Hold on... AK said we had 39 wins, and we somehow need to generate an extra 10 wins... so, is he seriously telling this fan base that 49 wins is acceptable? A total that essentially equates to a 6-seed in the East? THAT is the goal??? But we're supposed to believe that this organisation is truly serious about winning? He couldn't even tell us that the goal is to have the most wins in the NBA, like we did in the season when Rose won MVP? The Celtics just won 64 games... why don't we want to win 65, next season? There is clearly an agenda to keep this franchise operating in middle-of-the-conference mediocrity, because they know that staying "competitive" just enough will generate enough interest & dollars from the fan base. We will NOT believe anything AK says about "winning" until we actually see it! Shame on y'all for constantly disrespecting Bulls Nation! We deserve BETTER‼️

well top 4 = luxury tax according to him so 6th in the east is the sweet spot for Jerry. "good enough" but not really. all they care about is for the UC to be full and the merch to sell like hotcakes.

You act like this team gone go from 39 wins to over 49 win next season after a retool or rebuild then you crazy 49 wins is progress and definitely a plus from 39 didn’t no team in the east besides Boston had more than 50 wins this season brah so if we get 49 wins next year with the roster we have then be grateful my boy

Speak on it! Watching OKC vs Pelicans. Exciting to see 2 younger teams compete at a high level. Real basketball. Not some thrown together mess. I know those young bulls try but they are just not in the same category with current NBA talent. Truthfully, half our guys need to be sent to the g league. Just saying.

Think about every answer AK gave regarding the outcome of the season. He avoided talking about Zach Lavine at every turn. Zach's contract vs his production is the proverbial ball and chain that has and is holding us back from being what we could be. Vuc & DeMar put their best foot forward, Ayo and Coby improved and AC was consistent outside of injuries. Pat showed major statistical improvements when Zach was out of the rotation. Drummond outplayed his contract. Billy showed major improvements in tight games and all of our young guys are developing.The we bottom line is Zach's contract and Lonzo's injury have been the two major issues along with Pat's injury. Lonzo can't do anything about his injury but try to recover. Pat showed that he has more to offer when he was healthy. Zach is gone this off-season and Vuc will likely be gone due to his age.

It's time. It's time to focus on the young guys, developing them, building thru draft, building a young core with your main 3 being coby white, ayo, and Patrick Williams. We draft ethier a wing or big in this year's draft. I think also hire a coach that is focused on player development and that brings a defensive mindset or grit and grind type of style.

I'm gonna say the absolute truth and you may not like it but it's the truth and AK or Billy Donovan will not say it out loud. The Bulls as an organization have had some misfortune and have decided it's not their fault and no need to do anything until contracts have subsided. Why? Because Lonzo Ball literally solves all of the Bulls problems. When Lonzo, Zach, Demar, Vooch, and Jevonte Green were all on the court together they were the 1st seed in the East, and after injuries finished 6th. Lonzo Ball was incredible ball distributor and was shooting 42% from 3pt and brought the defensive intensity with Caruso. The disparity in play with the Bulls with and without Lonzo changed everything. in 22 Ball was out, Zach was hurt, Caruso was hurt, and Coby White was not evolved nor PWill in 23 Ball was out, Zach was out, Caruso was hurt So they don't wanna trade Zach for peanuts, and sign players when they're still paid 2 stars contracts with no production in return. The Bulls management doesn't care, the fans pack the united center and business was good. Reinsdorf is happy with the coach and gm president

AK has a tough job. You have to figure out an identity and style of play but, that comes with settling on your superstar to work off of. We don’t have a superstar player. We have very good players who are 3 to 5 options on a championship team. You cannot force teams to make deals. And you cant anticipate injuries. You also want continuity to build chemistry. Tough mufucken job. Caruso is nice to keep if you want to have a great defense and a team that communicates on D. But, he’s oft injured and a valuable asset for other teams. To build an offense around Lonzo is just not realistic cuz his surgery has never been done before and cannot trust he will remain on the court or the same player. DeMar will be to expensive to retain. He’s a tremendous locker room guy and as clutch as they get but, he’s nit a # 1 or 2 option on a championship team. I loved how LaVine played before he ended his season. He was moving the ball and not over dribbling like before and playing solid D. But, he’s a #3 option at best earning superstar $. Vuc doesn’t look happy with his role and is beginning his downside of career. If were gonna develop kids, then Billy is good for that. We need a legit superstar thats not old. We need an athletic big that defends and rebounds. After that, the pieces will be easier to put together.
