2024-2025 Bulls Season IGT

why do the nuggets wanna move MPJ, though?

I mean, they probably don't, but it's the only way to get Zach, if they are truly interested because they have to salary match. Of course, bringing a 3rd team in changes the conversation, but in the simple terms they don't have another choice if they want to deal with the Bulls directly due to the rules

i guess i just dont see why the nuggets would trade a guy(plus filler) getting 18 and 7 per game while shooting near 40% from 3

those are as good as ZL's numbers, so i dont see how it is an upgrade for the nuggets at all

Reminder, Bulls fans don't deserve ZL.

I don't either, I'm just saying if the rumor about Nuggets wanting Zach is true, this is the only way about it (presuming that Jokic and Murray are untouchable, as they should be).

The rumor could be baseless and the Nuggets may actually think as you do in reality, making the whole thing moot

LaVine is better than MPJ. It's from the Bulls perspective that I do not see it and it would only be done to save a few million. Earliest pick they can trade is 2031, no young potential, nothing. A third team would be needed. LaVine would be a great fit with them though.

It's hilarious watching teams of late. Like this Boston @ Bulls game, the Celtics have an open 3, then the shooter just pauses, says "****" in their head, then drive it inside instead. Teams are rigged. And it's coming straight from the officials. I have never seen a pro sport, in my life, where the rules are tested per game basis, to establish data, without the fans knowing what is fair.

Seriously, tell me that's not what others are seeing too? This is not how it has always been. Never this bad at least.

Huh? Haven’t really been watching but are you saying the NBA is rigged?

NBA ratings are down 48% over the last 12 years, 25% decline from last year, and the Celtics coach admits he doesn’t watch games and would rather watch something else

Clearly there is a huge issue with the product.

In context to the game I was watching. The game was being called differently in the first half and the second. The players knew the rule bias going in, coaches will tell them they had talks with refs and are told what is going to be called more. So it's technically the same rules for both teams. But it rigs the game a bit when the rules favor one team build vs another.


I'm saying the league is doing something, and it may not be to pick a winner. To get analytics to see which rule interpretations keep the most viewers. Using low meaning games or even just HALF of the game to experiment and get more data. The Bulls being deemed a limbo-rebuild team, it's a bit more clear if you watch games from across the league and compare.

Like if the score is 74-68 at halftime, 10 years ago people would have tuned in to watch how high the score ran up. Now, people are turning a game like that off, and would rather just view the box score when it's done.

RN, Indy at Sac, 4th quarter. The Kings are playing with 2 men out, and the Pacers are playing with 3-4. Neither play ball like this normally, it's a huge red flag.
