  2. wow this even puts mojo to shame wtf I shook my head!
  3. Nobody said the decisions were based on it.
  4. Picking Braun was some kind of subversive attempt to jinx Abreu from becoming the stud we all really knew he was going to be.

  6. Now you're talking crazy; they actually WANTED Tanaka.
  7. I don't think lobbying or a star is brig a jerk I can just understand choosing to not do so publicly. If he has any relationship with melo as a fan I hope he leveraged it to help get melo here even if it means his current teammates are gone. But expecting him to do something he said he wasn't gonna do years ago is changing the goalposts. I do not recall Kobe recruiting. I recall Kobe (and Phil) lobbying to get rid of guys. In my opinion recruiting is a media driven FA. Driven thing and I don't think it matters. That said, I agree that rose should end this issue by making a statement that he wants to play with melo. And I agree his comments about his health were incredibly stupid. Basically he's not a media savvy individual. How can we say Kobe's never reached out to anyone? I expect most of this to happen without it being public like what the Big Three did. Rose just gets extra scrutiny because he's said multiple times he won't do it and doesn't see a point in reaching out. Well, like it or not, the Big Three DID change things, and the Bulls have a golden opportunity here to make some critical moves that he potentially can help with. Does he have to? No. Is it a lock that it would help if he did? Of course not. But again, that the star of our time seems to only really like actually DOWNPLAYING the idea of them signing other big names is a tad disheartening.
  8. They'd be trading for Love.
  9. The not dancing thing was awesome, but then you kinda figured he wasn't THAT much of an idiot and would basically go out of his way to say he didn't think the Bulls needed to sign anyone when it came time to make nice. I get it; he's just a dumb kid managed by stupid jerks. But when someone asks him if he's recruiting just give some version of "no comment" or "we'll handle that privately." It's not hard. And [expletive] Boozer; what, Noah is a jerk for being out there trying to woo Carmello? Please.
  10. I was going to scream "J'ACCUSE" and demand to know where the rest of the hits were from 2014 until I remembered we're not even to the [expletive] ASB in this nightmare of a season.
  11. I was THIS [expletive] close to going with Abreu instead of stupid dick for jerks Braun. THIS CLOSE.
  12. I don't care if it's only happened once in spectacular fashion; it still can't hurt, and I'm sure at the very least they're at least usually making cursory calls and [expletive]. Rose has gone out of his way in the past to say he's not even gonna do that, which just seems pointlessly obtuse and stubborn. There's a difference between a player simply not doing it and what was has vocalized multiple times. It's like he thinks he's insulting the other returning players too much.
  13. Arrieta walks a bunch of guys and poops his pants; Rizzo magically has a body to scale with his face.
  14. ... Now if I didn't know you were trying to counter my point I'd have thanked you for actually making it for me; that's probably the most open he's been vocally about the Bulls trying to big up another big name, and even then it's still this wishy-washy, backhanded stuff where he's like, "yeah, he can come here, I guess, whatever" and then caps it off with, "but really, who needs him, I can make ANYONE good." He praised his game, but said absolutely nothing about specifically wanting Anthony as a Bull, which, hey, it can't hurt. Yeah, recruiting isn't his job, but other stars DO do it, and we've seen it work. Rose not only doesn't do it, but he's gone out of his way to vocalize how much he doesn't like it and doesn't want to do it and how the Bulls don't need another star, etc., etc.. I would just like it if my team's star player seemed a little more invested in bringing another big name aboard.
  15. Yeah, but there's a middle ground between "ZOMG, HE'S OUT THERE TRYING TO BEST BUDS WITH EVERYONE!" and Rose flat out saying that he doesn't think they need whatever big FA's are out there. Yeah, I get what he's doing in clumsily propping up his team, but somebody teach him a [expletive] diplomatic answer for once.
  16. I'm thinking more 2011-2012 Barney. Hope you are closer. Soler stayed in the game and got a single his next time up. He's also playing RF. Have to imagine he's close to going to Tennessee. http://wearingmyblackness.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/lemon-greatestnews.gif
