Coby is not expendable. He'll be on an expiring contract next year, so no team will trade for him, as they could lose him for nothing in free agency.

Admirable job with the kids but he’s not a legit coach. He’s never beaten or outclassed any solid coach when it actually mattered.

Vuc is done as a starter in this league. BD and AK apparently the last to realize it.

Embarrasing first half for playoff battle.. on almost all levels! We have no D and we have no real offensive scheme, just running and mostly chucking..

Giddey and White getting exposed on D and kinda bad on offense as well, especially Coby..

Why the f... Smith aint playing a bit with D like this??

Pretty disappointing the Bulls once again ruined their draft position only to get wiped across the floor in the play in.

Brooklyn Nets.


Maybe. But you still lowball until he signs an offer. Rather, a competent GM would do this.

Utah won't have $30 million. Collins is picking up his option. The Nets are the only team that could offer Giddey a big contract without a sign-and-trade.

Teams trade for players on expiring contracts all the time.

Why isn’t common for a non-max rookies to be forced to get offers then? Are most GMs just incompetent?

Miami is shooting 27 of 28 on 2P shots, over 96%.

If only there was a position that deters layups & dunks.

The Bulls have enough vets (Huerter, Collins, etc) so that shouldn't be a problem. But maybe its a lack of playoff experience?

I'm surprised the game hasn't been competitive.

That was embarrassing and where we miss Lonzo.

I expected a tough game. Not getting whooped by 20+ at the half. What a dose of reality, eh?

I’d strongly consider selling high on Coby.
