I'm the one that's stupid. Along with Bulls management for letting him go.

 

[Matrix]

I'm the one that's stupid.

not as stupid as the Bulls, it's cool.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Remember folks, the Nuggets offered Melo to the Bulls in a trade for Deng and Noah, but the Bulls said no, because Noah was off limits. Instead, they kept Noah, got rid of Asik, and now look at how things have turned out.

I said they should have made the Melo deal, because they had an insurance policy in Asik. I hate to say I told you so, but uhhhhhhh, lol.

Robinson would jump up and punch you in the face for that talk.

I don't think it's been that long since you thought the Bulls would be insane to keep Asik and should trade him for Courtney Lee.

But Asik is awesome and the Bulls should have kept him.

What about that other L.A team. You know the one that #1 in the universe in flopping.

Rose
Lee
Melo
Boozer
Asik

Too much money.

Too much money? Asik is getting paid $5 mil this year, and Deng/Noah get paid a combined $24 mil this year. The numbers would have worked out just fine.

 

[Jake Tower]

I like Bill Simmons.

 

[Emwitus]

Dreadful Christmas games. Tomorrow's games are gonna be ten times better.

lol

 

[SoulPlaya]

If you're going to keep Noah, and thought he was "untouachable", then yes, you should trade Asik for Courtney Lee. It makes no sense to keep both when you could use one to get better at a position you desperately needed to (SG). My point was always that, if you're adamant about keeping Noah over Asik, then you shouldn't let Asik walk away for nothing, and that's what they did.

I was kidding, but that would be ~$63mil for 5 players, two of them being max players and one near max.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

What the flying hell is Matt Barnes wearing?

 

[Syphon Filter]

lol the old guy trolled lakers.

 

[friskykillface]

Haha Matt Barnes sweater

 

[Alrix]

Question: going to a game tomorrow, how early do you guys normally get to the arena if you want to watch shootarounds etc?

 

[SoulPlaya]

I was kidding, but that would be ~$63mil for 5 players, two of them being max players and one near max.

My numbers come out closer to $55 mil, but then again, I'm flexible about who the SG would be in that situation. They have Rip right now for $5 mil a year.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Magic: "How are the Clippers going to do on offense in the half-court?"

The Clippers were 4th in offense last year despite playing at near the slowest pace in the NBA and have one of the best half-court PGs in NBA history so I hope I misheard Magic there...

The Clippers are 18th in pace this year as well, they're not really a fast-break team...

Rockets/Bulls games just ended.. Let's talk about the Lakers

They just scored 120 points three times in a row and they didn't even talk about the game :lol

My numbers come out closer to $55 mil, but then again, I'm flexible about who the SG would be in that situation. They have Rip right now for $5 mil a year.

Rose is $16mil
Melo is $19mil
Boozer is $15mil
Asik is $8mil and $15 mil in year 3
Generic MLE SG is $5mil

$63mil in year one...with raises in subsequent years. No way the Bulls front office would spring for that.

At the arena about an hour before tip off time. They usually have shoot around and random ass promotional events like tossing t-shirts into the stands and what not.

 

[thekad]

Asik with 20 points, 18 rebounds, 3 blocks and +41 ahahah Thank you, Chicago.

 

[Nobility]

Bieber took Busta's soul, a crying shame.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

The hell did I just watch.

 

[NomarTyme]

Oh god is Marlon Wayne!

Denver has the best Christmas jersey.

 

[Knux-Future]

Denver probably has the best one of these jersrys so far

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

These Jersey's blow.

Of course not, and that's my point. Miami would, but not the Bulls.

 

[snack]

BALLING

 

[Coldnoodle]

Nuggets jersey's are old school

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The Nuggets are 20th in DRtg and 24th in points allowed,guess you don't need even basic NBA knowledge to get a job as a play by play guy.

But they play d doe.

Iggy is probably the only guy I'd call a defensive player.

Faried just plays hard..which leads him to be out of position.

JVG putting in work two games on one day busy christmas for him and Breen.

TNT never has to do this do they? they have enough people to cover 4 games?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Of course not, and that's my point. Miami would, but not the Bulls.

not many owners are as awesome as micky arison.

They've actually had it worse. I'm pretty sure on opening night they had Heat-Celtics then had to fly to LA to do Lakers-Mavs.

 

[SoulPlaya]

The Knicks, Celtics and Lakers would also do it, no problem. And the Bulls are in the third largest market, and routinely have the highest attendance average.

Lamar Odom is getting paid $8 million this year.

How does he get away with this shit?
