Plan realistically and then if you get some luck, that’s icing on the cake. Getting a transformative player in the draft after you’ve made your team terrible is at best a very long shot, and not something I would want to incorporate into my expectations.

Preparing myself for a 20-30 win year next season and early calls for tanking. Once the tanking disease starts, it’s very hard to get over it. If healthy and with a top 4 pick we’re fighting for a playoff spot next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Injuries made the team terrible, and it was time to move on from Vuc, Ag, Fournier. There was no master plan coming in to tank the season as you continue to try and frame it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha. After re-thinking I edited that post to say we’re fighting for a playoff spot, which in the East these days doesn’t even require a .500 record Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had devastating injuries and it was definitely time to move on from the guys that couldn't get us past 1 win in the1st round and put a more competitive team together. Adding in 2 top 10 picks in a strong draft will put us in a great position to field a young, high energy team that has a future. If we can have 7 guys that consistently have the same fight as Cole and RJ have we are gonna be a dangerous team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,476 Report post Posted May 17, 2021 Wasserman new mock has us getting Mobley and Jalen Johnson. I really do not want that. Mobley I'm more than fine with (we picked #3 and Green went #2) but Jalen Johnson at #8 is a bad pick in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hah it's the other Johnson I would be annoyed with for #8 but I'm not massively high on any of them in the Bulls range, FO is going to be very busy with workouts for that Bulls pick.

O_SteveO 102 Report post Posted May 17, 2021 What do y’all think it would take for us (hypothetically) to trade the Bulls pick? I’m not so much suggesting that we do, but if we keep it we’re gonna have 5 rookie or sophomore players on an already very young team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
