He doesn’t want to play. This is the only way Billy will ever let him go to Vegas.

That's a shame. He's been solid for the Bulls when he plays.

He has a player option next year (2.8 million)...does he exercise it? I'm sure he agreed to that deal because he wanted to bet on himself (keep in mind he's 33 years old).

It’s almost funny at this point. “Key Bulls’ Reserve Injured During Week Off. Will return in 21 months.”

Haha only we could pick up an injury over the all star break.

Does this mean more minutes at the 4 for Terry or Taylor or what? I haven't been paying attention.

Hard to say for sure, but I'd guess it means more Drummond for sure in the twin towers lineup. Would guess Phillips and Dalen both get more burn too.

Un freaking believable. No PF again.

Terrible news, Craig is very important to this team especially since PWill has been out. He’s actually a decent rebounder too. Can’t catch a break, hopefully he can return closer to 2 weeks.

Billy will most likely go extra small again, will be undersized and out rebounded. Now would be a good time to try Bitim or to sign a buy out/free agent player.

Craig has played very well since returning but also hasn't looked completely healthy. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner, frankly.

Good thing we traded for that PF at the deadline, right?

On the bright side, Drummond should be locked in at 25+ minutes for the next month.

Sign Chimezie Metu.

He'd be the 2nd/3rd tallest on the team and would be the back-up C also.

We’re going to sign Javonte Green aren’t we?

Rose2Boozer · Post #13 » by **Rose2Boozer** » Wed Feb 21, 2024 3:16 am

AKME should sign 5 Javontes to a 10 day contract.

Damnit, LeBron told us that fans should be happy that no one got injured over the ASB!

Look at the bright side. We never actually had any PFs to begin with. So in that sense we haven’t lost anything at all.

Caruso at PF it is… jesus

Would we have to waive somebody to sign Javonte Green?

Just fire GARPAX already oh wait……..

Forget the buyout market. There is nobody good enough to sign and keep for the remainder of the season.

Try out some guys and sign some 10 day contracts. See if anyone sticks that way.

Start Vooch and Drummond, play Sanogo.

Coby / Ayo / DeMar / Vooch / Drummond
Caruso / Carter / Terry / Phillips / Sanogo

Go all-in on the youth movement, let the kids play 15-18mpg, make their mistakes, and start building for the future. I'd rather see what we have in the young guys in real NBA games. It's the only way they can grow.

I think we'll still end up in the play-in either way - maybe even keep the 9th seed with how much of a mess the two teams behind us are.
