Hold on... AK said we had 39 wins, and we somehow need to generate an extra 10 wins... so, is he seriously telling this fan base that 49 wins is acceptable? A total that essentially equates to a 6-seed in the East? THAT is the goal??? But we're supposed to believe that this organisation is truly serious about winning? He couldn't even tell us that the goal is to have the most wins in the NBA, like we did in the season when Rose won MVP? The Celtics just won 64 games... why don't we want to win 65, next season? There is clearly an agenda to keep this franchise operating in middle-of-the-conference mediocrity, because they know that staying "competitive" just enough will generate enough interest & dollars from the fan base. We will NOT believe anything AK says about "winning" until we actually see it! Shame on y'all for constantly disrespecting Bulls Nation! We deserve BETTER‼️
well top 4 = luxury tax according to him
so 6th in the east is the sweet spot for Jerry. "good enough" but not really.
all they care about is for the UC to be full and the merch to sell like hotcakes.
50 wins is enough to warrant a contender
You act like this team gone go from 39 wins to over 49 win next season after a retool or rebuild then you crazy 49 wins is progress and definitely a plus from 39 didn’t no team in the east besides Boston had more than 50 wins this season brah so if we get 49 wins next year with the roster we have then be grateful my boy
Speak on it! Watching OKC vs Pelicans. Exciting to see 2 younger teams compete at a high level. Real basketball. Not some thrown together mess. I know those young bulls try but they are just not in the same category with current NBA talent. Truthfully, half our guys need to be sent to the g league. Just saying.
Billy... Billy... Billy... that's all I needed to hear
Aye yo if they run this team back again eye promise eyema rewatch this interview 😂
I stopped watching the Bulls in late January , I only watched the play in game the other day . When I heard Jimmy Butler wasn’t going to play on Friday I had a feeling the Bulls would figure out a way to lose some how . Our owner is to cheap so we’ll never get back to the top .
Think about every answer AK gave regarding the outcome of the season. He avoided talking about Zach Lavine at every turn. Zach's contract vs his production is the proverbial ball and chain that has and is holding us back from being what we could be. Vuc & DeMar put their best foot forward, Ayo and Coby improved and AC was consistent outside of injuries. Pat showed major statistical improvements when Zach was out of the rotation. Drummond outplayed his contract. Billy showed major improvements in tight games and all of our young guys are developing.The we bottom line is Zach's contract and Lonzo's injury have been the two major issues along with Pat's injury. Lonzo can't do anything about his injury but try to recover. Pat showed that he has more to offer when he was healthy. Zach is gone this off-season and Vuc will likely be gone due to his age.
All-Star Lauri Markkanen was the future.
For Arthur, the most important thing is Fortune and success...
Dear Vice President Artūras Karnišova. Good luck and happiness in your work. We support you. Have a nice day....Thank you...♥
why change the front office when the fans are coming selling out the building...
This is the same fan base that booed Jerry Widow Wife. That what you need to know.
@@nathansippel6892 yes that was disqusting, but what does that have to do with building a team?
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Continued good luck...
We are lucky to have a great owner like Mr Jerry reinsdorf lucky to have Ak & Billy we will prevail Go Bulls
Donovan couldn’t win with Kansas City with the likes of Durant Westbrook and many other great players….
Didn’t Scott brooks coached does guys
We need some rim protection!! We gotta move vooch.. Keep Drummond N go get a mitchell Robinson type center.. Keep zach or demar.. One of them N replace who you let go with a defensive minded player.. N go Get a scorer off the bench
"To be in the top 6" tha's the goal to be the in the 6 top teams, not a championship just to be in the playoff checks...
Lol you just reaching to find something wrong with what he said, the man said numerous times that winning is his priority.
@@Diverse-rb4ps saying, & doing are to different things, he wants playoffs, not championshops
@@Diverse-rb4psIs this AKs burner account? What a stupid comment
@@Diverse-rb4ps We will see in the offseason if winning is the goal or not. I find the roster moves solid but they should have let Billy D go after last season
@@SuperPapaa1 he just said that they aren’t running it back and that there are changes that are going to happen, wtf can he “DO” right now? You don’t go from play in to championship contenders over night, wtf are you talking about.
New front office!!!!
Get rid of vooch! If u can't trade then bench him.
Need a new coach…..no timeouts again during Miami runs, just before half no timeout to draw up a play…instead get a 40 ft three pointer… o match up changes in a proactive fashion instead in a reactive mode..
The question I wanted to hear.....Why did you give Zach a max contract?
Exactly!?! He didn't warrant a MAX contract at the time at all it was pretty clear.
