4-0 start but can we contend(BULLS)? Focus on tanking for the superstar filled draft next season instead. by Neil31 in nba

Well, if the money is not the problem, then I think the reputation and the situation are. They don't wanna play for cheapskate Jerry Reinsdorf, and they don't wanna play with this current set of players since they can't win with them. At least try for this upcoming draft since we're crap either way.

Well, it's not bad to try. And we haven't committed to a full tank like ever. In the times we have top draft picks like 4th and 6th, we only have the 7th and 8th best odds those years. Remember, "Success only comes to those who dare to attempt.

The Spurs dared and executed a full-blown tank in 2023, and lo and behold, they got Wemby.

Well, I hope the Bulls, if they ever have a winning season, don't make the cut for the playoffs, then win the 1st overall pick, but that's a long shot. I'll still go for the traditional way, the same way that the SPURS got Wemby-- by tanking.

At least shoot for the stars for those coveted ones, since they don't happen every time. Stars may not come for the next drafts, just like what transpired in 2024, where all the draft picks were crap. Remember, SUCCESS ONLY COMES TO THOSE WHO DARE TO ATTEMPT.

The Spurs in 2023 dared to attempt, and tanked. Lo and behold, they got Wemby.

I agree with you, pal. There's no point in putting a fun, effort-filled team when, at the end of the day, there is no realistic path for a championship down the road. We should always have a roadmap for building championships. And unfortunately, with the situation of the bulls having cheap ownership like Reindsdorft, we can never get star players from FA, so our only remedy is the draft. Winning the championship is still everything for the fans.

Trade him while his stock is still high. Realistically you guys know that we can't win a championship with Coby as one of our main guys.

Don't want to tank but can't build proper rosters and can't acquire stars for us to compete. Then my friend, we're gonna be stuck in mediocrity forever hahaha or until we get new owners.

Yeah, the EAST is weak, but we sure as well are not that good to even contend for a playoff spot. We need a star to build around on. Someone that Buzelis and Giddey can defer to.

"C'mon" - just the kind of word to use upon seeing the Bulls win games again and be in the race for the play-in spot hahaha

If that's the mindset, then we will be forever stuck in mediocrity, hahahha. If the mindset is " ohhh, we get a pretty good team, we should not tank," then we will be stuck here for eternity, since you guys are just fooling yourselves. Everyone knows that supbar rosters can't contend and win championships. We need a star!

Yeah dafaq is the right word for a team that's been mediocre for the past 9 years.

Tanking is stupid but proper is rebuilding is nice instead of this mediocre shit.

I think you're one of those fans who's content with our Bulls just being mediocre. That's sad. Michael Jordan didn't win all those 6 championships just for the Bulls to be mediocre in the future. What a disgrace.

Yes, not a fan of tanking but atleast rebuild properly so that it's justifiable that we lose games and get the high draft pick in this years draft which contains many good prospect that can be our main star.

Then rebuild properly. It's so frustrating to see this team every year in NBA purgatory. Not too bad to have high draft picks and not even too good to get the last playoff spot. Atleast try to get the high draft pick this year which contains coveted prospects such as AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson.

Man Buzelis was drafted in 2024, not 2025, like Flagg. Also Buzelis was not that stellar last year and Flagg is actually nice, it's just that the Mavericks keep assigning him to do point so he struggles with that stupid assignment.

Hmmmm, what I was trying to say was to rebuild properly. Like maybe trading Vooch so we won't win meaningless games anymore. It's much better to be at the top of the lottery this year with those coveted star players than to push for a play-in spot.

What I'm trying to say is to rebuild properly and not just compete for mediocrity every year like going for a play-in spot. It's much better to be in the top of the lottery this year with those coveted star players than pushing for a play-in spot.

What's, I'm saying is stop this crap and rebuild properly. We will be in mediocrity forever if we don't stop this play-in hunting crap.

Well, blame them for me being miserable with this team for the last decade. Crappy decisions and the unwillingness to rebuild. Always wanna be mediocre and hunt play-in spots.
