"Ayo I want to put the Paws on em"...- The Chicago Bulls 2022-23 Season thread.

I can be sold on Russ, mostly for fukkery purposes, but Wall is done.

there aren't many PG options for a team without cap space that refuses to trade any assets

aren't the worse teams eligible for buyout candidates before the good teams? that'd mean the bulls would have the first crack at before the clippers could.

Thankfully Reinsdorf is too cheap to pick him up off waivers which would mean paying the rest of his full contract

the jazz are gonna buy him out for the majority of what he's owed. it wouldn't really cost the bulls shyt to get him for the remainder of the season.

Called this as soon as kyrie was traded. Wonder why a deal didn't go through

Chicago had to initiate this call right?

You’re conflating two different kinds of transactions … if the Jazz “buy out” Russ that means he becomes an unrestricted free agent immediately and is free to sign anywhere (no bulls priority) as his current contract would be dissolved but that usually only happens when the player is willing to take a reduction from the amount left on his contract … if he decides not to do that for the Jazz he will be “cut” or “waived” which puts him and the remainder of his contract into waivers where a team can make a claim for him ..but the team that claims him has to pay the rest of the money owed in his deal …this is why most waived players will always clear waivers with no bids because at that point they become unrestricted free agents and the new team isn’t responsible for the old contract

The old GarPax damage control press conference/sports talk radio phone call. We used to get these around Christmas, the trade deadline and the end of the season

My guess is the Bulls explore the buyout market?

we should be used to it. this is what the bulls did for the entirety of the garpax era during the trade deadline.

yeah, usually that's when they'd be firing a head coach.
