Huh seems bad for the egomaniacal blogger type ::raises hand::

Learned why Noa Essengue isn't playing but fellow Bulls legend Adam Mokoka is

The context of Fischer's reporting, and questions of how Giddey actually would fit with the Warriors, does make me wonder if this 'interest' is actually instead wish-casting from Kuminga's camp

Josh Giddey tries to generate leverage against team that doesn't understand the word a restricted free agency update, which by its nature is not much

Up at BlogABull - we had a morsel of a Josh Giddey rumor late yesterday

Josh Giddey tries to generate leverage against team that doesn't understand the word a restricted free agency update, which by its nature is not much

went off and blogged it

thanks! and it's posted on YouTube now youtu.be/H0MbAabhiF4

I am dubious with how serious the interest is if the Bulls won't come up on their offer - maybe it's around the same AAV$ as the ~$20M the Bulls are at

but this is at least SOMETHING as to an actual Giddey market

Really? I'm gonna need some aggregators to transcribe, this would be juicy rumor as it's the first instance of another team being interested in Giddey

If they were 'all in' on flexibility they wouldn't have $50M in 2026 tied up in role players (Williams, Jones, Okoro, Smith)

I do agree that they are not all in on 'nothing', they are all in on trying for home playoff games (and failing)

'all in' and 'flexibility' are antithetical concepts!

If I have to hear one more time about their cap flexibility as a positive...

They have flexibility because they have no good players under contract! That's not a good thing! We've gone through how many '20XX plan' iterations and still the interpretation is 'wait and see'?

This is how I feel listening to Will Gottlieb defend (while saying he's not) AKME

Worth noting: zero reported interest in signing Josh Giddey

your friendly BullsBlogger (@blogabull) Roster snapshot of the day: Atlanta Hawks Great offseason! If only for getting that 2026 unprotected first from Joe Dumars, an gift the Bulls turned down. If this team doesn’t escape the play-in t...

this was a fun roster snapshot: Atlanta Hawks

not taking into account contract or tanking ambitions:

Jazz
Wizards
Mavericks (w/o Kyrie)
Bucks
Nets
Pelicans

I get that we're starved for content* but a more practical ranking is 'what teams would prefer Josh Giddey this season over their current offensive engine-starter or whatever?'

*could, ya know, just not podcast for a while if nothing is worth talking about?

your friendly BullsBlogger (@blogabull) Took a break but we’re back at it with Roster Snapshots in these summer transaction doldrums The Wizards! A proper rebuild still in the teardown and asset accumulation phase. Unlike the Bulls they…a...

Jumped divisions for my next roster snapshot: the Wizards, they had an interesting summer and unlike the Bulls are doing the teardown part of their rebuild correctly. May not work out, but it's not working out for the Bulls either.

wow that must be why half the league is looking for an upgrade at the position and are rumored to be interested in Josh Giddey

www.blogabull.com/p/a-history-...

thought exercise: could the Bulls put together a good trade package and retain some pieces for a Giannis-led team?

and then recognize that Josh Giddey is neither 1) desired trade return 2) a good fit with Giannis

...puts his 'market' into more practical focus than the scary apron

Hey I think I'll like this new guy covering the Bulls

Clearly not thinking like the Bulls, you didn't mention "our record since the All-Star break when everyone was resting or tanking" once!

Ha the video contribution from Dave McMenamin is "sell the team"

Bulls 11th, behind Toronto but ahead of the Celtics. Just need one of Mil/Phi/Ind to 'gap year' and we're back in the play-in, baby

Eye popping stats in there to check out:

Bulls remind everyone: we are not competitive objective observers: this is a major offseason for Chicago | Bulls: lol, lmao even

While the Billy Donovan extension is breaking news, it was long reported to be nearing done and assumed given the general inertia of the franchise

Wrote about it then:

open.substack.com/pub/blogabul...

Billy Donovan is a Hall of Famer* and so doesn't need to care about legacy. And if thinking things through, he will be locked in when the AKME era is mercy-killed and can talk The Bulls into promoting him and his son as replacements, that is true legacy!

*so is Jerry Reinsdorf...

Billy with that "going for the 9th seed" face
