McDermot, Mirotic, Butler, and Portis exceed expectations and make this a fun team to watch. Led by Grant and a flashy rookie guard, the Bulls spread the floor and play Hoiball with better balance.

I'm saying 27-55. At least it will be fun watching Jimmy put up points.

As currently constructed 30-40 is probably about right. We have considerable "basketball" talent, with two college players of the year, Butler, Mirotic, and a steal in Portis.
Maybe we keep Gibson as solid depth, as I think his basketball experience probably is higher than his trade value. He is also best friends with Jimmy, and as of right now, is our starting PF until someone younger can beat him out.
Valentine-Butler-Mirotic-Portis-Lopez could actually give teams a bit of trouble with length and passing if they just play basketball together. A PG like Valentine goes a long way toward team basketball, then Rose who lost his team and his leadership, was playing some kind of my turn your turn bullshit and we seemed completely disconnected except for that brief stretch of 100 point games where we seemed like a team with good chemistry.
I think we need to make predictions on Day 1 of the season. I think these guys could win 40 if Lopez's +/- equals what Gasol gave us.
Valentine for Rose to me is an upgrade. He can immediately not shoot stupid 3's, get his teammates involved, and while his on ball defense will not be as good, his team defense can be better with his length.
Valentine also will have the respect of his compadres. The weight of Rose baggage was starting to feel like pulling a plow, and the uncompetivie demeanor was just vomit worthy.
I defended Rose to the end, I think the Knicks can get something out of him, but I gave up on thinking we would be able to spark his competitive nature in Chicago ever again.

Dead last in the division. This team pretty much sucks. They are never going to win anything that matters realistically until new leadership is in place.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they were bad enough to land a top 5 draft pick next season.
There are only a few teams next season that look like they will almost definitely be worse than the Bulls: Sixers, Nets, Lakers, Suns.

I would be shocked if they were that bad. The team will not have a tanking mentality. They'll find a way to win more games than they should and land themselves in the late lotto.

With all the shit Pau Gasol got last year, people don't realize that he was a stabilizing force. Rose was the Bulls' third best player and he was a moderately stabilizing force too. Both were good enough players to keep this team with the talent level to win games. With both of them gone, this team is done playing even .500 basketball.
The days of "surpassing expectations" died the day Thibodeau was idiotically replaced with a novice.
