It is strange that it seems everybody wants out of Chicago ASAP. LeBron, Wade and Bosh wanted nothing to do with that team, and their former players (Jordan, Pippen, etc) don't seem to have much of a connection with the team either.
Sons let's be honest I think the Bulls will be a .500 or so team until Rose comes back.
They let their vaunted bench mob go - Watson and Brewer for nothing (and the former picked up by the Nets for the minimum!), and essentially swapping Korver for Radmanovic. They also likely won't match Asik (Morey) so their only bench players of worth are Gibson and Butler. While their current starters are good enough, and Thibs is an excellent regular season coach, I doubt they'll produce enough offense to go with their D.

Jerry Reinsdorf should be on the list of crappy NBA owners, tbh... lucked into getting Jordan
Not going to be .500. They won't be much better though since they didn't get a replacement PG. They did decent when Rose was out during the season, but it was for a short stretch.
The east is a ty conference full of teams that annually tank to get better draft position. You don't have to be very good to be .500 in that conference since half of it basically isn't even trying.
It isn't strange. The Bulls are the cheapest team in the NBA.
They have the largest profit margin (based on %) in the NBA, and one of the largest gross incomes, yet they have frequently tried to hover around the regular salary cap and pretend like they don't want to waste money. It isn't about wasting, the owner just doesn't want to spend it.
He's also a known bag. You should've read the about his meetings with LeBron. He literally threw a fit outside of a building because he had to wait outside for a few minutes for someone to open the door for him. He thinks he's a fuedal lord or some .
I would be dumbfounded if anybody wanted to play for that asshole unless they were either born there/drafted to the team, or simply just got a larger offer there than they'd get elsewhere. The owner is a huge prick. And a known tightass. Sort of like the Cubs owner too, though he's more of a tightass and less of a prick than Reinsdork.
People want to play for the Clippers these days. Del Negro sucks as a coach, but he may have a future as an FO man.
