[Repeat 3-peat]

Spoiler:

They gonna run it back

[bwgood77]

Just get Lavine healthy and run it back adding a great pick with the draft pick in the top 11...maybe move up to top 4 in lottery. Primed to move up to top 3 in the east.

Run it again next season with Zach, Patrick and Lonzo back and if it doesn’t work, fire sale at the deadline.

[Frank Dux]

Enough is enough. Just blow it up already.

As a Bulls fan I hope they dint do this again. End the pain and just pull the plug. I dont even care that the Spurs have the Bulls pick next year. Just end this failed project.

Bulls have a bunch of good players they are 2and 3rd options. There is no break out #1 on the team and they're not going to draft that person. Its time to move on from this team. Let these guys go elsewhere and have a chance at a title.

[Chuck Everett]

Trade Lavine. Get multiple players for him, if possible. He is not a winning player, see if another franchise things he's worth something.

[One_and_Done]

Really pathetic performance, but what I've come to expect from Demar.

[jc23]

Run it again next season with Zach, Patrick and Lonzo back and if it doesn’t work, fire sale at the deadline.

we should let Demar walk or offer a sign and trade if there is a move for one. Trade Zach after letting him get his value back. Trade Caruso (hopefully to a contender). Let Pat play for his next contract. Get a bottom 6 record so that you keep your 2025 pick.

The good part about being embarrassed like this is that it hopefully leads to significant roster changes.

This team isn't good enough to run it back. They've been mediocre since the Lonzo injury and Lonzo isn't coming back to save this team.

[meekrab]

Everyone except Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu should be on the trade block. This team ain't winning **** for years.

These guys need to rebuild badly. Starting from their front office.

[basketballRob]

Lonzo Ball looks good in his practice videos.

Tough one. They theoretically could have a good lineup if they make a couple tweaks. But rebuilding is not a bad idea either. Lonzo coming back would be big.

[ChiTownHero1992]

ANyone saying keep the coach clearly did not watch today's game nor a Bulls game in the last 3+ years....Donovan looks lost out there every single time!

Beyond that the roster has been terribly constructed since about June of 2016...and will likely never be of "playoff" caliber if the current FO and Ownership hang around.

Lastly they honestly performed better than I thought they would all season, pre-season I said even while healthy no more than 37 wins and 10th in the east. They did just a notch better than that and dealing with their typical yearly injuries.

Blow it up.

[HoopsterJones]

They are a broken treadmill. Fire the FO and coach. Blow it up.
