Even Cooper Flagg won't save this garbage organization from being garbage. We need ownership changes across the city.


I don't think that's true in basketball.

in Rose's 3rd season we had the best record in the league. Same ownership. Ownership is definitely a negative factor for us, but if there is one sport that can easily overcome incompetence at all other levels it is basketball where a single superstar can make a massive difference.

If Cooper Flagg is the real deal, he'll save whatever franchise drafts him. Maybe not to the point of titles, maybe that would require good managers / owners, but at least to the extent of getting to good, making the playoffs regularly.

Ehhh. AKME makes Gar/Pax look like Jerry West
Fantasy Hoops/Football/Baseball fans..

For info on a forum that actually talks Fantasy sports and not spammed with soliciting leagues, PM me. The more the merrier !

Agreed. I think AKME is pretty awful. Better management is probably important either way. I think the ownership hurdle is easier to get around.

AKME sucks.

They got DeMar DeRozan correct at least.

Hell not even. They gave up a pick that was only top 10 protected (top 8 if not converted this year). We're still paying for the trade from 4 years ago and DeRozan isn't even on the team anymore.

We got to the playoffs though. Do you believe any of our current guys will be on the Bulls 3 years from now?
