Bulls Offseason Thread

[Magnetic Curses]

The Heat can grab a guy like Luther Head to take the minimum and probably shoot 40% from 3 because he'll have wide open looks whenever he's on the floor.

 

Marc Stein says Dan Gilbert just issued a long statement blasting James and saying their fans didn't deserve this "cowardly betrayal". He also said this: "I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

 

holy [expletive], now that's a [expletive] press statement!

[Sammy Sofa]

He looks much better when I don't have to watch his soft butt play.

 

Between this and wishing the Bulls still had Hinrich and Salmons you're on a roll tonight.

You can take it to the bank.

Darren Revelle said that Miami will need to get to the finals to break even $ wise now

 

yes, and what happens in 5 years when their payroll is is 75 mil + 5 mle's = 105 mil + 35 mil in luxury tax?

 

the heat could theoretically, in 5 years, be spending 140 mil on that team. that's gotta make their shareholders a little nervous.

 

 

they will prolly be thinking "man, those 4 championships were a blast!!!!"

 

Except they are not going to four championships.

in 3 years, obama will own that team and move them to chicago

Dan Gilbert probably shouldn't issue official statements when he's drunk and belligerent.

[Wilson A2000]

KC Johnson said Tracy McGrady is possible

[DivineBovine]

I especially liked this one:

 

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

 

 

Go Dan Gilbert

[Wilson A2000]

True. Dan you aren't going to win a championship before LeBron does. Sorry buddy.

[USSoccer]

Nice font, owner of a major sports team.

the good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

 

i liked that part. he was so pissed he didn't even have time for a proofreader.

KC Johnson said Tracy McGrady is possible

I don't know, maybe the Bulls should take a look at players that aren't awful instead. I mean, I liked Hinrich, Arenas, McGrady and Hamilton 5 years ago when they were worth decent money, but now's not the time to add an albatross with a big name just to say the Bulls "tried".

[Guest]

Wow, the Cavs official front page is brutal right now.

 

Dan Gilbert has a jillion dollars and can't find a font that isn't reminiscent of a Geocites page?

[DivineBovine]

Yeah, you gotta love his balls here but to personally guarantee a championship before King James. That's pretty ridiculous.

 

Maybe we can get him to give us some players for free just to keep LeBron from winning the East. Actually, is there anyone on the team we'd really want right now?

For us or the Heat?

John Salmons is a fine basketball player.

[Magnetic Curses]

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

 

that quote is straight out of the color purple!

[17 Seconds]

I still think in reprehensible that LeBron didn't at least tell the Cavs and their fans what was going on before the special.

 

If he really cared about Cleveland, he would have made a seperate announcement last night telling them he was leaving, so they woudln't have to find out the way they did.

 

I mean, you don't even tell the FO? Absolutely pathetic

[SpongeWorthy]

Was this posted yet? Dan Gilbert just went off on Lebron:

 

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

 

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

 

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

 

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

 

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

 

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

 

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

 

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

 

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

 

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

 

You can take it to the bank.

 

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

 

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

 

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

 

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

 

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

 

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

 

Just watch.

 

Sleep well, Cleveland.

 

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

 

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

 

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

 

 

 

Dan Gilbert

Majority Owner

Cleveland Cavaliers

He may have become my new favorite owner. He issued an official statement that's like something an irrational message board poster would type. Which is weird because I usually hate those guys on message boards. Still, way to step out there man. He's got a pair.

Not for 5/40

[Wilson A2000]

Goff is talking to KC Johnson on the Score. He said he learned never to use the word "immanent" as a recommendation.

[minnesotacubsfan]

wtf ever. Gilbert just discovered what the Wolves discovered a few years ago with KG. when you have a superstar talent, and you dont support them, they eventually will leave to win the championship.

 

see ya Cleveland, dont choke on your own blood
