 What's what's the word y'all um quick quick video about the deadline, okay? Um, I promise you I'm gonna get you a video about the winners and losers of the deadline Shout out to the Maverick shout out to the Knicks who really dominated the deadline It was a it was not the best that line We got spoiled last year in a year before that regardless I'm gonna put the other video talking about all of those things and we're only two minutes outside the deadline Cory Joe just got traded so we got a few but buzzerbeats coming in I just screamed the last two hours of the draft of the deadline I'm I'm so upset and disappointed about my favorite team and over the last couple years I've been trying to balance the content, right? I've been trying to talk about the league at large and not let a bulk of my content be about my favorite team I have to now Because this is the second straight deadline Would have people up top sat on their hands and did nothing The Marta Rosen Expiring contract. Well, he had two years left on his deal last year. We should have traded them in I Love the Marta Rosen's game I'm thinking about the grand scheme of this team, right? The anything I say in this video is not a personal attack on these players or their basketball playing ability because these guys The Marta Rosen isn't a phenomenal basketball player But I'm thinking about the future of the Bulls the now of the Bulls in this this team, right? The Marta Rose should have been a guy that's been trading 34 years old last year of his contract The Bulls offered him an extension a few months ago. He didn't like the number and he still hasn't been trading So that tells me one of two things this offseason He's gonna walk for nothing or we're gonna overpay to keep the Marta Rosen on the team until he's 37 years old Right Alice Caruso is having a phenomenal phenomenal season He's one of the best defensive players in all of basketball and this year He's actually attempting to score the ball last year He was a super valuable asset to potentially be moved and that was before he was shooting 40% from three He has this year and next year on this contract Personally because I see that this team is destined for another 36 to 42 wins I am team even though we love Alice Caruso and trust me I do that we need to capitalize on the value because Alice Caruso being on this team in this moment of time It's not winning us a playoff series So let's trade him while he's at the peak of his powers while his market is at an all-time hot Do you know how many contenders called about Alice Caruso to be shut down in the last two weeks? We keeping them and The next year I'm just gonna assume based on the track record. We're gonna keep him in and he's gonna go He's gonna walk for nothing Or we're gonna overpay him I'm just I When this front off this new front office came in guard packs was gone boom I hated having guard packs as my general manager slats basketball operations guy They did a bunch of stuff that I hated. I dropped a whole disc track on on this YouTube channel I think Because I wanted them gone and they left and I'm like, yes We finally gonna have a savior of Chicago is Mark Eversley. It's our Tunis Carney show But they go come in they go right to ship boom immediately They trade for Nicola Vuceves. They trade window Carter the pic They became Franz Wagner and so on and so forth I in the moment of time enjoyed that trade because it was something that was Vucevich was coming off an all-star year. I was just excited for that trait We go get the martyr Rosa love it Lonzo ball love it Since then nothing has happened and The 2021 NBA season the 2021 2022 NBA season or maybe my years mixed up The Bulls went into the all-star break with the number one seed in basketball Lonzo ball is there the Bulls are hoping to murder roses at an all-star all-MBA caliber level again Everything is great. We have peak vibes But but under under the hood of this car that is Chicago Bulls. You're like, hmm This team is two and 13 against teams above 500. Should we worry about that? No, we good The vibes are great Lonzo ball goes down with his injury and now we fall down and we make the playoffs We lose in the first round next season come around they say hey, so it's gonna be good We gonna run it back and in this moment of time like cool There's always a crucial part of the team running the back. It's not a bad idea We run it back and things get dramatically worse. Lonzo ball is not coming back It's now been two full seasons two full years since we've seen Lonzo ball suit up and play basketball I'm shout out to Lonzo get well soon this team this Organization this ownership group and these people in the front office are are hoping to rekindle the fire that was 2021 2022 We are two full years away from that that streak where we were good against really bad teams And to see That not even the smallest asset drama is a player on this team that has been super valuable I've enjoyed drumming's time in Chicago Bull. I'm pretty sure he's not gonna be on the team next year I'm pretty sure that the 76ers that the Warriors that a couple different teams the Dallas Mavericks before they traded for Gafford we're calling about drum And instead of taking these calls and taking the best trade package for him He's gonna be on the roster for the rest of season again. It's not a tackle him because he's been phenomenal this year But he's also playing a lot better than the contract