Buehrle>Wood Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) Package that s*** with everything else for one of Love or Melo or watch your fanbase finally revolt. Oh wait, there's idiots in this city. Nevermind. Draft all the role players and sign all the white guys (not named Love). I agree it's better to package them for a star. But it's unlikely. I was merely asking about draft night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all you need to know about this fanbase. And speaking of white guys, I wouldn't mind that Zach Lavine from UCLA. That dude has got athleticism for days.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Man, do some of you guys ever get tired of bashing the Bulls FO? I don't follow basketball as much as I do baseball and football so maybe I'm missing something here, but the level of hate for them is ridiculous to me. I don't wanna rehash anything but ya, just wanted to throw that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna rehash anything but ya, just wanted to throw that out there. It's the sign of a pretty patient fanbase that sucked for a decade, won the lottery and got a superstar, had a small taste of success, and ever since has been told by management that it's not going to be THIS year, but NEXT year. And for probably 3, going on 4 seasons now, we're still waiting. Meanwhile other teams have made big moves and the Bulls have passed on moves, to keep with their future theory that as of yet has not materialized. But now most of us have finally had it with the "just wait until next year" nonsense. We want something to happen now.

You've seen greatness up close. You should know the difference between a try-hard team built for the regular season and one built for the playoffs.

Yeah because so many of us were equating a Bulls teams that lost its best player and traded away its second best player with some of the greatest teams of all time. You need help.

You need help. When you've seen 6 titles up close you do not get overly excited about beating a team in the regular season you know you can't beat in the playoffs. I expect the Wizards and Raptors fans to act like that. They don't know any better. Chicago should know better. Brother Quinarvy is 13 and never saw the dynasty and he knows the difference.

qwerty Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 This thread will always suck. Damn shame. Kinda like Pale Hose in general. Stopped talking over there because sabermetrics were frowned upon many years ago. These days, some have gotten the drift that advanced statistics are not satanic, but still too many are naive about trying to get a better understanding of the sport. Ignorance is, and likely always will be, mankind's downfall. Deduction people, deduction. Work your way from both polar opposites inwards. That is the best chance we have of grasping anything, and everything we attempt to grasp within our lives. Some may know it by a more archaic belief system, yin and yang. Give it a try, that is all I ask, as it will potentially make the world a better place far beyond what any of us can ever imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Back to actual discussion... Can this draft help bring a little more balance to the league? Five of the top 6 picks in a supposedly strong draft go to Eastern Conference teams and 3 of them have an extra first as well (Philly and Orlando both have two lottery picks). It will take a few years, but I think it could help unless they take all the busts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now add in Vonleh, Embiid, and Gordon. Hell, LaVine's got the tools to be something crazy. Will they all be? No. But if this draft could live up to the hype and produce at least three franchise players, we can see that turn around with Dipo and Co. in Orlando getting help, Philly is adding to MCW and Noel, Bucks have got some decent pieces. Only one who will f*** it up are the Cavs who will likely draft McDermott #1 overall cause Cavaliers are incompetent f***s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of reminds me of 2008 with the number of interesting prospects but lack of consensus. You just have to hope you get Westbrook or Love instead of Beasley or Mayo.
