"agents who represented players on expiring deals yearned to get their clients to Chicago. The Bulls will be one of the few teams with significant cap space this offseason."
Read: "they gave Patrick Williams $90M, and RFA never works, cha-ching!"

James Harden is already causing frenzies. Jose Alvarado provides a specific type of insurance. And a second-draft candidate went to the perfect place.

I think the Bulls should get fined for acquiring and playing veterans during a 'rebuilding stage we won't call rebuilding'
The Jazz and Pacers are paying the price now.
But will they later?
The Bulls are doing the opposite — competing earnestly, even when the incentives point the other way.

. @blazersedge.bsky.social night is one of the coolest things anyone at SBN has ever done. If you have the means and can donate a ticket to help a kid see their first NBA game, you can do so here. Even just $20 can give a kid a lifelong memory:

Get Billy in the lab over break with a returning Giddey and Jones and I expect that will be Dillingham's career high the rest of the season
Silver lining for the Bulls in sixth-straight loss: Rob Dillingham played a career-high 30 mins ...
16 PTS
6-12 FG
4-5 FT
7 AST
3 STL
Had some really crafty drives to the rim and was very hard to stay in front of. There is something there.

Celtics post-deadline roster snapshot and game preview versus Bulls www.blogabull.com/p/add-this-c...
Vuc is plausible as a contributor but far from a guaranteed upgrade over Simons. Point of that trade was reduce payroll.
Vuc in proper role backing up a 2nd rounder, why would he seek "revenge"

Nets first-round rookies pretty soundly beat the Bulls' 'youth with experience'. Both teams were trying and didn't pull starters in the 4th or anything.
Calculated minutes-weighted age of both teams last night:
Bulls 25.5 years old
Nets 23.5 years old

Danny Wolf has started stringing together good games. All five of the Nets first-round rookies are showing real improvement over the last few weeks.

This was a potential gain in lottery balls but it was not tanking or rebuilding
Absolutely incredible Bulls loss to the Nets without MPJ tonight while Billy still went all out to win the game with his vets to close.

Holy crap what a waste of time the rest of this Bulls season will be. To be fair they do keep telling us this is what they're going to do: play veterans, be competitive
Billy is a players coach who will get these guys minutes in contract years

Those bellyaching about tanking look to the ethical Billy Donovan, who is surrounding Buzelis with Simons/Okoro/Sexton/Richards
they're losing anyway, and the important thing is they are not exposing young players to the losing.

fun exercise for a hypothetical addition of an NBA team in Chicago. It's a big market!
Expansion is back buzzing after the NBA met with Washington political leaders last week and reports that a vote on adding teams could come this summer.
If you can't wait, you can do a mock expansion draft on @spotrac.com! Have fun mock expansion drafting!
