I wasn't

SSR will surely die of laughter upon reading that report Does that make him half the prospect Soler is? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=62607&p=3032632&

Judging by free agent movement over the last, what 15 years? No. If the interest is real. Not sure what the expletive is s-hitty? It certainly didn't stop last year's marquee FA from going there. Huh, yeah, that looks pretty negligible.

Given the way the two teams were constructed last year, the fact that the Bulls lost their superstar for the season, and that Thibs was forced to play offensively limited players long minutes... wouldn't you expect the Bulls to have terrible PERs? I'm not sure what you're saying, shouldn't the Bulls have terrible PERs because they weren't very good? That's the problem, and a rather chicken-egg one. The only guy that really nosedived was Boozer, and he's old and broken-down. I honestly have no idea what to expect from Rose, or what to do about him.

Nobody's making their decision on where to sign based on Jimmy Butler and Tony Snell

You forgot Thibs/McHale and western conference vs. eastern conference and Chicago vs. Houston And FWIW, Howard isn't quite what he used to be. In terms of PER, the gap between he and Noah wasn't much last year. In terms of PERception(EH?? EH????) it's still pretty big. I don't think conference affiliation matters a thing. And there are taxes. I mean, I think Thibs is the 2nd best coach in the NBA, but is he really the dynamic force that players want to come play for?

That would be a really good value signing if you can keep him under control. Just seems un-GarPax-like

And all of that will result in never winning a title unless they get another FA superstar. Congrats on getting the respect of other owners and the media, though. I can't believe that the 'we need a superstar' sentiment is still so strong after watching the Spurs easily handle the Heat. Sure, the Spurs have Parker, Duncan, and Leonard, but those three are not on the same level as LeBron and Melo (especially at Parker and Duncan's age). I'm not trying to say the Bulls are better off without a LeBron/Love/Anthony, but to act like it's the only way they can win is close minded. The Spurs are also coached by the best head coach in American sports, and run by one of the best FOs in the same. Saying, "just be like the Spurs!" is pretty silly. Thibs isn't exactly the Mike Quade of the NBA. Look, I'm not saying the Bulls = the Spurs. I'm saying you don't need a situation like Miami's to win championships. Is that really such a ridiculous thought? Or can it only be done in San Antonio, Mr. Basketball Authority? In the last 10 years, yes, only the Spurs have been able to. The Bulls have 1 player under contract who would be in San Antonio's top 6 in PER last season. Jimmy Butler would be tied for 11th If the Bulls come away from this offseason without LBJ(No), Melo (35%), or Love (I dunno, 10%?), then the team as constructed is not a serious contender.

Go away and never come back.

"Oh are we touching boobs now?"

Not as long as Kasparov is still kicking.

Ok, no bigger move than signing Josh McRoberts

Lol at all this.

If what happened? They took less money like they did last time?

That's 3 or 4 spots in the batting order we need to fill for a month.

Casey Mcgehee is gonna cure cancer

Jesus I made one joke and you've lost your [expletive] mind about it

Gutting the team?

Brett's not that bad, he just aims for broad appeal and is a bit of an apologist. I pretty much don't read Parks anymore. i don't really see what brett belongs to the table. he doesn't provide "inside" information (does he?), and there are like 10 people on nsbb alone that i would rather read analysis from. he's just kind of the head of the cubs fan club. lol like 4, max. ...no Brett's analysis is straight from the rob neyer 2002 message board. Bunts are always the devil, pitch counts over 100 will single handedly ruin your career, WAR X > WAR Y, X is obviously better (this was previously win shares).

Kal Daniels from the same era.

That day will come soon for the Cubs, too. You've got some insider info about the Ricketts mercifully selling the team? Tim's just excited for that sweet MeTV money we'll pick up next year
