This iteration of the team is utter garbage but I’m still too scared to hope for a tank.

At least they hit on Matas.

I cannot wait until Vucevic and Carter are off this team. Some of the worsts signings in the history of the franchise.

Clearly.


And Donovan doesn’t have the balls to bench him and play bigs that could actually have a future here.

He is the only player on the roster that can play with no effort and not get punished for it.

This is why his vets ignored him

Jalen Smith is also quite a dud pickup. Close to a DNP in pre-season.

AKME suck at every single aspect of the job.

Yeah I'm not sure what the issue is with Smith, he was decent to good last season. :noway:

He "tries" by simply jacking up garbage time 3s when he should be trying to get the young guys involved. :nonono:

AKME clearly must hold hope they can extract some sort of value at the trade table with Vuc.

They need to waive him. He’s actively hurting the team and we have players on the roster he’ll hold back.

I'd say he was decent. He's another case of a guy AKME bought high. He had 1 season of 42% 3Ps on 2.4 attempts, after years of sub-33%. He wasn't worth the MLE, is the sad truth.

They also bought high on Jevon Carter, who was filling in on a short-bench on the championship Bucks, after cementing his self as a fringe 3rd string guard.

These guys suck at scouting the league.

He won’t be this bad but he was legitimately a net negative in his prime.

There is no longer any logic to playing him given he’s expiring. We’re better iff waiving him or sitting him on the bench.

I don't find the points that he's "lazy" and "not trying" to be valid at all. This team always needs a whipping boy for some reason. No reason to make it personal, the guy is an ironman which leads me to believe he's far from "lazy". He's just limited.

Whip the GM and coach and owner for building a **** roster for the last decade plus

Did you watch the game?

He was an observe in uniform. He did not once rotate in the first half. This is within his capabilities.

Besides Noah who did you want to shoot?

Carter is going to play like this and is no longer even pretends to be a PG.

Giddey and Buzelis don’t look like duds. Smith is a decent backup center.

This is the most pathetic preseason Vooch I have seen.. lazy, uninterested, pathetic! But Billy doesnt care and his long leesh with vets is nothing new..or rather to say, vets never listen-ed to him.

About Essengue - of course he can play center in this modern NBA, when he is strong enough.

Bulls fans are so jaded at this point they are like . . . meh.

Giddey has also played well in the preseason.

Return to Chicago Bulls
