Matt Spiegel is optimistic about the Bulls taking steps toward a youth movement, but Danny Parkins can't get over the awful spot the team still finds itself in.

00:00If you're a team like the Knicks, or the Thunder, or the Sixers,
00:04it's been a very exciting 48 hours to you. You're a contender, you're on the come,
00:09you're building, you have aspirations, all those sort of things. If you're a team like the Bulls,
00:14I find these last 48 hours to be much more conflicting, personally.
00:20See, we're in different spots.
00:21We are in naturally different spots about this.
00:24Yeah, we really are, because we talked about it in advance of the draft,
00:27and I remember I said something like, this could be a monumental night, because I was thinking that
00:31maybe they could trade Zach, and they'll get whatever they draft, and it'll be clear what
00:35they're doing. And that wasn't, but like, we seem to be in the midst of finally the pivot,
00:41dude. It's happening. They're going very, very young. They've admitted that this core
00:46doesn't work, and they're not going to sit around and wait for Lonzo Ball anymore.
00:50They're actually changing things up, and I expect Amar to be gone. I hope that Zach will be gone.
00:57It's possible that Vuch will be gone, and I know it'll be a long, ugly road, but they're
01:01prioritizing 2025, which is a loaded draft, and hopefully they're going to be bad enough to keep
01:06their pick and not have it confer over to San Antonio, and I celebrate this. So to me, I do
01:11feel some excitement and some optimism at what they're doing.
01:14And that is well stated. I admire your ability to get there so quickly.
01:20This is a, dude, this is really bad in terms of the NBA. You don't have that many assets,
01:29and draft picks are not that valuable unless you've got a top pick that also, which is,
01:35you get by luck because it's a lottery, and it has to be in a great year. It's really hard.
01:41So you've got to make sure that the things that you have that have value,
01:46you either win with them or you sell high on them in order to keep stockpiling your assets.
