Very honest, self aware Josh Giddey conversation in the latest Cash Consideration ep, listen to it!

Listening to @sethpartnow.bsky.social words in light of the constant mass dissection of the state of NBA this season

Oh…

So Alex Caruso demonstrated how valuable of a roster asset he is last night, like the kind of value you can use as negotiation leverage…

AK’s showcase is certainly showing things on this fine Sunday afternoon!!!

Good morning #BullsNation

The Chicago Bulls face the Indianapolis Pacers for the first time this season.

For my fellow Region Bulls fans, this flag is for you!

Matas’ dunks are nice.

I like Matas’ defense even more.

Small sample size but Matas currently has a 5.2% block rate per Basketball Reference, which is an NBA top-10 ranked number if Matas played 18.2 MPG.

PLAY MATAS!

Good morning #BullsNation

I rather have 4 years of the worst case that comes from selecting Matas Buzelis & Dalton Knecht in the ‘24 NBA draft vs. any amount of time with the best case of Josh Giddey.

Meanwhile this guy doesn’t value draft picks on either side of any his trade deals

"[Giddey] plays exactly how we want to play," Eversley told ESPN.

If you really want Billy Donovan off the Bulls bench (not against it) then you also need to want Arturas Karnisovas out of the Bulls Front Office.

Presumably Zach and Vuc won’t be on the roster after February 2025.

Then what?

Less shooting and no defense (Bulls are 20th ranked in NBA DefRTG rn) on the roster most likely.

Blame Billy all you want and I’ll simply say that you’re aiming too low.

AK did literally nothing when his plan fell apart due to Lonzo Ball’s multi-year absence.

Fast forward to this season, and AK is once again not prioritizing defense and while the Bulls are shooting more 3s than ever. Only 4 Bulls are credible 3P shooters: Coby, Pat, Zach and Vuc.
November 15, 2024 at 2:50 PM
AK on the other hand made a noble effort to build a small ball roster with two elite PoA defenders (Lonzo & AC) and a roster full of non-shooters (DJJ, Javonte, Dalen Terry, etc.) and 3 mixed bag scorers (aka the Mid 3) who all liked midrange shots a bit too much when on the floor together.
November 15, 2024 at 2:50 PM
Not enough Bulls fan critical conversation is focused on Arturas Karnisovas who gives Billy Donovan his roster and his tactical direction.

AK presumably wants to play small ball. However he has never committed his Bulls to two principles necessary to make small ball work - shooting and defense.
November 15, 2024 at 2:50 PM
Why does this matter to the Chicago Bulls?

Bulls fans like to criticize Billy Donovan as a coach and for his rotation decisions, which I’m pretty indifferent to this season.
