I’m Done…



I’m Done…

What’s what’s the word y’all um quick quick video about the deadline okay um I I promise you I’m going to get you a video about the winners and losers of the deadline um shout out to the Mavericks shout out to the Knicks who really dominated the deadline it was a

It was not the best deadline we got spoiled last year and the year before that regardless I I’m going to put together a video talking about all of those things and we’re only two minutes outside the deadline Corey Joe just got traded so we got a few B buzzer beaters

Coming in I just screamed the last two hours of the draft or of the deadline I’m I’m so upset and disappointed about my favorite team and and over the last couple years I’ve been trying to balance the content right I’ve been trying to talk about the league at large and not

Let a bulk of my content be about my favorite team I have to now because this is the second straight deadline with a people up top sat on their hands and did nothing DeMar rosen expiring contract well he had two years left on his deal last year we should have traded him then

I I I love demard de rosen’s G I’m thinking about the grand scheme of this team right anything I say in this video is not a personal attack on these players or their basketball playing ability because these guys demard Rosen isn’t a phenomenal basketball player but I’m thinking about the future of the

Bulls the now of the Bulls in this this team right demard Rosen should have been a guy that’s been trading 34 years old last year of his contract the Bulls offered him an extension a few months ago he didn’t like the number and he still hasn’t been trading so that tells

Me one of two things this offseason he’s going to walk for nothing or we’re going to overpay to keep the Rosen on the team until he’s 37 years old right Alex Caruso is having a phenomenal phenomenal season he’s one of the best defensive players in all of basketball and this

Year he’s actually attempting to score the ball last year he was a super valuable asset to potentially be moved and that was before he was shoo a 40% from three he has this year and next year on this contract personally because I see that this team is destined for

Another 36- 42 wins I am team even though we love Alex kuso and trust me I do that we need to capitalize on the value because Alex guso being on this team in this moment in time is not winning us a playoff series so let’s

Trade him while he’s at the peak of his powers while his Market is at an all-time high do you know how many contenders called about Alis guso to be shut down in the last two weeks we keeping them and the next year I’m just going to assume based on the track record we’re

Gonna keep him then and he’s going to go he’s going to walk for nothing or we’re going to overpay him I’m just I I when this front off this new front office came in guard pack was gone boom I hated having guard PX as my general manager/ basketball operations guy they did a

Bunch of stuff that I hated I dropped a whole Dis Track on on this YouTube channel I think because I wanted them gone and they left and I’m like yes we finally G to have a savior of Chicago it’s Mark everle it’s AR Tunis Carney

Chas they going to come in they going to write the ship boom immediately they trade the vous they trade window Carter the pick that became France Vagner and so on and so forth I in the moment of time enjoyed that trade because it was something that was vich was coming off

An All-Star year I was just excited for that trade we go get demard Rosen love it Lonzo ball love it since then nothing has happened in the 20121 NBA season the 2021 2022 NBA season or maybe my years mixed up the Bulls went into the allstar break with the number one seed in

Basketball Lonzo ball is there the Bulls are hoping demard de R Ro is at an Allstar allba caliber level again everything is great we have Peak Vibes but but under under the hood of this card that is Chicago Bulls you’re like hm this team is 2 and3 against

Teams above 500 should we worry about that n we good The Vibes are great Lonzo ball goes down with his injury and now we fall down and we make the playoffs we lose in the first round next season come around they say hey zo’s going to be

Good we going to run it back and in this moment of time I’m like cool zo is a crucial prior of the team running the back is not a bad idea we run it back and things get dramatically worse Lonzo ball is not coming back it’s now been

Two full seasons two full years since we’ seen Lonzo ball suit up and play basketball um shout out to Lonzo get well soon this team this organization this ownership group and these people in the front office are are hoping to reach Kindle the fire that was 2021

2022 we are two full years away from that that streak where we were good against really bad teams and to see that not even the smallest asset Drummond is a player on this team that has been super valuable I’ve enjoyed Drummond’s time in Chicago Bull I’m

Pretty sure he’s not going to be on the team next year I’m pretty sure that the 76ers that the Warriors that a couple different team teams the Dallas Mavericks before they traded for for uh Gafford were calling about drum and instead of taking these calls and and taking the best trade package

For him he’s going to be on the roster for the rest of the season again it’s not an attack on him because he’s been phenomenal this year but he’s also playing a lot better than the contract that he’s being paid right now so the same thing I said about Demar either

We’re going to overpay him this off season to keep him around or he’s going to walk for nothing these people came into the front office I’m sorry trades are still happen and I assume so I’m just I’m just yeah okay just the last one was a second round pick for Cory Joe

These guys came into the front office and and told us a ball face lie we will not accept mediocrity you will not accept mediocrity okay I love that because the last front office pool was very okay with mediocrity you’re telling me that we won’t accept that love I’m

Here for it in in the last two years what team has been more mediocre than the Chicago Bulls more average than the Chicago Bulls it does not exist and we just walked into another deadline and did nothing the people in the front office have made one trade over the last two seasons one

Trade that’s 30th in the league the 29th team has done seven so there’s a six trade gap between our front office in the second to last front office six trades and and Kenny what is the trade they did they traded two second round picks to get one second round pick

And shout out to Julian Phillips I’ve been enjoying him play but that is the deal that we’ve done like my job is to try to cover this sport in an entertaining man and as objective as possible this team is making me not want to do that the team that that got me into

Loving the game of basketball that it has become my whole career one of the biggest things about who I am as a person is the Chicago Bulls and this team it’s making me not want to do that bro there I went on this a small rent a couple hours ago during the

Deadline about this front office and I feel like a broken record because this video I made four or five years ago about the previous regime the previous regime is better than these guys better the one thing about the previous regime even though they also were okay with mediocrity at least they drafted

Well at least they brought in Jimmy Butler with the 30th overall pick at least they found Bobby poris and in the end of the first round at least they found this guy that guy they did things well this team a these guys have not drafted well they have not put together really good

Trades the two good things that this front office has done is get Alex Caruso away from the Lakers beautiful beautiful thing Alex gusso again is a stud one of the best defensive players of basketball one of the most valuable pieces that was potentially being moved and he wasn’t

Moved they get that all of the credit the second thing was bringing in Lonzo ball right these dudes she they they got caught cheating to do that so you got two really good moves two really good moves in one of them the NBA told you you did illegally in four

Years Kobe white is in running for most improved player he’s been killing the game that’s not their pickup they extended him that’s not their pickup think about that and and and it all starts from up top this ownership group does not care they and and people keep tweeting

At me Kenny the Bulls are top three in attendance where y’all need to boycott and maybe that’ll do something bro that doesn’t matter you want to know why because the year that the Bulls were 22 and 60 we were top during the tennis then they’re not keeping this mediocre

Team together to sell tickets because it doesn’t it doesn’t matter what product they put on the court US Bulls fans we ride for our team we’re one of the biggest markets in the in the world so whether the team is winning seven games or seven games the United Center is

Going to be packed I was a season ticket holder the year they won 22 out of 82 games I drove 40 minutes to United Center doing a [ __ ] blizzard because I love the Bulls so the people that saying oh they’re being mediocre to sell tickets they’re going to sell tickets regardless

So what is the other reason to be mediocre other than the front office is afraid to look like jackasses again and guess what they have you still look like it every other person person in the NBA world is looking at the Bulls like what are they doing what are they doing

This I don’t understand it the first game of the NBA season happened and the team had a players only meeting that was the moment in time where you should have been like all right these next three months we’re going to evaluate our talent and figure out who we want to build

With that was what I convinced myself you are doing no no they want they want to be Danny a without putting in the work to be Danny a you have to accept the fact that the some of the trades you’re going to do you’re going to walk out as losers in

The moment they want to trade all of their assets for seven first round picks plus three competent players that’s not the reality of the league bro it’s just not these two dudes Tim Connelly drafted niic and aruni Carney sis was there and now he runs my favorite

Team I I’m I’m I’m about to go upstairs shower I’m taking a trip to Milwaukee I’m going to watch Bucks versus timberwol today and I’m not even gonna think about the Bulls for the rest of the night but I had to get out this video and there’s a lot that I ain’t

Even say it but I had to get out this video back to the normal schedule stuff starting tomorrow where we talk about the Knicks we talk about the Mavericks and we talk about some of the real people that made real moves I appreciate you for watching

  1. I'm with you Kenny, as bulls fans we have really been put through the ringer bro. Since 21 there have been so many disappointments. I wish I had answers that would make it better. But we can make something out of this team one day. I hope the FO wises up and makes some trades, but we can do something…I freaking hope.

