the NBA's problem is that is has 30 teams. There's maybe 3-4 four franchise caliber players and like you said, one star makes the difference. there's just not enough talent for 30 teams which is why 1/3rd of the league tanks
then you have half the league only in it for the money. because why do they care about a championship when you're paying them $7 million a year to sit on the bench for 82 games?
nba has more problems than the current draft system.

I think the Jefferson signing makes sense. The celts are out of contention, the 6ers are rebuilding and the east is WIDE open for the final few seeds. Jefferson instantly improves their paint presence and is a good veteran to help change the culture. It's a good building block and they're probably hoping for their young guys to take more steps forward.
What?

He's a decent ball handler, not as good of a three pointer as some of your other guys, but serviceable. I'll miss him, but one thing that drove me crazy about him is that sometimes he's careless with the ball and commits turnovers, but not as bad as Manu did in the Finals.
As long as they don't make the playoffs, they have as good a chance as anybody. I mean, it's not like having the worst record actually makes a difference in the drawing.
That's it? $3M? They said he would be wayyyyy out of the Bulls price range? The fuck is the Bulls price range, then?
Not bad but I thought shooters weren't really SA's problem.
I'm confused. Is this supposed to make Lakers fans feel bad?
Isn't Kobe going to be out for a long time tho? And Stern will probably rig the draft along with Mitch pulling off some voodoo magic or jedi-mind trick or something.

Minimum. The owner doesn't really care that much about the Bulls. I remember him saying he would have traded Jordan's titles to win the World Series. That's when I realized just how lucky Bulls fans are that Jordan became the leagues cash cow because I don't think the owner would have spent money on the them for all those years if Jordan wasn't.

i wonder how shitty the bulls would be if thibs wasnt the coach. i feel like hes able to get the most out of any players even though he tends to burn them out over the season.

You really expect Kobe to be a net positive after an Achilles injury?
Holy fuck LOL

the Bulls are cheap as shit. You of all people should know this.
Bulls pull out the wallet for the BIG NAMES, baby: $14 mil for Deng, $7.6 mil for Taj, possibly $5 mil for Rip...

So, who's going to overpay Nate Robinson?
I don't know how he's gonna be post injury, but i do know he's one of the hardest workers the game has seen, either way a 10th or 11th seed out west probably isn't good enough for the first pick right?
I AM?!?
I have no idea who you are. Former Knicks fan?
Just like George Washington was a former Brit. I'm fighting to liberate my city from the tyranny of a fucktard.
Uhhh Washington was born in Virginia.

We got a live one here.
Better than having to defend Dolan's dumbassery year in and year out while pretending that I like what he puts on the floor.

another cool thing about cavs picking up EC6 is that it gives us a better chance of keeping cope alive

Who in their right mind defends James Dolan? There's not a real Knicks fan out here that likes him, especially after that whole Isiah fiasco.
The same Copeland that can't rebound, dribble, and defend? This team hasn't improve not one bit. They gambled on Bargnani to be a semblance of what he use to be, which was nothing to begin with.

he can still score. plus, what are our options exactly? we cant really do shit.
hopefully he can become at least a serviceable rebounder over the course of the season.

There's no way this team wins 50+ games again next year. The book is already out on them. Take away the 3 and let Carmelo beat himself up.

maybe not but no one thought wed get as far as we did last season with our old and moldy roster. at best, second round exits for the next few years. im cool with that considering short of a miracle, theres nothing we can do. i have come to accept this fate
what are our options?

I'm well aware of that quote. I root for Chicago teams because I was born in the area. I root for the city of Chicago, not the Reinsdorfs, McCaskeys, or Rickets for that matter. As cheap as Reinsdorf is, the Bulls will still be better than the Nets and the Knicks next season.
Ccrazy. They still have another decent vet top.

Strong indications today that NBA Finals hero Gary Neal will NOT be back with San Antonio. Which is why Spurs moved so fast on Belinelli
:/ I'll be sad to see Neal go, but we have a log jam at SG/PG. WOuld like to get a decent back up SF for Kawhi

It's not like Reinsdorf can make cap space appear out of nowhere. I don't get your reasoning.

Maybe they don't want to embarrass themselves by kissing his ass just to have him sign with Houston. Dwight should be smart enough to realize Cuban's reputation, the championship they won a few years ago, and the way Dallas goes after big names.

They're the only team to beat the Heat in the finals. And Jim Carrey is always good for a laugh.
