Ben Verlander

He's under contract next season for $8 million.

You got to get a good first round pick back for him.

Same thing with Trey Jones, who's on one of the team-friendliest deals in the NBA.

That's a rare Arturo success story right there, getting him at $8 million a year for three years.

So sure, I'll trade those guys, but you've got to get legit assets back for them.

But I mean, the reality...

of the matter is that the bulls are basically the worst team in the nba that tries to win and this has been the case for like five straight years going back to the jimmy butler trade this is now nine nine seasons since the bulls traded jimmy butler they're the fifth worst team in the nba since they traded jimmy butler they've had one top five pick over that time so they haven't gotten any lottery luck they also haven't really put themselves in position to get lucky just

An absolutely horrible job by Arturis Karnaschovas.

You guys asked me for my plan if I was running the Bulls front office.

I gave it to you, but from an ownership level, the first move should be firing Arturis Karnaschovas.

He absolutely does not deserve to keep his job.

Yeah, I was at that Bulls-Lakers game, too, and seeing the United Center crowd cheer for LeBron after all of his dunks, I'm like, how far has this fallen?

Joakim Noah was in a skybox.

I kept staring up at Noah.

Noah looked disgusted that the United Center was cheering for LeBron.

He's a forever hater.

That brought some joy to me.

Yeah, I actually love the Bears comparison here because while Ryan Poles has certainly made a lot of mistakes in the draft and free agency or whatever, he did a really good job with the teardown.

And that is what Arturis has been totally unable to do.

Like, he was in a pretty good position to tear it down with DeRozan, Levine, Caruso, Lonzo.
