Best for the Bulls if they trade the remaining relevant pieces, tank and start with the draft again since quality FA's never want to go there.
Last two times we had any significant money we got Boozer and Gasol. I don't necessarily disagree with the rest of what you said

but what teams are regularly signing quality FAs exactly?

Regularly? You don't need to regularly sign high quality FA's. Usually the one or two you sign set you up for contention (Miami, Spurs, Cleveland) I don't consider a 34 year old too much of a "quality" signing, especially for a team in a decline.

There have been many times Chicago has $ to spend and the players on their wish list choose other teams or stay with a team worse than Chicago and that shouldn't be the case for a team with 6 rings in a not so far away era. Tmac, Melo, Wade, off the top of my head.

GarPax can eat a fat sack, but Noah leaving is actually a great thing for the Bulls.

He's old, injury-prone and a complete non-factor on offense.

He's a part of the old core, and it's time for the Bulls to move in a new direction.

Both those signings did theoretically set us up for contention tho... My point is its not like many other teams eat off FA, so why criticize a team that's actually had moderate success here

seem like yesterday :mjcry:
It does :noah:

I think he still is a great player. There's just no motivation in Chicago. That and his injures, naturally he would want a change of scenery

dude was a beast in the 2013-14 season

You can't run the offense through Noah anymore, especially now when he's paired with another big, he looked terrible with Pau because the spacing was all messed up. Also, what happens in the playoffs is that dudes just sink into the paint when he has the ball, running the O through him is a losing recipe in the playoffs.

I'll sure miss those random 6 pts/17 assists/12 rebs games from breh though.

Man just wants to win. He put his heart and soul out there. Furthermore, this guy actually went out the way to try and help out the youths and even try to stop the gun violence down there.

I feel him though. I would leave if I don't see any changes. Spurs would be a good fit.
