    Philly is an extreme tanking example, but who knows they have a ton of young talent and assets because of it. Noel, Embiid, Okafor, Simmons, Saric, Kings pick swap in 2017, Lakers 2017 pick (top 3 protected or else unprotected in 2018), Kings 2019 pick (unprotected) All very nice assets to varying degrees and they are way under the cap still. A decent front office could have that team into a legit contender in 2 years IMO. That said was it worth almost destroying the franchise and turning into a laughing stock for 4 years? I don't know we will see. a legit contender to lose to the cavs at best (unless lebron bolts)

    Butters is exactly what is needed to fix this thing. That and the Braves. Let's win.

    the only time i advocate sucking out loud on purpose is when there is a peyton, lebron, luck (yeah he's been iffy but as a draft prospect he was in that class iirc), shaq, etc. type talent...as far as baseball, it's got a whole other bunch of factors that make the argument entirely different like the years of development still required when drafted and the impact on draft budget, etc. i'm still not sure if it's generally prudent either way but it obviously worked out for us (both in draft picks and the dudes we were able to get as a result of sucking and not caring what happened those season).

    i seriously love how you like to give everyone crap but get so rankled and defensive when you get made fun of.

    so those are really bad takes :dontknow: like really, really bad...like butler being overly expensive is the opposite of true. it is so wrong that it makes me think your opinions on this are about as meaningful as your opinions on baseball players (i'm sorta kidding)
  6. David
    You also think Butler is "really damn expensive" and were cool with trading him for that Minnesota package, soooo....

    i could be wrong but i remember him being skeptical, at best, on addison the prospect

    Yeah... what's weird is that for the past few years, the Bulls have been this team of misfits that were good individually, but didn't fit together. We rid ourselves of Rose, Noah, and Gasol... and then go right back to making the team awkward again. I guess it should be no surprise. I'm honestly super excited about the move. Like I said before, I just really didn't want to watch the Bulls tank. This might be a total disaster, but I am anxious to watch and find out. If we can be at least kinda good, I'll be happy. yeah, at the very least i'm interested in next season now

    this is a weird team... butler is very very good, wade has been good up until now, lopez is good, rondo was good last year, but none of them really fit basketball wise, especially with what the coach supposedly wants to do. i have no idea what to expect. i could see an absolute disaster and i could see like 50 wins. mcdermott and mirotic have shown flashes of being solid nba rotational players and at other times have looked awful...hopefully they keep getting better and it's more of the former.

    We're flinging poo at the wall and hoping it sticks. We're not rebuilding. lol that's exactly what "rebuilding" in the nba would be, only with a much higher chance of being terrible
  12. David
    isn't he one of the old slow guys? who else besides wade? Who isn't other than Jimmy? doug and niko aren't old... :nono:
  13. David
    butler isn't exactly a bad 3 point shooter btw...just isn't a great one. he's good. wade and rondo, on the other hand... but wade has at least never had a PER lower than 20 in his career. he still knows how to be efficient.
  14. David
    No, the main issue is the fact that we have absolutely no long range shooting, and two big lumbering big men down low. As someone mentioned earlier, our roster is now pretty much the opposite of what the rest of the NBA is doing. That could be beneficial at times, I'm not sure. It's definitely gonna be interesting to watch these guys play together. We signed a point guard whose only real positive attribute is running transition offense and surrounded him with old, slow guys. isn't he one of the old slow guys? who else besides wade?

    as silly as I think they are, the Bulls front office may have backed into a masterstroke. They have room for 2 max deals next year I think if they dump rondo. They could make a move for Heyward or Westbrook. Rebuilding would have gotten them nowhere and wasted prime years of our current franchise player in Jimmy. They also kept Taj which we badly need for rebounding. Lopez can rebound and defend and is a solid NBA starter. The front court is weak but still the team is maybe the 2nd or 3rd best in the east. If the cavs get injured again in the playoffs who knows the bulls could do some real damage. Main issue here is the coach is a jackass I wish anybody else was coaching. hey look you actually said some good things for once that don't have to do with chicago restaurant/hotel recommendations

    warren's numbers are pretty good..how's he looking?

    Would rather everyone made it so they could use the 4 days off to recruit bryce harper

    Also, don't forget Barstool Big Cat has been seen hanging out with a lot of the Cubs players...that's probably his source.
  21. David
    Hell yeah! Posey won.

    Also funny that he's asking ESPN to report his scoop when ESPN has the selection show on their network. Like they are going to leak news from a random blogger to scoop their own selection show minutes before it airs I'm pretty sure he's joking because ESPN has a reputation for stealing stuff and not giving credit. He's making fun.

    holy crap that's some digging guess he stuck with the second girl...that or did some cutler style back and forth. hopefully she's down with vaccinations. edit: wait, nevermind...his mom referred to the baby's mom as Krystal.
  24. David
    You think Story overtakes Russell? Or Seager makes a big run?

    I think this is like the third time (and third girl) Almora has been engaged with since we drafted him. I think I remember seeing that he got this one pregnant, though. how the [expletive] you know this stuff or is this just like your processors are constantly scraping google information and you discovered it through your wedding registry database i just remember goony and others making fun of him for getting engaged (he was active on social media) when he was like 19...then suddenly there was a new girl like weeks later and we made fun of that. then he disappeared from social media because he said it was distracting him...and now he's engaged again with a baby on the way.
