I get we have been hurt in the past by GarPax but for Fs sake let AK cook!

This is why we can't have nice things

The way I see it, we are not competing right now anyway. No combination of moves made this year is getting us past the bucks, heat, Celtics or Brooklyn this year and def not against the best in the west. Why go crazy this season and lock ourselves into a roster not good enough to beat the sixers? We need to be the next wave of great teams that is coming in a few years , not now

Ak adding 1 year contracts to get some semblance of winning enough to hopefully impress the free agents next off season. Smart vets good coaching good locker room. Now let's see how the young talent we have respond and if the guys we have really are the core for the future because if they fail to make at least the 8th seed with all that's here then its time to start selling off and getting a new core. But we need more patience. Teams are already drying up in money we might get a couple more good pieces for 1 year deals for cheap.

This was not the year to go aggressive. I'm glad AK and eversly are moving how they moving.

Problem here is that the next wave of great teams is slowly becoming known, and is not us. It's the teams who are having a successful rebuild which not coincidentally are the teams who picked ahead of us in 2018.

Well being a great team doesn't mean we would be the only great team. This is def the stench of garpax. It was their job after trading jimmy to make sure we were in that group of next great teams with Dallas, Phoenix, Celtics, Atlanta, etc and they fumbled by not properly tanking then hiring a horrible coach evident by the fact not 1 team has even talked to boylen since he been let go here.

All I'm saying is we can't fall in love with the quick fix if we want to be title contenders. Now if we cool with middle of the pack a step below the title contenders with like Indiana and Portland etc then sure add Marc gasol and Fred vanfleet etc.

But if we want to be title contenders 2 ways to get there is 1 the 2 max slots plan which means we remain absent basically from this year's free agency circus, or 2 we see what we have as a core and if they are not good enough start looking for a new core. 2nd option is not pleasant but its what garpax left us.

For the record i dont believe the 2nd route we will have to take. Only piece I think we will have to part with is lauri because his deal compromises our 2 max deal. But i believe coby lavine gafford Carter jr and Williams with good coaching is about to show something great for the future add in the vets and this could be a playoff team. We take that into next off season with a ton of cash and then build from there

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. I'm not advocating for a quick fix at all.

I'm advocating for us to sell what we can before we have to give these guys new contracts and then we can rebuild properly.

Every year we wait, their value will likely depreciate. And even if someone like Lauri/WCJ have a come-back year and boosts their value, I doubt they'll have the guts to sell high. More likely they'll hand them a fair-value contract, and we'll be no where.

We've never seen the other side.

All we got was a half-assed "rebuild" where GarPax claimed we were building through the draft while acquiring zero extra picks.

He's probably the right guy for a year, we're either still on the 2021 cap space path or if trading Porter and Young for longer contracts but better players. He's a veteran that knows he's near the end of his career so he's not going to make waves about playing time, he's the mentor that so many wanted to pay somebody $36M to be.


That line of thought didn't exactly work with Thad.

People always forget that it's different when guys like Temple and Thad come to teams like the Bulls than it is when they go to contenders. Here, they know they have zero chance of a ring (or even a deep run in the playoffs) so they're thinking that at least they're getting to play a lot - on a contender they'd be nailed to the bench.

EVERYONE wants minutes in the NBA. The rookies, the guys in their primes, the grizzled vets, the washed has-beens. Everyone. Garrett Temple is going to want minutes, period.

Robert Parish did not want playing time that I am pretty sure of.

Temple is a solid shooter and passer, which is what ak said he is looking for in players, but his best attributes are his defense and the fact he is a good locker room guy. We need a one or two guys who aren't expensive, but aren't liabilities on either end of the court, and can be a good teammate and mentor to our young guys.

They signed a veteran backup G who is hopefully a veteran presence. That's it. We didn't expect much more than this did we?

The season will come down to players staying healthy and developing with a now professional coaching staff. They have good young talent, but probably no super stars. Can they show enough growth to get out of the bottom 7-8 teams in the league?

Yeah, I think the point is that these guys need to lift the team without FA help. If they fail, they will get another shot at a decent pick next season, if they are bolstered by a non-core addition, they lose that and haven't added a core piece. It seems like a sound strategy.

Temple in some way is going to be an extension of the coaching staff, in the locker room, on the bench and rarely on the floor. He is there for practice and development, nothing really on the court although he is a serviceable pro in a pinch.

I'm high on Adam too which is one reason I'd like to yeet Satoransky from the roster as quickly as possible.

Was starting to wonder what was going on. Guessing Bulls were trying to get some type of deal done, but it didn’t work out. Or maybe Garrett just couldn’t get to Chicago for some reason to actually sign the deal until now and I’ve been overthinking it.

I think there may have been some other deal they were trying to do outside of Temple.

I know the Bulls are not signing big name free agents this year. My problem is for the very little they want/have to spend why couldnt they bring in better more effective players. Bulls have min to MLE money right now, players like Etawn Moore/ Kent Bazemore/Gerald Green/Wayne Ellington/Torrey Craig/Demarus Cousins all signed for the min or slightly above to "big money MLE" players like Jae Crowder and Derrick Jones Jr.

Stars always shine brightest but they can't shine without solid role players around them.

I think it comes down to finding guys who can actually play, if called upon, but not so good that they will actually have expectations of being an every night player. Like it or not, the guys you are talking about are already here in Sato and Thad.
