Bulls offseason Thread

Essentially were bringing the same team back, I don't know man. The Cavs were shorthamded, now there reloading and they aren't even done yet. We'll see what this Fred Hoiberg offense is about.
 
I'm optimistic about the offense because Thibs offense wasn't all that great. 

Hoiberg has turned low level tier players into a great efficient offensive team. Imagine what he could do with the Bulls players if they all buy into the system. 

I know for sure, we'll see a lot of 3 balls and inside penetration. Mid-range would almost be non-existent with this offense. 

Warriors played the same way. Every one moves on offense and the ball moves on offense, either take the 3 or take it in the paint. Those are the Warriors offense. 

Not saying Bulls are the next Warriors, but Hoiberg offense is similar to that of the Warriors. 
 
I'm not mad about keeping the team as is. At least there won't be much of a learning curve inside of 2k16 hahaha. But in all seriousness all we need is a healthy squad and we can match up with everyone. Excited to see Toney and Douggies development.
 
Im optimistic, as always...

  We're probably gonna see a different starting line up that Thibodeau was using. 

From the offense of hoiberg, either Pau or Noah is coming off the bench. 
 
Our options were slim, glad we kept the majority of the team together considering NOBODY is trading for Taj or Noah right now.

It would/'ve been nice to upgrade the SF position but I think Doug/Snell should improve this season.

Brooks played well last season when he was called upon, he earned another year IMO. Make sure he gets all of Kirk's minutes this season.

Do we still have our MLE? :nerd: .. Not sure if the deals for MDJ/Kirk/AB ate into that or not :nerd: ... would be nice to add another piece to the puzzle if we haven't used it.
 
ill be in here only for the foreseeable future since im blocked out of the nba thread by m&m.... but let me not say that before im banned in here too for telling too much truth or some other crap they will conjure up ......


glad we got brooks back even tho he did a rousing kyle korver impersonation during the cav series

wonder what else they have up the sleeve before this kicks off.....

I believe they still have the MLE. Kirk picked up his player option so he'll be going into the luxury tax.  As for MDJ, AB and with Portis being signed, I *THINK* they still got their MLE. Maybe Gerald Green would like to play for the Bulls since he's still free..

I don't think 3rd year players tend to run SL.  So he's possibly just practicing at the facility. 
 
The Bulls begin play on July 11 against first overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves at 5:30 p.m. CT. They'll then square off against the Toronto Raptors on July 12 at 5 p.m. CT, followed by a date with the Brooklyn Nets on July 14 at 4 p.m. After those three preliminary games the Bulls will be seeded in a 24-team tournament to determine the champion on July 20. Each team is guaranteed at least five games.

Here's a look at the Bulls Summer League roster.

A Chicago native, Williams averaged 18.5 points and 12.4 rebounds in 32 games for the Division II Lions.
 
Yes pretty sure 3rd year players don't play for any team, moreso ones that had a very good summer the year before. snell would be smart to be working out with jimmy.
