You're trying to manifest *sending* two second round picks for Andre Drummond reunion

Seems risky for someone you want (?) to trade

But if Bulls lose, only 4.5 up on #MyHornets

Lakers snapshot up. I don't care enough (and I'm taking fans' lead on this) to post individual game threads but you can comment on latest blog post www.blogabull.com/p/bulls-play...

Would mean opportunity for a team to sell non-major players at inflated values... But I remember this phenomenon two trade deadlines ago, where AK both 1) misused the term 'sellers market' 2) didn't see his team as a seller

I always preferred extending Ayo, but only after applying leverage to get a hometown discount. It worked before! But he's playing so well now I don't think he'd extend below market rate

Last week I was trying to think of worse contracts than Patrick Williams (similar dollar range) came up with only Poeltl

This has been a successful season for the Chicago Bulls Dinner Theater Company

Good news! We can make trades now. Even better knowing now Bulls are in play-in by default so nothing they'd do would jeopardize 'competitiveness', right AKME?

Ah! Well, nevertheless...

When We Were Kings

Bulls getting in play-in by default. Unless, uh, Charlotte at 5.5 games behind? "we owe it to this group to see what happens"

The best ever in Chicago Sports radio. RIP chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media...

Only hope we have at shaming this year is a full house booing the shit out of the current team before the big ceremony

assuming they faceplant in the next 2 weeks, you'd hope that it would be informative to Bulls management to know if you're a Tre Jones away from competitive, you're not really competitive

haha 😭

problem is matching salary is Thybulle, who is bad and hurt. Would AK sacrifice wins, and a better shot at play-in glory, in trading away Coby, Ayo, or Tre Jones for mere 'assets'? I don't think so (because he's dumb). Maybe can work out a 3rd team where you get a useful player?

The Portland discussion was interesting though did not connect to Bulls, it should: trade a guard to the Blazers to help them make the playoffs and the Bulls get their pick. Heck, get the Blazers to reduce protections to top-4. it'd be a similar "getting a 1st, sorta" return like LaVine trade

striking how the Bulls operate, and talk - though very rarely - in the complete opposite way they are pursuing short term success, and find mediocrity very hard to achieve and commendable

doing the Alonzo Mourning meme over last night's Bulls win, which was very legit shaking head: feeds AK's delusions and he'll "want to see what we have with this group" rationalization face: he was going to do do that regardless of record. So might as well win? substack.com/@blogabull/n...

I always said Josh Giddey could be a good 6th man

that steal of a contract is the perfect crime, because nobody notices

This is undoubtedly true. Though Bulls, as inferior team, played really well tonight to get it to be a clutch game in the first place.

One quarter in and it certainly looks like the Wolves bench could use help. Problem is they have no firsts to trade... Though AK would rather have your busts so maybe there's a deal www.blogabull.com/p/bulls-play...

Another Tre Jones W

when Patrick Williams plays more than 23 minutes, the Bulls are 4-9

fun with arbitrary statistical cut-offs: When Patrick Williams is inactive, receives a DNP, or plays fewer than 10 minutes, the Bulls are 7-1

I led today's post with my distrust of any Cowley or ClutchPoints rumors, but I will give credit here as @jakelfischer.bsky.social (not top-tier, but better than most) confirmed Bulls interest in Yves Missi substack.com/@blogabull/n...

not surprising www.blogabull.com/p/vuc-is-bul...

new post! talking Bulls-Timberwolves matchup... no not the game tonight, who cares, about their TRADE partnering possibilities www.blogabull.com/p/bulls-play...

Wow the Hornets going down huge and making a comeback by running and shooting threes against a team better than them but also in the midst of an 82 friggin game season. I thought only the CARDIAC BULLS did this and they were a unique snowflake of bad team

as desperate as anyone for Bulls rumors, but I'm not going to indulge 'reports' from people at no credible outlet (is "Evan Sidery" AI?) or the borderline-illiterate Sun-Times beat reporter I did listen to 90 minutes of Zach Lowe talking trades and there was zero mention of Bulls or Bulls players

Report is from Joe Cowley #SavedYouAClick

AK after this deadline: "we are encouraged by some big wins" Also: "due to injuries we don't know what we have"

if they weren't unbeatable in close games ( @bullsjay.bsky.social ) they'd have 5 fewer wins and...well they'd still be in the hunt for the play-in and it'd feel the same

Even though it's January, it's always March

posted Clippers roster snapshot up at BlogABull no game thread tonight (invoking 'who cares?' doctrine) but you can comment under latest post www.blogabull.com/p/arturas-ka...

would this be crazy for either team?

Sounds like someone is missing the 3 game series versus the Bulls, it could determine home court for the play-in

Checking the Bulls score after that Bears game

Just let ayo and Matas skip the game so they can watch the bears

Bulls missing MPJ for "rest" tonight and Kawhi already out for Tuesday to pad AK's treasured home record

So you're saying they were competitive

Nets roster snapshot Bulls have a home-and-home versus these tankers...but on paper they have somewhat comparable talent, heh can comment here -> www.blogabull.com/p/arturas-ka...
