I'm already sick of Cousins. He's such a dirty player and he gets away with murder under the basket. I don't like watching all of his antics, and he's clearly unstable.

I'm already sick of Cousins. He's such a dirty player and he gets away with murder under the basket. I don't like watching all of his antics, and he's clearly unstable.
I dispute this because I don't think Cousins could operate a VCR.
This actually wouldn't surprise me, kids these days.
We did try for Eric Gordon this past year. I also think we'll wind up trading Gortat and going for the complete tank either by the trade deadline or the draft. We'll probably finish with a top 5 pick this year but next year will be the real prize and without Gortat and probably Dudley, we should be competing for Wiggins.
He was super cheap. He's a good trade asset amongst a team with barely any assets. He can hopefully help mentor Markief Morris.
We can only hope that Scola doesn't actually do any mentoring. We don't need more guys getting stomped on in this league. It's just bad PR.

Maybe we just need to accept that he isn't good. Pat Riley dumped him for some seconds, Rick Adelman had no use for him, and now Gentry doesn't want to play him ahead of Jared Dudley or PJ Tucker. At a certain point, it's not everybody else.
Don't worry. They'll try to "build a winning culture" again, win 3 games they shouldn't, and fuck it up and finish 7th in the draft, 2 games out of 3rd or something. Every year, guaranteed. You're good.
This Raps season may rank as the #2 worst season I have ever experienced in my sports viewing life. #1 as of now still goes to the Leafs season when they gave up the #2 pick to Boston.
If we end up drafting #4 this year this may take it's place.

Are you just numb to the pain that the Browns inflict on you or something?
All Toronto teams and the Browns.
You've got to be a new level of shit for me to feel awful about the team.
I have no hopeful optimism about this team going forward as it stands. My hope was for Andrew Wiggins next year but with this lottery pick being taken away from us I can't even hope for that yet.

McHale wants ball in Lins hands more
Sure doesn't seem like it...
Neat comparison in terms of numbers but Parker was a different player coming into the league. Parker was blindingly quick and a lot younger (wasn't he like 17 when he first entered the league?) whereas Lin isn't and relies a bit more on his lateral agility. However I do agree with Parker's assessment that a solid jumper will do wonders for the rest of Lin's offensive game (and is the reason why he's playing so inconsistently this year)

I don't think he's permed, but he should dodge any thread discussing women because he gets caught in circles more often than Adam gets caught slipping in Halo 4.

Wouldn't have the pick being taken away from us increase the chances? OKC can't take our pick in 2014 and we're shittier without a 4th or 5th pick than with.
Only thing we gotta hope for is Colangelo to get the boot cause that guy is an idiot. He'll probably make some desperate trade so we end up 8th.
It's really pathethic how despite his best efforts, he can't even reach his goal of us becoming a treadmill team. What a joke.
lol I don't mind if Casey stays. He's a shitty coach but I mean if you don't have the talent to compete then what do you expect? Get some decent talent and then replace him because this rapid cycling through coaches does not bode well for the franchise.
Banned right before the season started must sting.
Also, in retrospect, the Bulls not even making a push at O.J. Mayo this last off-season seems like one of the biggest wasted opportunities in recent memory.
Instead they're stuck with Marco Belinelli, Nate Robinson and the corpse of Richard Hamilton at their SG position while all at the same time paying Luol Deng and Carlos Boozer a combined 28 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS this season.
Yeah, but then again I doubt anyone you get with a top-3 pick next year will make you a playoff team or anything. Guys like Noel and Zeller will probably be good eventually, but they're not gonna add 20 wins.
Just so I'm clear, the pick is top 3-protected in 2013, top 2-protected in 2014, and only #1 protected in 2015?
I'm not even sure who we'd pick if we end up picking 4th or 5th this year.

He wasn't very good.
He actually showed a lot of promise in short stretches in Memphis, but it was clear his last 2 seasons with the Grizz really inhibited his play.
Regardless, I don't think anyone could've predicted that he would be able to produce so consistently at this kind of level after a move.

People weren't even sure if Mayo could be a consistent 6th man. Can't fault teams for steering clear, Dallas just got lucky this time.
Wonder if it could have been worked out in Memphis. That Tony Allen Tiger Uppercut on the team plane must have fucked with his mind.

He's obviously dreamed of being a #1 option. So with Dirk out and it being a contract year for him it's not hard to see why he's showing good behavior.
We'll see where's at 2 seasons from now.

The Grizzlies only reduced his role because he was hurting the team and terrible.
Which he'll go back to when he goes back to being an average shooter.
His contract is for two years with a 3rd year player option so I wouldn't say that has much to do with it.
The guy needed a change of scenery more than anyone else in the league, I think. Too much drama and tension centered around him in Memphis his last two years.
While I don't expect him to be shooting 49%/53% FG/3PT for the whole season, I don't see his numbers dropping that significantly by the time the Playoffs start.

He signed a 2 year contract, with next year being a player option. He's going to opt out. This year is pretty much a proving year for him.

Andrew Nicholson leading all rookies in TS%, and third in PER behind Brow and Drummond.
Suns highlights, I know it's mostly on Luis Scola but when you have higher picked guys like Marshall and Rivers playing sub D-League level it aint that bad.

Same. Always liked the guy, wasn't sure he was this good but figured he..
Cause once you get into a legit fight with a team mate, it's pretty much game over.

does the bulls amnesty boozer to grab him? Ya'll know they wanted him before? If boozer is on the market along with Josh Smith a team that misses out on Josh Smith could get a good consolidation prize,

Some people really do just need a change of scenery to turn things around. I know because I've been there myself.

Well his contract is up and he has done nothing for our team so I am presuming MLSE will do the right thing and replace him.
i'm pretty sure dmz did the same
also i had a mayo high school jersey i knew homeboy would make it big eventually :3
I don't know... maybe he actually is becoming a better shooter? On the Mavs broadcast yesterday Dirk was praising Mayo's dedication towards shooting and practice. He said he is pretty much doing what Dirk used to do as a younger player, practice before games, after games, before practice and after practice. Dirk said after he left the Andrea Bocelli concert in Dallas the other night( which was at the AAC) Mayo was still in the practice facility just shooting, which was around 11 PM.
