Haha, super old, but because it is a team option it really doesn't matter.

I could see the US still being the favorite, but probably no longer a favorite vs the field. There are a lot of young guys who haven't had a chance yet that will be in their absolute primes in 3 years, and the US will always have unbelievable depth.

Excited to see what they do this year in the playoffs with more experience. I wonder if it takes them one more year to get over the hump or if they can do it this year.

For Rodman, you could argue not do anyone else from either threepeat, but Dennis stands out, because I think he was critical and irreplaceable (at least not without an all-star replacing him). I don't think that's true of Toni or Grant whom would be the other options.

When looking at legacy guys, Chet and Gilmore could be as good (or better) cases than Norm, but Norm stayed connected with the franchise for decades, was constantly in the UC, passionate about the team, the fans, and made the Bulls his life's passion. That means a lot to me.

I think you retire jersey's of guys who represent good eras for your team. Joakim is such a guy (along with Rose) for a good era and only good era for a generation of Bulls fans. They deserve to be up there together.

That would be true, but Hollywood Jimmy wouldn't go along with it. He'd be bitching and moaning from day 1.

Yeah, you'd have to find some team that wants him and could give you something you like more than LaVine, but from the Bulls perspective, even if not, just waive Butler and let him sign elsewhere and save the cash.

I'd do this before I'd do the Nuggets trade if they're desperate just to move LaVine rather than to build with him.

It makes some sense for the Bulls. They just clear a ton of salary space, look to turn it into a 3 way and give Jimmy to whomever wants him for expiring salary so they can chase their draft pick.

Every year I play a game of trying to guess what went down on the red dot days.

So far, our best play-in tournament result is 3rd out of 4 teams, so we can't even hang that banner.

We wish we were mid.

Late to the party, but it is the hole created for the NBA cup

I would counter that you are underestimating the injury risk given the years.
