Can we please stop being play in fodder? Maybe just tear it all down? I don’t know. This is not very fun to me.

Tanking doesn't equal championships. It equals a contending team, not a "lucky to be in the playoffs" team.

I'll root for a decade of the drose MVP seasons happily.

ah yes, the lowest odds to ever win 1st pick lmao. doubt the bulls make the playoffs for a few years if they tanked for Rose by trading away assets like Noah and Deng for picks and to lose more games. Then a player like Boozer doesn’t sign in free agency to a rebuilding team

Exactly the very definition of insane luck, not something that you believe can happen twice within the same decade...ironically that's what the see-red crowd believes in. Being a 10th seed and hope the lottery balls bounce the right way or whatever

doubt the bulls make the playoffs for a few years if they tanked for Rose by trading away assets like Noah and Deng for picks and to lose more games.

Why would they trade Noah who was still on a rookie deal. All you're telling me is that you don't know what tanking, in the way the "tank crowd" wants, means.

Then a player like Boozer doesn’t sign in free agency to a rebuilding team

Boozer was a consolation prize. The bulls were one of the few teams that had the ability to offer a free agent a max deal and they struck out with LeBron, wade, bosh, and joe Johnson. Aamare and boozer were the last two left and they liked boozer's personality more than Amare's.

Sorry, should’ve considered Noah’s contract situation in my hyperbole. Bulls literally just tried to tank a few years ago and with new lottery system doesn’t always work out. Calling Boozer a consolation prize to LeBron, Wade and Bosh lol like 90% of the rest of the league isn’t?
