My favorite teams
The players do have a ton of respect for DeMar, but that ain't enough

I agree to an extent with this. I think tanking in 2024 is the right way to go, see what you get, and maybe still be bad enough for another top 10 in 2025. After that you're kind of getting iffy (unless you've drafted poorly). It's really not hard to just end up with the pick outside of 8. I feel like by 2026, they need to be trying. But also depends on what they got.
I don't agree with this that they will revert to the old CBA. The NBA and the majority of owners have been trying to institute a hard cap since 1983. This second level tax is as close as they're getting (for now). The NBA is actually probably hoping talent gets spread out and the super teams are more of a thing of the past. They don't want teams to be able to spend through the roof to afford all these good players.
Personally, I'm not a believer in the "punish teams for being good at drafting". I'm also of the belief the max contract should be eliminated. So if you draft well, pay your players whatever the hell they want to be paid. Don't want to pay them? You don't have to. They can go elsewhere, but they won't get the money since it would fall within salary cap rules.
To some extent I like the idea of league parity, but I think there's a certain balance to it.

Watch this shitty front office get stuck with this crappy roster for another year because they don’t know what they are doing. Bulls somehow went from GarPax to the Phil Emery of NBA GM’s

The kid in the pink suit…. His mom’s giant boobs are the most interesting thing I’ve seen in this draft so far.

As much as I hated garpax, akme might be worse. At least garpax drafted decent.

The last time the city of Chicago was so disappointed was when Cade McNown was drafted.

I do think akme and probably garpax are limited by reinsdorf being a stingy piece of shit. Akme appears aggressive but how aggressive can you be when you have nothing to spend

Garpax was such a low bar but there’s nothing AKME has done that anyone can say they’re better. They’ve been worse ?

Bulls just desperately need a star. I admittedly am a fair weather basketball fan (unlike the Bears). Haven’t watched the Bulls since D Rose.

Not missing anything. I’d label myself a fair weather Bulls fan as well (unlike da Bears)…. I’ve watched maybe 50% of Bulls games since Rose.

They made a fun team but it doesn’t work without Lonzo Ball. Just really sucks he can’t recover, what is wrong with the Bulls Doctors? Worst owner in the nba as well.

He’s a great owner as far as making money. That’s usually most owners priority, not all of course….but as a fan, yes, absolutely awful.
I also think he’s more involved in tactical decisions than a lot of fans realize. Bulls are basically fucked unless they luck into another rose or they get new ownership. Both very unrealistic in the short term

I mean who wouldn’t make money in Chicago? I feel like even the biggest jackasses on this board could make money here.

Lonzo likely was run into the ground by his father and thus is now suffering catastrophic injuries. Nothing the Bulls could do.
As much as everyone dislikes Reinsdorf, there are way worse owners in the NBA than him.

Just noticed they did have a 2nd round pick…and the guy can’t shoot. Should fit in well here then.
