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.

Why?

Matas is the only thing that really gave me hope.


Because its just one game. Coby and Giddey have been fantastic for the last 30 games. That means more.


Does it when most were against tanking teams?

Do or die. The next 24 minutes should honestly determine whether we blow it up or commit to a core.

But Giddey doesnt deserve more than 25M per year.. his defense is among worst of all guards in league.
Giddey and White probably worst defensive starting duo in league.

Bulls will have a strong run in the 2nd half and lose by 7. The front office will say "it was unfortunate. Just s bad half at the wrong time" and use it as an excuse to sell Coby, Giddey and Matas as a big 3 core for the future.

I’d be more focused on Billy as this teams coach than that other stuff.

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.

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

Name one example of this, as I haven't seen it. The Clippers traded for James Harden last year, knowing he would be a free agent at the end of the season. However, Harden essentially demanded a trade to them. Coby isn't going to demand a trade, and no team is going to take a chance on losing him for nothing.

There's no chance AK does that, sadly.

Why is Coby running the offense?
