[Gottlieb] Source: The Bulls passed on multiple offers to trade Alex Caruso for multiple picks, including one in the top 10 of the 2024 draft The reason? A mandate from ownership at the trade deadline to push for the playoffs

    And Bulls led the league in avg home attendance. Jerry just cares about short-term money.

  2. AllTimeBallKnower

    I’d give my left nut to have him on the bucks

    That’s a pretty good trade

  3. WallStreetDoesntBet

    Bulls had so many injuries, Caruso played well especially on the defensive side of the court

  4. legend023

    Honestly the 2024 draft is awful

    Caruso is such a good role player I think you can swindle 2 first rounders from a contender for him

    >including one in the top 10 of the 2024 draft

    I would say no to that

    What a 2024 for the Reinsdorfs. Tried to go all in with the Bulls and missed the playoffs. Then claimed to want to win with the White Sox and built the worst team in the league with no chance at a high pick.

    The positive is people are starting to realize how big of losers they are.

    The bulls have now firmly taken the “most mid team” award from the wizards.

  8. kantariat

    Fuck Jerry Reinsdorf. All my homies hate Jerry Reinsdorf

  9. IMovedYourCheese

    Caruso for a #10 pick is a shit offer lol.

  10. It’s hindsight but Caruso might’ve cost himself tens of millions by getting that extra year on his contract. He would’ve been one of the hottest free agents in this class.

    always funny to see a hundred year old zillionaire pinch pennies. gotta save up for a sick mansion in hell

  12. AdVegetable9992

    Also they didn’t trade drummond to get some pick and he might leave the bulls

    Ownership fucks up a team far more than a GM these days.

  14. 90% of ppl going “This a shitty draft” has not watched a single college game. Sheep following the media heads

  15. CarcosaBound

    Jerry Reinsdorf owned teams are the bane of my existence right now. Without MJ we’d be a bottom 3 nba franchise of all-time. Don’t get me started on the White Sox…

    How does the head coach of Wisconsin-GB know this

  17. TechnicalSample4678

    Run it back for another 42-40 season.

    Chicago Bulls – Back to Back Play-in Tournament participants!

  19. juicewar01

    I mean.. its tough if they themselves dont know they rebuilding

  20. *checks results* play in exit for the 2nd consecutive season? This is them trying?

  21. InsideHangar18

    This shit right here is why I always get annoyed when people are like “nah your ownership isn’t telling your GM to do nothing, they’re just bad” when Reinsdorf telling the FO to do nothing is precisely what’s happening.

    This is why I hate espn coverage (and don’t watch it). You can’t be the biggest network in sports without being connected to the teams owners(which means you have to cover them favorably or they’ll throw tantrums), and you can’t explain why certain teams are fucking awful without talking about their owners.

    Chicago will be a 9-10 play-in team until they draft some unfortunate young man whose career they’ll rob the first 6 years of (they’ll make the team halfway decent for the 7th year so he will re-sign, and then they’ll go right back to being ass).

  23. Triple-Star-Hunter

    What exactly is the end goal of this team?

  24. ClaymoresRevenge

    If it was move up to the top 3 we should’ve taken it

  25. 2020IsANightmare

    The source?

    Great question. I believe….every fucking body that follows the league?!?

  26. BassGuru82

    Bulls totally happy being the 20th best team in the league.
