2012 Chicago Bulls Off Season Thread

[cornercommission2k12]

this front office has handled nothing properly not just this off season, but last off season as well.

you have a team that has posted the best record in the league the past 2 seasons, and the fanbase is not even asking you to get dwight howard over here. we didnt whimper a bit when we didnt get in on eric gordon.

we as fans were just asking to re tool and get some guys slightly better than korver, cj, brewer and john lucas. thats not hard, those guys were minimally skilled and there were players getting less than them playing better for other teams. we asking can you get a obvious hindrance off our team in boozer. these are moves any half way decent gm can make. we all hated krause but krause would have gotten this done


and even getting kirk hinrich is just a pacifying move. they figure since kirk gets ovations everytime he returns to the united center than means the fans will just ride with the team we put out there, even if we are mediocre.

and if we going to tank why not ship deng and noah off and amnesty boozer?

now we are going to be paying our starting 5 close to 60 million dollars to look terrible

that is a offenses worth being handed the pink slips. no excuse for this embarrassment of a off season.

This shyt hurts I had mad hope they coulda grabbed mayo

Now watch courtney lee be the target that nikka is a fukkin back up

dog lee is more than a backup.

he just was behind martin. who he basically is the next gen player of.

imo, lee is the best fit guy for this team as a starter next to rose.

lee can fill it up, in the right environment.

stop just watching stats and look at the complextion/pedigree of the player in actual games.

This is the WOAT offseason.

 

[Art Barr]

Well that's that. Maybe Michael redd can give the bulls the finger next

redd is basically the arthroscopic knee operated 2.o version of rip.

who probably after so many injuries is older on court than rip himself.

he is a good back up for rip. yet,..i would like a more explosive sg than him.

he plays like the hobbled lazier version of joe johnson. in only one mode as a spot up shooter.

it could work as a sg two headed monster, coupled with rip cause he is extemely coachable.

yet i think the bulls need a more dynamic dribble drive styled pg as a starter.

which red and rip at this point are not.

there was a point in time when redd was the bigger better version.

of the big ten sg like eric gordon before gordon, was even in the league.

those days could be behind him..

we are not going to get lee.

when we didnt give them asik, we could forget about lee at that point.

only way we can get lee is if we work out a S&T with atlanta for kirk and lee takes the MMLE,

lee aint taking no mmle

so that would mean houston would be willing to do a trade where they give us lee and they get the TPE. any calls from us to houston will be getting the dial tone. they not dealing with us.

mayo was the target. again if it comes out that mayo gets 8 mill or more, than i understand losing him, but its some reports out of dallas that he will actually be getting less than what we could have worked out for him with the TPE due to the little cap space dallas had left.

and if thats the case, dudes should be fired.

Same ol same ol. I'm numb to it all now.

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

This team not winning next season, hopefully they miss the playoffs so they can get a lottery pick. Trade Deng and amnesty Boozer next year and go after a much better free agency class next summer

 

[beenz]

My question is if the FO is clearly saying fukk it this season, why aren't Deng Noah and on the trade block???? They should have been on the lock before the draft if this were the plan come free agency. We all know why boozer is still on the team. And that's cuz cheap JR ain't gonna eat the last three yrs of that contract.

Boozers deal is up there with shards and Gilbert's right now. And if ferry was able to ship joe Johnson, why couldn't we give boozer away?

been saying the same thing all season

if we going to pay booz, noah, rip and deng all that money to be here then get them some help to keep the boat floating until rose gets back, otherwise get them contracts outta here and start from scratch. and in this draft with all that potential we should have unloaded on players then.

only thing that saves this off season now is to trade for dwight. let him rose and scrubs try to make a run this playoffs and if he bounces we have a clean slate and try to get rose a legit team with a ton of cap space and hopefully some pics we can acquire with whatever remaining assets we have after trading for d12

rolling kirk and some vet min bums out there with booz, noah, deng and rip is just embarrassing. this will be a hard season to watch. still chi til i die but i cant trash talk anymore

one of my close friends is a heat fan and we went at it continuously for the past couple seasons, after rose tore his acl the trash talk diminished some and during this off season when he sees me it aint even him boasting anymore, dude just feels sorry for me and the rest of us bulls fans. he talks to me with pity now lol

 

[Morethan1]

Yall know what i'm trying to say.

 

[Morethan1]

I dont understand why Gar and Pax don't get on a plane with Rose. And fly to where ever Dwight is rehabbing and trying to pursue him. I dont understand for the life of me. We will still have a okay core.

Reports are out that Lakers are now back in the mix. The Lakers like the Bulls are not on his short list. At least fukking try instead of sitting on your fukking hands.

Nah I cant agree

Courtney lee isnt what the bulls need,bulls need a sg like monta ellis or oj mayo who can create their own offense,shoot and make plays

Courtney lee is a geat player in transition,solid 3 point shooter but he isnt a player you cann give the ball in iso's and get buckets he an average sg like arron afflalo

And I watch the games.I remember lee when he was on the magic and lebron tried to chase him down and missed twice and kind of got dunked on.I aint saying lee is trash but he isnt that sg that miami or the rest of the nba has to worry about

 

[Jplaya2023]

At this point we need to just start shedding cap space and make a free agency run in 2013.

Rose does not need to rush back this year and play with this team.

Might as well get a lottery pick.

Worse case is competing winning 40-45 games getting a pick 16-20 that can't help us in the immediate future.

Honestly this core maxed out the last 2 seasons with rose and without. The cheat has only gotten better since then.

these idiots missed the boat on shedding cap space and tanking the season. that should have happened on draft night.

basically the bulls front office have successfully wasted a season of rose's career. this is his legacy taking a hit because basically he will have to come back and carry this team on a knee that is newly rehabbed.

we will be the worst tax paying team in the league next season
