At 12:30 of this video 📷 I had to sit my @$$ on the couch to to keep from lmao on the floor! Voltron DAYUMM 🤣😂😭😂🤣
Small ball insanity right around the corner. The Bulls are so kind to the rest of the NBA. This is embarrassing
BULLS SUCK. I was a massive Bulls and NBA fan growing up but the shit show that has been the Bulls since Jordan retired has turned me off to the Bulls and the NBA. Fuck the Bulls and Fuck the NBA! Idiots run that franchise.
Wtf
The ayo trade is thee dumbest trade the bulls have made in a long time. He is home grown and still developing. He has better D then 95% of the team, he improved his down hill to the basket, and improved his 3 point shooting. Also, he is not turnover prone like giddy and coby.
I see nothing direction with all these guards and no legit front court defender/rebounder.
Benny the Bull next.
No move just a dumb trade!
zach collins and jalen smith the tallest but pat funny asf
Update: They didnt trade for Zion and Giannis 😂
Getting of everyone except Billy Donovan and Patrick Williams is crazy. Im done with this team until we get new ownership
24:31 “ I got I got a bottle of Jack Daniel’s “ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 nice
Bro all jokes set aside we have not gotten better somehow we traded all our best players away and did not get a first-round pick Zion Williamson Giannis antetokounmpo and Kat and we got nothing but guards
Move some of them second round picks towards Chicago's Bears new stadium in Arlington Heights
Bulls are a joke man so sad
WE SHOULD BLACK OUT BULLS GAMES…. ON TV AND TICKET PURCHASES 😂😂😂😂
Damn AK
Bulls ain’t felt like the Bulls since D Rose was traded if we’re being honest
As a wolves fan i hope Rob turns into the next Curry blunder by the wolves just so Finch looks like an idiot for not giving him a chance over Conley, but not sure if he will.
Cant fall in love with your players, even local. We need a complete rebuild from 1st round draft picks up. Not nba rigged b.s.
wtf is going on 😂
Pat goin off is one of the best things I've seen. "THIS NIGGA SUCKS!" had me cryin lmfaoo.
Also, prolly the most annoying thing with trading Ayo is that AK actually traded him when his value was high…and STILL didnt get a 1st rounder in the trade. I want AKME investigated and fired my g
Did wolves basically get young jrue holiday?
You would think the host got traded. Man, this cat is totally out of control, using the "N" word in complete disrespect. I don't like the trade either the, but I don't intend to run my blood pressure up over it.
No way bro mentioned are they gonna trade all that for Zion or Giannis, Giannis is far more valuable then him that’s crazy to put them together 😭💯but him nd giddy together would be fire to see
Ayo is not irreplaceable but caving, and taking back Conley and Dillingham for Minnesota who was stuck stuck for four seconds is the exact thing they should not have done. It's fine to pivot to build around Giddey, and Matas, but fact of the matter is Ayo would have fit that nicely along those two on a good number. It's why you have to be willing to let guys get to free agency.
I think Miller can be a solid rotation guy, maybe more. Taking a look at Dieng is probably worth it for Coby. Maybe Matas would slide to a two, but they could also be leaning into tanking.
They traded two guards, for Simons, Ivey, Sexton, in that way it's sort of pointless. I don't think there's a massive separation between any of those, but it's like what was the point outside of bailing Minnesota out of a sticky situation? It's why Mathurin didn't do a lot for me, it's like there's not enough of a difference between White, Mathurin, and Ayo merit a shake up.
It reminds me of when the Wolves were in a similar boat with D-Lo who was not working at all, and Utah bails them out with Conley and Naw (who at the time was a throw in). They help Wolves circumvent the cap, and deal Conley again to bring him back, and give them Ayo for future "assets" which second round picks used to be traded for cash. Also what draft are all these seconds coming in?
The thing the Wolves/Bulls, and Wolves/Jazz trade have in common is Minnesota's GM Tim Connelly's brother was in both opposing team's front office. Same scenario, Wolves were screwed with D-Lo, and screwed with Conley/Dillingham. Bulls misunderstood their leverage at best over Wolves, or they have sleeper agents in the FO who's goal was to improve Minnesota for some reason.
I don't have a problem moving Ayo but not for this to the Timberwolves who were in a absolute bind. Better off keeping, and bringing him back, or letting him find a starting role/money this off-season. Ayo might be a little overrated here, his efficiency is a little like the Naz thing where it's three's or rim only, and doesn't have point guard handle, but good enough for today's current rules. You just got to know where other teams are at.
Do NOT underestimate Robert!
Yeah it’s tragic I loved ayo
