If this team could pull off two wins on a Cleveland or Boston in the playoffs id buy in and I’d consider it worth it to keep pushing. I don’t see that as a possibility at all so I want our draft pick. I’m tired of this middle of the road 500 garbage we’ve been getting for years.
Only Vuc needs to be traded. If we're looking for a player who can score in this year's draft, what then would the wisdom be trading Zach? What sense is trading good players for potential busts? Look at Zion. He's not a bust by no means but he's a part time basketball player. You have no idea what you're gonna get in drafting a player, lottery or not
He might swerve bend that corner woahhh😂
They need a coach
That nothing the bulls need a coach
There’s nothing they can do! We need a lottery pick in this draft class. A playoff exit won’t help.
I might be the first to ask this, but…Why did we hire Wes Unseld Jr? His coaching resume isn’t impressive AT ALL…🤷🏽♀️
Haize, I have absolutely no problem with you giving Billy Donovan credit. I want him to succeed. I just want him to be more consistent as a Head Coach. I'm not triggered. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The league did it to themselves because of this second apron bullshit…
The league didn’t have to do this restriction
It can't be no less than a 1st round win. Not a play-in win. A series win. Otherwise what are we doing! This team has to show that they can at least make to a 2nd round and build upon that, if not then tank.
