Bulls Offseason Thread

[bukie]

From twitter:

 

@ConanOBrien: I don't care where LeBron James ends up... As long as it's not at 11pm on TBS.

[C.C.]

They took it down. This story just hit chicagosports.com

 

How strange?

 

I bet there's a page like that for each team that is in contention for Lebron...and this one just accidentally got published.

 

There wasn't. It was only the Bulls. A search on NY, NJ, Miami, turned up nothing.

Probably. It might not have really been a mistake though. Someone may have been having a little fun just to see the reaction.

Like I said...the Chicago one must've gotten accidentally published. I'm sure the pages are created for all the teams. And just not published.

Nope. He's a Bull. YIPEEE!

On Bosh:

 

Rumors are now that Toronto wants picks and a trade exemption back for him, meaning they want to deal with a team under the cap. Like Miami, not Houston or Chicago.

 

Huh?

 

I emailed the guy and it was just a mistype that he hadn't caught...it's corrected now...

I bet it was a Bulls fan who works for NBA.com who "accidentally" published the LeBron jersey page.

[SouthSideRyan]

Milwaukee Bucks close to five-year, $39 million with John Salmons

 

Thus far the best deal of the day is paying John Salmons 8M/year

[SpongeWorthy]

How do trade exemptions work?

[ChiCubsFan]

This assures that Milwaukee will be floating around somewhere in the bottom 4 teams to make the playoffs in the East for awhile now. Congrats to them.

 

Deals like these give me hope that someone will take Deng.

[Tracer Bullet]

Gay gets $81m/5 years?

The other 3 sports have their mind-boggling contracts, but I don't think either holds a candle to the NBA in terms of fall-down hilarity. Darko for 20M? [expletive] it, let's do it! I cannot wait to see what kind of deal Telfair gets

So Bosh was spotted at the UC by Dave Kaplan but Bosh's twitter account said, "About to head in the first meeting. Looking forward to seeing what Miami has to offer. #staytuned". So is Miami talking to him at the UC or is something wrong here? I'm confused.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dave Kaplan is a racist who thinks all black people look alike.

I dunno about the UC, but Bosh and Wade are meeting teams in Chicago.

Bosh and Wade are both in Chicago and teams are flying to Chicago to met them. They both have the same agent and he's based out of Chicago.

Alright, that makes sense then. I still don't get why they would do it at the UC though, unless that was an incorrect report by Kap.

[SouthSideRyan]

Dave Kaplan is a buffoon.

[Old Style]

Gay gets $81m/5 years?

:lol:

 

These contracts are frigging ridiculous.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't think there's going to be a '11-'12 season.

[C.C.]

The recession is clearly over.

I laughed so hard as this.

[SpongeWorthy]

When this free agency season is over I don't think that Rudy Gay contract will look that bad.

[Old Style]

The New York Daily News reported that Johnson told Knicks officials he’s gotten a five-year offer from Atlanta, not a full six-year maximum deal worth $120 million, as has been reported.
