We’d still be missing a Nembhard, a Naismith, a Turner… We do have a Mathurin though.

this would have been taken more seriously back when they started 5-0

Parent - “we have Tyrese Haliburton at home”

(I do like Giddey a lot to be fair)

The guys quietly averaging just under a triple double, I think most teams would believe they could build around that.

AD is not the answer I’m sorry 

If the Pistons already have their version of Haliburton and Siakam, and the Bucks are working out their version, and The Pacers are going to get their Haliburton back, where does that leave the Bulls in the pecking order?

The magic the Pacers had last year doesn’t really seem replicable by any other team tbh. Some of those wins felt like divine intervention.

Giddey is definitely proving to be a guy you should build around. Currently we probably need a lot more than one more piece. We have to move off vuc and I’m not sure Coby and Giddey is a duo you want starting in your backcourt given the lack of defense

Wow. All this time I thought the Bulls FO had no clue what they were doing. Phew. Feeling very reassured!

Kawhi is your siakam. Send us anything please

So it seems they dont think Patrick Williams is their Siakam

It’s very easy to find a 2 way player with NBA Championship experience that is ready and available. Why don’t all teams trade for a “Pascal Siakam”?

Collins, P Williams, and Huerter matches AD’s salary without giving up any of their young core.

The only goal the Bulls have is an 83rd game.

They have their who

AK is a fuckin moron

“THE BULLS’ CROSS-STATE rival, the Pacers,” ( emphasis ESPN )

Not a lot of geography majors working at ESPN, apparently. Or even people with grade-school educations.

I know they’re sitting at only 9-10, but I don’t think it’s laughable to say CHI might have “their Tyrese Haliburton” in Josh Giddey. The man is having a pretty incredible season and will almost certainly be an All-Star this year if he keeps this up:

34 MPG, 20.5 PPG, 10 RPG, 9.3 APG, 0.9 SPG, 2.8 AST/TO, 46.9% FG, 39.2% 3P (4.6 3PAPG), 74.5% FT (6 FTAPG)

It ain’t AD.

Jesus, you’d think someone insulted some of these people’s mothers. I’m not saying Josh is as good as Hali, but he’s two and a half years younger. At the same age, Haliburton averaged 20 and 10 on a 35-47 Pacers team. Even before last post season, Tyrese was only thought of as just a great player, nothing too special.

Bulls will be mid for the rest of my life huh

this is very on-brand for the bulls

LOL

Plz take domantis sabonis

Guess they’re gonna go after Mohamed Diawara then

can i interest you in a lightly used Jerami Grant?

Come on man

His name is J.VANDERBILT. 🗣

We’ve got a lightly used Jerami Grant that might fit the bill.

“Our plan is to be above average and then go on a generationally lucky stretch of clutch wins to make it to G7 of the finals before falling apart” is certainly an idea that sounds like post-1998 Bulls management.

My manifestation is working praise be.

the Bulls have a couple months of apparent competency and decide they have to get back to normal and shit all over themselves again.

I hate this fuckin franchise

Markennen would be really good on the bulls

Can I offer you a Demar Derozan and Zach Lavine

Coby is a 7 year veteran FFS.

Can I interest them in Joel Embiid and Paul George?

This team has a legit prospect that could be a superstar if he was allowed to develop and not benched after every mistake or forced to stand in the corner. But instead they’re fixated on the most mid, first round exit level backcourt in Giddey and White.

Giddey’s game is nothing like Halliburton’s though.

If only they had a guy like Lauri Markennan….

Which is totally wrong

I think Lauri would be cool especially since he started on the Bulls but would they even have enough to get him when they’re trying to keep all that?

Guess they think they really need to buy low on someone and that’s why they’re looking at AD

For once they actually have a plan not the usual “fuck around and find out”

Tyrese Haliburton if he wasn’t an elite shooter, don’t know how to finish through contact, didn’t have an elite first step, and wasn’t a clutch performer.

