Love this trade. Let's get this tank rolling and grab Michael Porter in next year's draft.

Markkanen might be on the board for us!

Yeah it's like your avatar, the Wolves are Pippen and the Bulls are Ewing. Only imagine if the Bulls won that series.

Thibs is not only a better coach than Fred, he's also a better GM than GarPax.


I don't like the trade but I would've said no way to giving the 16th pick too.

And with that My support for the Bulls is dead.....Those corrupt sons a ****** in the FO not being held accountable is unacceptable.... THey had a top 5 head coach and top 10 player and ran them out of town so they could gift jobs to their Golden Boys from Iowa/New Mexico....

McNothing was a bum
Mirotic was a bum
Hoiberg is a bum

You are Bums Gar/Pax/Dorf!!!!!!!!

And those dumbasses get to keep their jobs....This organization deserves to be hammered into absolute dog bleep until those corrupt pieces of crap are run out of basketball entirely.... What they have been allowed to do offends me as a longtime bulls fans and even just as a fan of sports in general...

So long Bulls

David Kaplin is the biggest homer on the planet. His tweets mean nothing.
KC: Do you still think you're a championship-caliber team?
Gar: I never said that and correct me if I'm wrong

Honestly, that's sound fantastic. I'm tired of the first round exit.


Check back in 3 years see if you're tired of not even making the playoffs.

Three high picks later with no positive development would upset me. I'm fine with it. This is how you get out of NBA hell.

Their problem is lack of brains not balls.

I'm not crazy about the return, but at least we're tanking.

Would be excited with Smith or Isaac.

This FO is the absolute worst. They get so infatuated with players and cant think objectively. We gave up a top 15 player in the NBA to move up a few spots and get back a bench player and a guy coming off a torn ACL.

If we get Dennis Smith Jr, ill be super excited.

I like Dennis Smith. However if we draft him then we just traded Jimmy, Taj and Doug essentially for 3 PGs when another guy is going to be starting at PG next season.

People who like this seem to just be glad we're doing something. That seems to confuse doing something and doing it well.

On the lighter note. If the Bulls land the top pick next year it will devalue the Celtics BKN pick.

Trust partially regained.

They accepted the truth finally.
