Bullshyt: The Official 2016 Chicago Bulls Offseason Thread

[LEEeveryday]

I guess Rose really was leaving in free agency....He must be a real dikk or SOMETHING...like...something may not be right that the public isn't privy to..

Here's the thing: GarPax aren't going anywhere. I've accepted that. If running Thibs out of town and missing the playoffs in the fukking East didn't do it, nothing will. I'm done bytching about them and what they did in the past. It sucks but this is how it is.

Taking this deal at face value + the implications for Noah and Gasol (gone) + turning the keys over to Butler + (hopefully) letting Hoiberg put together a roster he likes (I don't trust him but I'm choosing to be optimistic for at least one more year)...I'm ok with where they sit right now.

I understand people want a full rebuild but the only way that happens is if we give Jimmy away for basically nothing, and with his contract that doesn't make sense to me.

Looking at everything together I'm not happy with this team but given the reality of the situation I think this is the best they could have done right now. And I doubt they're done dealing.

Jimmy Butler was the main culprit at being the problem in Hoiberg's offense. All the isolations and ball hogging he did was a direct "fukk you" to what Fred wanted the team to be doing.

I don't get how turning the keys over to Jimmy on offense is ideal for Hoiberg's offense. The dude showed me time and time again, that he was going to go out of his way to do whatever he wanted to do. Unless he buys in, it's going to be the same story. His EGO probably will be even more out of control now that the organization just traded Rose away. Dude gonna come into camp like, "I'm the captain now".

"We're excited about the three guys we're getting."

This reeks of Vince Carter being traded for Eric and Aaron Williams, and Alonzo Mourning.

Gar confirmed what I said in the other thread.

Wonder if this Calderón piece is to keep Pau with the Bulls

Maybe so. I can see it going both ways. He might see this as a sign that the FO/Hoiberg are willing to commit to him thus causing him to buy in.

Also, I saw Rose's refusal to push the tempo as an equal culprit.

If I was Pau I'd be first in line to wherever KD is going. And if I can't make it there I'm in a Knicks jersey. Why stay in red?

Wow we actually did it I was expecting the Era to end, but I'm shocked.

I don't now bro, I saw Rose pushing the pace much more than I saw Jimmy.

Rose was far more willing to move the ball than Jimmy was all last season.

Gasol isn't coming back to this shyt.

He picked the Bulls because he thought we were a contender, he's signing with a top team this summer.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Move makes me think they going to go and sign Harrison Barnes now

Grant
Jimmy
Barnes
Portis
Lopez



Throw in a combo guard that they draft

Ehhh, Rose went in to chuck mode just as often I feel. And it was worse because he's washed at this point. It was basically a power struggle between them and Jimmy won out.

I don't know. I'm choosing to stay optimistic at this point because I have a lot of respect for Jimmy as a player and a person so I expect him to figure it out as the definite number one option. I hope I'm not wrong.

Refusal to push the tempo? GTFO

I remember Hoiberg calling out Rose for his pace
