Well, they're going to be bad enough to get a really good pick in next year's draft.

How many games do we think they win? 25?

They'll be the worst defensive team in the league by a mile. I'd say 25 wins but maybe a few more if they keep Niko.

Dunn/Payne/Grant

Lavine/Zipser
Markkanen/Portis

Setting the O/U at 18 games. 15 if they trade Lopez before the deadline like they should.

The Bulls will be bad defensively, but not worse than the Lakers, Kings, Suns, Nuggets, etc. Until they trade Lopez, I guess.

Bulls should use Rondo to get an asset for a salary dump. They should also use their trade exceptions as well.

They will do neither.

I dont get why people other than Bulls fans aren't losing their poo poo. Jimmy Butler is so loving good. Like maybe the 2nd or 3rd best player in the east and thats while playing for a garbage team with garbage team mates and a garbage coach. And he got traded for nothing. for a player who nobody cares about and a guy who had 2 good months before suffering a bad injury.
how can the nba have so many "smart" GMs and none of them swept in to at least make a better offer? I feel like I'm crazy. Butler is so good.

In the 2016-17 season alone:

Bulls trade: Tony Snell (40% 3 point shooter) for Micheal Carter Williams
Bulls trade: Taj Gibson, McDermott, 2nd rounder for Cameron Payne, Anthony Morrow, Joffrey Lauvergne
Bulls trade Jimmy Butler, 16th overall pick for 7th overall, Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn

and Tony Snell became good the moment they traded him hah

Like if you're planning to make a franchise altering trade, perhaps you should do your due diligence on the biggest asset you'll get back in return. This is the 3rd guy in the past 5 years the Bulls drafted who they didn't workout or even talk to.

This is the laziest loving organization in the league.
