No trades get done because they all end in "you're a DAMN BIGOT!" and hanging up the phone.

Serious question - What would you do to fix the Bulls? I'm guessing Billy D would be gone, but then what?

At this point you essentially have to blow it up. They can't tweak the roster at this point in order to get better. That ship.has sailed

I don’t disagree but how do you go about it? Trade all the vets and take what you can get? Trade Coby? Do you hang on to all the young guys and play them in a tank and tryout type season? Do you clean house in management? If you fire Billy D, who do you replace him with? Do you target any specific free agents?

Draft Zach Edey.

I think it would be better if he went to a good organization.

Yeah Walker Kessler was a solid pick or trade it appears.

Billy D and his devotion to small ball is killing the team. The Bulls really haven't been blown out all season. They are losing a lot of games down the stretch simply because they can't get stops and rebounds. These are winnable games. Caruso at the 4 and Jones at the 5 needs to stop. It's not a winning formula

Had to edit that last comment. Truth be told I don't know what I. The hell they are going to do. What I would do is trade "The Big Three" and try and maximize my return. Bulls have a top 10 protected pick next year and I don't believe that want to lose it, but if they want to put out a competitive product, then they are to have too.

They can get something decent for their big 3, but the question is do they want too?

The "experts" claim the 2025 draft will be great and at least 10 deep. It would be very Bulls-like for them to squeak into the play-offs and forfeit their pick. That said, I think (hope) they are all in on the tank and will trade at least 2 of the big 3 in order to keep their pick.

I've heard "deep draft" seemingly every other season. Most recently last season with the Wemby draft. "Loads of Riches" with a lot of "Can't miss' prospects. Only to get to the draft and see that a lot of the guys were nowhere near as good as advertised. I don't follow it ad much as I used to, but by all accounts Cooper Flagg is the only Can't miss. If that's the case then I'd rather not tank.
If want them to trade the big 3, but not solely for draft picks and expiring contracts. If they cannot draft a can't miss or future All Star type then they shouldn't trade solely for draft positioning

Presti traded five 2nd round picks last night for essentially a 2nd round pick.

It isn't rocket science though. You trade to get better or you trade to build, foundation first. The odds are better on the crap shoot between foundation building and just moving chess pieces around. What AK has proved is he isn't prime Jerry West or Pat Riley. He couldn't even snag one of the 100 draft picks Presti had. His last shot is foundation building.

Actually in today's NBA building through the draft is the crap shoot. Unless you luck into a#1 overall with a franchise player, or a year with a top 5 class that's strong, then you really aren't getting much out of the draft. And even when you do then the GM that drafted him will already have been launched while waiting for them to develop. As the old Adage goes, the NBA is a men's league. You are not winning with 19 year olds as your best player. Or making any noise either.

And the trading for draft picks and we will be straight game isn't working either because any draft pick that has actual value is likely to be protected anyway.
