I was just joking about including Crane Kenney. It would be very funny if the fanbase turned their ire toward him of all people.
-
We can't let Crane Kenney off the hook either IMO.
-
This is why I was happy they got Thieneman and then the kid from Texas in the 4th. We needed DB help even before Kyler's latest injury. He's a good player when he's on the field, but that's becoming a real problem lately (also true for JJ).
-
They have too many guys! A 3-for1 where they get rid of some mid-firsts and a potentially overpaid #2/3 type for a cost-controlled future star like Caleb Wilson seems like a good deal for them. Just have to make sure no other team that has a top 4 pick is aware of this though......🤔
-
Hell yes. Give us Jalen Williams, 12 and 17 for 4. Giddey Jalen Williams Matas Morez Mara They still owe us for the Caruso trade, as well. Quite frankly I'd certainly be down to trade Giddey this offseason as well. Especially if it gets us anywhere in this loaded draft.
-
He played a pretty good game against Michigan's monster front line. Didn't dominate but Mara, Yaxel and Morez are all obvious pros and a tough task for any frontcourt player. They might end up on the Bulls together when all is said and done. It once again shows how great this draft is and how the Bulls really can't go wrong at 4 and 15. Great work AKME! 😜
-
Now that the Bulls have #4 I'm most interested to see what they do at #15. I like the Baylor guard Cam Carr quite a bit. Good shooter with size and athletic as hell. If they go big Chris Cenec is a very intriguing prospect and might fit perfectly next to Boozer. Previously I thought they might need to move up from 15 to get a possible impact guy but now I think they can stay where they are. This draft is deep as hell and I love the situation the Bulls are in.

IIRC Essengue was a 6'7 or 6'8 SF last year so that would indeed be a crazy growth spurt. I'm not sure what his ceiling is but it's certainly higher at 7'0 (har har). With the way this draft is shaking out I could see the Bulls bringing back either Coby or Ayo. Giddey is only kind of a guard and then you have Tre Jones and Rob Dilly. I think there's definitely a need for another guard, and I want no part of the guys they brought in last year (Sexton, Simons, Ivey, etc.) Still so psyched they moved up to 4. This draft has a clear top-4 but everyone will have a different order. Plus the 15 pick in this draft is awesome too.
-
Hopefully our best pass rusher, Kyler Gordon, is healthy next season. It is important to have good ends of course, but the Bears D seemed like it was performing best last year when Allen was bringing blitzes from unusual locations.
-
How likely do we think it is that they sign one of the FA DE I've seen bandied about (Bosa, Cam Jordan, etc.)? Do they even have the money to do that? Sweat and Booker is a decent start but I'm not counting on Motivated Dayo and Shemar for too much as they're both coming off big injuries. Would love to add one more established guy.
-
I'll say it: I love this draft for the Bears.
-
It was fun watching the late innings of this game, I knew the Mets were going to Mets it up.
-
Unfortunately 3 more years of the Pwill contract, but things are looking up. AKME was the Ryan Pace of the NBA. Please just hire someone competent.
-
Ricketty Construction Co. 😕 I knew those bathrooms weren't ADA compliant as well!
-
I don't think PCA is *this* bad but what if he is?
-
Despite all the incompetence the Bulls find themselves at a pivotal fork in the road moment. If they hire a good VP/GM and get a little lotto luck, they could really turn this thing around quickly. I know it's the Bulls but one good hire (like the Bears getting Ben Johnson) can really lock things into place. They don't have a Caleb Williams on their roster but the job is desirable enough as is. This could be a transformative offseason.
-
I didn't know Carson Kelly could play first base.
-
I have a buddy who went to Denver and have been to a few hockey games there. Awesome place, go Pios!

Cubs (Rea) vs Rays (Boyle): 4/8/26, 5:40pm

Michael Busch screwed by Blue. -
I'm not saying he's going to be great, but he was mocked to be drafted anywhere from 9 to 15 so not a reach. Might suck, may have been a bad decision, whatever. But he wasn't a reach. He looked pretty good in the summer league despite that funny picture of him getting dunked on.
-
I look at the Bulls kind of like the Bears. Ownership is pretty clueless about the sport but they seem to acknowledge that. I also think they're willing to spend money and want to be good. They just don't know how to hire the right people, which is a huge problem. The Bears got the right people because they landed the #1 pick and have a star QB. They're going to have possibly two top-15 picks in this draft and ~$65 million in cap space. A good GM could turn this around quickly. Will they be able to find one?
-
It's amazing how much my mood will be altered by losing to a conference opponent. I felt no stress for Houston but was sick before the Iowa game. Similarly I am confident and excited for UConn but if we win and match up against Michigan I'll really be going through it.
-
I'm stuck in the office (on a legit beautiful game no less). Now I've got something to watch tonight with the porch opened up.
-
Indeed, although I'll be watching between my fingers considering how the last month has gone. Penn shoots the 3-ball well, if they start off hot I hope we don't get into chucker mode. We have such a size advantage, can't get suckered in by a smart team who knows who they are.
-
We'll still need to draft a S but I'd take Brisker back on something reasonable. Has to be 1- year deal, can't hurt to have a guy who will go kamikaze when necessary.
