Bulls Brehs. How do you feel about your team and blowing it up? What’s the point of blowing it up if you don’t get value for your players?

Your parts are amazing but can’t stay over 500. Is it a coaching thing? Too hard to tank now because of your win total. Is Zach a part of the problem or solution? Vuccimane is great offensively but is his defense worth the offense?

If Ball gets your two second rounders, is that worth trading him? He is a winner. I know it’s tough being a bulls fan these last 3 years since Ball got hurt.

most of us are fine blowing it up. we all want zach, vuc, lonzo traded. and are open to moving anyone else on the roster.

if zo yields 2 2nd rounders, that's fine. he can go.

zach should fetch at least 2 1st rounders

and I want vuc moved for a first rounder.

I don’t give af about “draft capital”

Multiple second round picks or protected late 1sts will never be a better player than Zach lavine or the gawd lonzo ball. Lonzo literally makes the bulls better on both ends whenever he’s on the court. let’s trade that for some 55th pick who will be worse than bum ass bronny

The rockets are the blueprint for rebuilding

Got a young core of players, tradable assets sign some vets then compete for years

Amen,green,smith,sengun etc all better than any of these young bums the bulls got

Dumb ass fans want to see these 9 seeds instead of being patient
You can't say this...

...and then say this and not be a hypocrite

Houston has tradeable assets because they stockpiled multiple 1st rounders since moving on from Harden. Last year was the 1st year they added vets. It took them multiple years to get the talent that they have through the draft.

Following the Rockets blueprint goes against what you want. That blueprint involved moving their best player (which you do not want to do) and selling off everything else worth anything. Make it make sense.

I'm fine with keeping and extending Lonzo. He fills the void that Caruso left, and he's a great vet to have with a young squad. If the Bulls can get him on a deal that's 10M a year for the next few years, that would be fine. All depends on if there are other teams that want him and aren't afraid of the injury history. Bulls can give him solid contract that has injury protections and then look to trade him later. His value is going to be high if he stays healthy, but that is a risk you are taking by going that route.

Also, the Bulls losing like 8 of their last 9 puts the tank back into play. Philly is on their heals for the 10th spot, other teams like Portland are also close in the win column. With each day they are in a better position to keep their pick. Will depend on how they manage the schedule/roster down the stretch... shut some key guys down and let the youngins run around is ideal if they can't find a worthy deal for Vuc or Zach.

The rockets tanked and got high picks that’s what I said to do after trading jimmy. Bulls had markannen and Zach to start then completely botched the shyt & had bad luck in the lottery

Second rounders aren’t gonna get you green,smith or amen they were all top 5

I wanted the bulls to tank cuz they had no franchise player couldn’t draw star free agents and don’t have assets to trade for one.then Akme took over and rather be a play in team

If Zach is on board, you do what Dallas did a year before they got to the Finals and "rest" him when necessary to ensure you keep the pick this season. Then hope for the best in the up coming draft to add talent to the roster. Unfortunately, I think the Giddey trade really handcuffs this team moving forward with roster construction.

Bulls keep their pick and more than likely, the best player available will be another guard and they'll be talking about signing Giddey too. Just weird.

I'm still annoyed that they didn't figure out a way to get a 1st for Caruso in last year's draft and took Ware after they selected Matas. The future would be much brighter with Ware also on this roster, but here we are

the bulls aren't re-signing zo, so he needs to go.

and the bulls can't even make the playoffs with zach playing his best bball, so he can go as well.
