Arturis constantly holds onto his guys too long, refuses to sell high on anyone, and he has to learn from his mistakes, plain and simple.

I mean, what was the stat?

Like, four years in a row, the Bulls started the year 18-21.

That should be enough to get fired, just with that stat alone.

So...

If the Bulls were smart, if Arturis knew what he was doing, I think that you got to take a small step back this year to try to improve yourself for the future.

So I would make a couple moves.

The first one I would do, and it would be painful because he's been a great Chicago Bull and a great Chicagoan, but you got to trade Io DeSumo.

The guy is shooting 46% from three this year.

He's having the best season of his career.

He's probably in line to

double his salary in free agency i would expect him to get around mid-level exception money maybe 15 million dollars a year four for sixty so i'd be looking to trade io the team i'm looking at is potentially the portland trailblazers who they owe the bulls a lottery protected draft pick i would be trying to lower the protections on that pick maybe make it top four protected instead of top 14 protected take back matisse theibel who's expiring salary

Lock in that you're getting two draft picks in the first round in the 2026 draft.

So I think the Bulls never sell high on anyone.

This is a big opportunity for them to sell high on Io if they want to do it.

I like that deal.

Other guy who's got to go, Kobe White.

Colby, really good player for sure.

He's been a rare Bulls developmental success story.

But do you really want to pay him $24, $25 million a year when you're just a 500 team every single season without much upside?
