  1. Lose! Don't try to win these last two games now especially if you have something better on the horizon in the draft

  2. We got lucky when Jordan fell to 3rd, we got lucky when our pick became #1 overall in 08 for Rose and got lucky when Justin Fields fell all the way to 11. Please sports Gods do it again for us

  3. Wemby the most overhyped player ever. We don't want a super injury prone player again

  4. Yeah, Brother… rest key guys, let the depth rock for better chance to come out strong in the play in, and playoffs if they make it. The final two games are basically exhibitions now, the improved draft chances are an added bonus.

  5. Players like Wemby are only impactful at the collegiate and lower league levels. In the NBA, he wont even dominate, let alone sustain his play at the highest level due to his built. He can easily be pushed off by defenders, hes not powerful enough to impose himself inside and not fast enough to create his own shot in the perimeter. Yes he can always use his height advantage to shoot over people but hes not Kevin Durant, and wont be able to do that on a consistent basis in NBA level. Look at the other athletic 7 footers in the NBA, none of them are dominating as they should. Height and athleticism alone wont give you the means to dominate the NBA, you also need power, muscle, grit, heart and smarts. Viktor will be an NBA star but he wont be close to becoming a dominant force that other players would fear. His built is more of a liability in the long run .

  6. I would be ecstatic to see the Bulls get a 1-4 pick but I think that begs the question of who are they giving up to retain that player. The Bulls have already headed into a headache this offseason with all the contract discussions. I feel like that would make it harder and the Bulls might have to take 3 steps back after only taking 2 steps forward.

  7. I think the plan has to be lose. But I will go further and say no matter what if we don’t get the first or second pick we move our assets. Zach as the main star isn’t gonna get it done because we can’t build around him. No one in the off season’s free agency is a needle mover. So trade every asset beside the young pieces and play them. Keep Billy only because you are tanking and it won’t matter if he is on the books. Then as soon as you have some key core pieces bring in a coach known for developing young talent. But keeping a young star who isn’t a two way player doesn’t make sense unless you can build around him. We clearly can’t do that at this stage. I hate seeing another rebuild but the Bulls biggest problem is we never see it through. Mostly because we trade good young players for a fringe star, draft terrible young talent, hire bad coaches, or (the most important thing) we don’t develop our young stars. I think this front office thinks that drafting an MJ or an Derrick Rose is how you win. No. You can get lucky like that sometimes but most times you gotta develop guys and sign big free agents that are stars in their prime.

  8. I have never been a fan of tanking. I don't think it will matter too much if they win or lose at this time.

    Playing others besides their big 3 would probably be good. See what others are going to step up and try to win while resting the 3.

    I'll be watching to see what they do.

  9. I’m not a big fan of tanking…If we win these games it can carry some momentum into our play in games but we should rest our big 3

  10. I know I'm alone on this, but if the Bulls don't change HOW they play, no combination of players, and that includes getting a player like Victor Wembanyama, will make much difference! The issue is in the coaching.

  11. Lol…it's too damn late for that now man smh. 1st they shouldn't have signed the beta Zach LaWiner, 2nd they shouldn't have signed Billy to secret contract. 3rd, management should've been able to maneuver around the Reinsdorf's and get start this thing TF over with already. But instead management is expecting us paying die hard fans to accept bologna while being told it's a Tomahawk. We're set in mediocrity now. What a waste

  12. I think the Bulls should try and win these last 2 games I'm not an advocate for tanking and losing even if the Bulls get a top 4 pick but then I wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls lose these last 2 games

  13. Hoping & praying that a team's future relys on a 13.9% chance of landing a Top 4 pick is a sure sign that Bulls' fandom is at an all-time high of DESPERATENESS. Say it with me See Red Nation, "we are giving our 2023 First Riund pick to the Orlando Magic". Now that we got that out the way. Let's go win these two play-in games in Toronto 🦖 and Miami 🌞 !!!!

  14. Im good with them resting the big 3 and letting the young guys play. If the young guys win, im ok with it (actually prefer it). If they lose and our odds improve, im good with that too. I just don't care to see the Big 3 flouder in the last two games. Sit their asses out!

  15. Man I’m glad I stopped watching until the playin after Atlanta. Let it all be worth something 😭😭😭😭

  16. Bulls record doesn’t reflect the talent on the team…. And again if Zo was healthy…. 😢

  17. I don’t know man, I just really hate the idea of “losing” and the pick is inevitably going to Orlando so in this case I’d much rather establish a winning mindset and have the team on a roll going into the play-in game. Zach & DeMar are already listed as out for tonight, which is a good call to get them a breather, but I definitely think it’s best to get the win against Detroit and have everyone playing in order to go into that play-in game with momentum.

  18. It wouldn’t surprise me if all the starters played the whole
    Game.. coaching has been atrocious
