Stacey really just be saying anything.

Talking about the Suns struggle because they don't have a true PG, like they didn't get Jones in the off-season.

:smh:

30th ranked front office according to cbs:

nba-front-office-rankings-celtics-okc-at-the-top-mavericks-sink-after-luka-trade-but-theyre-not-no-30

30. Chicago Bulls

The Kings aspire to 46 or 47 wins. The Bulls seemingly aspire to 36 or 37. They very nearly occupied their own tier on this list and were an obvious choice for No. 30. To understand why, let's briefly go through some of the bullet points we covered up top to show all of the ways this organization is failing:

  • Does the GM have a track record? No. The Bulls haven't won a playoff series under Arturas Karnisovas.
  • Does the GM have a plan? It certainly doesn't seem like it. Karnisovas argued in a recent press conference that teams can win championships with nine or 10 very good players rather than two or three superstars. Aside from being mostly untrue historically, it is worth pointing out here that the Bulls do not have nine or 10 very good players, nor are they especially close to reaching that number.
  • Does the front tend to make good trades? Well, they managed to trade Alex Caruso to Oklahoma City without getting a single first-round pick back, they basically kickstarted the Orlando rebuild with the Nikola Vucevic trade, and they recently gave away their best player in LaVine to regain control of a first-round pick that was already top-8 protected and therefore eminently keepable if they had been willing to tank for it properly. So I'm gonna go ahead and say no.
  • Does the front office tend to sign good contracts? Patrick Williams is averaging 9.1 points per game on a $90 million deal right now, so this isn't looking great either.
  • Is ownership willing to spend enough to win? Despite operating in the NBA's third-biggest market, the Bulls have paid the luxury tax only twice. Only six teams have spent less in total tax dollars, according to Spotrac.
Nico Harrison at least built a Finals team last season. Matt Ishbia deserves credit for his willingness to spend. The Kings have pathways to at least being reasonably competitive. But there's just no argument whatsoever in favor of how the Bulls operate beyond consistently maximizing revenue and minimizing costs.
