I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

Thibs is a top 4 coach, IMO, along with Doc, Pop, and Carlisle. But I think people are misguided if they think Chicago will become SA North. Forgetting that SA is one of the most unique teams in the history of modern sports, Pop and Thibs couldn't be more different. Can you honestly picture a Thibs team that doesn't have a player average 30 mpg?

I do. I think they're both a little off but what would unite them is their desire to win. I would also expect a 23 year old to mature.

that's a bit of a leap of faith. i don't think it would've worked out that great. but the quest for the bulls getting a pure SG continues...

It never made sense how people said GarPax did "everything they could" when they couldn't even offer as much money as other teams. Obviously, the current team can always offer more but they couldn't even offer Carmelo as much as the Lakers or Rockets.

The Bulls are trying to get Marion. I'm not sure where he will play. Besides I thought he would park himself in Atlanta for the rest of his career.

Doesn't he pretty much just shoot a lot of 3's now? Is that still a glaring need?

The Bulls are acquiring pieces like they expect to make a big trade at some point.

The Bulls should be in rebuilding mode, particularly if you consider the current landscape in the Eastern Conference. LeBron James has a handful of years left, and a full rebuild starting now — if pulled off properly (a big if with this front office) — should be hitting its stride as James is waving goodbye to a historic career. To understand why the Bulls are taking calls on Butler rather than making them, one must first understand Bulls logic.

According to a source, board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has been hands-off this season as the transfer of power to Michael Reinsdorf continues. The source said that Jerry Reinsdorf only is being used as an advisor on major decisions, and even then, he wants his son to have the final say.

That’s why Gar Forman isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Michael Reinsdorf is reportedly just fine with the direction on the court.

Off the court, the general manager’s wife, Leslie, is the vice president of Bulls Charities, while Michael Reinsdorf’s wife, Nancy, is the president of Bulls Charities. The wives are close, and as the Sun-Times reported last May, their relationship has rubbed some former players the wrong way.

The feeling was that Forman preached accountability, but his job security was as safe as any figure in the organization not named Reinsdorf or John Paxson.

Michael Reinsdorf’s emergence as the face atop the organization brings a different set of priorities.

Former and current Bulls personnel believe that Michael Reins-dorf is a business-first owner and he measures success by the team’s profitability and marketability.

Winning championships is a priority but takes a back seat to the financial bottom line. That’s why the decision-making has been so questionable the last three years.

First, coach Tom Thibodeau was fired. That might have been the last major decision that Jerry Reinsdorf was involved in.

Then the blame shifted to the roster. Derrick Rose was traded and Joakim Noah was allowed to walk via free agency.

The Sun-Times reported that multiple sources indicated that the anger expressed by several corporate sponsors went a long way in the Bulls staying away from a full rebuild in the offseason, leading to the Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade signings, despite neither being a fit for what coach Fred Hoiberg likes to do offensively.

Then again, the front office seldom seems to care about what their own coaches want or don’t want.

That has been evident in Hoiberg’s tenure, and was very obvious under Thibodeau when they first dismantled the “Bench Mob,’’ trading Luol Deng without consulting Thibodeau, and drafting offensive-minded players for a defensive-minded coach.

Logic be damned.

That’s why the trade deadline Thurday might come and go without a major move.

This is about staying playoff relevant, hoping more big names can be persuaded to join in the offseason, thereby keeping butts in the seats and big money in the suites.

Bulls logic.

So I take it we are spitting fire cause the Bulls didn't trade for soft ass Jahil Okafor?

Butler to Boston.

Butler to Boston.

Yup. We are spitting fire because the Bulls are refusing to dump their best player and one of the best players in the league for next to nothing.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

Lakers are shopping Nick Young for a 2nd round pick. Pull the trigger GarPax! Might be the final piece of the puzzle.

What do people pretend that Gar does anything? You know somebody high up in reinsdorf, Inc. got a hold of Bernstein like "KNOCK OFF THAT GARPAX SHIT!!" for whatever deal it was a few years ago that had Dan boldly decreeing "THIS IS A GAR FORMAN JOINT!!!" for the trade/signing/whatever.

IMO, gar was always a figurehead GM there to deal with the media so "real GM" John Paxson didn't have to (unless somebody here knows that Pax managed to pull a Kenny and fail his way upstairs over the years? #GetHimUpstairsAndGetHimOutOfHere!

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!
