Coby White is underrated on this board

Billy heard how much y’all miss Thibs. Doing the fan base a solid with a stroll down memory lane. Only thing missing is Giddey suffering a career and franchise ruining injury.

this has been a common theme . Peeps are high on our pieces but it's like pessimism is ingrained in us bulls fans .

Bulls fans know what it takes to win. We have 6x banners. Every time you think we have enough when you go to game, just look up at retired numbers. And tell me you see guy on court playing good enough to end up there. And when your answer is no. You let me know back.

I know it's the end of the season, and we're not playing top teams-but I like the Matas/White/Giddey core
Let's hope we add a stud in the draft. We already have solid role players

We're not on the path for a title, but maybe for a 2nd round team. That's MUCH better than we were 3 months ago

Sadly there doesnt seem a stud where we gonna pick. We cannot chose much but leftovers and heavy projects. Which means whoever we pick is not contributor. Which gets me to idea of selling a pick and packaging it to get rid of Patrick Williams and his contract.

It's better idea to go into FA and add players. That is consequence of "winning fake games" at the end of season. You guys voted for it. Democratic way.

At this point we are looking at a rotational player with the pick or knowing AK he will use to to trade for a very flawed "star".

I’d be happy with that. Only one team is going to win a title. I just want to be respectable again and competitive with youth leading.

I haven’t been a true Bulls fan like BEFORE for like 2 yrs now.

I’m in a happy place again. I love my bulls man.

Again

Every time I tune in I see a 6'10" 20 year old with no weaknesses

Get Giannis with what assets?

Add Giannia to any team and they immediately are better.

You think he'll get to free agency before signing an extension (even if it means he asks to be traded)? And will the Bulls have max cap space for him?

Yes and yes.

And I don’t think he’ll ask to be traded.

I wouldn't pin my hopes on it, but we can agree to disagree.

Me neither, but imo you keep the scenario open as much as possible. Basically the only way they kill that option is by resigning everybody to long contracts the next 2 summers… which doesn’t make sense to me.

Missed this one, wife and I stayed up late celebrating last night I needed a nap mid day. Do my eyes deceive me Pat with 15 points?

Giannis wouldn't want to be on the Bulls if they had to give up 2 of the 3 core players to get him.

Look liked he was watching THT highlights. Bench needs scoring leader he can be that.

Just about every team loses focus when they get a 20 point lead at the half. Fortunately they were able to regain their composure and keep the offense going to stay 10 up which probably discouraged the Hornets who realized they didn't want to blow their draft position..Part of that is with their injuries the Hornets were playing some guys who were auditioning for their next contract and while throwing up shots can fill the stat sheet, it's bad basketball if you're trying to catch up and win a game.

On to CLE and maybe they decide to rest just enough guys to lose a close one.

Will the Bulls have capspace in 2027? Both Giddey and Coby will be on 30m+ contracts by then, not to mention whomever else they've signed/resigned by then.
