Lot of tough decisions have to be made this offseason for Bulls Management, curious to see which route they take with the coaching staff and the roster.
Honestly, I don’t think the decisions are that tough. If we were above 500 and had a Dumb and Dumber Lloyd Christmas chance of making the 2nd round, it’d be tough. But as it stands, it seems like they can either make the stupid choice (pay to retain the aging, losing core) or finally begin their 2nd chance at a re-haul before the decade is over. This eastern conference play in doesn’t get any easier: Miami’s been pacing all year, Knicks lost OG and Brunson, Philly lost freaking Embiid, Hawks lost Trae, Indy’s cooled off hard for a free fall, Nets are a disaster, Toronto and Charlotte nuked for a tank… do they need any more life jackets? The Bulls cannot capitalize on any of this. Just how low have the standards gone? They’ve had 2 years to plan around not having an active Lonzo, they’ve demonstrated that Zach was not going to be a part of this team’s success… and otherwise this core as we knew it has been healthy and available.
Slow clap for Coby and Ayo playing fairly well… but besides them looking like NBA caliber players instead of fringe bench players, we don’t have a playoff team yesterday, today nor tomorrow. And I’m not daring to use the C word (contending).
