QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:30 PM) Welcome to hard nose basketball but not good enough for the playloffs chicago bulls team again. Any SF out there for trades? What? The Bulls as is are a contender, barring major moves by the Cavs, I think they can play with any EC team (depending on Rose staying healthy). There are 3 WC teams better than the Bulls (LAC, SAS and OKC) but fortunately you only play one of them if you can get to the Finals.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 05:08 PM) It does seem they think they can parade a star by their 6 trophies and they think that should be good enough to convince them they want to be a Bull. Nevermind the reason those trophies are there is basically one player who was acquired before anyone parading these plyers through had anything to do with the Bulls. Huh? John Paxson?

I knew this was gonna happen when MarshMelo was 'anguishing' where to go, riiiight. Now everyone is upset that GarPax couldn't seal the deal. There never was a deal to close, I can't believe people fell for his dog and pony show. The guy loves NY and getting paid, not hating him for that. What bothers me is he put on this "it's not about the money, it's about winning" facade and alot of us took it hook, line and sinker. And I don't want to hear this crap about PJax not letting Melo go by refusing a S & T, that's some naive BS, Melo cried his way out of Denver, if he really was set on leaving NY, he and his people would've figured out a way. PJax would've done a deal to get some assets in return but he knew it was never coming down to that. This long waiting period for his 'decision' was to make folks believe he had doubts, riiiight. So yeah, let's keep on blaming the FO. BTW, don't know if it's true or not but I kept hearing that Phil never even really wanted Melo that much but Dolan loves him and in no way wanted to lose him.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) Again health was mentioned. Rose is a pretty good player when healthy. Fraschilla said if Mirotic was in this draft, he would have been top 4. McDermott was a lottery pick and a guy who the Bulls think was the best shooter in the draft. And Gasol got 17 and 10 last year. He isn't quite a stiff yet. They get another scorer, they who in the east is clearly better then them? Granted they didn't add Beasley or Oden. You know, real talent. Ouch. I say the Bulls make a trade for either one of those guys just to make J4L happy, lol

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) Which is why mirotic, Gasol, and mcdermott were added. Not to mention we might add more pieces. People are overreacting. Melo would have obviously made the bulls better, but the world isn't ending. This

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Doubt he used them as leverage. Dude got the max offer over a week ago from the Knicks. I'd believe this if he committed right after his meeting with the Knicks. Dude has a serious ego, he was loving all the attention. I kept saying we weren't ever seriously in contention with the money difference being so large. This was all just for show.

MarshMelo is all about money, everyone knows this (except some Bulls fans )

In b4 Melo staying in NY...

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 01:10 AM) Woj says Bulls are signing Pau. Not exactly sure what this means for Melo... Boozer's gone, right?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 04:48 PM) Seriously. I can't pity them whatsoever. Their fans suck and they gamed the system 4 years ago to assemble a super team. The way the Spurs dismantled the Heat that eventually led to their demise couldn't have been written better in Hollywood. Epic. The Evil Empire has fallen!

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Riley and wade screwed but atleast bosh gets a good situation lol He get's to go home to a max contract and a contender. Hey...isn't Wade from Chicago? Get it done, FO

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) Houston should tell Bosh come now or forget it be a man Bosh! This is the reason my gut tells me the Big 3 aren't going anywhere. Bosh isn't taking that Rockets offer because he knows LeBron is staying in Miami. Wade opted out of his contract because he also knew LeBron was re signing, they're supposed to be real tight, as if it's believable that Wade would leave millions on the table without knowing what's LeBron's next move. For the life of me though, I just can't figure out why no one in LeBron's camp has squashed the LeBron to Cleveland rumors. If he does stay in Miami, there will be a lot of broken hearts again and none of it is LeBron's fault but his PR people did nothing to temper expectations. LeBron will look like an asshole again, even though the media was at fault.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) So creepy and useless. What are those people expecting? Fireworks when LeBron announces his decision? He's not even home. None of that makes any sense. Those people are just wasting their time. But then again, they must have nothing better to do if they're there in the first place. Insert they're in Cleveland joke here... But yeah, seriously, imagine if LeBron doesn't go back to Cleveland. There might be riots this time.

I don't know if it's been posted before here but there's a live stream from LeBron's house...seriously http://fox8.com/live-stream-b/

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 10, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) He is the offensive version of Ron Artest. I just think his potential to just ruin a locker room is not worth the money. While he is talented, he still is not a game-changing player where the risk is worth the reward, imo. From what I've heard, Frank Vogel isn't great at managing his clubhouse, that's part of the reason we kept hearing about alot of turmoil within Pacers players. OTOH, the Bulls have a great clubhouse atmosphere, Thibs is very much loved by his players, IMO the Bulls vets (Noah, Gibson, Rose) will have a positive affect on him. He's a dynamic scorer with a big upside. It's worth the risk, I'm tired of the status quo and while I hope we can still land Melo, I've never really felt he was going to leave NY and I still don't. At the very least we should be sending out feelers to Stephenson's people.
