Actually feel worse for die hard Bulls fans than Sox fans, as there is at least some hope down the line with new ownership. When the old man finally goes, Michael will still be leading the Bulls.

I don't recall JR saying anything close to it "being my fault."And to be clear I'm not saying Michael will be any better but I was struck by his honesty in the press conference.

I don't recall JR saying anything close to it "being my fault."And to be clear I'm not saying Michael will be any better but I was struck by his honesty in the press conference.I really didn’t see much different. Michael said it was time for a change, he really liked AKME personally, he put a head coach qualifier on the next hire, didn’t commit to the full embrace of analytics, talked about how they always have done things over the years, said Sam Presti was great but good lord we can’t tank (and, honestly, call it whatever you want but they have been tanking. Just at the worst time), talked about how this is such a wanted job.All the Reinsdorfs do is make half promises and talk half truths. Nothing about that press conference was reassuring to me
Thursday at 08:11 PM5 days The Reinsdorfs do not care about winning. I really wish at a press conference someone would call them out on it. The Bears may have finally done some things to win after shitcanning Ted Phillips but who knows.Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't give two shits about winning and for his kid to say that and the media not laugh in his face is something. The Bears used this playbook of hamstringing GMS, coaches and QBs with cycles of failure and musical chairs in which one ofthem always remained.
Friday at 01:38 AM4 days Tre Jones is low key really good at basketball. That's one of very few wins for AKME. Leonard Miller looks like a solid future piece too. A bench of Jones, Miller, Sticks, and Williams is already in place for next year. I keep squinting and seeing a potentially really good team next year if the basketball gods are with us.

He may not even be that if everything goes right. His salary is an albatross for sure, but he's still quality defensively.

It is what it is right now. .......Portland beat the Clippers yesterday which was a huge game. They're now tied in the standings with 1 game to go and Portland owns the tie breaker. Portland plays the Kings who are currently tied for the worst record in the West and will probably do their best to lose that game......Blazers have been pretty hot recently, so unless they decide to straight up tank 2 games in the play in, #15 should go to the bulls.

And Patrick Williams is trash. He does nothing on the court and I don’t think he is a plus defender at all - he was solid early in his career but his lateral movement is slower so he is a positionless player in the worse kind of way.
Yesterday at 02:43 AM1 day Goal 1 - Get 9th worse vs 10th worse. Bulls are 2 minutes away from achieving that.Goal 2 - Portland wins and gets in so we get their pick. Goal 3 - Jump up into top 4 in lottery Note: Goal 0 was cleaning out front office - goal 0.5 is making a good hire and investing in the front office!

What do we think about Boozer or Wilson pairing with Matas? I know we're counting chickens here, but its just talk.

If they win Tuesday, Bulls get #16 pick. If they lose then they play the winner of Clippers and Golden State and then if they win that game, the pick is #15. I much, much rather them win on Tuesday against the Suns.

Yesterday at 05:54 PM1 day Suns are 1-9 in their last 10 while Portland is 11-5 over their last 16. Obviously it's 1 game and anything can happen but Portland has definitely been the hotter team.

You'd think at the highest level with the chance to make ridiculous sums of money, you would get it a guy who wants to consistently dominate buttttt....I love Caleb Wilson, and I think he'd be a good fit for the team and Chicago could have some fun with the Caleb W and Caleb W stuff. I'd gladly take the 4th pick.I think my ideal situation would be getting Wilson at 4, the best scoring guard available at 15/16, and then Wilson's teammate Veesaar(?) at 36.
