2014 Bulls Offseason Thread

[Ryne Ween]

I am fully expecting Augustine to be back. Definitely hoping that's the case.

You can't go into this season with Hinrich as your backup PG. If they do its akin to Neifi and Macias fiascos of the Dusty Era.

I don't know if the Bulls can afford him after the season he just had

And Kirk resigns

Any word on numbers? I'm deathly afraid.

Not to nit-pick, but I seriously thought he meant that Kirk had retired or something.

Isn't that more or less what he would've gotten with the.MLE? What were you expecting him to get?

[davell]

Oh well, guess no DJ. No clue why they want Hinrich back, especially if its not at the minimum. I won't hold my breath for a Boozer trade.

[Guest]

so deng ended up getting less than the bulls offer (which he bitched about on twitter after he was traded). lu is a great dude, but that's kind of funny.

[davell]

It seemed like it wasn't the money as much as how it went down. Brought him into the office, tell him 3/30-non-negotiable and gave him a quick deadline.

 

I'd be pissed if I were him too. But if I were in GarPax's shoes, it's probably what I'd have done as well, if I'd even have made an offer.

[WrigleyField 22]

Sounds like Kirk may still sign for a little less than RMLE. If they can move Ranolph they might still be able to squeeze Kirk in with cap space and keep the RMLE for another move, but it's unlikely with Niko needing to make 5.3-5.5 in year one. Assuming you are out of room it probably makes sense now to just front load Niko, Pau and Kirk and outside of vet mins you're done.

 

My favorite vet min candidate- Brandon a Rush.

I think talks we're going on for a while even if the official offer time table was short. I doubt extra time would have moved Deng.

2/5.6 for Hinrich LOL

[rawaction]

Like this team. Still not good enough to win a championship.

[davell]

2/6 for DJ to Detroit. Really? We actually chose Hinrich over him on a level playing field.

[Ryne Ween]

DJ signed with the Pistons for the same deal basically. That absolutely unacceptable.

 

So they whiffed on Melo costing them Afflalo on the cheap. They fucked up this free agency. We are barely upgrading, losing boozer getting pau is an upgrade but losing DJ if a huge downgrade. So we have Rose Kirk and Jimmer as the only guards on this team?

 

And mirotic and mcdermott could very easily both suck.

[ChiCubsFan]

2/5.6 for Hinrich LOL

 

Seriously? [expletive]! I was backing GarPax through the Pau signing, but this is just stupid. Very stupid.

[WrigleyField 22]

Welp we probably didn't have a shot at DJ then, as that's more than RMLE.

 

At least no one seems really untradeable. Let's get another star via trade.

Terrible.

 

I'll talk myself into this team come October but this offseason sucked.
