Is this Bulls team the worst in its 50 years?

[slightly biased bias fan]

They have been truely horrendous this season and looking at their roster, there is no mystery why. I was curious when was the last time Bulls had such a lack of talent...and I couldn't find a year. During the post Jordan era they had some talented guys in Brand, Artest, Crawford, Curry (lazy but talented), Chandler and Jaylen Rose. That period was a real struggle for the team but the team was much more talented. If you go back to pre Jordan from 60's - 80's they only won less than 30 game 4 times (1967/29, 1975/24, 1982/28, 1983/27).

I would feel disgusted if I was a Bulls fan about how bad this roster has been put together, I know they are rebuilding but this roster resembles the Sam Hinkie level stinkage for a proud franchise this is going to be a long season.

The '99 Bulls post Jordan/Pippen/Jackson. They had Kukoc, old Harper, and that was about it. 13-37, good for a 21-win pace.

But at least that team had an excuse.

Yes that's true but given this team looks like it has nothing that resembles Kukoc level talent, i'd have to say this seasons team is worse (perhaps deeper though).

Agree to disagree. Zach Lavine could be something special (though he hasn't played), and Lauri Markaanen looks promising.

Two good players amongst a pile of trash.

Its an awful team. Will be lucky to win 20 games and will take multiple years to turn into a winner

Now that I agree with.

I'm just saying that the first year of post-Jordan Bulls is in the conversation for worst Bulls team ever.

This team could easily finish with the worst record in the league. They're terrible.

But Bulls fans have some things to look forward to. A likely top pick in a top heavy draft, Markkanen looks good early, Zach Lavine is a dynamic player who's still only 22 years old and he'll be back at some point, Kris Dunn might yet prove to be a competent NBA starter.

It could be worse.
