I have not been able to get games the last few weeks for whatever reason. Looks like I am not missing much. Is Zach really 3-8 from the FT line? Something is off there.

The answer is crystal clear. You need to start making moves before a stupid injury, Lavine's and Vuce value going down the drain.

I am willing to watch THT play if it means he is our tank commander. Other than that the dude needs to go. I can't stand him. Hated his game in LA and it is the same thing here. If you want to win games that guy is not someone who should be getting minutes.

This version of Pat might be the worst rotation player we have had since Bryce Drew. Just terrible.

eh you never know. guys hit in the late lottery. It isn't only top 4 picks. The issue is more about knowing that you have to shift gears.

The bigger issue is that I am not sure this FO would try to rebuild even if they nailed the pick.

The Bulls in the last 10 days have played some of the worst basketball I have seen. The loss to Atlanta's C team, the loss to Portland, the loss to Golden St, were all absolute embarrassments.

We are just zoned out mentally and physically.

How Billy continues to play Williams is just stupefying (is that even a word)? THT is like Coby. He breaks the game.

Ball, Zach, Smith and Matas might actually be the start of a decent team. I would feel better seeing them in q4 with either Giddey or Ayo than seeing Williams, THT and Vuc.

Hey now, there were rumors that Presti was interested in him. I mean at that point you have to over pay the kid! :banghead:

Tough to compete when 40% of your starting 5 is Patrick Williams and Giddey.

I think the pace is taking its toll on them. The effort levels are pathetic.

Right now the Bulls would have the 9th pick (unless something changed after the lottery). Philly could pass them making it the 8th pick. The Blazers have 17 wins (Bulls with 19) so that's a possibility too. 7th pick isn't ideal, but not bad.

The problem is they needed to tank sooner. That is if they ever do it (I don't think they will). However, if they make trades maybe they'll get assets to work with...?

Its probably been worse than that. And I have been a die hard PWill supporter. He is around 32% from the field this month.

If you traded Zach and Vuc and ran everything through Pat you would upgrade to

If this is who the team is from here on out (losing and looking defeated) then we won't have to worry about if we had tanked sooner. There are only a few teams who are trying to be bad. Even Portland isn't tanking on purpose.

If the FO makes a move and leans into the tank we are gonna be there.