Patrick Williams - “We have Paskal Siakam at home.”

giddey and buzelis are legit and they have a couple other nice pieces as well. I think they might need a nesmith or turner more than a siakam though

I rlly don’t think this is crazy as ppl r saying, biggest disagreement I have is that they’re not only missing their siakam but the entire roster

I hear he’s in Dallas. He goes by the name Anthony Davis. That’s the missing piece.

I like Lego’s to an unhealthy degree, and I might betray you. In case they need a 5 ft and change Myles Turner.

Is having Haliburton and Siakam really the goal? You need to hit on an entire rotation of great players + an all-time coach for that to even matter. All that young depth is going bye bye in whatever move gets them their Siakam.

Coby is in his 7th year he is not part of any young core

Sadly we’re also missing our Rick Carlisle

Other than Giddey not being as good as Haliburton and AD not being as good as Siakam(currently), great plan

Orlando has Jonathan Issac for them lol just give us back Vooch to be a back up and we can call it even

The hidden model is the 5 guys they can put out who can hit damn near 40% from 3 as well as defend around Halliburton

I hate this team

Buzelis could realistically develop into their Siakam.

Consider, at the same age, Siakam was a 12.8ppg overage college Freshman.

say wat u will about them but i really do believe they can actually win in the play ins this year

A “Pascal Siakam” D

Man the Thunder gave up Hali-Light to win a Chip?

Damn it, Presti has lost his magic! /s

To be fair Giddy has been amazing in Chicago

Ok so we now know who to fleece for jjj got it

Thats a very small list and its even smaller considering who is actually available. Are we talking Lauri, Grant, JJJ? Whats the list? Or take a shot on someone like Issac or Sochan?

we can structure a deal around Coby and Julius Randle

Imagine if they still had Markkanen, seems like he’d be a pretty good fit with this team

The Bulls need to find Carlisle more than Siakam. Just quickly browsing the Bulls sub tells me we have an early arrival of Billy Donovan’s patented “start the season looking like a contender and then nosedive into a bottom 5 team” season arc. The roster isn’t that bad, but Billy is simply a bad NBA coach.

Lol

It’s like this headline is intentionally designed to draw criticism

If only any other team in the league outside of Indy had a - Checks notes - Ball handler, and a wing. 

Get rid of VUCCCCCC it’s been way past time.

Classic bulls

boy slow down 😭😂✌️

If only they had a Rick Carlisle

I hate our organization 

Until I hear Jerry Reinsdorf say it himself that they’re committed to winning, I’m not buying it.

Crazy to think Shai is so good that Giddey had no place on that team

Randle or Naz for Coby White (and whatever other small adjustments need to be made)?

In a perfect world that’d be Giannis (and Thanasis) .. realistically AD or Adebayo.

They already have him, his name is Matas Buzelis

They are gonna trade for AD and make the play-in

Just offer Austin Reaves a Max contract

The Temu Pacers

And they chose AD!?

Can I introduce you to Anthony Davis?

Plus wing defenders, and rim protector 😆

Bulls have Tyrese Halliburton and Karl Malone all rolled into one with Josh Giddy.

A.D ain’t it. Someone on the lines of Trey Murphy and let Buzelis develop.

Don’t tell me the answer is AD, bruh

I cannot put into words how much I love the classic delusional nba team. After disagreeing with their vision and execution of team building for years they get a moderately successful little run and start scrambling to leverage assets to keep it going. Just incredible entertainment

The bulls just be doing anything man, at least they farm good talent for the rest of the league to capitalize on

People in the comments pointing out how Hali once looked like Giddey is today, and Pacers were at around the current bulls level.

You are correct.
Also, when they were 10 years old, Jordan and Thad Young had the same number of points scored in the NBA.

They’re 10th in the east for goodness sake, talkin bout getting a Siakim is gonna make them contenders?!?!?

Isn’t that what Vuc was supposed to be…
