finally doing what is needed and losing. Please let the lottery balls work in there favor. Better yet clean house and bring in a new front office. Going to be brutal for a few years but about damn time they decided to suck so they can hopefully get some stars. Get a top pick this year, get another topic pick next year, get the Portland pick this year (or next year) let them develop with Matas and Giddey (or flip giddey for more assets) plus massive cap space and all picks…things could look much better a year or two from now.

They better not win the next one. Portland is 2 wins away from being out of the lottery and the bulls finally getting that pick.

 

Bulls currently have a 20% chance at getting a top 4 pick.

Some incredible talent in that class.

Flemings will go Top 3-5.

Not sure if the athletic if Boozer has the athleticism at next level but definitely the motivation/heart/competitiveness.

Dybantsa and Wilson are getting a lot of attention, rightfully so...and everyone's afraid of taking OR NOT taking Peterson.

I only wish they had done this previously when they could have gotten some return for their players instead of expiring contracts and 2nd round picks.

Darius Acuff is awesome as well. 

Will be hilarious if the bulls tank their way to the top only to have the commish take the pick because they tanked for it.  It would be very “White Sox lost 100 and we’re only allowed to draft as high as 10” of the league lol

I really like Fleming. This class looks quite good. 

Bam Adebayo 83 points. Broke Kobe's 81.

Ridiculous 

 

 

36 points from the free throw line alone!

That was weak by Washington. Why were they fouling so much down by like 20 plus points. 

I just read Zach Harper's column in the Athletic about a great way to run the NBA draft. The worst team from the year before picks the team whose draft spot they want for next season and they can't pick themselves. It seems like it would eliminate tanking as a draft tool. Unless two teams conspired to pick each other and both tank.  

The Wizards select in the first round the Nets as the team they want. 

Didn't even that right after Billy's dad died, his MIL died and his mom had to get her leg amputated.

I've felt like he's always coached either more than the sum of the parts that he's got or about what can be expected. Only thing that made little sense was Pat getting start minutes right away. It would make sense for him to return to college ball, where he never has to tank and established a HoF career.

Bonus: If he leaves, it makes it easier for the org to clean house and purge AKME.

It just keeps getting better for the Bulls.

Any other front office in the league would have been fired into the sun by now for all of these atrocious decisions compounding one after another

Dude went through two of the best educational institutions in the country for HS, and still never learned. He may have just punched his ticket out of the NBA. The injury stuff was already starting to push him out. This won't help.

Vrabel’s full comment read:

“I think there is a fine line. I want to tell you, I love TreVeyon. I love the person. He cares deeply about our team. He cares deeply about his faith. He cares deeply about his family, his wife, the people in our building. And so I want them to be able to express what they believe in their heart and in their mind, but also want to make sure that they’re educated. And we want to be inclusive. Everything we want to do [is] to provide an environment for people to want to feel comfortable, but also to share their personal beliefs. And then also, we represent the team. And we represent the organization.”

This will be cheered by roughly 15-20% of SoxTalk.

Put Vrabel in a very tough position with his future star RB.

Locker rooms in NBA and NFL probably in 80/85% agreement with this opinion piece fwiw.

(Just read political/religious beliefs one of the primary drivers behind Tennessee's Kim Caldwell losing almost her entire team to the transfer portal.)

Good lord was that garbage. They just equated everything in the NBA and sports, to the Bulls actions, and called it hypocrisy. Lazy ass work.

On a positive note, Portland is currently out of the lottery with 4 games to go. It won't happen but 2 top 15 picks in a good draft and a good chunk of cap space could make the GM job look pretty good to someone new.

Let’s win the lottery and get that pick and clean house - it still will be a long journey but I’d finally start feeling a bit better about the Bulls.

Will it be a long journey if that happens? If everything goes right it SHOULD be a quick turnaround.

Imagine winning the lottery and drafting Dybansta, imagine getting 15 and drafting a guy like Stienbach, Quaintance, Mara, or Cenac to play center.... and then signing Peyton Watson, Benedict Mathurin, orrrrr Coby.

If Dybansta is who everyone hopes, how good can something like Giddey-Watson-Dybansta-Matas-Mara be?
