There was a time we could’ve gotten multiple 1sts for Zach and a 1st for DeRozan. Should have been tank time for Wemby. Here we are years later and missing out on the Flagg sweepstakes to at best get swept by the Cavaliers. Asinine and idiotic.

Both set us back for years and still are.

Is the Vuc trade really that bad ? Jett Howard is a bust and Wendell Carter is still meh and Franz Wagner Is a good player but not a franchise player . The trade was not that bad


Carter has basically been equivalent to Vuc, so yeah. It's been that bad. If you realize that the team is awful when Vuc plays because Vuc has actually been awful, then the trade is a lot worse. If you just go double double machine, look at raw counting stats, ignore his defense, ignore how much he kills your offense by moving slow and creating poor sets, then sure, he looks a lot better.


Bingo!

What are the odds something like this is on next years list: Thinking this current streak means something and trading the next 2 firsts for some vet (RJ Barrett?) AK thinks will be the "missing piece" only for the Bulls to start next year 10-16.

Vooch trade or the P-Will extension. Vooch trade a smidge more forgivable i suppose but that coupled with us being a below .500 team and then extending him doubles the pain of that sin.

Really really can't underestimate this whole trade deadline/subsequent games after also and just how damaging its' been. Getting our own pick back as the main asset in the Lavine deal, not flipping Jones/KH and then winning all these meaningless games. We have sacrificed 25% of our lottery odds these last 20 games or so in a draft that projects to have 2-3 franchise guys. If we somehow beat the Heat in the 10/9 matchup we'll all but guarantee we pick 12 or 13th again.

I really didn't think I'd ever sports hate someone as much as i did Gar Forman. But hot damn, here we are.

The poll is telling me that I'm trying to vote for too many options :lol:

Can't I please pick 5?
:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

Return to Chicago Bulls
