Bulls Trade Rumors Only

[TheSuzerain]

Was this guy actually making decisions in Denver? It seems like he was in some sort of backseat position and leveraged that his Bulls tenure. The guy is not flexible.

Nah it's a ruse. He's terrible at this.

Bring in an egg-head asset manager to make decisions. Then have some culture guys in supporting roles.

Wow just came here to read, doubling, tripling down on being stupid is really really stupid.

You guys are underestimating AK like he is some 13 year old 2K GM.. I agree with his stand. There was not anyone who could make us better so why rush? We wait for this offseason and we roll the dice hope we luck it out just like the other 29 teams are doing.. Come on, guys! AK is not that dumb.. just relax, enjoy the rest of the season.. experience the fan seat and let it go with the flow.

AK log off real gm and make a trade please

Every time anyone asked him what he means by staying/being competitive, he keeps answering with, "let's see what happens in the next 30 games."

It's the same roster bro. We can predict what's gonna happen in the next 30 games.

In previous interviews AK seemed almost arrogant. Like he knew better and we were ignorant judging him. "Just wait till the FAs in the off season!"


In today's, he sounded like a defeated man trying to sell snake oil. He knows what the sentiment around the team is but all he can say is "but but but we are competitive!!!"

No, we cant!

Haha, I love it. Half sarcastic at this point cause I kinda wanna see the endpoint of this 3 year long and counting "continuity" plan. Wasn't too interested in those fan scenarios where Coby/Ayo/Pat just become tank commanders for the next 3 seasons of 20-30 win basketball.

The team should be selling not buying. You need assets to get better through trades, the Bulls don't have any.

You have to think at this point AK, doesn't care about bringing the Bulls back to being an actual contender. He has spun the same BS over and over and over again, we've seen signs, we like the group, despite the fact that we are a mediocre team season after season after season. This man has absolutely no clue what he is doing, clearly has no pressure on him to do a better job, and he is basically stealing money from the Reinsdorfs to do the bare minimum. Must be great to be him.

[Kurt Heimlich]

Lol that was rough to watch. AK is out of his league clearly and that presser was just depressing.

He is right though. We are almost winning in most games now than the last 2-3 years. The adjustment level right now is down to really minor details.. and injuries to our core guys.

[jnrjr79]

I'm going to need a trigger warning if AK uses the word "competitive" one more freaking time.

Yes, yes we can.

I agree that this is what they should do. But if you're AK and you think this roster is actually pretty good, then it's also malpractice to have done nothing to improve it. The whole standing pat thing when you're 'the 9 seed and reliant on a lot of short-term players is lunacy.

[TheSuzerain]

Even the Reinsdorf should realize that AK should get axed. This isn't subtle malfeasance.

If/when we lose in the play-in again, honestly could see him jettisoned.

[_txchilibowl_]

Julian Phillips and Dalen Terry can replace the production of the late firsts we didn't get for trading Caruso.

Dalen Terry is just a bust .The Bulls could have used a package with DeMar and Pat for trading.
Now we got nothing.

That's kind of my point. These are the type of players you would normally acquire with late first round picks. Which is why Caruso is so much more valuable than those kinds of draft picks.

He is. But he's on a fuse.

I'm not wholly opposed to keeping Caruso. But not aggressively shopping the other vets (Drummond, Derozan, Vuc (LOL)) is pretty bad.

15-15. That’s the next 30 games AKME.

[ImSlower]

Has anyone ever read a single positive national article supporting AK's decisions? We are a complete mockery to the entire sport. Except Arturas **** Karnisovas.