He did not resign Lauri Markkanen.
Bulls fans that keep going to games are the ones to blame
How about adding a fn pf for the first time in the last 4 years?!
Billy is back...boo
Of course he is do you really expect him to get fired why?
AK a fraud
So you don't blame fraudster Zach Lavine at all?
@@spaceghost8995why blame Zach? Are you saying you would take a big paycheck if it was offered?
@@spaceghost8995 How are you going to blame Zach when it was AK who gave him that contract
@@Mr.Perry33 Zach earned that contract but then he decided to quit playing. I'm not really a fan of AK but Lavine really dogged it after getting that money.
@@NikoStark1 I would take the contract and I would HONOR my contract . That's the difference between me and Lavine.
I don’t understand how 1 playoff win in 4 years makes Billy Donovan a “great coach”. I thought AK said he’s about results??
Totally agree….he is a terrible game situational coach
@@pjpj2639Billy Mr. 'imma play Caruso at the 4' all year! Terrible. Bitim shoulda been getting NBA minutes early in the season. Same with that center.
And beauty is important in sports, but not always. Looking at what your aspirations are. Until...💘💘💘
Poor team😢 Could not have done much when they had all their teeth knocked out in the first quarter.
Fire this Dude NOW!
Kyle Davidson gave a 40 minute end of season presser, AK couldn’t make 20 minutes. It’s unacceptable
FINALLY THEY ASKING ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS 😑
It's time. It's time to focus on the young guys, developing them, building thru draft, building a young core with your main 3 being coby white, ayo, and Patrick Williams. We draft ethier a wing or big in this year's draft.
I think also hire a coach that is focused on player development and that brings a defensive mindset or grit and grind type of style.
Preach🙏
Patrick Williams shouldn't be part of the core of our team.
@@PhilM4why shouldn't, because "fans" said the same thing about coby years ago. Its "fans" like you that keep good players from playing in chicago, and why we lost gafford, Wendell, and lauri.
@@Chikage773 🎯
Watcha trying to develop? Coby? He is better but still not a #1 option. Pat? We're still asking him to be aggressive. I guess 1 more year will finally help? 😂
And Terry, I'm convinced he is somebody's kid who is in the league because he knows someone in management. There's no way that kid should be in the NBA. No way. Blow dis ish UP!
IN AKME WE TRUST
They won’t win a championship while this guy is here or while the coach is here. Sad
First is billy Donovan is to go first to be fired he is not a cha.mship coach
Make changes on the coaching, please. So slow to read the game of opponent and slow on adjustments
This is a year to late should of make changes last year !!!
Tired of injuries to Patrick Williams and Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball!
I want the bulls to make changes, but not ones the mortgage our future. Keep our draft picks and either trade for future picks or young players only. No 34 year old Demar or Vooch trades.
Bulls need a real gm
Get Thibbs back to Chicago
I'm gonna say the absolute truth and you may not like it but it's the truth and AK or Billy Donovan will not say it out loud. The Bulls as an organization have had some misfortune and have decided it's not their fault and no need to do anything until contracts have subsided. Why? Because Lonzo Ball literally solves all of the Bulls problems. When Lonzo, Zach, Demar, Vooch, and Jevonte Green were all on the court together they were the 1st seed in the East, and after injuries finished 6th. Lonzo Ball was incredible ball distributor and was shooting 42% from 3pt and brought the defensive intensity with Caruso. The disparity in play with the Bulls with and without Lonzo changed everything.
in 22 Ball was out, Zach was hurt, Caruso was hurt, and Coby White was not evolved nor PWill
in 23 Ball was out, Zach was out, Caruso was hurt
So they don't wanna trade Zach for peanuts, and sign players when they're still paid 2 stars contracts with no production in return.
The Bulls management doesn't care, the fans pack the united center and business was good. Reinsdorf is happy with the coach and gm president
AK traded Lauri Markkanen. Stupid move.
GOOD MORNING BROTHERS AND SISTERS I'M JUST SAYING HELLO WE NEED TO TRADE NIKOLA NUMBER 9 THE MAN DON'T 👨 PLAY DEFENSE AT ALL AND HE DOESN'T PROTECT THE RIM OR TRY AND BLOCK THE OTHER TEAMS SHOT EVERYBODY WE PLAY THE CHICAGO BULLS EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS GOING TO THE HOLE WITH LAYUPS AND DUNK 👎 NIKOLA DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO BLOCK NOBODY SHOTS THAT'S CRAZY MAN STAY BLESS AND BEAR-DOWN 👍
So the Bulls found some quick success after reworking the roster 3 years ago and decided Billy D and his staff were IT and signed them for FOUR MORE YEARS... but didn't tell anybody. So the Bulls are now STUCK with 2 more years on those deals. Oops
You know coaches salaries are not included in the cap? They aren’t “stuck” with anything what are you talking about?
