Zero future unless they trade EVERYONE
What do you think of us drafting zach edey and trading Vucevic, Terry + 2nd round pick for Jerami grant(way too old for trailblazer timeline) ?
I'll always be a Bulls fan no matter how good or bad they are but I don't know when this team will greatly turn around and at least make the playoffs. The team has a long long way to go
Exactly. The bulls will always be my team! I was thinking about that during the current playoffs! Like these teams are great. The players are great. Heck. The games have been amazing! But I just wish my bulls were also competing in a deep playoff run🥲🥲🥲
so you will always give them an excuse to be bad lol
@@Joker-jz9cnbeen a bulls fan since I started watching basketball. Been here for the good and the bad and I’m willing to thug it out. D rose hit that game winner on the Cavs in the playoffs on my birthday and to this day has been the best gift I’ve ever received. Go be a Celtics fan or whoever wins this championship if you not willing to do the same 😭
Mail Bag question: Seeing how the Mavs and Twolves made it to their Conference Finals without a stretch 5. is there really a need for them anymore? can we stop making Vooch shoot 3s and just have him in the post and rebound like gafford and lively? or finally trade him for a true rim protector?
I honestly say we trade Vooch & draft zach edey with our 11th pick. (He's projected 15th)
Idk how youre watching the conference finals and say we need Vuc in the post lmao. Gobert, Lively and Gafford are all athletic rim protectors, with lively adding short roll passing. Also, those guys are able to get away with playing them because they play next to floor spacers and offensive stars that we lack. Not that easy
@@JayRandom2013 I think he's trying to say we just need Vuc to stop shooting 3's if he's gonna shoot like 🗑
@@ciccio40105 oh I can agree with that than haha
Easy solution, if I'm the bulls gm, the stars have aligned for us to get a good draft pick for the next two years. I'm not saying tank, but maybe you use the next two years to let the young guys like, pwill(at the 3), coby and ayo get some run to see what we have in them while letting Terry, Phillips, sanogo, get some run as well. Don't not resign derozan, trade caruso and zach and add those assets plus the 11th pick, top ten pick from this years stacked draft to this core. The bulls are far off from a championship team and the current teams are all home grown teams. It's an easy solution. In this current landscape, I dont think their is a good star right now to trade for, but maybe we wait for a giannis to hit free agency, but in the meantime, we need to see if coby, ayo, pwill, the 11th pick, and top 10 pick from 2025 can turn into a good core for the future.
Boycott Bulls into Reinsdorks to selling the team is the only option
They ain't selling as long as casuals keep filling the arena. Trust me they don't need the actual fans anymore. Casuals will go because Jordan once played there
Reinsdorfs aren’t the problem. Chicago just isn’t a free agent destination. Never had been.
Yeah I've been at Bulls fan since 1983 watching Dave Corzine, Reggie Theus, Orlando Woodridge and Sidney Green that team went 27-55 and that 1999 team was hard to watch. Both teams, those years was bad for me.
Being a bulls fan in 1999 was the real struggle lol. But I'm still here and it's always been easier to see the good since then 😂
Markkanen is just pure art.
I agree, if your age at 35+, 1999-2003 are most painful season's! No matter which one of them. Guyton, Bagaric, Tarlac, Fizer. Eddie House taking over, eh... etc. Those where very painful seasons, until Bulls drafted Hinrich at 2003 draft. This last period, 2017-2024 can't be compered to those years!
Exactly, those post dynasty years were WAY worse than the recent post Jimmy Butler years
I get where yall coming from but I'd argue these years are worse cuz we've SEEN this group do some awesome and just as many embarrassing things. It's different when you KNOW the teams gonna suck, you're just gonna keep expectations on the ground level. But we KNOW coby and ayo will be good and we've seen this team beat great teams (Minnesota, Indiana, Miami, knicks, sixers) with the young guys leading the charge. It's worse to have hope than understand that there's nothing to look forward to
Really? I was born in 90s so I didn't start watching until mid 2000s. But worse than that 2018-19 bulls ? Jim Boylen's dumpster fire, 22-60, we literally ran Markannen (the most talented rookie we had since rose) out of the team. The games were just straight ugly. This year I thought was the most entertaining year since we were 1st.
Coby could be a top five second best player. Ayo could get some votes for All-Defense.
For us being able to hang with guys like Ant, Luka, Brunson, or Halliburton. It’s gonna be a long ride but when that happens it’s just gonna feel even more sweeter
Got to find a offer for Zach and go from there. Resign everyone on the team free agent wise and either draft a big that can catch lobs and block shots or trade that pick for Zacks replacement. Caruso and the pick for a all-star
Julian Phillips would be a 1st round pick in this years draft.
