Leading With Black Love - The Chicago Bulls 2025-26 Off-Season Thread

Next year, the key will be to develop his midrange game

billy REFUSES to allow him to shoot those, which is why you never see him taking them. also, here we go again with matas being benched in the 4th quarter cuz billy being petty. despite matas being on a hot scoring streak to boot the last 5 or so games.

Vuc has a few game winners this year.

Can’t wait for that game winner in April that locks us into the 12th pick in the draft

Young players not being helped by the incompetence leading this organization

we are literally doing the same stupid shyt yet again. still in the #10 seed, and still winning like 45% of our games. just lost to the rockets. will probably beat the jazz tonight. and we still don't have goto player or anyone resembling a star yet. so what is the fukking point of this shyt?

even if giddey wasn't hurt, I'm convinced he'd be putting up all star numbers while we still have a similar record.

we have too many dudes who have been on this team for years at this point with nothing to show for it:

Vuc-6 years
coby-7 years
ayo-5 years
dalen-4 years
p-will-6 years

you cannot retain all these players for this long of a time with only 1 playoff win and 3 play in appearances to show for it

make a fukking roster move for fukk's sake

The team has made roster moves. They have moved Caruso, Derozan, lavine and lonzo. Okoro has been ok at least on defense and giddy has been a good return. The issues are at the top. We as fans get caught up every year talking the same deadline trades and "proper tanking" talk. What good is any of that if the coach stays leading the group and the front office isnt held responsible for its failures? We will just have a new crop of players remaining mediocre like we are now. This is basically a new team your going to have a few hold overs , but it looks the same up and downs.

case in point is matas being benched in the 4th last night, while vuc gets unlimited minutes no matter how good or poorly he plays.

He deserves better.

 

[dizzy4111]

He deserves better.

He's like Luol Deng in that I want him to be a Bull for life like I hoped for Lu, but yeah, he's way too good now to be wasting time here. He can have a Caruso-like impact somewhere else for a contender

 

[jerniebert]

No takers.

bulls doing what they do best. selling nostalgia.

 

[beenz]

No takers.

this dude is shooting like 37% from the field this season. he might be the worst player on the roster.

Great sequence by Ayo. Gets a layup and looked like he was fouled. Loses his shoe on the play. Nets play 4 on 5 and the defense hold. Ayo finally gets his shoe on and scores another layup this time getting the foul.
