Any semblance of confidence Pat had in himself is gone. This dude is broken and Billy can't justify playing him over Julian, Matas, THT, Ayo, Jalen Smith or Torrey Craig.

Perfect player for tanking tho.

16 minutes tonight, only a matter of time before he's bushed. The only reason he'll be in the rotation is because he's making 18M a year

Only guy I'd be salty over if they traded would be Matas. Phillips to a lesser extent.

They'll need to include picks to move him imo

a team that sees his upside would happily give up an aging vet along with a second rounder since his contract isn't ridiculous.
Not at 18M a year over the next 4 years with a Players Option. The upside argument is kinda cooked.

The Bulls valued this dude so much over his tenure that it's been reported multiple times that he was not available in any trade discussions. It really makes no sense to trade him now, because he looks awful. The time to trade him was when you still had the idea that he would do more with more usage...but he was always hurt right shortly after he actually plays well.

Instead of trading him, they need to stop gifting him minutes and make him earn everything from here on out. Let's see if he's content with not playing at all and getting benched for not performing.

16 minutes last game vs the Hornets kinda implies Billy is on the verge of bushing him out of the rotation

Matas leading this team in blocks in the limited minutes he gets is quite impressive

It's ridiculous that he's been glued to the bench for the most part seeing how this team looks on any given night.

this front office couldn’t even lose games properly this season. there is absolutely no excuses they weren’t put into a better position to be around the bottom 5.

your pick is top ten protected in a loaded draft. the ceiling of this team is play in. what are they doing?
