@Morethan1 derozan is not the biggest i issue,

Donovan is.. Move this Bum on.. And while our roster isnt perfect.. with the right voice x system.. We aint performin like this.. Especially in a back 2 back

Outside of totally being out coached.. If u kant get a team motivated after losin the first game, to show up in front of its home krowd for some get back, in the next game there is a SERIOUS issue..

If Donavan the issue, which he might be, what does that tell you about AKME?

If any bulls fan wanna place blame it starts at the top?

They haven't had a good regime

Seen enough. While there are a lot of things that need fixing, what makes this team most frustrating is they have areas where they perform like an elite team for 24 minutes...but it is completely undone by the rest of the game's foolishness. I am not for blowing it up, but if we are establishing a certain brand of basketball, one person needs to go: Demar Derozan. At this rate his value won't be any higher and maybe we end up with a reasonable low-end floor general who looks to pass first. Let everybody fukk up and learn how to play in a system and see how Lavine responds. If he pouts, he might have to go, but at this rate I am willing to see them fully go into making Pat the 2nd option and having trial by fire. We don't own our first pick so blowing it all up isn't smart, but we have Billy long term and some good pieces but the chemistry is gone. Admit some shyt doesn't work and focus on the core. Hint: none of the 30+ year old players were the long term options. They were merely brought in to show Zach that the FO was serious about making moves to be competitive. We saw they will do it, now tell his ass to play better and dont pout as they pivot from what they thought would be good.
I still don't really know what this system looks like that you speak of... and Donovan has been here 3 years.

Team had the most success by riding the ISO talents of DeMar DeRozan. His previous teams were lead by other elite HoF level scorers/isolation players too. I've said it before, but the most disappointing news for me was finding out Billy was extended, cause even if they do shake shyt up, the team still will be lead by a guy that really leaves a lot desired.

@Morethan1 u aint wrong thats on AKME.. The extension is the most puzzling part

Surely they aint blind and see there is a disconnect between the talent and how they are performing under his leadership and lack of coaching

You post them shyts but lets be real: What do we have with Pat? Is this guy a potential centerpiece or a role player who can slay bums like Minny's B squad last year? He was putting up 20 in the playoffs even though we lost. Either we use him or we trade him and get pissed off when he blossoms elsewhere.

I never mentioned a system, and Iso works but not with this group. I do know they want more ball movement but lets just admit that it doesn't work when one of our players comes in and sucks the air out to get his contested shot off. How do we win games if the other team sprints into transition 3s and Demar dribbles 4 times, screams "AYYYYYYEEEE" and doesn't get the call, then they run back and shoot another 3 or get an easy dunk? Demar last year was lights out. This year is is merely very good. It masked a bunch of weaknesses last year but this year the team isn't clicking for some reason even though our defense becomes elite in the 2nd half. Our offense has been shyt and never really got to shape up even last year after Zo went down. We normally have the potential for ball movement, cuts, Vooch down low, or a 43% shooter at 7 attempts a game with Zo, as well as transition laser beams from Zo that encourage transition play. This year our ball movement comes and goes (come back from a big deficit, blow it on dumb Zach 3s and Demar pumpfakes to foul baits). Alternatively, we move the ball but get it turned over too much. Tonight at one point we were shooting 58% to NYs 44% and were losing by double digits. On nights where Vooch is cooking in the post, we don't ride him to 20-25 points. He gets his 12-15 and then give it to Zach or Demar and push him to the perimeter. We lost Zo and his 3s so now we have to live with AC, Javonte, and DJJ taking those.

Anyway imma stop cause I can literally keep typing, but Demar is good AND needs to go. Our team is better off figuring out how to get production from everyone and taking our losses while building better habits. No one on this team can individually make up the 25-35+ points Demar is usually good for but for the teams future, we either show we are about modern basketball or we aren't. Demar isn't KD or Kawhi so he isn't going to pull us like other iso gods do.

Chicago, The 100's
It's arguable but top 6 roster most def

Bucks
Cavs
Celtics
Nets
Sixers

We got more talent than the Hawks, Knicks, and Heat who all top 8. They all have more superior coaching as well

Donovan belong in college he gets exposed on a nightly basis
