Maybe the White Sox is a better comp.

That even if you didn't expect the White Sox to be good this year, they left open the possibility that they could be good this year.

If some of these guys...

You know, the 12 guys that have had Major League debuts for the White Sox this year, if they were to blossom, many of them have.

Many of them, at the very least, have contributed.

So I think that that's a fair comparison.

But yeah, they're really... It's impossible to know right now.

And when he says...

A team that is going to compete right away and we're going to hustle and we're going to follow rules and we're going to have a good system and all that.

It sounds like a bad team that tries really hard, which is probably what you can expect from the Bulls team this year.

I mean, that's the realistic, that's the realism.

And again, I leave open that little possibility that they could be a revelation and surprise people.

And, you know, if you draft Caleb Wilson, he's a revelation and he's great.

And he's Kevin Garnett right out of the gate.

Wow.

Kevin Garnett out of the gate is quite the statement.

Kevin Garnett in three to four years, that's probably what's more likely to happen.

If that's the floor or ceiling, depending on who you ask.

You're responsible for him.

I love how when someone says something terrible or something that can be highly questioned, he's my guy.
