Gotta be trolling. We brought in a stud on Derozan that knows how to win.

Been a member here long enough to know Dice is not a troll.

But here I was hoping next year wouldnt be another season of "I was right you were wrong" posting after every negative or positive thing a bulls signing does.

One seriously should stop hoping for Utopia though.. it doesn't exist.

I won't say contender. DeRozan not being our #1 guy is good but he is also not the best version of him. Hopefully he will provide the veteran leadership we need. At least we can't complain about things staying the same

If you think about it the Nets are the only clear favorites in the East. The next 3-4 teams imo are even and bulls are now part of that list.

is this a joke? the nets!? lol! The EC pecking order is presently & going forward is Milwaukee & then Atlanta. Then you have Philly & New Jersey. After that, it's an utter crapshoot

We are going to be a good team with flexibility. Definitely not a treadmill team. Most exciting times for Bulls fans in a decade.

Next year should be good for Chicago Sports. Hopefully both the Bears and Bulls are good for a few years.

Brilliant, brilliant signing. He is going to be absolutely stellar now that he can settle into a 3rd option role, a luxury that he's never really experienced, and he is going to impart so much wisdom upon The Paw

Slow your roll.

Let's make the playoffs and then go from there.

I didn't say we would beat them. I said we were good enough. We have a punchers chance. This is fun.

Exactly,for me the fun is all about being in playoff conversation again

You are correct, Gibson came off the bench with Boozer starting

It’s about time this big market team spends. Also that draft pick we gave up is not until 2025 and it should be protected. The thing is we had to give up the draft picks to entice the Spurs. Truthfully they don’t have to entertain us and can just let DeRozan walk.

To be fair, most of the posters you're referring to are not happy with anything the Bulls do, ever. Perpetually unhappy with anything they do.

I believe they'll contend with the likes of Sixers ,Heat and Hawks but will probably lose fighting hard for the Nets( if healthy) and Bucks.

do you not remember KD almost single-handedly getting by the bucks?

the bulls are currently 7th in the east according to vegas, folks. with a dearth of assets going forward and lavine about to get PAID. time for a reality check: this is what nba hell looks like. settle in. it's a dry heat

No one in the East is better then a healthy Nets. But Bulls on paper can matchup with the Bucks.

Agree - but they are one injury away or one player away. The Hawks almost got lucky with Giannis injury and would have been in the finals with a shot to beat PHX.

We went from "if we develop our young players, we could be back in the playoffs" to "if we develop our young players, we could be contenders."

We can be contenders and keep developing our youngs.
