The offense looks much better without them. I feel like I’m watching the early 2000s Kings.

There has to be light at the end of the tunnel right?

Next 4 years? Are we just making stuff up now.

We've already traded away our '21 and '23 picks, and we're not allowed to trade our '22 and '24 picks, so he's correct.

He's just too small. He's like half the size of archi

They knew how small he was when they drafted him and he did alright in the G League.

Why not give him some run? I see zero downside at this point.

I giggled out loud at half the size of Archi. A picture of a little leprechaun with a basketball popped into my head.

Oh. Wait.

The sad thing about what this season has done to this board is you rightfully felt the need to put the /s after that comment.

None. It won’t even be close that we’ll be in by far the worst forward looking position of any team in the NBA. We’ll be like the 80s Clippers.

Oh geez. You're still watching. I have a good shrink I can refer you to.

Hell is being Zach Lavine.

Can you imagine playing on a team like this?

Zach Lavine is perhaps the biggest loser in the NBA.

No player has his longevity in terms of being on bad basketball teams.

I mean, how do you fix a team that fouls too much, doesnt play good defense, turns the ball over the most in the league, doesnt get fast break points and doesnt get offensive rebounds? This is how you kill a franchise.

Adam Amin has somehow managed to make Stacey unbearable and make me long for Neil Funk. He isn't terrible himself, but he's such a terrible fit next to Stacey. If you're gonna have a clown in the booth (Stacey), it needs to be offset by a straight man (Funk). Two clowns in the booth is torturous.

Julius Randle I guess is also a career loser until he got with Thibs.

Any optimism I had for this team is long gone. I might have to take a step back next year. Watching these games have been bad for my mental health

Yeah. They were way better without Chris Webber. I think their winning percentage was better when he was hurt.

I hate hate hate how much they giggle with each other other while the bulls are down 20 :banghead:

Any player who willingly re-signs with us is out of their mind.

I just hate how much they giggle period. Everything is a bit with them.

I just looked up and the Bulls are still within 20. As Stacey says "still a lot of time left".

I think, technically, once the 2023 draft concludes we can actually trade that 2024 pick since there will be no consecutive pick next to it already committed. But we still have to effectively wait 4 years to be able to trade it.

Next to Amin, all of Stacey's positives are minimized while all of his weaknesses are amplified.

Hopefully the few fans they let in boo loudly on Friday.
