They don’t want to bottom out, because they don’t want the pressure that comes from being really bad. They don’t want to go all in, because they don’t want the pressure of expectations.
So they live in this gray area where they spin any result as part of their big picture plan.
I don't see the problem. Does that not make you want to spend $150 on good seats at the UC? Personally I love teams without expectations or goals, just vibing and seeing where the sport takes them next.
again, this should only be last resort and they don't have to do it until training camp, but extremely easy to gain two roster spots
Jevon Carter - I think they like having him in the locker room, but you don't need that from him AND Lonzo Ball. But if they want to do right by him (for taking their money?) just trade him back to the Bucks for a traded player exception. Bucks are under the apron and have a TPE big enough. He will get playing time there and on a better team.
Dalen Terry - just cut him. I couldn't think of a team where they'd use a roster spot on him. Most teams have 2-4 spots dedicated to projects like Terry, who aren't making >$5M and already a bust. If you really believe in him that much, sign him to a two-way deal
this removes some expiring contracts to use in trades midseason, but as we know the Bulls aren't keen on that anyway and they have a ton elsewhere (Ball, Vuc, Ayo, Collins, Huerter) if they change their mind, plus unlike Carter and Terry those players are actually potentially useful
AKME are not good with press conferences. They have no communication skills. Why would they say they are bringing everyone back. Hopefully that is not true.
Thank god that player evaluation and roster building are separate skills. I hope they are better behind the scenes than they are at the podium.
The front office is very transparent.

yeah I kept forgetting to put this in the post, but Eversley had this quote:
"when you set timelines, that raises expectations and can lead to mistakes"

I'm going to include that line in my next annual performance review, and my boss will laugh at me because she's not an idiot failson.

Its an extra low bar, but ME sounds a lot smarter than AK
