The key to beating Denver is to play big because you completely negate Gordon who can't overpower or out skill bigger/stronger players. Utah/Minny do it really well. Going small against Denver is a death sentence nearly.

Wonder what team Klay is on at the end of the year.

I 100% support the booing, just wish the wife wasn't there, she ended up crying. Jerry Reinsdorf (owner) hired some really terrible people to be in the front office.

DOM what do you think of Banchero?

I know that you are a big lover, but I hardly hear any adulation of Banch' from you

My prototype big has to be a good defender. Banchero can score and pass but not the defender I crave. I was a fan of Jabari and Chet over him because of that.

He isnt shy about putting up buckets. Surround him with the right guys and you could have a good team.

After listening to Zach Harper on his podcast talk about this... and how could fans boo a guy who delivered them 6 championships... HE DIDN'T!!! He didn't acquire Jordan, he did **** without Jordan yet was smug and took credit for things he didn't do during those championships. The 4 seasons following the last championship Krause led this franchise to winning 66 games in 4 seasons. The first year you have a **** pick from a championship, no issues there, but he got the #1 pick, drafted Elton Brand, got a 20-10 season from him and instantly traded him for the #2 pick to take Tyson Chandler to team up with #4 pick Eddie Curry. He kept drafting bigs with potential instead of players... for around 2 decades he hit on Pippen, Kukoc(which they had to wait 3 seasons for him) and H.Grant although he was just a solid pick, not drafting on potential. He missed on so many picks... #5 Stacy King, #9 Brad Sellers, #2 & #4 on Chandler and Curry, later in the draft #20 on Jeff Sanders (Georgia Southern University) and anything past 20 is a crap shoot so not too worried about those end of the draft picks.

The types of people in the FO is just a reflection of the owner which after realizing this I quit being a Bulls fan. Krause was more hated then Gar Forman who the fanbase crowdfunded to put up billboards in Chicago demanding the FO being fired. If you look at Chicago's hirings for the first 30 years of Reinsdorf owning the franchise, only Scott Skiles was the only Head Coach hired that had any head coaching experience (first time head coaches are very cheap). One of the craziest hirings was Vinnie Del Negro who had been a player but never a coach at any level, he was a commentator in Phoenix

Here's an article from 1988 in time magazine that mentions Reinsdorf being a cheapskate and Krause being a blowhard(a person who blusters and boasts in an unpleasant way).

Because, if you haven't heard, this series may be Jordan's last. The complex derivative of keeping Jordan in the NBA probably involves the rehiring of coach Phil Jackson, who publicly feuds with both blowhard Bulls general manager Jerry Krause and cheapskate owner Jerry Reinsdorf.

People who didn't follow the Bulls back in the 90s have no idea why the older fans are booing, the younger ones probably were influenced by The Last Dance, the older ones are still just pissed about these people for decades afterwards.

I 100% support the booing, just wish the wife wasn't there, she ended up crying. Jerry Reinsdorf (owner) hired some really terrible people to be in the front office.

That team would flip on it's head. Lethal. P&r would be a nightmare to guard.

Yes, that pick and roll combo, how much Young likes to throw alley oops and of course defensively Wemby could negate some of the defensive issues Trae has, maybe to the point they just tell Trae to look to try to steal the ball instead of good off ball defense.

Siakam is just not that interesting.

Siakam is just not that interesting.

Could be a 3rd option in a championship team but we already have that role for Bam here

Naturally, the Raptors are pedestrian shooters again now that they're not playing us.
