No they wouldn't. The Butler as "best player" model gets you no better than an 8th seed. That is what the history tells us. You are leaving out Thibs as coach also.

Rondo, Harris, Butler, Mirotic, Nurkic is a great starting five. Zero chance they would be an 8 seed.

Point being that Butler as the best player doesn't make anyone an upper echelon team. Not enough of a difference maker to win two consecutive playoff rounds. It is being proven time and time again.

This version of Taj hadn't been consistently seen since 2014.

I never said they'd win the championship. But they could be in the ECF this year, no problem.

Idk about that. Toronto, Boston, and philly are all pretty loaded when fully healthy.

But only Toronto has been fully healthy. This whole thread is based on a pretty hefty set of "ifs." But many of them lined up for the Bulls except for their roster and coaching. HUGE variables, I know, lol, but still... is the roster of LaVine on a max deal, Dunn, Markkanen, Portis and Trae Young better than Butler, Mirotic, Rondo, Harris, Nurkic and Taj?

I don't think so.

Look. The rebuilding has sucked. Pax and the Alien are worthless. Reinny is a crap owner. Otherwise they are a wonderful team.
