Arturas Karnisovas during Media Day preached growth, building while competing, stressing patience and that he and the organization can't skip steps as it hopes to build this core into a consistent winner.
The Bulls have the tied for 7th youngest roster in the league and once Vuc is off the roster that number will drop further. This season will go a long way in telling us who'll be part of the next iteration, hopefully, of a contending Bulls squad. Outside of Matas, Essengue, probably Giddey, everyone else on this team is likely playing for their future in Chicago or can be moved in the right deal.
The tone has shifted since the deadline last year and especially this offseason…less talk about the play-in, more emphasis on growth. They wanna compete and win while growing and developing but that no longer appears to be what will define success this season to the organization, which is for the best. If they do win, it means the rebuild is trending in the right direction, if it's being led by the younger guys or a Coby.

They don’t actually have a goal because if it was playoffs they would had added talent this offseason or attempted to (not even one trade rumor). And if they want to focus on development they should have traded Vuc for seconds, trade Coby for a young piece and a pick, cut Carter or buy him out and truly develop all while losing games because if they land a top 3 pick that player automatically becomes the face of the franchise and it’s best asset and the true hope for this fan base (Matas would be his sidekick and we’d ALL be United in actual hope)
“Stressing patience” while the team is in the exact same place they were 5 years ago when he took over with a stagnant trajectory after a whopping 1 playoff appearance and a single win. Okay pal 👌
I’m so tired of this franchise.
Fuck AKME and fuck mediocrity-loving Reinsdorf.
🎶Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you 🎶
Another bulls play in appearance in the 9/10 spot is loading lol
Trash organization is trash.
😂😂😂
Yeah 10 of development
FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT INFORMED MARC EVANS WANTS US TO BE A RUN N GUN STYLE TEAM. HE SAID BILLY IS THE HEAD OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT.
WE NOW HAVE A DIRECTION AND KNOW WHO TO POINT THE FINGER AT GOING FORWARD IF THIS SHIT DONT WORK!
Development for WHAT? Other teams?? Surely ain’t for our long term. It’s all we seem to do, give young bucks their chance to be noticed & traded for & then go on do to great things.
A whole bunch of nothing again from AK, and Jerry actually extended the man.
stressing patience is all you can do when you are going to be stuck in the exact same place you’ve been for the last several years and likely will be for the next several 🤡
It’s not probable, but there is a glimmer of hope with this team. It’s not inconceivable that Giddey and Coby play at All-Star or near All-Star levels and Buzelis continues his improvement. If so, there could be opportunities to improve the team at the deadline or next off-season. I choose to be optimistic even though it’s also possible that things could fall apart again.
Does this mean that they will be charging “development “prices to stream games?
What a damn shame. Starts at the top. Everyone knows it. Worst owner in the league. Now has lil Jr running the team. A nightmare that will never end. Canceled my league pass, didn’t watch a game last year, won’t watch once this year either and it bums me out. Life is better with a good Bulls team to cheer. Jerry and Jr – go walk in the Lake.
