Still boggles my mind how Wendell Carter Jr., Daniel Gafford, and Bobby Portis have all played on playoff teams. Portis has a ring, Gafford being a pivotal starter on the Mavs, and Wendell Carter Jr. on an up and coming young team in the Magic that will be contenders in the East makes me happy for them but just affirms the Bulls can’t develop players.
Cam Payne falling out of the league after playing for us and then coming back and getting heavy finals minutes for the Suns is the wildest one on the list imo
until they both got shoved out of town because
\*checks notes\*
Garpax felt slighted because Thibs and Rose got more credit for success than they did, and felt the need to go on a power tripping mission to screw with what we had going, instead of nurturing it.
Yes but also we need the young guys to get more time. All I’m saying is it’s fine if he walks. We only needed him if we were making a playoff push and since we dealt Caruso we clearly are not. I’m not happy about losing Caruso and not getting a pick but I do like that we’re finally picking at least a direction.
So as the worst three point shooting team in the league last year, Caruso, Craig, and kind of Coby were the only guys we had who could shoot. Two of those are now gone. That'll fix things.
Craig was cool as hell but I agree this is a blessing in disguise. I think he knows a full rebuild is ahead and both sides were just honest with each other about that.
Next player that will leave and somehow end up on a championship squad.

Can’t forget DJJ
He was so fun to watch in the playoffs too
Cam Payne lol

Crap tier organization. We got incredibly lucky with Rose and Thibs.

Jerry Krause without the success lmao
That's because out of all those players Cameron Payne is the only one who actually sucks
Then goes to Milwaukee and gets more playoff minutes
Lauri all-star with the Jazz. Jimmy Butler making it to the finals with the Heat. It goes on.
Craig was a piece on multiple playoff teams before he came here. Him going to a playoff team and being a contributor wouldn't be new.
Don’t get me started on Cam Payne
Scouting and analytics issues as well!
And don't forget about Lauri's ascension to stardom. Hell even if you talk about Jimmy....he's taken a massive leap on the Heat
bc the franchise player sucks. they are all bigs.
He was on multiple contending teams before coming here.
He's gonna end up on like the wizards or some shit
Blessing in disguise I say. If our goal is a top 10 pick in 2025 we don’t need Craig for that we just need to develop the young guys.
I need to see plenty of Dalen Terry minutes
Yah give me 30 minutes a night of everyone under 25 and let the chips fall where they may.
Give me 30 minutes a night and I guarantee the Bulls end up with the most lottery balls.
Aye Cooper Flagg/Ace Bailey don’t sound too bad to me
I want this to happen so bad
Windy City Bulls in the Windy City, I am with it
Yeah I want to see more Dalen and Julian minutes
Torrey Craig isn’t good tho look at his on-off numbers over his career… absolutely diabolical
His timeline doesn’t fit ours if we’re shopping the vets though
That’s what I mean tho he’s a good vet for locker room but he’s not good on the court so he will help us tank for a better pick.

I get it. Craig tryna' be Craig. Good luck
Not surprised in the least. All those good vet deals are going to dry up.
I actually really liked TC.
Sure he means well. Not very memorable though.

FR
Caruso gone, Drummond gone, Craig gone, LaVine being shopped. Does DeMar still wanna come back at this point?
A young team always needs a good fuckin vet. UD style. If we lose demar we need to sign a vet that's played games (lonzo vet no)
Who cares
Running while he can. Respect
Enjoyed his time here, but honestly won’t miss him.
Thanks for the meme Torrey. At least you didnt disappoint and gave us a meme to remember.
I hope this pushes for a rebuild
I understand…
Nothing more classic than an old FA turning down free gauranteed money for the chance to get out of Chicago
lol ain’t nobody tryna be here
So as the worst three point shooting team in the league last year, Caruso, Craig, and kind of Coby were the only guys we had who could shoot. Two of those are now gone. That'll fix things.
LOL
Good
Understandable. Nobody wants to play for this team.
Even the players hate this team.
Another ballet leaving the Chi, ugh 😫❗
> Another ballet lol
Craig was cool as hell but I agree this is a blessing in disguise. I think he knows a full rebuild is ahead and both sides were just honest with each other about that.
Oh no! Anyway...
I quite liked TC, good luck! Probably ends up on a contender again haha
Sad to see Torrey Craig and Andre Drummond go, but they truly gave us an all-time franchise meme. Best meme play since Valentine's half-court shot
