    I feel like this has probably been posted somewhere, but I haven't seen it. If it has, my bad.     http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/gilbert_letter_100708.html   Not sure how everyone else

Apparently, just because the Bulls lucked into Derrick Rose, it doesn't make them any less the Bulls.

 

I am lowering my expectations. They'll end up with Jamal Crawford, and it will be a trainwreck.

nm, annoying non-tweet false post report

I don't see how they could "acquire" him, their only big salaries/assets are the big 3.

 

Mike Miller and Joel Anthony provide some contract space. But not a lot of value there.

Looks like the Knicks got a bargain on Tyson Chandler at 4 years and 58 million. Thrifty SOB's.

With the 2 guys that have been said to really want to play for the Bulls (McGrady/Butler) signing, makes me think the Bulls have their man.

@blakegriffin: Hey guys I just got traded...

Thing is that is exactly the type of player they need on that team. He just has to stay healthy.

Oh that is so bad.

 

Tyson and Eddy... bad contracts on the Knicks at one point.

was just about to post that. Was legitimately laughing in the office.

Just saw a post that Chauncey was irate over being an amnesty clause player. Does he even understand what just happened? He gets his salary and a new salary/new pick of a team. Amnesty clause players should be thanking the owners.

Not necessarily

Well, depends what he's willing to settle for as a FA.

He goes through a waiver. He could be picked up by Minnesota if they so choose, thats why he is pissed

Should the Bulls attempt to block?

I think blocking Chauncey Billups would be a bad idea, given our best player is a PG. His range would be nice, but no.

Yes, but I know agents are going to be telling teams to back off claims. Unwanted claims are going to be met with immediate trade demands. Should be interesting.

The one thing I hate is how quiet the Bulls are. The knicks, lakers, heat and Celtics are all over the news trying to upgrade their teams, the Bulls are nowhere to be found. This bothers me a lot

I'm not entirely convinced the Bulls need to bring in new players to improve. If Rose keeps improving, Gibson's game takes a leap and Boozer goes back to being a 20/10 guy we have upgraded more than any team this offseason. None of those things are outside the realm of possiblity.

Nope, still need a SG to take the load off Rose. It would be moronic to stand pat

It's driving me mad and has been their MO for years. Always afraid of the big move.

 

Apparently, they want Dwight, but they need to realize there shant be a Dwight.

Rose? Yes. Gibson and Boozer? No and no.

Rose? Yes. Gibson and Boozer? No and no.

I get the feeling familiarity breeds contempt unless its an absolute stud like Rose. There really is no reason why Gibson cant improve massively and Boozer cant get back to his old self.

The NBPA has reportedly approved the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

It's become an afterthought among a frenzy of trade rumors and free agent handshake agreements, but the new CBA hasn't technically been ratified. The owners will soon vote on the CBA and the stage is now set for free agency and training camp to begin simultaneously on Friday, as planned.

this is killing me too....we were that close to getting to the finals and are just sitting here twiddling our thumbs like we are already good to go. If they don't make a move to get some kind of impact SG we are going to be worse than last year....we got every ounce of talent out of our team last season i dont know if we can do that again without some help for d rose....wish kenny williams could GM the bulls as well maybe then we would be willing to pull the trigger on a FA or a trade

We'd be shoe-ins for T-Mac and Grant Hill if that were the case.
