If they don't sit Embiid, we should be fine. The 76ers have a significantly easier schedule the rest of the way.

We still wont gain any ground lol Sixers cant even beat the Raptors right now.


AK will have pulled off a rare trifecta of:
- one of the least talented teams in the league
- no pick in the top 3 in a generational draft
- no max contract cap space, even if we let Giddey walk

Ping pong balls are the only things that will save Chicago at this point.

Not a bad idea.

Is this the worst loss in Bulls history? Certainly in my memory.

I don't think so, but it might be a close second worst. Pretty sure they had 49 points against the Heat in a game from 1999.

The Sixers have a protected pick they might give up, the smart move is gonna be to shut people down and play for next year

Every tank has failed.

Derrick Rose was not a tank season. That was luck.

Tanks get us Wendell Carter, Coby, and Patrick Williams.

People play too much NBA 2k and act as a GM. Real rebuilds require a 5 year cycle and not guarantee of success.

They half-assed tanks in those seasons. I remember Nikola Mirotic and Sean Kilpatrick ruining their draft pick. They won so many games against teams that were full-blown tanking. The Bulls haven't been worst in the league bad since the Baby Bulls.

We also could have Drafted better Shai was there for the taking.

More recently, they lost by 56 to the Celts under Boylen.

Okay, so we are learning that Zach LaVine was playing at an MVP-level and carrying this team.

Huerter is such a tank commander.

Is this really a generational draft?

I really haven't delved into the draft yet, probably once the tourney starts.
Why so serious?

Zach was not the issue… the low IQ guys we have right now are. Zach is flawed dont get me wrong but at least he was a product fans will want to pay. We were exciting as well win or lose.

It's not.

Tis a very good draft though.

Stacey talking about Pat showing flashes/how he's worked on his offensive game is such a dishonest conversation. He is an absolute bust.

Stacey sugar coating everything is hard to listen to. Just say Pat has been a disappointment, you can't still be talking about "He's flashed, he just hasn't done it consistently" when he's 5 years into his career.

Saying Coby is our 2 guard is also tough to digest, and Adam yes manning him the whole time.

Pat getting his shot sent right back at his face by Simone freaking Fontecchio is too much for me to handle.

Our $38 million pair of wings in Huerter and Williams is very promising for the future.

Return to Chicago Bulls
