2024 Bulls Offseason Thread

[Scoot26]

Cowley seems to think that the entire organization wants him gone.

Fortunately, who he is so, so easily trade able.

They'll trade him for a Top 59 protected 2nd rounder and someone like Ben Simmons.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Yes, but we’ve also known for some time that he’s mid as fuck…at best. He’s definitely part of the problem more so than he is part of the solution

I agree with you, but just saying of the changes that should happen for this team, BD is not gonna be one of them that realistically happens

i agree with you, but just saying of the changes that should happen for this team, none will be realistically happening

Right…unfortunately. I’m curious to see these changes AK is referring to.

Hey now, there is a 0.00002% chance Zach Lavine gets traded

I'd tend to agree, but I think it's important to note the likelihood of Lavine getting traded is because of how others look at him. With BD it's about how AKME looks at him.

 

[Enasic]

Might sound meatballish, but I saw BD joking and laughing with someone after the game right before DeMar’s press conference. DeMar was noticeably upset as he should have been after an elimination loss.

Hell, my grade school coach ripped us after a loss because some of the guys were laughing and joking after a regular season loss. I feel like you should be a lot more upset and not in a joking mood after continuous failures, let downs, and under performances. Can you imagine Thibs joking around after an elimination loss to a jimmy-less heat team? In embarrassing fashion? Then again, thibs is a winner and BD just likes to listen to himself talk and chew gum.

I don't really want DeRozan back... .and now with reports of him rejecting a 2-year, 80 million dollar deal in hopes of getting a longer deal? Definitely don't want him back.

I don't really want DeRozan back... .and now with reports of him rejecting a 2-year, 40 million dollar deal in hopes of getting a longer deal? Definitely don't want him back.

I'm 50/50 on him coming back.

im with ya here. Demar is a great guy and a hell of a basketball player...but, his style of play does not fit todays nba. bulls should have traded him at the deadline this year IMO

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Caruso could have been maximized at the deadline this year as well, but two play-in games were deemed more important. I just worry you won't get as much for him in the off-season. Ultimately, you can't lose a player for nothing in the NBA (can't do it in any sport, really, but in the NBA I feel it hurts more), so maybe DeMarr is a S&T guy.

 

[Enasic]

S&T DeMar
Trade Caruso
Trade Vuc
Trade LaVine

Easy peezy

To no one's surprise

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Going to need some of you to talk to me about who could be drafted at the #11

 

[clonetrooper264]

lol 10th place Hawks get the #1 pick and at least a chance to hope for a way out of mediocrity land

 

[clonetrooper264]

Removing doom and gloom glasses for a minute, it actually could work in the Bulls favor that this draft class is supposedly so weak (which usually just means no clear generational talent at the top) as they could have a good talent fall into their laps at 11 that wouldn't have normally been there. Lotto picks might just have higher floors and lower ceilings, which while it doesn't help the Bulls in the superstar department, might at least enable them to get a solid rotational piece who can help right away

As we just saw in this lottery, tanking doesn't really guarantee you anything come draft time.

 

[Axl Rose]

To have the season Pistons had then to get the 5th pick is brutal. I'm seeing them offering it to us for LaVine.

On the other if we lost a few more games we'd have the #1 pick. That kinda hurts too.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

#5 for Zach and Vuc

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

I hate player comps with a passion, and there's no shortage of stupid ones when it comes to the NBA. The one mock draft site I like is NBAdraft.net, and they have the Bulls taking Ja'Kobe Walters. They comp him to Reggie Bullock, which in a draft that is said to be pretty weak I think that's a good player to model the #11 pick after.
