Bulls Go for 44 Wins 

Post#1 » by pipfan » Fri May 24, 2024 7:54 pm

My Bulls won't blow it up-and I get it. The team is VERY profitable and the ownership is happy. Plus, they are not a bad team and a few lucky breaks could lead to a playoff run (Miami last year, Indy this year).

Bulls send #11/LBall/JCarter to Wash for #26 and Kuzma

Wash gets a 2nd lotto pick and keeps the full rebuild going. The '25 draft will be huge for them, might as well tank the upcoming season totally to maximize odds, and develop Bilal, Krispert, #2, #11, JDavis (seems to be a bust). I would trade Deni too, but I know Wash fans love him. I bet SA would send the #8 and cap space for him.

1-Resign DDR, 2 years for whatever it takes. The guy can still score efficiently and is a great leader. If he walks, we get nothing.
2-Resign Drummond and start him. Vuc is better as a bum slayer off the bench.
3-Match on Pwill-the kid has talent

Bulls roll with this lineup
Ayo/CWhite/Caruso
Lavine/CWhite/Caruso
DDR/Caruso/Terry
Kuzma/PWill/Phillips
Drummond/Vuc

Lots of offense there, and a few good defenders. Try to get a #6 seed and see what happens

Unless the Bulls really hate who's left at No. 11, they shouldn't.

yeah that's not good at all for Chicago, and yet totally reasonable. Can Chicago maybe squeeze Kispert out of this?

bulls should just do 11/vuc for 19/poeltl if they want to win

I'm a bit sad that you all agree the Bulls could definitely do this deal! A sustained run of mediocrity might be coming for Chicago