Yeah, I’d agree with that
As a bulls fan I don’t understand how ak is still a gm and billy as are coach
Reinsdorfs is how
Nobody in their right mind is coming to work for the Reinsdorfs.
Claxton or a big from the draft?
We need a big that can shoot
I’d say draft Zach Edey and try to trade for Myles Turner, maybe Zach or demar with a pick added on top
then do a twin tower lineup of Edey and Turner with Vooch coming off the bench
Having Coby, Ayo, Pat ,Edey and Turner as a starting lineup would automatically give our starting lineup ..rim protection, youth, size, and shooting
All things we were lacking last season
Was born a Bulls fan and will die a Bulls fan, but I'm realistic and know that as long as the Reisndorfs own this team we will be below average franchise. The Jordan days are long, long gone #SeeRed
I'm optimistic that the bulls don't have much of a future. They might not have any future.
id offer zach lavine and vooch for allen
Then cav’s would have to cut 41 million on their salary cap to make that work. I swear people dont understand wtf a salary cap is. To put that into perspective for you, donavon mitchel is 35.4million.. they would have to get rid of him plus more 😂😂😂😂
Claxton could be g8.
Sign Miles Bridges. Forward problem solved.
Bro going to sign to a team for more money the bull’s can offer
@@mikemade1211 It's not a question of "can", it's a question of "will". They got to bust a cap on the salary cap if they want to compete and this is the player to do it on.
@@grandma3000 if we traded lavine last season for someone on an expiring contract then it would be possible. But we cannot do it this off season
@@mikemade1211 Stranger things have happened. Maybe a sign and trade for Lavine. Bridges has some baggage so his options might be limited. Whatever we do we need a legit power forward(s) or we are dead in the water.
@@grandma3000 miles bridges does not contribute to winning and we literally cannot sign him as we are over the cap and would to either sign and trade for him or trade players for little to assets to get the money to sign him
When you see teams with generational talent not even making the conference finals we are waaaaaay off competing for the top. We gotta get our Jokic, Luka, Giannis etc ...
Bulls will be stuck around 8-12 seed for a long time until they go into a full rebuild. Free agents arent coming here unless we overpay for them and those are B class free agents we are giving max dollars to. Ask Lavine how that worked out for the bulls
We'll be stuck around 12-15 with a full rebuild, that's for some years. Ready for that? As for free agents, just because they are available doesn't mean they want to go to the Bulls. Players tell their agents what teams they'll negotiate with. Gafford and Vooch is a bummer, but thats in hindsight after everything. I'm sure you were just fine when the Bulls were cooking after all we acquired before injuries 😂
MEDIOCRICITY IS THE VERY COMMON THING IN THIS BULLS TEAM. IF WE CONTINUE NOT TO REBUILD OR COMPLETELY REVAMP THE BULLS FUTURE IS BLINK FROM EXISTENCE
If Lebron opts out this offseason, what are the chances that Davis request a trade? And what are the chances it will be a request to the bulls?
I've thought about that possibility as well, but I really don't see Lerbon leaving, he's going to stay in LA and demand they get Bronny
@BullsCentral if I was a team in the second round, I would draft Bronny sight unseen. Using a second on Bronny wouldn't be seen as a reason to fire you.
PAT IS A SF
I think he can play either
The Bulls have the worst future in the league. No picks, no stars or enticing young talent. They’re just stuck in purgatory. No man’s land.
1999 sucked as a bulls fan, the year they got Jay Williams only to have Tim Floyd not play him was a miserable season too
Lemme guess what he says:
No.
As long as Jerry owns the BULLS, this team will do NOTHING!!!
Look at all the misses the Bulls have passed on even last year.....PJ Washington just sat in free agency and the Bulls could have gone that route, now look at him, we needed shooters but they didn't even address that important issue. Look at Daniel Gafford, for instance, Arturo is not as good as we think because they blundered a bunch of moves before and after he came on board but the Vooch trade was not worth it!!!!!
PJ Washington probably didn't want to come here. Just because they are available doesn't mean they want to come to the Bulls
@@keyo888exactly, we aren't really a free agent destination especially knowing who owns the team
I just wanna see Demar & Vuč finally go. Demar did his dues as Veteran for sure but it's definitely time to leave because him & Vuč, in the end, holding the rest of the team totally back.
I don't wanna see this weak mentality of Demar (& Vuč too) anymore. Just score! In close situations going more for fouls instead of really trying to score just sucks & keeps the pace of the Youngins down. Also how will the Youngins get prepared mentally wise when both Vets are weak in this point. Getting angry way to often, getting easy frustrated & always arguing with the refs etc. holds the whole Team back. With all the Love, PLEASE LET 'EM GO!!!
