Like I always say, I sometimes feel like the organisation made a deal with the basketball gods so we could have the MJ era. Traded for a future of mediocrity š

Worst part is there’s no real end in sight. I have such little faith in this franchise to build a winner. We would legit need a consistently healthy superstar to carry this franchise.

I completely agree. Itās like people werenāt around for the tanking years because this shit is so much fucking worse. We used to have fun around here.

Iāve been watching this fucking awful franchise since 2002.
Itās jerry. Heās the problem. Until the bulls are sold off to an owner Who gives a shit, itās going to be more of the same

The front office only gets away with it because the UC is packed. If people stop going to games they’ll have to make changes. Remember, the Reinsdorfs have only fired gm’s when the Bulls are not in the top 5 in attendance. If you refuse to watch this garbage in person they’ll change it.

This year is bad but Iām sorry the last two were pretty fun.

After we traded Jimmy at least I got to watch young players developed when we lost.
Now we just suck

Same song and dance for almost a year now

Did he forget the egghead years?

Yeah, the only ones of us left are the ones who really give a shit and it sucks.

Iām so tired of this mediocrity every year. Iāve been paying for league pass for the past 15 seasons and outside a few seasons where we had prime Rose, itās been wasted money lining Reinsdorfās pockets.
If we sign someone with talent, they either end up not fitting well with the team or theyāre past their prime. If we draft a player with potential we canāt develop them and give them away for peanuts just to watch them blossom elsewhere. At some point I think we just need to stop supporting a team for what they were 30 years ago and spend our hard-earned money elsewhere.

After the joke of the all star 2020 in chicago , i guess Jerry wanted a good team as soon as possible.
The vooch trade was a fucking joke. A waste of assets that setback this franchise.

We are so close – just need a change in ownership, front office, coaching, and personnel.

Donāt worry, this is the year LaVine plays defense, P Will will become an All Star and weāll make a trade to make us true contenders!

Good news is that we will never have that until we get new people in the office

The one thing I don’t get out of all of this is why people don’t like AKME. I get not liking Billy. I understand the people calling Pat a bust or shitting on DeMar for playing real basketball rather than acting like he’s a circus performer shooting it from half-court, and even I get being pissed at Zach for making the wrong pass at the wrong time in every key possession. I don’t get what AKME was supposed to do here.
They were hired *specifically* to turn the team around right away. Not in four seasons using Lauri and WCJ as key development pieces, not by trading Zach for picks and restarting the rebuild. The fans literally bought a billboard demanding the last guys get fired because the rebuild was taking too long and it was the first time in 20 years that the Bulls weren’t selling out crowds.
They were clearly told to build around Zach, get some stars, and make the team into at least a playoff team. On paper, this team should be that. Every move has been about being that. Has it worked? Obviously not. But that’s the marching orders the general gave them so they have no choice.
People seem pissed that AK’s press conferences are him talking about continuity and improvement, but what the fuck do you expect him to say? “Yeah this team sucks and we know it, so we’re going to try to ride this out to mid-year and start the fire sale”? You do realize he’s not allowed to say that and keep his job right? It’d be like an actor doing a Michael Bay moving going on the Late Show and saying “This movie is dog shit and I’m ashamed I was in it, but the check cleared so I had to show up”.
Press conferences are not about the team openly and honestly talking about the issues and discussing their ideas to the public. They’re basically wrestling promos where the goal is to hype up the fans and drive interest in viewership.

Dude this aināt even the bottom 3rd of the barrel that was the last 10years. How quickly people forget.

I just don’t know what they expected. At least the White Sox made the playoffs twice and won their division once. Their roster proved they could win something. This Bulls team has proven its at best a play-in team that isn’t actually competing for a title.
I like the guys on the squad, but its obvious they really needed to mix up the roster this year and they chose to run the same team back.
