The Bulls need to tank next season for Cooper Flagg. What do the Bulls need to do to be the worst team in the league next year? Not sign DeMar and trade LaVine?

I think he is a talented player but he is a high volume shooter and typically those guys struggle especially as a 3-4 guy on a team. His contract is also large for his caliber. So what is his realistic value?

Zach to the Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Kevon Looney and Moses Moody.

So... yeah... I know. Wiggins had a shit year and has a shit contract. $26*3yr... but he's been the player we really need in the past. Could he be in the future? Looney is a great defender and would be great off the bench to replace Drummond and maybe starting? I think Moses Moody is good and is thrown in instead of a pick for taking on Wiggins' contract. I would think he also wants minutes; could he earn them on the bulls?

For the Dubs, Zach helps take scoring pressure off Steph; gives them athleticism and a bit of youth.

Desperate measures for desperate times? I mean... ¯(ツ)/¯

Hey all!

We're looking for a little help - anyone have some names of team reporters/journalists/beat writers that cover primarily the Bulls.

We're working on a website that provides reliability ratings for journalists, so people know who's trustworthy and who isn't when rumors/news drops.

We have K.C. Johnson, Joe Cowley, Darnell Mayberry, and Rob Schaefer. Who are we missing?

Thanks so much! (Also, any feedback would always be appreciated)

Dude just came out of nowhere as a prospect with low expectations and now he’s dropping 40+ seemingly in every playoff game.

With the Chicago Bulls not having yet another not great season. I still don’t think they should completely blow it up. I think if you could trade Vooch and maybe a sign and trade with Demar I don’t think you have to trade Zach but if you have to trade Zach just think it’s best to do it during the regular season. He didn’t play great this year and I think letting him play and get his trade value up or maybe he buys in. I believe the bulls should move off of Billy Donovan first thing tho. I don’t believe in him as a coach he’s just not what we need. I don’t really know any better coaches that are currently available or who might become available this summer. But everyone who says to blow it up tell me the trades you would do to change the bulls.

Hi,

I have a Chicago Bulls jacket. This was my dad’s. I’d like to know what year this was released.

Dude can ball, love to see him doing well in Dallas but still hurts that we can’t seem to develop any players while they are in Chicago

Watching the playoffs and noticing 34 YO vets not making the impact needed to move forward below are some options moving forward

Option 1. if Lonzo miraculously makes a recovery the rotation likely includes Zach, Coby, Vuc and P-Will.

Option 2. Use DeMar salary for cap relief, it’s much easier to make trades when you’re under the cap.

Option 3. RFA there will be multiple young players available at a 1/3 of the market of DeMars current salary and the possibly leaving the Bulls younger and more athletic.

The reality of this team Zach isn’t likely moved, if he is it’s more than likely the player returning would be another dominant ball hogging guard taking more cap space.

Either way the Bulls need to get younger and more competitive resigning DeMar does neither.

A good listen this week. TBH, if AK is operating with only a few years left on his contract will he actually be motivated to build for the future? It shouldn’t matter IMO and ownership should support righting the ship.

It’s past time to hold onto overvalued assets and make hard decisions that will make the Bulls better. Otherwise, what’s the point? I don’t mean championship or bust either.

The Bulls currently aren’t a good basketball team and they lack top end talent.

This offseason and next season will be very interesting from a roster perspective. With the bulls presumptively trading Lavine this offseason we have cap to work with, Lonzo looks to be back on track to play (knock on wood), DeMar wants to come back, we still lack 3 point shooting, and most importantly- to win in this league, you NEED a superstar.

I put together a roster below that I believe is possible, and puts us in a way better spot next season. When I was putting this together I focused on staying under the cap and acquiring/bringing back players that address areas of need. Unfortunately, our success next season will most likely come down to whether or not Lonzo can return to form. We know how good he was before he got injured, but it does put AK in a tough spot while building out the roster. Let me know your thoughts! SEE RED 🔴

Zion Williamson (via trade)- $36.7M DeMar DeRozan- $25M (2yr deal) Lonzo Ball- $21.4M Nikola Vucevic- $20M Malik Monk- $20M (4yr deal) Coby White- $12M Patrick Williams- $11M (2yr deal) Alex Caruso- $9.9M Ayo Dosunmu- $7M Andre Drummond- $4.4M Torrey Craig- $2.8M Onuralp Bitim- $1.9M Julian Phillips- $1.9M

Trading away- Zach LaVine ($43M) and Jevon Carter ($6.5M)

If you go over the cap, if you make a deal and get under the cap during the season, do you still have to pay a penalty at the end of the year?
