More long conversations is good. Do one every couple of weeks or so
Directionless rudderless motorless organization attached with scavenger free agents and management that have nowhere to go just collecting paychecks. Also, cheapest worst owner in sports who used Jerry Krause to do his bidding.
Crazy they could gotten T-Mac if they would let K make the move.
The Deng thing and lack of draft talent sucked but to me these were worse
1) not signing Jimmy
2) not retaining Phil as if they were smart for moving on and trying to hang on to what was
3) Pwill at 4
4) trading for Vuc
5) Lonzo injury
The Krause thing is especially weird
Listen, I maintain I would have booed Kraus being honored. People were booing long before they mentioned his widow. They should have seen this coming and introduced him more carefully. It was too late to respect her by the time they introduced her – the damage was done.
The post-Jordan rebuild, Derrick getting hurt, JWill crashes his motorcycle, LeBron's GW to tie the series in 2015, firing Thibs, trading Derrick, choosing Hoiberg over Jimmy, Lonzo's injury, and lastly this past trade deadline.
Yeah it's been hard out here for a Bulls fan. The universe is punishing us for dominating the 90s. Now we have to atone for too much greatness, I guess. 😭
They weren't a good franchise before Jordan either. You remove the MJ seasons their basically the Timberwolves
The crowd being brainwashed by the last dance documentary into booing Krause, bringing his widow to tears, was especially pathetic.
Rajon Rondo getting hurt in 2017 after going up 2-0 against the 1st seed Celtics in the first round. We would have won, but instead I got to see Jerian Grant and Michael Carter Williams get put in jail by Avery Bradley for the next 4 games.
Why boo Jerry Krause's family? Ok, he split the two three peat team but he was one of the reasons why they had such a sucessful 90's. Even with moves that Jordan didn't approved.
As a fan who didn’t get to witness the Jordan years , being a fan of this team has been nothing but pure pain
Jerry Reinsdorf ruining both franchises he owns. He needs to sell both
Jay Williams is top 5 NBA what ifs, imo
Other than MJ and Rose, it’s been very tough franchise to watch.
Elton Brand was a walking double-double for the Bulls. They traded him to the Clippers for the rights to Tyson Chandler because they didn't think they would be able to re-sign him. Brand was shocked.
Don't forget the 49 point game and Tracy Mcgrady leaving them at the alter
I love it went the national media shames the Bulls. They’re an embarrassment of a franchise and I hate them.
– Long suffering Bulls fan
oh my goodness valentine
The louol deng stretch and waive was crazy work by them 😭😭
Can I nominate the 5-year, $225 million extension for Zach LaVine??? I still don’t know who they were bidding against…
The Bulls should be a great team. They're in one of the coolest, greatest cities in the world. But the fucking Reinsdorfs are like the worst owners in the NBA, especially since Dolan shut up & got out of his team's way. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE
Idk Jerry Krause has single handedly ruined 2 Chicago sports franchises and refuses to sell or take the blame. The boos are deserved if you’re a Chicago sports fan
The bulls have bad karma. Will take them a while to recover.
As a bulls fan I can give you like 50 more😭
Jay Williams isn’t good, false history
