Play-In Bulls vs Heat 6:30pm CT Apr. 16 2025

IMO Jalen Smith and Patrick should be in for Vuc and Huerter

Vuc should never wear a Bulls jersey again.

Neither should Billy

[ScrantonBulls]

Bulls can't even make Herro miss a single shot. Imagine what a real superstar would do against this defense. We're so far from competing.

[WindyCityBorn]

Which teams will pay Giddey $30 mil? Just curious.

Nets. Possibly Utah.

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.

Well it only takes one and they can obviously use him.

[LikeMike23]

Keep Giddey and Buz and everyone else must be expendable including Coby

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.

Teams trade for players on expiring contracts all the time.

Not for players they can't extend. Coby has outperformed his maximum contract of $18 million a year. Coby will be a free agent regardless, so no team is likely to offer much for him.

The Reinsdorfs are probably working on an extension as we speak.

[Indomitable]

Announcers going in on lack of leadership. Probably not a huge surprise for a team driven by youth and guys brought in a less than 82 games ago. And I guess when your vets on the floor are Pat Williams and Vucevic....

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.

Collins and Huerter do not have that cashee. That actually Vuc, Coby, Giddey, or Lonzo.

[League Circles]

I mean, we have one good defender on the court much of the time.

[DASMACKDOWN]

I was kinda expecting a letdown but I thought it would be the previous Miami meeting.

Blow out or not, I am still proud of the guys. Win or lose, the same changes need to be made regardless. So for me I just accept whatever it is.

[WindyCityBorn]

They deserved the boos.

[MrSparkle]

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

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

Absolutely insane.

Teams with cap issues who want him will. The new apron has made that a thing.

Collins and Huerter been on the team for 26 games I can give them a pass for not being floor generals yet. Williams and Voc been here 5 years im less forgiving to those guys when it comes to a noticeable lack of leadership that gets called out on national television

[Dan Z]

We can’t hardball Giddey based on this game. Good luck trying.

Maybe it'll convince AK to let the market decide?

Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part?

He’s getting paid a lot whether we decide or another team. Semantics on who decides.

I agree with you but there's a difference between giving him whatever he asks for and actually negotiating with him.

It might not be a huge difference in the final cost, but might enough to help for future moves.

You think the FO will make changes?

Yep. I had more fun the second half of the season than I have in years

Vuc has no cashee other than setting the tone of being lazy.

Williams is unplayable

[GoBlue72391]

Pat cannot play in the 2nd half. Is Jalen Smith injured?

Coby and Vuc on defense is just something else.

[Bulliever2020]

See ya next year for another meaningless playin game!

But at least the Reinsdorfs got that sweet, sweet extra home playin revenue
