Support NeoGAF

Don't think so. Unless they amnesty boozer. They've got Noah, Boozer and a max rose on the books. That's like 43M or so right there. And taj is getting his too. that's an even 50M or so.

Sham sports is down so i don't know who is coming off the books exactly, but none of those guys i believe.

And reinsdorf (bulls owner i believe?) isn't known for being.. a big spender in terms of salary at all. So it's really unlikely that he'll amnesty boozer to max someone else.

If the bulls wanted to make a run at melo, it's probably the best way to do it.

trade Boozer for an expiring contract and some picks.

edit-

Melo wants the Bird rights max. I think the bulls can only give it to him if acquired in a trade.

The Knicks need some draft picks and prospects. If they can get Butler, Snell and either Mrotic or the bobcats pick, it could take them out of limbo.

For the bulls a core of Rose, melo, Noah and Taj could be fantastic.

Basically a supped up Thunder.

Boozer is signed through next season...Add in Gibson at 9mil and yea, there's no way of doing it through FA.

This is one of the dumbest articles ever.

Not really. He is a ball stopper. Parsons pretty much said this in post game comments. Nobody is saying he isn't good, but he needs to chill with all of the iso terribad shots.

Missed the game. All starters were in double figures by half? Not bad

Good to see future Rocket Kevin Love put up a decent performance.

 

[msdstc]

I love Rose. I saw him take steamy dumps all over Chris and TP and was the best PG alive. But that guy may be gone forever.

Now Russell has the same question marks to a certain extent. But at least what I saw from him earlier in the season is encouraging.

Well we'll see if the knees hold up going forward, but a meniscus tear of his kind is no career ender, it really shouldn't affect his game. I don't know about YNB at this point given the multiple surgeries on it, I have to imagine they removed at least a chunk.

edit- IMO Rose was never a true PG. CP3 with a 100% knee was significantly better than Drose.

The soon-to-be number one pick just put up 6/6 tonight in a loss to an unranked team.

IWMTB am cry.

 

[Smokey]

Pistons beat the Spurs

how

2 games back + tie breakers may be able to catch them.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The 76ers are going to have the worst point differential for an 16+ win team ever assuming that they can win again this season.

He was sitting out a bit of the game due to tweaking his back a bit. He hasn't been that good for a few games now though. No one really has which is...Really not good (this is the time when Davis and Noel really started to explode and other guys have established themselves as well).

TT coaching Melo will be awesome, one way or another.

CP3 bone on bone is significantly better than Rose.

As much as we make fun of the Knicks, I think Melo will adapt to Thibs defensive philosophies.

Jabari did have 29-15 and 3 blocks the other night.

Thibs will help for sure,even woodson got melo to play decent defense.

He did, but that was one of his first good games of ACC play. Hopefully the first ACC games were just a slump and the BC performance of more of the real him, but I don't think he's really been playing well over his last few games.

Yeah, it's the one potential massive positive from it.

 

[Mik317]

Is this draft not good as advertised?

 

[Teriyaki]

its Boozer & Buttler for Melo & Shumpert.

I guess it depends how good you think Buttler is?

If i'm the bulls, i do it. They really don't lose anything. Again, that is unless you think Buttler really will become good.

And ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

That Bargs, Boozer, Amare rotation at PF would be the worst D money can buy.

Bulls would be idiots to not do this as long as Mirotic isn't in the deal.

I seriously wonder if some of these guys play like shit, and don't get worried about ever getting another contract.

Like, surely you'd be worried about it?

Hawes is 7ft tall.

Turner still can trick someone with his 2nd overall and POTY stuff.

I doubt anyone here said that. But I damn sure said this team was trash after everyone busted a nut over their 3-0 start.

 

[pilonv1]

MVP Speights

[Retrocide]

The sixers are who everyone thought they were at the beginning of the season....but to lose like this....

Bobcats?

Seattle?

 

[CrookedRain]

Why are the Warriors still playing starters? Should be going 13 deep like the Clippers did.

Bogut, Nedovic out, only have 10 dressed and Kuzmic, Brooks & Bazemore are trash.

Even your trash can't blow this big of a lead to the Sixers. They are truly terrible.

 

[msdstc]

Are the sixers the worst team of all time?

 

[pilonv1]

Games like this are why the Warriors need Seth Curry on the bench.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Are the sixers the worst team of all time?

Before tonight, they rated as the 16th worst team ever going by SRS:

http://bkref.com/tiny/KqDcg

This loss will put them close to the top 10 of the worst and they could easily move to 3rd worst by the end of the season, but the 2012 Bobcats and 1993 Mavs aren't catchable at this point.

SRS isn't adjusted for pace though and the 76ers play at a super fast pace like 80s teams which makes them rate worse than other, modern terrible teams. That the 2012 Bobcats managed a -14 margin of victory while playing at a slow pace against a schedule with few Western Conference teams is just legendary.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

zep, your team sucks, chump

 

[msdstc]

Also if Steph can keep that ankle healthy he'll destroy Ray's record.

 

[Mik317]

MCW getting his stats in garbage time lol

2k lets go for real this time and dont stall like you always do

 

[AcridMeat]

Missed the game, just saw the score.

Speights with 32/8. My god Philly...

Oh and 27 minutes 7 turnovers for ALL STAR STARTER STEPH CURRY

 

[Syphon Filter]

MCW getting his stats in garbage time lol

gotta keep dat ROTY award.

 

[illmatic22]

Not even mad, Sixers getting destroyed like this isnt any worse than having to watch them fight to get to .500 with no hope of ever competing for a title. At least this means a top lotto pick.
