Sorry to hear about the Bulls. I love rooting for the Bulls when they're good, but don't love the sport enough to ride out the dark times like I do for the Bears. Sounds like it has been just as bad, if not worse, over the same time period.
Free agency will tell us a lot. I think it's pretty clear they will go after 2 OL starters. Hopefully Trey Smith, but my prediction is Dalman and Becton. That alone is not enough to be a significant jump, which is why pick 10 will be used on OL as well.
Still have plenty of money in FA, and with the Montez and Dennis Allen ties to Chase Young, I would guess we bring him in. I have always liked Young, and at 25 years old I am more than happy to take him. Most Edge rushers haven't hit their prime at that age, but somehow it feels like Chase Young is a 15 year veteran. Would love to see him become elite in a Bears uniform. This move would allow some flexibility with the 2nd rounders. Most likely a DT with one of them. Would love another OL pick there as well, but would be happy with BPA. Even if we get Trey Smith and Dalman (dream FA), I don't think I want Jeanty at 10. He would be exciting, but lets address the needs first.
The Bulls situation has been worse because there's never been a clear path out. The Bears have had great players and top-5 picks, the Bulls have not. The Bears are better at at least tricking the fan base into thinking success around the corner. Bulls fandom is just the last stage of grief, acceptance, day after day.
Love the thought process on the Bears needs, but I'm out on Chase Young. Going to take a note from the old heads here: Never go after a guy that teams love parting ways with.
Criticizing Grandma Mary wasn't against Family Code IT IS AGAINST FAMILY CODE!
Virginia McCaskey was by all accounts a great person. She just, unfortunately, raised sons who were a shadow of her father and not capable of carrying on the Family Legacy.
I did not see that the Bulls resigned Lonzo Ball. The lunacy continues. He missed three seasons!!! He owes us $60M.
It is sad that I have not seen an NBA game all year and guaranteed I will not after LeBron manufactured his new sidekick again.
When Lavine was on, he was something special to watch. I think Arturas ruined him by pairing him with DeMar "pound the ball" DeRozan. Amazing that the Sacramento apparently wasn't watching.
Totally Agree on Miles Garrett. We need good established younger OLineman or two in free agency and the same for DLine sprinkled with some nice draft picks.

Never forget when the Bulls were 26-10 in 2021!
Then, Lonzo......
The hilarity is that our own front office even points to this.
GarPax was "when Derrick got hurt..." seven years after. AKME is "when Lonzo got hurt," which is just as absurd two or three or four years later.

I'm going to petition to get DeMar "pound the ball" DeRozan on his basketball reference page on "nicknames."
