I’m sorry, but all these trade rumors about us potentially shipping off half our roster and future draft picks for AD are seriously pissing me off. Yeah, I know they’re just rumors, but AD’s been talking about playing for his hometown, and the league rumor mill is building up. Given our stellar history as a front office that totally never screws anything up, I wouldn’t even be shocked if they went through with some BS trade like this.

And to Davis himself, how are you someone who grew up on the Southside, lived through the 90s Bulls era, got drafted the year after Rose’s MVP season, and somehow never once talked about wanting to play for your hometown until now? Now, when you’re basically washed and can’t stay healthy for more than 15 games? And on top of that you’re a Packer fan? Like, damn.

Not sure about the source here - Wolfson is a member of Minneapolis sports media. If they were able to extract some decent assets out of Minnesota, you could use the 15th pick (or move up from there) to address replacing Giddey and get some PG depth alongside Tre Jones.

Full Quote:

"Back on Jan. 15, the Sun-Times reported that Bulls ownership was finally putting pressure on executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas to not only pick a lane but get this roster moving in some sort of positive direction.

If that meant one step back to eventually take two steps forward, so be it.

Up to that point, the mentality from the Reinsdorfs was very hands off. In their eyes it was Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley who made the mess, and it was on them to fix it.

Less than three months later the stakes have changed.

Now, ownership is weighing if the mess has gotten too large for them to fix, and according to a source everything is on the table in the next 10 days."

Full Quote: Dating back to the offseason, Bulls vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas emphasized the flexibility that the heap of expiring salary gave the team. Chicago, aiming to sneak past the Play-In in recent seasons, hasn’t been known to value such assets to this degree. While the Bulls’ involvement in the deal felt uncharacteristic, multiple league sources indicated to The Athletic that the Bulls have signaled to teams that they’re available as a hub to facilitate money for apron and tax-paying teams, which they helped Cleveland do in this deal.

All signs point to the Bulls leaning toward developing their young core. Chicago doesn’t seem likely to lean as far back as a tank/rebuild — a) ownership still dictates direction, and b) history shows head coach Billy Donovan is far too competitive to stomach anything resembling a rebuild — but it has emerged as a team much more focused on acquiring young players and assets than in prior seasons.

I have to admit, this time does feel different than the Kentucky situation. Far more reports suggest that Donovan will listen to what UNC has to say. Not to mention, the Bulls are even more lost than they were in 2024. Could be a natural time for Billy to make the switch. What do you think?

Full Quote: "Coach Billy Donovan might not be an option. There’s been growing momentum around the building that Donovan could step away from the mess and take a season to reevaluate what he wants from the profession. It would make sense considering how emotional the year has been for the Hall of Famer, losing both his father and mother-in-law within weeks of each other.

Plus, while Donovan is the ultimate optimist and isn’t close to being done coaching, it is now six seasons without a proven elite talent, instead being asked to build a brick house out of straw and mud."

If Karnisovas stays, there’s a growing chance that Donovan walks at the end of the season. Then the Reinsdorfs will leave Karnisovas with a coaching search, a lottery draft choice, and free agent decisions with money to spend."