that he's being paid right now So the same thing I said about the mark either we're gonna overpay him this offseason to keep him around or he's gonna walk for nothing These people came into the front office. I'm sorry trades are still happening. I was soon so I'm just I'm just yeah Okay, just the last one was a second round pick for Corrie jump These guys came into the front office and and told us a ball face lie We will not accept mediocrity. You will not accept mediocrity. Okay. Okay I love that because the last front office pool was very okay with mediocrity. You're telling me that we won't accept that love I'm here for it. I In the last two years What team has been more mediocre than the Chicago Bulls more average than the Chicago Bulls It does not exist And we just walked into another deadline and did nothing The people in the front office have made one trade over the last two seasons one trade That's 30th in the league. The 29th team has done seven So there's a six trade gap between our front office in the second to last front office six trades And Kenny, what is the trade they did they traded two second round picks to get one second round pick And shout to Julian Phillips. I've been enjoying him play, but that is the deal that we've done like My job is to try to cover this sport in an entertaining matter and as objective as possible This team is making me not want to do that The team that that got me into loving the game of basketball that it has become my whole career One of the biggest things about who I am as a person is the Chicago Bulls in this team It's making me not want to do that, bro There I went on this a small rent a couple hours ago during the deadline About this front office and I feel like a broken record because this video I Made four or five years ago about the previous regime the previous regime is better than these guys better The one thing about the previous regime even though they also were okay with mediocrity at least they draft it well At least they brought in Jimmy Butler with the 30th overall pick at least they found Bobby Portis and the end of the first round At least they found this guy that guy they did things well This teammate these guys have not drafted well They have not put together really good trades The two good things that this front office has done is get Alice Caruso away from the Lakers Beautiful beautiful thing Alice Caruso again is a stud one of the best defensive players of basketball One of the most valuable pieces that was potentially being moved when he wasn't moved they get that all of the credit The second thing was bringing in Lonzo ball, right? These dudes cheat they got caught cheating to do that. So you got two really good moves Two really good moves and one of them the NBA told you you did illegally and four years Kobe white isn't running for most improved player. He's been killing the game That's not their pickup. They extended him. That's not their pickup. Think about that And and It all starts from up top this ownership group does not care They and people keep tweeting and me Kenny the bulls are top three in attendance Where y'all need to boycott and maybe that'll do something bro That doesn't matter you want to know why because the year that the bulls were 22 and 60 we were top three in attendance there They're not keeping this mediocre team together to sell tickets because it doesn't it doesn't matter what product They put on the court us bulls fans. We raffer our team. We're one of the biggest markets in the in the world So whether the team is winning seven games or 70 games the United Center is going to be packed I was a season ticket holder the year they won 22 out of 82 games. I Drove 40 minutes you nine a center doing a fucking blizzard because I love the bulls So the people that said oh, they're being mediocre to sell tickets. They're gonna sell tickets regardless So what is the other reason to be mediocre other than the front office is afraid to look like jackasses again? That's what they have. See you still look like it every other person in the NBA world is looking at the bulls like What are they doing? What are they doing this I don't understand it the first game of the NBA season happened in The team had a players only meeting That was the moment in time where you should have been like alright these next three months We're gonna evaluate our talent and figure out who we want to build with That was what I convinced myself you were doing No No, they want they want to be Danny ain't without putting in the work to be Danny ain't You have to accept the fact that the some of the trades you're gonna do you're gonna walk out as losers in the moment They want to trade all of their assets for seven first-round picks plus three competent players That's not the reality of the league, bro. Let's just not these two dudes Tim Connelly drafting Nicola Yolkic in our Tunis Carney solvus was there and now he runs my favorite team I'm about to go upstairs shower. I'm taking a trip to Milwaukee I'm going to watch Bucks versus Tim Bulls today And I'm not even gonna think about the bulls for the rest of the night But I had to get out this video and there's a lot that I ain't even say it But I had to get out this video Back to the normal schedule stuff starting tomorrow when we talk about the Knicks We talk about the Mavericks and we talk about some of the real people that made real moves I appreciate you for watching