We're over the turning point already, Youngins don't need this weak mentality man.
First
@BullsCentral Put some respect on Zach Lavine’s name. Even Dorozan has said that he has NEVER played with a player as talented as Lavine. Stop adding to this narrative that Lavine is just this horrible teammate who doesn’t impact winning. The FIRST and ONLY time we have put a winner roster around Lavine we were 1st in the East!!! Mentor who??? That’s rebuilding talk. Derozan is about to be 35 years old… How durable do you think a 35-38 year old player is going to be on the backend of their career in a league where the pace is picking up? Now I agree with those targets that you mentioned at the center position but some people are saying Ingram… Again… I wasn’t for the Ball signing due to the previous surgeries that he had on that same knee and now fans are advocating for a player with a history of having blood clots?? Go ask Chris Bosh how well that worked out.
Naw..we can't get rid of any of our draft picks at this point ....clear the deck...keep coby williams Terry ayo and our other rookie from this year....let them play...feel like they will win almost as many games....keep demar out of default get rid of zach asap....even for pennies......get a couple young bigs and work thru the draft...I think ayo white derozan Williams and vuc and or Drummond would be as good as they were this year...I know ayo and coby play hard the whole game...Terry too....get that type of energy out there...get guys like Zach who have huge talent but are premadonnas and have no actual winning impact on the games outta here...and not only that they hinder everyone else...messes up everyone else's game...wasn't a coincidence that we played alot better as a team the moment zach Sits his ass down.....ayo is legit...on both sides of the ball...if he keeps improving his offense he's gonna be an all star and a great defender...I think coby and ayo are great pieces for a championship team...Williams too....but we still would need that consensus number 1 and he's gotta have that killer mindset AND play fuckin defense.....I would rather us go that route..let the youngsters take the team..keep the vets we have too and that can actually help amd get rid of any of the poison..mostly just Levene...we still got Caruso too....but I'd rather do that...try to get some good young talent this year and next...don't tank but just go out and play and see where we fall....but I think we def need to let the youngsters take over this team...lonzo ball opted in for this year to play so if he can get back to shape by mid season who knows..we might have a decent squad....but I would much rather let ayo and coby start and develop and let them keep gettin their confidence up...ayk was out there sharp shooting!!! And when he drives to the hole he hardly ever misses his finishes ...he's def improved a ton..
.hos defense is great and gettin better so if his offense stays like this he will be an allstar...shot he could def be an allstar imo...I love players Like ayo...hustles the whole time..don't take plays off...plays defense first and is super humble....jjst got his head down and putting in the work.. and the last half of the season he looked amazing....we jjst need one more guy young and full of energy that PLAYS DEFENSE but who can be our number 1....then those 3 can grow together and hopefully thrive eventually...I want to include Williams in there and I fr think he would be alot better w him playin w the youngsters..somethin about him and our vets?? Feel like Levene just hinders those guys..somehow makes em feel uncomfortable to take and miss shots or somethi ..idk....but from what I've seen any time hes out there and zach ain't out there he's usually alot more aggressive and looks alot more confident...shit...coby too.....used to think zach was a superstar..thought he was in the brink of breaking out...now after a few years of building around him I realise he's not even a competent number 3...sure he's got superstar talent....but he's got highschool.BBALL IQ......add that to him actually truly believing he deserves to be paid and played Luke a superstar when he's never delivered..never made his teamates better...never put the team on his back...let derozan come over and take his team..then I stead of balking out and takin it back with hos Plat and respect from the team..they had a meeting about it and told everyone to let zach be the leader this year lolol fuckin joke man....I said it when demar was takin it from him....why would he let a guy come take his shit like that and not at min ball out and show us why he's the number 1...and I really believed it at that point..felt like it was a good issue to have....then I realised he didn't want to earn it..he wanted it to just be given and to jhst let him be that guy and follow behind when he never did anything to make the fans or his teamates believe in him...ever.....still sick about the fact that we have a superstar talent and can't even trade him for a 2nd round pick....why??? Cause teams know u cannot win with him as your guy....all of em might take him if he had a lower paying Contract....but that much money?? And he doesn't affect winning at all?? But he will sure lose u some games jhst off his stupidity alone every year....still can't believe we can't get anything ....but he's the reason I think this team fell behind..why we haven't done shit...he's a poison in the locker room....he's that guy that everyone say hello amd goodbye to and might cracks joke w here and there....but the guy that u don't want yo hang out with after work....prolly talk about all the bulshit he had to endure etc.....
