Jackson's hardly a lock to stay in CF. -
Yeah, for all the shots at how quiet the crowd can be, the fans have been pretty damn faithful in packing the place even when the team hasn't been all that good.
-
The Bulls really ended up with a global goldmine with Jordan; it's insane how much Bulls gear still sells all over the world because of him.
-
Again, no, not now. Down the line when there's a choice FA class? Yes.
-
This year? Not very likely. For 2014? I could see them doing it.
-
I don't know how the numbers would work out, and I'm not a salary cap guru, but if you lose Noah and Gibson, you ought to be able to keep Asik alongside Howard, right? Presuming this all happened fast enough. Right, I'm thinking more from a timeframe standpoint. I don't think such a deal would have any chance of being done before Asik could accept the new deal.
-
Seriously, if the Bulls somehow landed Howard it would almost certainly be in the wake of losing Asik, Gibson AND Noah.
-
Deng is nowhere near as strong a chip as you think he is given the current questions about his health. I guarantee you that if the Bulls come knocking the Magic's demands start with both Noah and Taj.
-
I'm aware of that, which is why I mentioned we may not know what's going on. Personally, I think we should be in the middle of this Dwight stuff. Because outside of the Lakers offering Bynum, I don't see another team beating Deng and Noah in an offer. But Dwight doesn't want to play here.
-
WHAT?!?! Soriano isn't on that list?!? Don't they know the Cubs can also throw in Reed Johnson or Jeff Baker?!?! OR BOTH?!?!
-
Making major changes based mainly on this coming year is exceedingly stupid and overreacting due to the unusual nature of the season with Rose missing so much time. You also can't force something that isn't available; if there isn't a star-level scorer to be had for the right money or the right trade right now you can't just make it happen out of thin air. Assuming their sitting pat only because they're "happy with the team as is" is a faulty assumption. Again, 2014 will have a bunch of good FA options available. It's hardly the end of the world if they basically go into this coming season as is.
-
I'd like to see them jump into the Howard sweepstakes. If the Nets get Deron Williams, they won't have room for Dwight unless they gut their entire roster which leaves them with D League fodder on the bench. This is obviously contingent on ORL accepting the deal. The Nets are apprehensive about doing that, so that would leave Dwight in the cold with no teams on his "list." The Bulls can jump into the fold and offer an attractive package while perhaps recruiting Derrick to help make a pitch for them. I think this is very doable, but from what I gather management and Derrick are unwilling to employ the necessary strategy to get him. They seem to think like they can win as is. Or they think it's not worth the hassle/loss since he's likely to not stick around after one year. You've got a good FA class coming up in 2014 and they'll have money, so it's not like they need to look for ways to win now like their window is on the verge of closing.
-
What major trade do you think they've missed out on? Taking on Joe Johnson's horrible contract? Trading for Dwight Howard?
-
Yeah, this is totally cynosure II.
-
Why is DeJesus gone?
-
On the upside, maybe we won't hear from this guy at all during the regular season since it doesn't matter.
-
Yeah, those "wins" don't count.
-
This is like cynosure meting down in the Blackhawks thread all over again.
-
They key phrase is "better team." It was doubted by the most professional of opinions that the Bulls could even beat the heat in an ECF scenario. The Bulls success last year was hinging on Rip and Rose being able to stay healthy because they were hurt many times during the season. They weren't a clear favorite, so sitting here and blaming everything due to Rose being hurt is silly. Even if he wasn't hurt you're assuming he'll come in after said injuries and play at MVP caliber. As we saw, the Heat were a better team their second time around and the jury was out on the Bulls being better then the previous year. lol, yeah, they were missing an all-star caliber backup point guard. Having an All Star point guard did dick for them 2 years ago in the ECF because he was their only offensive option. HAVING AN ALL-STAR POINT GUARD MADE THEM A FANTASTIC TEAM. Holy Christ, how can you have such a narrow view of all this? "Welp, if they don't make it to the Finals everything is a failure and doesn't matter." What the [expletive] is that?
-
Liar. With a ridiculous attitude like this, where being the GD #1 seed is considered losing, there is no way you would be happy about just making it to the finals. So if the Bulls make the 7th or 8th seed this year and are swept out of the first round, is it a successful winning season? The next season is what it is due to injuries, not due to a poorly constructed team.
-
You're kidding, right? And you're seriously thinking that having that quote in your sig is ironic?
-
Uh, yeah, dude; if you're not winning it all you might as well be in last place. DUDE.
-
Wait until 2014.
