That lineup guarantees a bottom 5 record which would be preferable.

The real problem was that we still weren't bad enough to acquire Luka. 3 more Ws than Dallas in 2018. Those 3 wins sure were worth it.

The Bulls have never been good at tanking.

Nikola Mirotic's hot month (or was it two?), Sean Kilpatrick, etc. Is Patrick Beverley worth a mention? Sigh.

Well, Malaga you’re right.

I would say this team is in a marginally better place- both bound by luck of the next draft. If they allow Philly to overtake them, drop to Toronto’s pace, there can be a bigger window to improve.

It’s essential that they lose the season out.

Hey now, Jerry was threatened with a fine for sitting Robin Lopez!

Shame we aren't OKC, like a year or two later they were allowed to sit Al Horford for 6 months and no one in the league office gave a sh#@

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Believe it or not fans actually prefer this level of a team in order to “tank the right way”.

Wow, I'm surprised a Blazer 'fan' doesn't know who Travis Outlaw is but you seem to know Cristiano Felicio and Paul Zipser.