@@Diverse-rb4ps You do know that I mentioned the Bulls SAID NOTHING when they set up those extensions. What does that tell us? If they keep the staff then they are STUCK whether its not wanting to pay them to leave or are delusional thinking Billy D is going to 'turn it around'
Who wrote this opening statement?! Can't he just speak from the heart?!? This dude seems like a puppet for someone else in the org.... I honestly don't really think he is fully in charge. He feels good about the front office?!?! Seriously!?! WOW!
the lonzo ball trade...IS THE WORST TRADE IN SPORTING HISTORY💯💯💯
Letting marketen go was the worst.
They didn't even trade to get Lonzo...GO READ A BOOK"💯💯💯"
Horrible GM
Agree he traded the future for many old players and they didn’t win…..so now what
Billy is not coach
What are you doing out there KC Johnson?
This is on the garbage owner and the stupid fans buying tickets to watch mediocrity and accepting it. Next season we are running it back all those clowns will still buy tickets. We are in basketball purgatory with many years of failure to come
Get thibbs back
Pat gone demar gone Lavine gone and javon carter gone
The guy runs the team like the owners want him to Cheap and make as much money as possible
So in a whole we’re going to run it back with the same mediocor team… Sad i wish the ownership could be forced to sell this is sad…
AK has a tough job. You have to figure out an identity and style of play but, that comes with settling on your superstar to work off of. We don’t have a superstar player. We have very good players who are 3 to 5 options on a championship team. You cannot force teams to make deals. And you cant anticipate injuries. You also want continuity to build chemistry. Tough mufucken job. Caruso is nice to keep if you want to have a great defense and a team that communicates on D. But, he’s oft injured and a valuable asset for other teams. To build an offense around Lonzo is just not realistic cuz his surgery has never been done before and cannot trust he will remain on the court or the same player. DeMar will be to expensive to retain. He’s a tremendous locker room guy and as clutch as they get but, he’s nit a # 1 or 2 option on a championship team. I loved how LaVine played before he ended his season. He was moving the ball and not over dribbling like before and playing solid D. But, he’s a #3 option at best earning superstar $. Vuc doesn’t look happy with his role and is beginning his downside of career. If were gonna develop kids, then Billy is good for that. We need a legit superstar thats not old. We need an athletic big that defends and rebounds. After that, the pieces will be easier to put together.
He chose to not build though the draft... traded away all the young pieces....
@@i35photo Yeah because he had a vision with Lonzo, Vuc, Demar and LaVine. And it was working. 1st place in east til injuries. Now, he has to start a new team.
@@xart23x He went for the quick fix and got burned big time. Team should have been blown up 2 years ago... As usual always late to realize and make adjustments... Should have already traded the big pieces when there value was as there highest... Now probably not going to get much at all.
Style of play comes from the head coach & HIS STYLE OF PLAY... the Bulls don't have a style of play under Billy Donovan that's why they don't consistently play the same way from game to game... they're talented enough to beat anybody but so undisciplined that they can lose to anybody... Billy isn't the guy & if the GM doesn't see it he'll be out the door sooner than Billy
All I can do is laugh 😂😂😂😂😂
Where can I get a job that pays that much to absolutely nothing😂😂😂
Trade Zach, Vooch, and Caruso. Let DeMar walk in free agency. Get rid of Lonzo's contract. Build a roster around Ayo and Coby. Sign Nic Claxton, Isiah Hartenstein, and Kenyan Martin Jr in free agency. Re-sign Javonte Green. Move on from Patrick Williams.
Need to fire the coach all that talent and you guys never made the play off. Get real and evidently you guys is not learning and bill suck as a coach
Vuch soft
Fire him fire him now.
L
Trade Zach to Orlando for Isaac n a draft pick for this year draft. Trade Vooch for w/e. Draft a big. Would bring Demar back only if he accepts bench role n being the locker room glue like Thad was.
Coby
Ayo
Pat
Johnathan Isaac
??
Why would Demar take a bench role? You are on drugs, get some help.
@@PhilM4 😂 these mfs be saying anything.
We're running it back with the same unit
In translation I don't care if we're average
This dude is a clown. .but the team is owned by Reinsdorf.
As long as he runs the team, its over for thr Bulls.
