No you don't have to think that. Like...not at all. You can argue about the results but I very seriously doubt that he doesn't care.

If/when we lose in the play-in again, honestly could see him jettisoned.


Didn't AK get a secret extension around when Billy did?

So basically: no picks.

It's like trying to buy something from somebody but they don't accept money.

Oooh man, this is tough.

The team should be selling not buying. You need assets to get better through trades, the Bulls don't have any.


There is only one team to be crowned champs! The rest are all losers after each season.. you think if we traded for picks now we would be contenders right away? I bet you not.. we will need the same strike of luck.

We simply don't have championship ambitions. Its that easy. We have ambitions to be competitive, make money and hope somehow the chips fall in our advantage and we advance in the playoffs a round or two. That's the organizational goal for AKME.

The Charlotte Hornets have championship aspirations. The Washington Wizards have championship aspirations. The Utah Jazz have championship aspirations.

They must. They made trades.

It's the same roster bro. We can predict what's gonna happen in the next 30 games.


No, we cant!

Yes, yes we can.


You are not someone special like Nostradamus.. stop doing that to yourself. No one can predict any outcome. Have you predicted the rise of the Warrioris dynasty? Or did you ever predicted the #8 seed Knicks would go all the way to the Finals? Nope not a chance.. our chances will not only depend on our lineup BUT also the other team’s performance.. dont forget that!

So AKME chooses to be middling (again) instead of acquiring draft capital or young prospects which will lead to a middling FRP this draft.

The Bulls owes a top 10 protected FRP to the in 2025 too.

What!? Do you even understand what you're saying? Trading for picks is for a chance at being a contender in the future, not straight away.

Did not trading for picks (or anything for that matter) make the Bulls a contender right away?

But he also is not trying to send out anymore picks either so I can see them wanting to play this out and stay on a competitive trajectory with Coby. It doesn't mean we are not gonna still move Zach or we are 100% certain to bring back Demar it simply means you play out the string and come summer you reassess starting on draft day .

Yes he is that dumb because he has no idea of how to properly apprise his players.

In theory, you're absolutely not wrong. Unless you sit AK down in a room and ask him the question, you still may not know his true feelings. But consider me traditional and old school, but to me, actions speaks louder than words, and words are absolutely meaningless without actions to back what you say. And to his credit, the words that he uses to describe the team over the last few year, and how much he enjoys this core group, and the minuscule positive signs he continues to see, is in absolute unison with the lack of significant moves, leads me to think he is ABSOLUTELY content with where his team is, and he DOESN'T CARE to make this team a true contender any time soon. If that is his goal, that he is doing a fantastic job.

Thw warriors dynasty started as a playoff team..... on the backs of young up-and-coming players. We have 1 good up-and-coming player.

IMO Caruso might have less trade value this offseason because he’s in an expiring contract and he’s putting up career high shooting percentages so far this season.

We’ll see how it plays out, but the writing is on the wall. The Bulls need a reset.

I don't understand why people are getting worked up over a very unlikely $20m contract for Williams.

Coby White just re-signed for 3/$33 - was also a top-10 pick, but actually played better than Williams leading up to RFA.

Please don't stress about Pat's next contract, keep that blood pressure down.

PWill was a top 4 pick that AKME drafted, not GarPax like Coby, and his perceived "ceiling" is a lot higher than Coby's ever was until recently. Plus Pat has said he wants $20+ mil a year.

AKME loves Pat. I fully expected him to get that $20M+ per year contract. We bid against ourselves for Vuc, why wouldn't we do the same with Pat?

I hope the Bulls go on a losing streak, resulting in 1. Better draft position, 2. Lessening the likelihood of DeMar signing long-term, and 3. AK getting fired and never getting a good front office position again.

Come at me eternal optimists!

Of course! Thing is you don’t have a clue how these GM works.. no one from this forum does and includes you! Do you even read news? There was no offer that could make us trade any of our guys to start with! So you want to trade Zach for picks? Now how about salary match? Let go Dre for what some 2nd picks in 4-5 years? What you are saying is a reflective of how much you have a feel for this game.. zero! Stop acting like Nostradamus man.. It makes you look stupid TBH..
