[Jackson] Bulls’ roster purge before trade deadline is mystifying, incredibly disappointing
24 comments
Has the media never heard of a tank job. “Trust the Process”
I think people are confusing “mystifying” with “long overdue and subsequently underwhelming.”
BUT WE GOT DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH 😂😂😂
And the part where we already won 24 games before doing this
The fans got exactly what they asked for.
Thinking they’d get anything more than scraps is delusional
So here’s my question to all the “we need to tank and rebuild” fans: would it have been better to make no trades and let White and Ayo walk?
Because that’s the option. You can say “they should have traded these guys in the summer.” Which is valid but meaningless. It’s not the summer; they didn’t trade them, that’s no longer an option. So of the two choices avalable to them was standing pat better than trading a bunch of contracts for SRPs?
How is this incredibly disappointing, this needed to be done.
Free agency for the next two years isn’t very promising. Several fading stars that’ll be chasing their last shot at a ring. What RFAs are the Bulls in play for?
On the bright side, I might get to see ex-Bulls play on televised games now since I refuse to pay for CSN or whatever channel the Bulls are on now.
So many of you are confusing activity with progress. Trading Kennard for Ivey was great. But the rest of those trades are just more failure from an inept front office.
Should’ve just resigned both of them
*This organization is mystifying, incredibly disappointing.
Embarrassing being a Bulls fan. Imagine having an owner where you can say his stupidity forced the greatest basketball player to have played the game INTO RETIREMENT lol shameful
Pathetic excuse for a professional sports organization. Inept management and an owner that needs to sell the team. Until these things happen, Bulls unfortunately continue to be a laughing stock and prime example of how to mismanage an organization from the top down. Bears 🐻 has finally learned this lesson and look what they did in one season.
I’ll continue to say it until I’m blue in the face. Reinsdorf needs to sell the team before there will be any serious or legitimate chance at winning a championship.
There is no desire to sacrifice his riches at this point.
The luck to get Rose and needle in the haystack of Jimmy was the last chance. The success of that era was in spite of the front office, not due to it.
Wouldn’t let my kid by a White Jersey like 4 years ago because it was obvious they’d trade him….
That was the most overwrought word dump I’ve read in a while. Just say the moves were too late and bad and fits everything with the Bulls since 2000.
As long as one of the 2nd round picks gets selected during a Taco Bell commercial we’re fine
Sell the fucking team is the only answer
The problem with the Bulls is a fan base the accepts a .500 team as AOK. The stadium is packed. Why even attempt to get better. I’ve been a Chicago fan for decades. The same holds true for Cubs fans. They got lucky for a couple seasons with young players on realitivly cheap contracts. Paying for superstar players ain’t gonna happen on either side of town as long as there are asses in the seats.
Tanking then getting the 7th pick again because the perpetual misery engine this team creates keeps the sun lit.
We lose all the players and get nothing, meanwhile the thunder lose nothing an get a guy who almost won rookie of the year LAST YEAR.
It is what it is. Everything they do is too late. This should have been done years ago when our players had higher value and we could’ve gotten more. Even just this summer at low value would have given us a shot to actually tank for good chance at #1
Instead we wait til lowest value and we already have 24 wins meaning we’ll need a legendary 2nd half tank to get a great pick
Would any other franchise have held on to Patrick Williams this long? Not any winning franchise. Why is he still on the Bulls?
Everyone cancel your CSNC subscription. Thing that will bother Jerry the most is the loss to his pocket book.
