2012 Chicago Bulls Off Season Thread

[god shamgod]

couple questions,

who are the bulls signing in 2014 that is supposed to be impact players that rose can run with to win some rings?

i think most bulls fans understood boozer wasnt getting traded, you hear amnesty more on that option.

if we once again strike out on free agency, what type of players will once again fill our roster out?


its very possible that deng and noah could have been traded on draft night for lottery picks and young talent. both of them have decent trade value.

at his point since we missed that boat on draft night, it makes no sense to tank. should have just maneuvered to get the full MLE, traded korver for that TPE and did what boston has successfully done, grab 2 impact guards to carry scoring til rose returns.

After summer 00 and summer '10 I have no confidence in the bulls signing any superstar free agents but they can sign impact free agents

Monta ellis,oj mayo,rudy gay,melo,lebron,bosh,bargani will be free agents that summer just to name a few

Even if they dont sign anybody they can take back someone in a trade

Having the ability to make a significant upgrade in the future is better than signing someone like courtney lee(who wouldn't make the bulls any better on offense) now

the summer of 2014 is to trade for a star not necessarily FA

basically

The GM is doing whats best money wise at this point. They bringing it cheaper replacements as of right now since rose isn't healthy.

Its depressing as a fan but I can't be mad at it.

This isnt the jerry krause days

Bulls have pippen as an ambassador,forman as gm and paxson as vp of bball operations

If rose can reach out to players and tell them to come to the chi to play wit him and try to win a titles players will come

Monta Eliis wanted to play here last summer

and if we dont get a top 2 pick next draft not making the playoffs would be for nothing.

in conclusion, the 2014 plan is a bunch of bullshyt the front office trying to spin on us to cover the fact they totally jacked up the 2012 plan they told us they had in 2010

False

Paul pierce was drafted 10th,steve nash was drafted 15th,manu ginolbli was drafted 57th overall,monta ellis was drafted 40th,dirk was drafted 9th

at this point you seem to be complaining just to complain

The bulls 2012 plan got messed up as soon as rose blew his knee out and had to be helped off the floor

Wait and see what the bulls do THEN complain,They onus is on the front office or rose can leave when his contract is up

Signing jason terry and courtney lee isnt gonna win a championship

Hinrich is slated to start at point guard while Derrick Rose recovers from knee surgery, then slide over to back up Richard Hamilton at shooting guard and possibly start there in 2013-14.

Signing Terry and Lee isn't gonna make us win a championship, but signing Kirk's bum ass is?

Letting go an elite 3 point shooter is?

Letting one of the better defensive bigs in the league is? Replacing him with Nazr f'n Mohammed is?

Signing Vlad Rad is gonna help us take that next step?

If the team said fukk it, Rose tearing his ACL closed the window on this team so we'll retool now, swapped Deng for the lotto pick, amnestied Boozer, bought some 2nd round picks to get young talent and made some other moves to cut costs, I think most of us would be cool with that.

But this plan of treading water, with the hope that we'll pull off a superstar deal in 2 years when we haven't done one the last 6-7 years we've tried, letting more talented players go and replacing them with guys who probably wouldn't be in the league if we didn't give them a deal and signing guys like Kirk to 4M a year deals makes no sense.

Mayo making 4 the first year Bayless alittle over 3

Love is their target imo and plus most of the guys available passed us up in 2010 so its unlikely that they change their minds it seems like a natural fit.

 

[red222]

The Chicago Bulls are finalizing details on a one-year deal for Marco Belinelli while also putting finishing touches on a deal that would bring Chicago native Nazr Mohammed to the Bulls, a source familiar with the situation told ESPNChicago.com's Nick Friedell.

Better hope you have $100 mil to spend. They won't trade with Chicago if they're doing well.

I thought Hinrich whole contract is worth 4 mil? and they cant take any steps if the best player is out til march

The fukk are the bulls supposed to do? Lmao courtney lee is an average sg he aint about to help beat miami

Love is their target imo and plus most of the guys available passed us up in 2010 so its unlikely that they change their minds it seems like a natural fit.

Lebron last choices were chicago and miami he chose miami cuz he wanted to play with wade and bosh,a vp of bbal operations in pat riley who has successful resume and an owner who dont give a fukk about luxury taxes unlike the bulls cheap ass owner

Playing in south beach with your boys>>>>Playing in chicago

amare canceled his meeting wit the bulls cuz new york offered him 100 mil and joe johnson re upped for 126 mil

Only choices left were david lee and boozer and the dumb ass bulls signed the worst of the 2 choices

Its not like players were blowin them off bosh and wade were always going to miami,wade made it clear he wasnt leaving

 

[jwinfield]

Kirk's whole contract is worth 8 over 2 years.
