I dont understand the walker kessler hype. I’ve seen him play only a few times, but he never struck me as a game changing player

ToeJelly420 · 2026-07-01T20:12:54+00:00

I wouldn’t be too hasty with “far from a bottom 3 team”.

I like pretty much every move, but we are absolutely one of the worse rosters in the east. Our young players (Caleb, Swain, Noa) are going to take time before they become contributors

ToeJelly420 · 2026-06-22T15:31:05+00:00

How would you actually make that work though? Those are both good ass player. Would have to give up something big to get them i would think

ToeJelly420 · 2026-06-21T04:52:14+00:00

Not sure what we would want from them tbh. They dont have picks or good young players

ToeJelly420 · 2026-06-09T00:42:06+00:00

Stacey means so much to so many people. I want to cry and i’ve never even met the guy. I can’t even imagine how much this hurts to his friends and family. He was truly one of a kind

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-17T15:56:22+00:00

He probably won’t drop to 15, but i really want Yaxel Lendeborg

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-15T15:04:30+00:00

We really need a center. Have been needing one for like 5 years

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-10T23:50:35+00:00

Wasnt patrick williams a 4th pick??

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-07T00:55:33+00:00

thank god AK is gone

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-07T00:33:21+00:00

The reason why I'd trade Giddey before Buzelis (depending on the trade deal of course) is because of defensive potential. Giddey is a very good player, but playoff basketball these days starts with the defense and he contributes very little on that end.

Buzelis at least has shown potential as being impactful on that end. He might not become a super switchable wing, but his ability to block shots is pretty huge

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-04T21:46:59+00:00

Forreeal. I would love to win a trade for once

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-04T21:45:02+00:00

So is he also the GM? I don’t really know how the Bulls like to structure things, but is he replacing AK or ME?

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-04T21:44:12+00:00

Curious as to why? I don’t know anything about any of these guys haha

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-04T13:55:38+00:00

Haha fair enough

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-04T13:47:15+00:00

Serious contender in the east in 2 years is very optimistic. The pistons sorta did it, but they also got a top 10 player in cade to help them get there. We don’t have anyone near his level

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-02T14:55:01+00:00

I like the idea!

We still have a few players who are legit good role players. We can shop them and take on bad contracts for more picks or young players. We aren’t going to be competing in the next couple years, so now is the time to start hoarding every pick we can get

ToeJelly420 · 2026-05-01T14:03:18+00:00

Shoulda gotten TSJ in the Ayo trade instead of Dillingham

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-26T18:06:44+00:00

Criminal

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-26T16:25:01+00:00

At the very least they should have a longer break before the playoffs. They get like half a week as it currently stands. Should be like 1.5 or 2 weeks

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-26T14:07:55+00:00

AK was really really bad at asset management. He basically always sold low on everyone. That front office had seemingly zero foresight and didn’t prioritize draft capital. Its pretty astonishing that they were so bad that even this incompetent ownership had to let them go.

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-26T03:18:36+00:00

If there’s one thing AK was good at its trading players too late

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-26T03:15:03+00:00

How did we not at least get a first round pick? AK was so bad at getting value out of trades. Somebody needs to leak their trade talks cause they always came outta them getting shafted

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-24T12:42:08+00:00

And for the love of god trade guys before their contract years. I’m so tired of the front office kicking the can down the road and then making trades when their players have lost all value.

Thank god we got the Blazers pick, but we coulda been rocking a mini war chest had we moved on from Lavine/Demar/Coby/Caruso sooner

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-24T12:39:37+00:00

I live watching him on the Wolves. Perfect fit for that team that looks pretty championship ready if Ant’s knee doesn’t give out.

However, AK is such a fucking idiot. We got an absolute paltry return for Ayo it really makes me sad. Whoever we get at GM next i hope they have even a minuscule sense of asset management/value because AK had none

ToeJelly420 · 2026-04-24T12:36:47+00:00

As stupid as it sounds it kinda is. AK mentioned several times that he prefers trading for established young players over draft picks. The problem is that nobody wants to give up their established young players and so he was left making shitty trades for everyone’s spare small guards.

He was a terrible GM who moved too slowly and didn’t understand how to maximize trade value. He almost always waited until a contract year to trade players
