Column: Many sports teams in Chicago seem vaguely familiar on Groundhog Day

This is the Groundhog Day, the right time to investigate the latest developments of Chicago, the city of comprehensive reconstruction.

We wake up thinking that it is a different day and a different twist in the “process”, but soon realizes that we can return in 1999, or 2012, or 2016, but some for our local teams Major rebuilding years.

At the last glance, BlackHox and White Sox were still in the early stages of their reconstruction, while the bulls were stuck in the reconstruction of reconstruction, waiting for Zach Lavin’s business to kick things. Sky began his reconstruction in 2022 by allowing the Point Guard Courtney Wanderslut to leave, and is still in the same position as he re -signed the Wanderslut on Saturday.

So what is new?

Nothing, starts with white sox.

Nobody expected that SOX would cost a spending to spend this offsen, but to fill so many holes and some possibilities are ready to fill them, you would have thought that the record 121-loss season.

But White Sox General Manager Chris Gatez said that last week he did it with “heavily lifting” for Offsen, which worries us about his weight-training.

SOX signed five free agents for major league contracts, four of which are 30 or older, and all are on deals in one year. Heavy lifting was apparently performed during the Ace Garat Crocket’s deal in Boston for four possibilities, which could pay Boston in a long time contrary to the Chris Sale’s deal, which began the final Sox rebuilding in ’16 Was.

But the SOX fans will once again have to wait for the cosmic “next step” to the SOX fans until the cater kicel tils the team from the spring training. Teel crochet was one of the two main acquisitions in business, as well as with outfielder Braden Montgomery, which gives data for spending most of the seasons in Double-A Birmingham. Both require success in Chicago for the deal to pay.

According to Spotrac.com, the 26-man roster of the SOX projects for a payroll of $ 53.3 million, which is above $ 29.4 million in large companies and only Miami Marlins. If they trade Luis Roberts Junior and their $ 15 million salary, they will be in the Marlins region.

So is SOX also trying to win in 2025?

“You know, we are definitely, and I’m sure Will (Veneble) can resonate it, we are trying to win baseball games,” Gatez told reporters last week. “We are. I think we all know that winning is part of the development process. Now, with a young developing roster, there are moments where you have to take one step back and big picture, long -term, Think about long periods, what is the best for them to reach their roof as players. ”

The “big picture” is the process of thinking that every team’s executive has tension in every reconstruction including blackhox.

Last year, Hawks fans were on board with defeat since the 2023-24 season, all about the development of Connor Bedard.

But veterans Tyler Burtuzi, Tavo Terrevinn, Alec Martinez, TJ Body and Pat Marun had to pursue rapidly for reconstruction. Long Story Short: It was not, with a record of 8–16-2 with coach Luke Richardson firing and the promotion of Rockford Coach Anders Sorensen.

Worship said before his first game on 8 December that Hawks needs to improve one 1% every day: “If it is 1% per day, it is more than 30 days more than 30%. We are trying to get it. It has now been two months, and Hawks are 8–15–3 under 5–1 in Florida on Saturday.

I am not a mathematics head, but it is not close to 60% improvement.

Only Burtuzi is close to living for expectations, and Hawks entered with 37 points on Saturday, second from below in league standing, only 36 of San Jose.

“Do I expected we would be better than the other (from)?

Davidson carried forward the Taylor Hall on Carolina in a three-team deal last week, obtained a third round pick for a player, acquired with great promotion with Nick Follingo from Boston to Nick Foligno in summer of 2023. But injuries and ineffectiveness led to a low ice time for one -time heart trophy winner, and a stunning bench by Richardson early this season.

“They are on a different timeline than my career, so I get it, I understand it,” the hall told Writors Beat Writers in Carolina last week. “I wanted to play more. I am definitely a better player than the zodiac I was playing. ,

It remains to be seen. Either way, the hall trade may indicate the start of a mini-fire sale before the trading deadline of March 7, which is expected to be made available with Ryan Donato and Seth Jones. It is suspected that he can dump Jones’ contract, but Davidson has to make 1% effort every day for reconstruction, which is expected to improve the possibility of 30% from the trading deadline.

Talking about the deadline, the bulls are returned to the familiar play-in region as they are ready for Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. They are allegedly hanging Lavin and no one is named Matas Buzelis, the miscreant, who was the best game on Friday in a 122–106 victory in Toronto.

Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Artras Kernivus has not made a time limit in the last three sessions, but four years ago there are very few options to move something to move a franchise since the original knee injury of Lonjo Ball four years ago. .

The ball, whose endurance, has been impressive with additional minutes, may be the best available business piece, although the center can bring more in turn, which is motivated to play for a claimant.

The Carvious cannot stop a true reconstruction until Lavin is traded, but after two sessions of rumors, fans of Bulls will believe that when they see it.

Sky’s fans are happy about the return of the vendorslut, but still requires scoring with the decision not to give a qualification motion for Chendy Carter. Vandersloot averaged 6.4 points per game with New York Liberty last year and is not going to return the watch.

Akash finished second-to-time in WNBA scoring last season, and may not be dependent on Angel Reese to be much higher than a defensive stallwart. Reese was the lowest skilled player in the WNBA around the Rim in his fraudulent season, shooting 44.5% inside the restricted field. Even with a slight improvement scoring-wise, the reese will probably not be effective enough to pursue reconstruction rapidly. And like Sax, the sky is not expected to take out for free agents of any big name.

“Patience, as usual, will be a buzzword with” Big Picture “for the architects of Chicago reconstruction.

We can still imagine a day when there are no more reconstructions to wait.

But on this special groundhoch day, it is still a dream.
