Bulls are done. Time to hit the reset button.

[Upgrayedd]

Bulls are stuck with Rose. So hopefully he'll actually play more and continue to play as well as he's been recently. Just no more lame excuses like he's sore. Come on, you've missed like 3 seasons. There's no excuse to be sore. You've had plenty of rest.

Anyways time to hit the reset button. Bulls are in 7th place right now and only a couple games ahead of the 9th seeded team. Absolutely pathetic. They're not winning anything this season. Trade Gasol by the deadline. He wants out anyways this summer. Trade Taj, trade Dunleavy, trade Snell. Let Noah go this summer.

Keep Butler, Mirotic, Doug McDermott, Portis and Rose and build from there. Get a ton of draft picks and some good players in return for players like Gasol, Snell, Dunleavy and Taj.

But it's time to start over. This current team is done.

[nathanjizzle]

why? all we need is a competent coach. also need to trade butler. hes the next melo but not as highly regarded.

[ballinhun8]

What are we going to get for those guys tho? Namely Gasol. Most teams know he won't exercise his option so we probably won't get much for a rental.


I think the midst we'd get for is Gibson. Maybe OKC would want him? A swap for Waiters?? We could use real shooters. Dougie and MDJ and Miro are our only consistent threats outside.


Nonetheless though, we keep losing but we have a depleted roster. No rose, Butler, Miro, noah, MDJ on a minutes restriction.

[1987_Lakers]

Sadly, the Bulls ain't winning shit as long as LeBron is with the Cavs.

[tontoz]

They seem cursed. When have they had their main guys healthy at the same time? Over the last few years they have really been snakebit.

[postmupndunkit]

Untouchables Butler, Gasol, Mirotic, Portis.

Freeball Holberg has to GO.

SHOP: Rose, Gibson-sorry T., McDermott, Snell, Noah, Dunleavy,

Resign: Brooks, Moore

Retire: Hinrich

The front office needs to be fired also, clean freaking house.

He is better than Rose. Rose is a waste of a roster spot.

[poido123]

Not only trades need to be made, but the management needs a thorough looking over.


They had the chance in the offseason to get better market value for players like Noah and Mirotic, but their lack of urgency and overrating certain players has now really hurt the team.


Actually trades won't save this team, new management and coach might.

[poido123]

He is better than Rose. Rose is a waste of a roster spot.


While rose's knees are held together with paper and he's still healthy, we should be doing everything to trade him by the deadline.


He's not leading us anywhere, time to reload or tank.

[Gileraracer]

Bulls can be pretty solid one day and the other day it's just ugly to watch their games, especially on offense.

Time 4 rebuild

[bobopenguin]

Lakers would take Rose for Lou + hibbert + future 1st pick.

[Sarcastic]

Knicks will trade Calderon + O'Quinn + Jerian Grant for Rose.

rose is heading to LA in '17 anyway

Good. The Bulls need to get rid off him and build around Buckets.

[dunksby]

When your highest paid player refuses to play due to "general soreness" you know you got to send his ass packing.

[kshutts1]

I've been saying we should trade Pau for a long, long time now. He offers more value to a fringe competitor, as he could put them over the top, than he does to us.

Teams that should consider trading for Pau:
Dallas
OKC
Washington
Indiana
Miami
NY

All of them would be significantly better and, with the exception of Dallas, should have real thoughts of making the finals with Pau on board.

Even Dallas, though, would likely believe that between Dirk, Pau, Parsons and a rejuvenated Deron that they have a shot if things fall a certain way.

pau is probably the best player in bulls right now.

u dont just trade pau.. the guy is fking loyal. He's good and consistent, there's nothing to complain about the guy, u dont just disrespect him like this. He was signed to be a core piece and mentor to the team, which he delivered.

u should wait for him to request for a trade, instead of trading him.

[HylianNightmare]

They had their shot last playoffs

Bulls have shown to be a loyal organization as a whole. So trading Pau because it's better for the team right now, and trading him to a legit contender, would not tarnish that "loyal" reputation.

Pau is not the best player on the team, jimmy is. Pau's defense is so terrible. People walk past the guy for free lay ups. He is part of the reason the Bulls are so bad. His offense is great but not worth his terrible defense.

[He Strong]

They need to retool and get healthy, but tank or anything.

[postmupndunkit]

DMC and Rondo looking good.....

[nathanjizzle]

hoiberg is seriously the equivalent of vinny delnegro. i really hope they bring in a new coach asap. Give that boy Luke Walton a call!

[MiseryCityTexas]

Bulls would still be a play-off team if Tom was still the coach

[nathanjizzle]

Good. The Bulls need to get rid off him and build around Buckets.

theres nothing to build around buckets. hes not a strong play creator, not a strong shooter, not even strong in team defense.

:biggums:

Still a significantly better player than Rose though.

That's not the problem. The Cavs aren't that good. They're not winning anything as long as they have to face the Spurs or Warriors in the finals. The Bulls aren't winning anything not because of LeBron James but because they just suck. Paxson and Forman have done a terrible job building this team.

Gasol wants out this summer. He's gone. I'm thinking probably to Memphis to play with Marc Gasol. So trade Pau by the deadline instead of him leaving and getting no one in return for him this summer.

[DrainMD]

They had their shot last playoffs

I really think so too, they were relatively healthy, Butlers progression, Paus addition, and Roses return. And they couldnt beat a hobbled Cavs team.

[JohnFreeman]

Try and sign a Conley

A team will take on Roses's contract

[nathanjizzle]

:biggums:

no hes not:lol the fact that you believe a team should be built around butler proves how much you overrate him.

Pau is being a monster and the Bulls would be a much better team if Butler learned to play WITH him and not AGAINST him.

Butler want's to do everything, maybe there is some racism, but if Kobe the shotchucker can dump the ball down low to Pau so can Butler.

What is wrong with Butler? Kobe is a top 10 player all time and he had no problems setting up Pau, but Butler doesn't want to let Pau get the ball.

What a dumbass.

butler is a rigid player, he has little finesse. pau is a finesse player and needs finesse players to play well with him.

[90sgoat]

No, he just doesn't like to pass the ball to Pau.

Butler at his worst is better than Rose at his best.

Let that sink in.

:yaohappy:

14 points on 18 shots and TERRIBLE defense. Couldn't get the W without Batman.

[Heavincent]

I could have told you that 3 years ago.

wow man, c'mon.

rose at mvp season was a beast. he almost took down lebron by himself.

The Bulls lost 4-1 and Rose was worse than garbage.
