holy [expletive] turn your gas grill down you psycho

looks like a propane grill with no propane tank and likely a pile of coals with a crap ton of lighter fluid.

 

Nope.

well nevermind then. What the hell was he cooking?

Just watched the SL game against the TWolves. I'm convinced. McDirty is going to be a player in this league. He's got such a quick, effortless stroke with a ton of range. A lot like Korver, except he can also put the ball on the floor, finish near the basket in traffic, post up smaller defenders, and simply not [expletive] himself when pressured with the ball in his hands.

 

Very excited for the season.

 

Let's find a way to S+T for Stuckey and get a Stuckey/Snell/McD/Mirotic/Gibson 2nd unit out there.

[ChiCubsFan]

Nvm Stuckey to the Pacers.

 

My next choices would be Jameer Nelson, Aaron Brooks, Mo Williams, or Ramon Sessions. We need another PG.

I'm hopeful for McDermott but Korver would absolutely torch the summer league. Based on summer league we had our two playmaking ball handlers in Goudelock and Teague. The summer league means less than nothing. Isn't McDermott 6'5? Who is he gonna post up? And seriously he's gonna be a catch and shoot guy why do people expect him to better than Kyle Korver?

He's 6'8"-6'9"

Look, I know Lance Stephenson might be a psycho, but given the Bulls current strengths (frontcourt depth) and weaknesses (almost no good wings/perimiter defenders outside of Butler), wouldn't he have been a better use of money than Pau Gasol?

I hate Jameer Nelson. No idea why, just don't like him. Sessions would be really nice.

The era of White Basketball has arrived in Chicago.

Seriously....11 players on the roster, 7 of them are white or partially white (Noah)

idiotic, wouldnt it have been mutually beneficial for the lakers to have accepted him in a S+T for Gasol?

unless i'm missing something in terms of scenarios linked with other moves, isn't it better for LA to pay him less?

@steven_lebron CONGRATS, YOU WON THE CARLOS BOOZER AUCTION!" is a pop-up ad you close.

They would have been able to use the MLE? I don't know how much cap space they had. But if their cap space was less, that could be one reason along with whatever sweeteners we were offering.

This. And he doesn't need to be posting up smaller guys since he has that fade away. I don't expect him to be a superstar, but he's going to be better, and able to score in more ways, than Kyle Korver.

[Guest]

Yeah he has way more skills than Korver.

 

Basically, his floor is to sink open 3's from almost anywhere.

From LAs perspective it's a large expiring and the Bulls probably would have thrown an asset in to get the deal done. Then again all that would have done is given the bulls the ability to use the MLE and LLE. The MLE would have gone to mirotic and the LLE would have gone to Hinrich, but I think they would have had another exemption they could have used in that scenario

Would Gasol's contract have been different if we did a S&T? If not, we still would have had cap space to sign Mirotic and then the MLE to grab another wing. It also would have created a TPE that we could have used to acquire another player.

well nevermind then. What the hell was he cooking?

IIRC, the tag is thrown into the fire and causes the flareup.

McDermott with his worst offensive game of the summer league so far, with just 1-6 on 3 pointers. He did make that following a sequence where he blocked two consecutive shots and then hit the 3 in transition, though.

 

Bulls basically destroying the whole summer league right now as well, winning 4 games by a total of 88 points.