  2. Dallas/Knicks went insane during the deadline. Both teams literally added everything they needed. Knicks got bench scoring and a large scoring wing. Dallas turned grant Williams into two better players with pj wash and Daniel gafford, finally rostering two real centers with lively. Real gms

  3. Don't know when was the last time the Bulls made some sort of a gamble trade on a young prospect… Probably never in my lifetime… DeRozan was a desperation signing because they had superstar level money they needed to give to somebody, but anyone that knows ball understood DeRozan was not good enough to be the best player on a team with serious aspirations to compete for a deep Playoff run, let alone a title… Vucevic, more of the same, but even worse… A flawed mediocre player that was overrated based on putting up some fancy numbers on some bad Orlando Magic teams… Before that it was D-Wade and Rondo, two washed up players nobody though can actually help Jimmy do anything but the nameplates looked fancy enough to give some hope… Pau Gasol, ditto… If they hadn't lucked into drafting D-Rose and getting Thibs/Noah to anchor an elite defense, they'd probably had 0 relevant years since their last championship in 1998 until today, 2024… That's over 25 years of the FO not making any sort of trades for any franchise level player, franchise level prospect, or core of all-star players that would be able to compete past the 1st round in the Playoffs, in mostly the weaker of the two conferences as well…Also they keep giving away good players for nothing… They gave Markannen away for nothing. They gave Gafford away for Thies just to move him soon after. They gave a 22-year old Wendell Carter Jr. away for overrated Vucevic…

  4. Realistically what contender who had the money actually wanted DeRozan, great player but there was reasons why the market was dry this year, (ffs not even 1st rounders were available), and why a lot of the deals made were smaller ones at that. Even if a deal got done for the sake of getting it done, it likely would’ve been so underwhelming fans would’ve been even more disappointed than they are over him not being dealt.

  5. as a man living in michigan (not a pistons fan, but my friends are), i feel the struggle of "Please do SOMETHING!"

  6. What are you talking about they've done nothing good what about drafting ayo pat williams sign in coby to that absurdly low contract shut the duck up and stop crying you guys sound like a bunch of itches they've been fine they just don't make a lot of Trades signing lonso is the worst thing they did the dude doesn't play

  7. What should the bulls do with the blazers lottery protected pick cuz it’s putting my blazers in a choke hold on really sending any firsts anywhere not saying we have to but the community is mad at Cronin when he can’t really make any valuable moves at the deadline like we couldn’t sent brog or JG but I think their value as veterans is important in these young guys if you read this for the second half of the season you should make a pod episode or kenny for real on what every lottery team should looking forward (start with pistons so that when you get to 10-14 in the lottery it’s closer to playoffs time)

  8. as a hawks fan, i get what you’re saying about just sitting around and being content with mediocrity, all the rumours about blowing it up and building around trae and jalen yet we don’t change a single thing 🤦‍♂️

  9. As long as the Reinsdorfs own the team, it will always be the same. I checked out on loving the bulls after they blew Jimmy Butler, but I am a bit older than you. The Bulls remain one of the most profitable teams in sports without putting any work in. And since Jordan, the Bulls have had one contender. Had they not gotten lucky with 9->1 we would be thinking back to Deng, Gordon, and Noc. This is because Reinsdorf is unwilling to spend substantial money.

  10. The fact that y'all are 3rd in attendance and this mediocre for this long is exactly why you should boycott. Because the owners group knows they can rely on you guys. Maybe don't ride or die when they aren't doing the same for you guys

  11. Sorry bro, I knew what this and most other franchises were all about in the Jordan era. That's why I don't root for laundry anymore and just love great basketball no matter what colors they wearing. I'm too old to get that passionate about a company that couldn't give two squats about me or people like me.

    Just enjoy basketball my man. Drop the laundry and embrace the people because these companies don't and never will care about anything but their bottom line.

  12. the thing that hurts the most is that kenny knows hes screaming into the wind. Reinsdorf ain't gonna do shit until his greedy ass dies so theres not even a point to any of this. Being an adult sucks

  13. Kenny, from one Chicago native to another. It's not worth it. GarPax ruined my Bulls back in 2017. And it hasn't been the same since. I gave up on them. Not persuading you to give up on the team, but just giving insight on what the Bulls organization can do to their fans.

  14. As a Heat fan, I refuse to let you get away with the propaganda that we’re somehow a team that’s made 6+ trades in the last 2 years. Not at all lmao

  15. Sounds like the redsox. We are always one of the top teams with the highest attendance but our ownership doesnt wanna spend money.
