I stated facts not opinions :umad:

Duarte got you more picks than Giddey and shoots better.

There's gonna be one night where he goes off and scores 30 (and I mean it, just one night, but imma be here when it happens)

I'm done with the tanking shyt. Wake me up when we finally get lucky in it. Spent years watching teams with better records than ours get higher picks than us. I'm tired of the draft crap shoot.

It's why I don't care about some draft compensation in this DeRozan trade. All I see is guys who will get drafted and sent to the windy city bulls. Give me a proven commodity.

this.

Are we officially the worst team in the east?
No. Unless the Bulls have significant injuries, I don't see teams like Washington, Detroit, Brooklyn being better.

Charlotte, Toronto and Atlanta could finish higher in the standings. But are those teams clearly better than Chicago? I don't know. I think they'll be in the same tier and be in the 30-35 win area.

The Bulls defense has to be WOAT status for them to be the worst team in the East IMO

Who knows what happens with the remaining vets on the roster, but looking at how this team is currently constructed, they have a more positional size and versatility...shooting is mid overall. Defense will be bad with the starting unit. Overall pace and style of play however should improve.

At this point, AK needs to move off Vuc and Zach to make sure they miss the Play-In. The argument for keeping Zach to rehab his value before the deadline makes more sense if you own your pick. Since they don't it's more complicated.

Is holding on to Zach for however long this season worth potentially losing your 1st in the 2025 draft?

Washington and Brooklyn maybe. Detroit has better upside. I think last year was a combination of extremely young players and Monty Williams being a fukking moron. Last three teams are clearly better. I just can’t see a team with Pat Williams being the #1 option being anything more than 14 seed

:comeon:

LaVine is still on the roster, Vuc as well.

Regardless of what happens with them, Coby White is going to be the #1 option. Giddey isn't a bum either. You're trolling
