Bulls possible 4 5 seed now

 

[purguy12]

No...lol

Cavs, Pacers, Raptors, Celtics still better.

If they can hold that Mash Unit in Zoo York together with duct tape, they might be better too.

Ditto Hornets and Washington.

You could finish anywhere from 5-9.

Im not worried about most of those teams. We have a very solid 3 core plus good role players and young players.

 

[WiggyRuss]

You guys got Dunleavy?

Lmao

bulls had to jettison salary...i thought for sure theyd tell the cavs to fuck off and send him out west. Gilbert was only to happy to take him into the Cavs trade exception.....

except another big lux tax check from Gilbert next year....

Mozgov, Deng, and Calderon. Not exactly what I hoped for but all 3 are solid locker-room presences for the kiddie corps.

I see them between 2-4.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 5m5 minutes ago
Two years, $47 million for Dwyane Wade in Chicago, per source. @vgoodwill first with numbers. I almost typed Miami. Still stunned.

Basically a one year rental IMO

Wait. What?!?!?! Can't be real.

This would be a magnificent day for basketball....lol

Warriors, your move!

 

[purguy12]

Anybody know what the Bulls got back in return? Cant find it anywhere.

Should be mentioned that one of the cuts he took was his own responsibility. He assumed Lebron would re-sign so he opted out like an ass in 2014 and ended up getting less money. Who fault is that? Miami didn't tell him to opt out.

I think all the cuts he took was his responsibility. No one forced him to sign anything.

I think the Lakers were "too loyal to Kobe" ($30M) ... and the Heat should have been more accommodating to Wade.

(Free agents are watching how teams treat loyal players ... KD went to Ws because of reputation of the FO ... same as LA to Spurs last year. It would be crazy/stupid for Whiteside to change now ... but if he does, no one can say he should have been loyal to Pat & the Heat.)

If teams make it all 'about business', the team & their fans can never complain when players jump to another team in a second.

Does anyone want to say again that the Heat FO is one of the two most respected FOs in the league ?

As weird as their offseason was....overall I like the moves they made......the Bulls that is. I'd like to see them add some outside shooting before it's all over. And it's early, but I think they'll make the playoffs as long as they are healthy.

Yeah but he won't opt out. Why would he. He is home. Why move again at his age. Only way I see it if him and Butler or the HC have a big blow up.

I'm totally fine with that contract they gave him (although at time I thought he'd take less, but they gave him an open checkbook basically in the meeting they had with him) because it's a business and they made a shit ton on Kobe's name and they had the new TV deal with TWC.

too risky....could blow up in your face...just keep Love...

Yeah they should with that lineup. Should be fun to watch. Not saying they will beat the Cavs but At least they will compete. They should end up between 2-4 if not HC needs to get fired. too much talent on that team not to be on the upper part of the East. Yes Health can hurt this team. That is the only thing.

I just passed 23k......

the two players most responsible for your franchise's 3 championships leave on bad terms and in public spats with Pat Riley. Not a good look Pat...not a good look.
