If top FA's don't want to come to chicago, then what are you rebuilding for? In hopes that in 6 years top free agents change they mind?

Whether now or later, you will have to get a star on your team either via trade or free agency. There is no such thing as building totally through the draft and being a true contender. History agrees with me.

Acquire as many young players and picks as possible, hope to develop a star or two of that crop, and then use the remaining assets to net a star or compliment(role players) the stars you have.

Understand & realize that we're fuk'd regardless on both ends..

They suck at get recruiting FAs, FAs ain't beating down Chicago's door
Can't draft worth shyt

This is it

Same roster wit Luke Kennard(bulls love non athletic white boys),whoever they draft #38:francis: & possibly a underwhelming fa like Patti Mills

This your 2018 bulls:manny:

Breh y'all had D Rose a year removed from a RoY yet y'all couldn't get anyone in 2010(sans Boozer), not too mention Melo didn't want to go there 3 years ago. Let the dream go, top FA's don't want to go to Chicago, it's time to rebuild.

Get a top 5 pick; and one or two high upside picks/players for Butler. A Butler and Millsap squad is nothing more than second round status.

this is such bullshyt lmao

Wade is on record saying Bulls were his only other option if Heatles didnt happen. We got a all star in his prime in Boozer. We got Pau & Wade recently, IDGAF how old they are, we signed HOF'ers in FA. We were the only team Melo was seriously considering other than staying in NY.

Show me all the teams with better FA track records since 2010, Ill wait for this list

If you can't get the kings ransom for jimmy, bulls would just be better off falling back another year, adding a couple of players like Jeff teague and rudy gay on some 1+1 deals, stockpile assets in lopez trade, sign and eventually trade niko, see about getting a pick for valentine, then open all that cap space in 2018 with jimmy being the only one under contract next off season.

Then seeing what's up with the cleveland situation. If lebron bounces put up all your assets to get Irving. Jimmy loves kyrie, Kyrie loves jimmy, be the team that facilitates that union. If you pull off that trade you still have max cap to offer another free agent.

If the kyrie thing doesn't pan out, you sign 2 max players next off season and use your assets you stock piled to add the depth.

See, you have to consider that this kings ransom is not going to come for jimmy, and you have to have another plan if it doesnt. Otherwise you will just be complaining about blowing it up and that is how teams get low balled and we end up trading jimmy for a protected 1st rd pick and a prospect which ain't nothing. Teams are not trying to help us. If it was that easy to just add a ton of quality youngsters and hope to flip them for a star down the line then all these bottom teams would be doing it. But when you suck and got a team full of youngsters no proven all star talent wants to join you, unless you in a unique situation like lakers who in a state most these players want to live.

By time this is said and done, posters will swear the bulls turned down a kings Ranson for jimmy, when the truth is, that kings ransom was never on the table in the 1st place.

I understand this. It doesnt discount that we signed these players. Its pretty clear we are on the short list of FA destinations in the league

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'd take Jimmy over anyone in this draft. We won't get much more then a top 5 pick and maybe a scrub or two or a 2nd round pick for Jimmy. This front office doesn't have a history of making strong trades that favor us. I'd prefer we build around Jimmy.

If we are not a free agent destination, then we need to hire a FO that makes us a free agent destination, otherwise you will just be drafting another player with potential and failing to build around them too.

Your not alone, I'd prefer to stay competitive, but if a team drops the kings ransom, we almost have to say yes to it.

Thing is, some are posting like that kings Ransom is there and we saying no to it, instead of realizing the kings ransom is not there at all. So unless we ready to rebuild on a mediocre package, gotta have a plan in place as well to build with jimmy too.

A top 5 pick + a young player or two would be a decent deal imo. No one is just gonna throw a whole bunch of picks at us for Butler, but if the trade don't involve picks then we might as well keep him

On another note: :lupe:
