The NBA thread

Duhon is staying put, apparently. Bulls get Shannon Brown and they give Cleveland a 2nd round pick instead.

 

i've heard so many versions of this trade....so we're gettin 4 players now?

So now its Shannon Brown, Simmons, Hughes, and Gooden for Wallace and Smith?

[illiniguy]

Oh, way to endear yourself, Wallace. Noah was right.

 

Seriously if you read hes quotes they are laughable. Making tons of excuses about injuries, and how he plays hard every night. Well Ben, you guys were sucking when everybody was healthy, and I think we need to ask Skiles about you playing hard every night.

He was terrible, but at the same time the Bulls were very strange with him. Getting on him over a headband. We should all just be happy he is gone, Ben included.

Noah in theory could put up what Chandler is doing right now. Do we know yet? No. But getting rid of Wallace allows the Bulls to see what they have in Noah, so yes, this is a good move. I really is that simple.

 

i'm all for getting rid of Wallace.

 

and stating that his PER once lead rookies...c'mon. it may have been true, but you'd really rather have Noah than Kevin Durant?

 

GCG wasn't arguing for Noah over Durant, was he? He was just pointing out that your comment that Noah is garbage was incorrect.

Oh I like Shannon Brown. I hope he gets a chance to play in Chicago.

Griffin is being shipped out to Seattle as well.

While the rule about headbands was dumb, it was still a rule, and everybody on the team should follow them.

I guess, but if the Bulls had drafted LeBron I wonder if they would have taken the same stance with him? Wallace was paid like a superstar, then treated like a rookie. I can see why he was peeved at the Bulls too.

sure, but why alienate your new, highly paid free agent with a petty rule? scott skiles was too often a red ass for the sake of being a red ass

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

ok, if we get Shannon Brown, I take back everything bad I sad about Pax, well not really, but I really like Brown.

Meh, if not getting to wear a headband while getting paid a crapload of money pisses him off, well I dont know what to say. Hes a baby, and a coach killer. I wonder how long Clevelands coach will be around now that Wallace is there?

And you haven't been impressed with him? Wow.

[Outshined_One]

"It is a relief," Wallace said. "I just have to play basketball."

 

Compared to what you had to do while in Chicago? Please just leave, and thank you Paxson

The rule was in place before Ben Wallace signed the deal, if it mattered that much to him then he shouldnt have signed here.

Seriously enough of the strawman. I never argued Noah over is better than Durant. PER is one of the better metrics for evaulating players, and I was just pointing that Noah is actually having a decent rookie year.

i haven't been impressed with most of the team, so maybe my view is skewed. i'm not hoping he sucks by any stretch. if he gets more PT and breaks out down the stretch, i'll be thrilled

The sad thing is he went from being very underrated to very overrated the minute he signed the Bulls deal. For years he was all effort. Then he got paid.
