Going to be a while until we see him play, per Wojnarowski:

 

"After meeting with specialists in Los Angeles, the Chicago Bulls' Mike Dunleavy is expected to need four-to-six weeks of additional rehabilitation on his back before he can be cleared to return for on-court work, league sources told Yahoo Sports."

 

I expect a feb. announcement of him retiring, to be honest.

Gasol has a no trade clause.

 

 

Would he go to Dallas? Pachulia, Justin Anderson, and a 1st rounder. There I just traded Pau.

He told Vincent Goodwill yesterday that he will opt-out.

 

He will opt out because he can double his annual contract by doing so.

Derrick Rose sucks now. The Bulls aren't winning a title. They'll never do this but they should take a step back this year. Gasol has stated that he is opting out after the the season (as he should). In my opinion, the Bulls should deal him. They should trade Noah as well. I know that leaves them pretty thin but it doesn't really matter and I'd rather obtain assets now than get nothing in the offseason. This would be the best course of action for now and the future of the franchise which is why they'll never ever do it.

Good post. The problem is, the Bulls need to get a lot worse before they can compete for a championship. Let Rose, Noah walk, trade Pau and we're getting somewhere. This Bulls team is just good enough to mess up their draft pick feeding off the Eastern conference.

He will opt out because he can double his annual contract by doing so.

 

 

For sure. I don't think he'd stay here though and I don't want the Bulls to try either. That's why they should move him.

If DRose played Kobe one on one, first guy to score wins, how long would the game take?

The problem Rose faces beyond all the double vision, ouchie this and that stuff is the missed time. MVP Rose had been playing relatively uninterrupted basketball for a decade. Missing a year was going to put a dent in that, then big surprise another year. Then last year he misses a lot of time, sprinkled throughout the season so he never gets a rhythm. Another strike comes in the preseason this year, which people were just discussing.

 

It's really difficult to make up for time you spent physically inactive and what he desperately needs is a run of play without any meaningful injuries. I don't know if he'll manage it. I'm sure the time away from the game makes him even more prone to injury, not to mention the wear and tear from over the years and from managing the injuries themselves.

Would he go to Dallas? Pachulia, Justin Anderson, and a 1st rounder. There I just traded Pau.

Damn, Pachulia is still in the league?

He's only averaging 11.1 (48%) with 10.2reb with an 18+ PER

Yikes... don't tell that to Mirotic

 

If only the Bulls had traded up for Porzingis.

 

That guy is a stud.

Really cool story.

Traded what?

It just occurred to me that LSU might have the first overall pick in both the NFL and NBA draft. That Simmons kid is looking ridiculous.

We probably already have more wins than the lakers and sixes will have

Yep. Lakers have no business winning. Russell is crap. I think his absolute peak is Mike Conley Jr. He'll be a serviceable option more than likely and nothing more. Randle to me is Taj Gibson with starters minutes. They need Simmons desperately IMO. Even if they end up with the worse record in the NBA, they only have a 75% chance of keeping their pick since it's only top 3 protected. Even then, it's a two person draft IMO. Simmons and Skal. Ingram is eh to me.

Dougie looking good.

 

Loving the energy of this year's bench mob of Kirk - ET - Doug - Taj - Jo

Are the Bulls going to go 0-3 against the Hornets?

1-2

 

So the bulls can't score or play defense...

 

Nice.

So did Utah. Has another college done it since the Utes?

Ahh the Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut stud brothers... Don't think it's happened since, I will even bet that it's the only time that has happened in the history of professional sports.

Who on LSU would go first overall in the NFL draft?

If only the Bulls had traded up for Porzingis.

what?! what old, washed up, injured crap could the bulls have traded to get into the top 5 as far as picks? #facepalm #whatthef***#

McDermott, Mirotic, Snell, a couple 1st rounders in future years, etc.
