2009 Bulls Offseason Thread

[wolf stansson]

bucher is also saying it's not happening

 

Told this a.m. by a Bulls source that the Boozer deal wasn't happening. It's been discussed. A Por/Jazz/Det deal was, too.

 

He also said that Kobe Bryant would be traded. So, I don't believe what these people are predicting.

That trade was actually approved by both sides and Kobe cancelled after they were going to submit the trade to the league. Bucher is usually connected.

 

Maybe so, but I don't believe anybody when it comes to trade no matter how "connected" they are. Cause unless you are the GM/Owner you have no idea what is truly going on.

I'm not the director of my department, but I know what's going on.

oK......considering that the Bulls are one of the most tight-lipped teams in basketball when it comes to trades, etc, etc, nobody knows what is going on in the Bulls FO.

Clearly he's saying his source is someone in the Bulls front office.

 

This is a basketball team, not the Mossad. They keep relationships with reporters.

I'm not saying they are, I'm just saying that unless his source is John Paxson, Gar Forman, or Jerry Reinsdorf, his source is only stated an opinion and not fact.

There's a nice little feature call ignore............you might want to check on that feature.

Bulls bought out the contract of Tim Thomas, apparently to afford the salaries of the newly drafted forwards

The handles of a point guard?

 

The jumper of Ben Gordon?

 

The size of a 3/4?

 

The athleticism of Tyrus Thomas?

 

Looks like we just drafted Scottie Pippen Jr, boys! Championships here we come!!!!

Ive been saying it since the draft, I think we got the steal of the draft with Johnson.

The only time you learn anything from the summer league is when a player shows that they're completely overmatched and need a couple years (or will be a bust).

That's a very tough start to the season and a somewhat difficult finish.

Isn't the end of november road trip typically longer than that?

[Keener98]

Why do we have a 7 game roadtrip in January?

[Derwood]

Any news on the Boozer front?

The Bulls are only the 3rd or 4th most important tenant of the UC these days

Yea I cant believe the Bulls dont hold priority at the UC. Between the Circus trip, and now Disney on Ice, its ridiculous. 2 road trips over 6 games in a row, and both of them are on the West coast. The Bulls are at a scheduling disadvantage every year, and someone in the Bulls front office needs to put their foot down.

Well that's ridiculous.

 

We've had that ever since I can remember.

[da bears]

I hate the fact that Reinsdorf openly adMitsubishi that the Bulls are second fiddle to him to the White Sox. I really wish he would sell the team to someone who lives and dies with the Bulls and who is willing to take the necessary steps to win a title during the Derrick rose era.

I know about the circus trip but I don't remember this
