http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Nikola-Mirotic-5134/ This was a nice silver lining to the day. Love that he hustles so hard and tries on D. I feel like his strength will improve with US weight room...? Does that sound reasonable?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 11:14 PM) Hypothetically, you can play Mirotic at the 3. Not sure if he has the lateral quickness to guard smaller wings though. But his length would be great at the position. Against certain match ups, sure, but I don't see him as a consistent starter at the 3

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 12:11 AM) They as in the Bulls or they as in the Suns? Not sure why the Suns would do that. The suns. I don't know either. I'm just grasping for something to dream about. 3 way trade for rondo to suns, Dragic to bulls, and Ainge just does us a solid and sacrifices Kirk to the Celtic gods.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 10:52 PM) 3 years, $17 million Basically what would have been full MLE

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 10:28 PM) I think Nikola is going to sign dirt cheap. Still, thef***'s starting at the 3? Dunleavy...or Jimmy if we are allowed to simulate summer league snell for real games, like a handicap. I don't know how you could fault DJ, this could be his best shot s&t big payday. Maybe would like Brooks as Pg at min. Or trade Jimmy for Dragic, two pg backcourt But they would never.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 09:59 PM) first the stupidity of this post is too much, no one, I mean no one is introducing race into the conversation except you...... I am a minority and never once did I mention race. you are then mixing apples with oranges Rodon is a college drafted player and there fore limited with slot allotted money and is in no way a free agent where is the sox org wanted to can walk away. where does the idea of " If Rodon was a Cuban what do you think the bidding would reach?" came from. RE TEX.... also with your comment, again apples and oranges...... jesssss can anyone stick to the what is said without taking liberties. I'm pretty sure he means if he was not subject to the draft slot protocols (like Cuban free agents) and was openly bid on how much would he get, and the answer would be...a ton more.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 08:09 PM) even after the bulls do the amnesty on boozer? That puts them under the cap, which will be used for Gasol/mirotic.

These jerseys are terrible.

Also...I don't think the bulls have anymore money after Gasol/mirotic. So would need to be a trade. Still hoping for Burks but there is absolutely no smoke there. But Kirk! Kirk will be here don't worry.

As long as we keep posthummus.

Pierce signs for midlevel.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 02:32 AM) Tony Snell was great. Watching Posthumos was funny. No kidding. Posthummus was maybe the most hilariously bad player I've seen.

Well game over. Snell was incredible. Bairstow defensively looks great. Doug looked pretty slow out of control and off. So hopefully he gets better. Rest were garbage save some PG from Canisius. He was dope as hell.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 01:26 AM) Is this on TV? No I actually paid $5 for this crap. Watching thru NBA summer league app.

Mcd is rebounding just fine. Snell looksgreat. But one on one d for Doug is kinda rough.

Whoa delonte west sighting.

Is Malcolm Thomas back?

what does that even mean.

Is there a place to watch Dash games online?

regardless I'm watching summer league tonight with a big tub of ice cream and blasting brian mcknight.

think he can get 30 before AS break? edit: I realize the question is asking people if they think he can hit a home run tomorrow, but I love this man and would love to see a big round number next to his name when announced.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 11:04 PM) Is Gasol a better defender than Boozer? Or tell me why is older Gasol a better option than Boozer? Come on, have you ever watched Gasol play? He is a beautiful passer, can hit an open shot, and has excellent post moves. Peak Gasol is when he's playing on spanish national team surrounded by shooters, ball goes into him and he dissects the defense apart. He was, was, unbelievable. HE's not great defensively but he's not horrendously stupid on rotations like Boozer.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) So how did Bulls get Gasol? S&T ? Boozer still on the team? rumor is he'll sign for bulls straight up for 6.5 or get s&t for 9.5 using some bulls assets we don't know which ones.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 07:33 PM) I just don't see what a different GM could have done differently. I'm sure they covered every base in their 12 hour meeting or however long it was..Guess I'm just missing something, or maybe I'm too "close minded". For the last years we have been hearing that the conservative moves of the Bulls was because they wanted "flexibility" for major additions in the 2014 offseason. The 2014 plan was touted by KC Johnson. That's fine if you are going to do that. Going into the 2014 offseason Kevin Love and Carmelo Anthony may be available to switch teams. The Bulls made an unserious offer for Love, and then we were told were instead going to focus on Anthony. That's fine if you are going to do that. The Bulls entered the offseason with 2 first round draft picks and a possible amnesty for Carlos Boozer. Rather than try to spin the picks off as assets, they traded both for potential backup SF Doug McDermott, and took on 2 million in the process. They, knowing Anthony would already require a discount to sign at the BUlls, added salary and used their only other assets to draft Doug Mcdermott, unathletic non-secondballhandler. They then courted Anthony without offering any money, because they were so tramautized from trading Kirk Hinrich the first time, and did not bother actually opening any salary room for Anthony. He left Chicago without a max offer. Or any offer actually. He was told to trust Bulls management. They then had plan Bs, which did not involve Kevin Love, whom is now being aggressively targeted by other teams who don't overvalue their assets. Their plan involved a 34 year old powerforward/backupC. I love Gasol, but that was not what was holding bulls back. Meanwhile we'll probably re-sign kirk, call it an offseason. It's fine that they made all these moves to preserve the possibility to get Anthony in 2014, but they aren't just responsible for not getting Anthony. They are responsible for all the other moves they didn't make because they decided that free agency is the way for the bulls to add a superstar. And that they will try to add them not by opening up max space, but by convincing them tehy are a great fit. It sounds convincing, doesn't it? At least they can convince us all that it isn't their fault. It's the players.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:44 PM) How is it their fault this time? It seems like they did everything they could.. Melo is just greedy and likes losing I guess Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahagagahagagagagagagagagagahahahahahahahaha haha
