Butler's about to find out how **** small.city life is when you want to build a global name for yourself.
Bye bye Jimmy Leader. We'll miss your stirring leadership qualities.

Ummm, it's already been that.
This is like the 3rd busiest team forum on the site.
The idea that anything aside from winning the Finals or being a top 3 contender is equivalent, is just an immature fantasy.
Check NBA attendance to see that 'Title or Bust' isn't how most fans view the league.
I wasn't on realgm during the Baby Bulls years, but the ESPN Bulls board was one of the most active, and we were abysmal.
EMBRACE THE REBUILD, BABY!
Scottie Pippen's response to whom he would pick for his running mate, Michael or LeBron: "That's a dumbass question. I've never done anything with LeBron. I wouldn't take LeBron to the movies."

I don't quite understand what Boston would have to trade if they wouldn't move 3?

Best way to tank.
Nothing in terms of player sure but nothing in terms of direction. Not the tanking I want to see.

If you look at the trade for what it is, but an organizational direction and a return, the return was not so good but the direction is the right one for this org.

I don't think he's a starting quality player. Not because of the injury, but just because. Smarter to let him walk and tank harder I guess.

Bulls just got themselves a ton of shooting instead of a ton of iso.
Fred has what he needs now. Time to develop and execute.

JB is a better leader than the HC, hell, he probably was the best leader in the whole organization

Hey I thought the Bulls trading away Reggie Theus was the end of the world but we got MJ that next offseason, got to get some high picks if you want a chance rule the NBA. Bulls are gonna suck by design to collect some high value assets My only worry is that our management are not the ones to do it

Wow, I actually can't find a single player to root for the bulls now, and I even root for Eddy Curry back then....
Good time to be a Bull fan I guess....
this sucks....

I'm interested to see how Jimmy fits back in with the Thibs culture. He has a lot more miles now and Thibs is an idiot when it comes to resting players.

Watch Mitchel fall to 16, terrible to give up that pick.

Die hard communities will take a hit less than the casual fan base of course.
But Bulls now seriously have to worry about casual fan interest and attendance.
The dynasty era fans are aging out of the prime demo, there is no wellspring of love for the Bulls to fall back on if they start putting out terrible teams year after year.
Which case the FO might finally run out of rope. But just too bad we'll need to wait several years, instead of ownership realizing they are the problem right now.

You're not looking hard enough. The Bulls wanted the Dunn kid last year.
