We’ll get a solid player hopefully but who gives a shit. Otto and Lauri will lead us to a championship within the next few years.

Year 3 Lauri is gonna be a treat to watch. If he doesn’t get hurt he’s gonna lay waste to the East with giannis standing as his only worthy adversary.

Otto’s a great Pippen for Lauri.

Watch out world.

I hope you are right and like the optimism.

I would still feel a lot better with a top 2 draft pick and a coach that isn't a dipstick.

I really thought Otto was just a good 3 and D guy. Danny Green type. He’s awesome. The Wizards are even more poorly coached and managed than us

Lauri becoming a plus defender is a real surprise too.

This team is gonna murder everyone except for the Bucks in the East next year. Can’t wait.

This team is looking up , except Kris Dunn..man he fucking sucks

Yeah I was hoping for a Jrue Holiday type. He’s a solid 8th man going forward.

Lauri’s gonna be so fucking good too. I’m shocked I’m saying this but I’m looking forward to next year regardless of the draft. I don’t even mind Boylen! He’s a fucking clown to be sure but he has them playing hard on both ends. Fred could never get them to do that for 10 games straight and he had 3 years.

You should probably sleep on that.

Yeah that is kind of why I asked a few days ago if maybe we had missed something with him....they do seem to play hard for him.

I’ve watched maybe 20min of Bulls basketball this year.

Please stop using that as your go to when debating basketball. You know I’ve watched enough basketball to merit an opinion.

Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t care how much basketball we’ve watched as long as the United Center is packed.

Nah they will be good. If they can replace guys like Archie and TLC or whatever his name with actual NBA players they’ll be a 45+ win team next year, health willing.

Can we add an entire thread into the Cold Take thread?

I believe you’ve watched enough basketball to merit an opinion on players you’ve seen play basketball. If you’ve watched 20 minutes of Bulls basketball this year I don’t believe your opinion of how good they might be next year deserves merit. Is that not fair?

We can.

But you gotta throw skin in the game.

I got them at 43-39 next year and I’m being conservative. You gotta give your specific record take too for future Cold Take purposes.

The Bulls are a bad young team playing better the last quarter of the season. Did I get it right?

They are still fucking themselves out of a damn STUD.

You did not get it right.

They have a fucking STUD. His name is Lauri Markkanen.

Coachable group of guys too. Proved enough to show they were better and clearly took a management directed dive in the 4th.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Get the Bulls a solid point guard and a couple solid bench players and they will be a solid team.
