QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) Ugh. HATE Waiters. That's admittedly the kind of deal they should look for, but Waiters does so many dumb things and doesn't really do anything well. Plus he already looks like a pain in the ass. Think the Cavs are happy they took him over Drummond, Lillard and Barnes? The Cavs are f***ing terrible. They just took Bennett first overall. That says it all. That little idiot kid with the glasses might have all the ping pong ball luck, but management has f***ed it all up. They could be rocking Kyrie, Drummond, and Oladipo. Instead they have Kyrie and Jack s***.

Apparently the Cavs are begging the Bulls to take Dion Waiters for Luol Deng. This according to Chris Broussard.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 02:30 PM) Of course he's a good player. He's just not a 13-15 million dollar a year player. Never has been. Look at what Andre Iguodala signed for: 4 years at 12 million per. And Iggy is superior player all the way around. If some team (better not be the Bulls) offers him 4/40, he should take it and like it. That's about what a player of his caliber is worth. Add to that the insane minutes he's played under Skiles, the coach that shall not be named, and Thibs, and Deng is headed directly for a wall. His next contract will definitely be a disaster, and if it's with the Bulls I'll kill myself.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 27, 2013 -> 12:41 AM) I blame the black guy in the photo for bringing up race I blame him for stealing my wife's wallet. "protect the guilty!" - said no one ever.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Yahoo will go 24 hours without a Kardashian article before the Bulls do something creative. This is one of the best things I've read here in a long time.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 05:46 PM) You could very easily make a case for 64, DD or Wii being the best and I'd buy it. Not Super though. It's complete trash in comparison. It's a f***ing SNES game! When it came out it was the absolute s***... and it didn't have any bulls*** "make the race close" by slowing down the leader crap, either. I adored that game, and we were talking about memories. It remains my favorite.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 10:25 AM) They're not "screwed," but the immediate window is closed. You still have Mirotic. You still have the Bobcats pick. And you can still tank and try to get a top 7-8 guy in this years loaded class. OMG AN ALMOST COMPLETE UNKNOWN AND A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. BULLS ARE SET!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 09:45 AM) So if Deng and Hinrich get off the books and Boozer is amnestied, I read where the Bulls still only will have about $10 million in cap space. Any huge free agent will have to take a huge discount or there will have to be a sign and trade. The Bulls are deeply entrenched in NBA hell. There's just no way out of it right now.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 26, 2013 -> 03:49 AM) Tank Commander Marquis at your service. He's so hilarious!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) 1/13 from three. One three point fg in 53 minutes in 2013. My goodness. Good loss. I think they could go 0 for this trip now. Shades of the early 2000s.

I never get tired of the ice in Edmonton.

This is the least - excited I've been for a 12-4 Bulls run ever.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) Probably true, but Nate and Belinelli played huge roles on those teams. Nate won games single handedly. He also lost them single-handedly.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) What could the Bulls realistically get for Deng? 2nd round pick and a contract that's just as bad. Deng expires after this year - it won't make much sense to deal him unless you get an identical contract back that also expires but belongs to a worse play who comes with a pick.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 02:35 PM) After the way last year went, if there is even a chance he isn't coming back, you just say he isn't coming back. If he does come back, he looks all of the better. The only reason he didn't come back is because he chose not to. He didn't want to embarrass himself by returning too early. (You know, like maybe by shooting 35% and leading the league in turnovers) He didn't want to play and injure himself so he took an obscene, longer-than-ever return from ACL surgery to avoid injury. (You know, like maybe by getting injured anyway) My name is Steve, and I'm a recovering Rose Apologist.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 02:31 PM) The Bulls gain nothing by rushing him back. They risk everything if he gets injured again. This post worked before he took 19 months for an ACL and got injured immediately afterwards. Now you just sound like a Rose Apologist. I'm happy to say I'm a recovering Rose Apologist.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 02:21 PM) Exactly. The Bulls actually got in front of the train this time. Meh. If it's possible to get back on the court, you don't say it's impossible. If everything goes swimmingly, he's ready for that Pacers game.

In that hospital bed today, Rose made $48,309 from the Bulls and $50,881 from Adidas. He made $99,190! Today! Rose chose to sit out well-past when doctors cleared him, skipped out on his teammates who fought all season for him last year, and skipped out on the playoffs. He then proclaimed he made the right call. Guess what? He didn't. Why is he already out for the season now? Players can come back in four months from this injury. The Bulls play the Indiana Pacers on March 24th. That's four months from now. Nope - better give this KID FROM CHICAGO another free year of $99,190 per day to do nothing but work out in the gym. The Bulls play 12 games beyond the four month period that is plausible for a player to return from a repaired meniscus. That doesn't even include the playoffs, which you know this tired-ass team is going to make because the East sucks so hard. But nope. Not going to happen. We must continue babying Derrick Rose. Take another one off, bud, no big deal.

It's sad thinking about the legit possibility of Michael Beasley having a ring before Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:18 AM) He had that the year we lost to the Heat in the ECF. It sucks though, he's the last guy now that I want leading the team this season but the first guy I want leading the team going forward. Sigh. This is perfectly stated.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) Bulls have paid Rose 42 million for about 50 games the last three years. $840,000 per game!

I'm so surprised that listening to Reggie Rose over the medical professionals didn't work out for Derrick.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 10:56 AM) I fear it's less GarPax and more Thibs. Only way to tank is to force Thibs to play Teague and Snell by trading Kirk, Dunleavy, Deng, and Booz. Or just get rid of Thibs. His irresponsible minutes have led to the ruin of Noah and Deng anyway as well. Can't blame him for broken Rose, though. I'm lashing out. Ignore me.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 10:45 AM) If the Bulls are smart and tank this could be their San Antonio Spurs 1996-1997 season that led to them getting Duncan and being able to pair Robinson and Duncan for their frontline. But sadly GarPax will probably keep the status quo and the Bulls will limp into the playoffs setting the franchise back. Preach.
