Making the playoffs will be nice (even as a 6 to 8 seed), but I don't like it if it gives GarPax more job security and validation for their rebuild efforts. I don't see how they break into the elite group atop the Eastern Conference in the next few years. The only way is if Markkanen and LaVine both take the leap to legit superstar All-NBA status (which is doubtful). 2021 Giannis is probably the most likely, which still isn't great odds (and you'd still need LaVine and Markkanen to enter All Star level territory).

Sounds like they'll try to move Dunn, which seems obvious. Doubt they'll get much, but maybe a swap for a player in a similar situation/contract, but fills a backup F/C role to bump Felicio back down the rotation a bit. Then a Room MLE wing player. Resign Arci as a 5th/6th G (along with Valentine who can't really stay healthy) Satoransky-White-Arci LaVine-Room MLE-Valentine OPJ-Hutchinson-vet min Markannen-Young-Felicio WCJ-*Trade*-Gafford Plus two two-way guys, hopefully wings as that's where they'll be thinnest depth wise.

Bulls 10 best players last year were probably : LaVine 2,171 MP Ryan Arci. 1,961 Markkanen 1,682 Robin Lopez 1,606 Kris Dunn 1,389 Holiday 1,323 WCJ 1,110 Parker 1,042 Portis 531 Otto 492 For context thats only about 67% of an NBA teams minutes (not even taking into account OT minutes). So they were giving about 1/3 of their minutes or more to D League type talent. And the second most minutes was still to a 11PER type player. The two FA are basically lower end starting level or 6th men caliber players and will get minutes to reflect that. But that's a huge upgrade. And even the better players they'll lose, like Lopez probably weren't great fits. They actually seem to have something resembling a cohesive unit, and not a mismatch of personnel fits that they've built several of the past few years. Barring huge leaps by young guys, they still lack top end talent, but sounds like the contracts are lined up to make 2021 a realistic FA play.

Replacing D league or worse player minutes with real NBA minutes. Better health (hopefully) Core development There might be a 7 or 8 seed with growth potential there.
-
I'm so out of touch with the NBA, I just heard about this guy, but the Bulls S&T for Tomas Satoransky. 6'7" PG. Many on RealGM saying he's a taller Arcidiacano. Sounds like a good fit.
-
that they are both RBIs also is pretty great
-
He doesn't have the energy on court as Noah did. He's a human highlight reel of dunks and blocked shots, though. Again, if he could be taught some plays like the pick and roll to go along with his open court game, he could be really good. Haha I meant just the pure mannerisms of White, not Gafford.
-
The hair helps this comparison, but his mannerisms really remind me of Joakim.
-
This seems fine.
-
They're actually pretty good at valuing firsts. It's the seconds they hand out like candy and the existing players that they hoard like the actual good candy.
-
Could create lots of opportunity, which Pax will probably use to flip 7 for Ball or something dumb.
-
You're an odd duck.
-
No that's the assistant to the GM.
-
Asst GM is just a weird title in football in general. Most teams seem to have just embraced the "Director" titles. What does he actually do?
-
Eh, it's not bad for the opinion/editorial guys. Kicking Competition: Bears Blew it.
-
1. We done fucked up 2. Robbie Gould is still available?
-
That is actually...awesome. I have an image in my head of the young area scouts talking about him. "yea, they say he used to be an NFL GM and then went crazy after he was fired after 3 seasons"
-
Yea I kinda of really wanna go get one lol.
-
They're all Cubs at least. :dontknow: And there's 9, and one's even a pitcher! -

I’m pretty sure Houston was mainly a catcher though, right? Mueller was good but had that nasty knee injury. iirc, the cubs used Tyler Houston as a quasi super-utility player during his time with the team. Quasi-super-utility is really something. -

They found him passed out drunk in the cargo hold of a FedEx plane? Is that it? I thought it was after his favorite type of pant. -
Damn I was really hoping 5'1" wasn't a typo.
-
Two thoughts: Does Peterman really get to be included with all those other QBs with actual redeeming features (aka why not just say, "Nathan Peterman" ) Heh, two NFC North QBs.
-
Alright no April Fools shenanigans this time. The Bears throwback for this year probably leaked. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/look-bears-unreleased-new-throwback-uniforms-for-2019-might-have-just-leaked-early/ I am a fan. Bonus points if they go with the funky helmet stripes too (I'm sure they'll have the horizontal striped socks)
