Do you want to explain your declaration that the trades yesterday somehow leave the Bulls shorthanded for the rest of the season? I mean, I know most of the talk yesterday was about acquiring the expiring contracts for players, but the Bulls do actually get to use those players the rest of the season. That and it's not like the ended up with a significant dropoff in ability in regards to what they traded and what they got in return. Any talk like "the season is over" or "the season doesn't matter now" is ridiculous. They traded Tyrus Thomas and John Salmons.

So much whoosh.

No, his "arse." He's a fancy lad.

Toilet paper is really, really, really important. Unless one prefers wiping using...other means.

Yeah, If LeBron opts to sign with a different team that has more money to spend, you know he's gonna be calling up other FA's he wants to sign there, too. The Bulls need Rose on the [expletive] phones.

The Knicks may have money, but remember that their decisions over the last decade have lead to this kind of discontent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-NoRMWEBVo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_G6LFWSihw

I did too. Well, like 99%, anyway. Of course, I can be a bit neurotic when it comes to these things. I watched game seven from start to finish, but I definitely had a sinking feeling the only briefly abated when Wood homered. Not watching game 7 is a bit ridiculous, but I can't imagine most fans didn't have a bad feeling after game 6. I don't think fans of other teams would have felt much differently, either, had they been in our shoes. The whole thing just stank. Oh, I definitely went into game 7 myself with an ominous, beaten feeling. That said, I also went into realizing the game still has to be played and none of this stuff is decided ahead of time.

CASE CLOSED.

How?
-
Because he knew, man. Because he just knew.
-
Hmmmm, my LeBron outta Cleveland theory seems to have taken a hit with a pretty awesome trade.
-
My guess is that they'll use Theriot as the "clubhouse canacer" excuse if the team doesn't make the playoffs this year.
-
It's one thing to have a sense that the Cubs could very easily lose the series and another to profess to be a fan of the team and go out of your way to [expletive] all over other fans' optimism before the [expletive] game has even been played time and time again. Yeah, I remember going into Game 7 myself feeling like it wasn't gonna go well, but I didn't spend the time trying to make everyone around me as miserable as possible before the first pitch was even thrown. What's even the point in watching or following the games?
-
Hopefully not. The surgery Guzman had done is typically very minor. Lilly had it in the middle of the season and only missed about 3 weeks.
-
my logic is perfectly sound. If the Bulls played like crap the rest of the way, which is what would happen if they lost Kirk, fish, and tyrus for nothing, Noah and rose would look a lot worse as franchise building blocks. Talent doesn't exist in some vacuum separate from a team's record. This is ridiculously shortsighted.
-
It's not all that surprising that erik would be the same bowl full of wonderful when watching a game with him in real life as he is in the game threads.
-
Psssssst. Losing weight doesn't shrink your frame.
-
If they were smart they'd trade him to the Bulls for the gamechanging dynamic duo of Hinrich and Thomas. Too bad they already missed out on the majesty that is John Salmons.
-
And hey, if the Bulls do tank it after the deadline, boom, better draft pick. It's very easily argued that the worse this team is after the deadline the better it is for their future.
-
Yes, towards the end of the 2010 season when it briefly existed. On the way to ideally signing two impact FA's that drastically changes the team's makeup. Nevermind, I heard Bosh just called a press conference to say that there is no way in hell that he'll play in Chicago without John Salmons. The Bulls are screwed.
-
Nope, impossible. The Bulls have to actually handicap themselves to get better. To hell with luring players in with a big market and a lot of money and a player like Rose; THEY'LL ONLY SIGN IF WE HAVE MCGRADY. OH NO, THAT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE FOR SOME CRAZY REASON THE BULLS HAVE SIGNED MCGRADY TO A 3-YEAR DEAL. Any other crazy theories we can pack into this one?
-
salmons/tyrus/hinrich are not the difference between a playoff berth and tanking. When Salmons and Hinrich TRULY sucked at the beginning of the year and Tyrus was hurt this was legitimately one of the worst teams in the NBA. Basically Johnson, Pargo, Brown, et. al. are going to give you early Kirk/Salmons level of suck and if you have no Tyrus either you're looking at a really bad product. Probably better than that early season funk because Rose is rocking but still awful. IT WON'T [expletive] MATTER. Jesus Christ, you really think the big free agents are going to make middling, average players the dealbreakers as to why they'll come here? OF COURSE NOT. All they're gonna care about are Rose and Noah and Deng and maybe Gibson. The rest will be dealt with through an additional signings and the draft. The Bulls are not looking to trade difference makers. They'd be temporarily going from being an average team at best to a below average team. It's not a dealbreaker.
-
You're looking at a bad team with them. I think this is a 45 win team as currently constructed. The schedule is pretty soft from here on out. It's not THAT bad a team. They're a very average team at best with a few bright spots here or there. Pointing out the relative ease of their schedule is not helping any argument that this team is good. There's only a few players on this team that FA's are going to give a [expletive] about, and none of them are the guys the Bulls are trying to trade and the ones that matter will all be here for the forseeable future.
-
"Man, I was gonna sign with the Bulls but then they opted to trade Salmons/Hinirch! [expletive] this! I don't care if it does free up money to sign a player much more useful than Salmons/Hinrich! You fucked up, Bulls!" This is such a ridiculous, self-defeating debate. THE BULLS ARE NOT A GOOD TEAM RIGHT NOW. No FA with half a functioning brain is thinking that they'll only come here if the Bulls hang on to some combination of Tyrus, Hinrich or Salmons when it's clear to everyone that the Bulls are making room to add players MUCH better than any of those three.
