Bullshyt: The Official 2016 Chicago Bulls Offseason Thread
- Thread starter Dreamzeedream

In wake of that Rose Knicks presser, I'm going to now go watch Jerian Grant and Spencer Dinwiddie highlight clips on Youtube.
You prob only wanna watch Grant ones
shyt, Denzel was basically a PG last year, watch his triple double highlights

so this were u dudes went
10 teams I can declare CLEARLY better than us at this point with a couple question marks on a few
Cleveland, toronto, detroit, indy, ny, charlotte, miami, boston, washington, and atlanta. If Atlanta keeps horford they will be better, if Milwaukee wakes up they will be better.
This year is on Hoiberg looking like he worth the 5 years we signed him for, and jimmy balling out with some 27 8 and 6 kind of production to carry us into the offs. And even then we are likely a 1st rd exit.
But at least jerry gets into the black on revenue.
The chances of those 2 things happening are not impossible, it's just hard to fathom right now.
I think jimmy is a great player, but he imo is not the guy I can see carrying us to top 3 in the east and a ecf appearance. It would take that to become a intriguing destination for superstars in 2017. If we pull that off we can go to blake and westbrook in 2017 and say come join our stud jimmy.
It's just hard to see it playing out that way.
I’m Ready for New York
Chicago made me who I am. But it’s time for a new chapter.
My phone was ringing and ringing, but I had no idea. It was on silent. I was in the middle of an interview, cameras on me. I couldn’t make this up: I was talking about Chicago. The city, the basketball scene I came up in. How that city raised me, made me the man I am today.
A few minutes later I peeked at it and saw the notifications — missed calls, text messages, voicemails, all from my agent BJ. I called back and he told me: I was about to be traded to the New York Knicks.
“It might happen,” he said. That means it’s going to happen. He wanted me to be mentally prepared.
I had a feeling for a few weeks that a trade could be in the works. But I didn’t know for sure. There were rumors going around that I could be moved soon, and of course you hear that stuff and try to ignore it. That’s impossible. But I never let it really sink in.
The first thing I thought about was my son PJ. It’s hard enough to find time to see him during the season even when I’m in Chicago. Now I’ll be in New York, hours away. It’s a lot of miles. I know this is part of being an NBA player, though. We’ll find a way to make it work. I owe him that.
I’m so excited to move to New York City. I’ve never spent much time there—the most time I’ve been there is two or three days, and never really during the summer. Now it’ll be a solid seven months. Chicago’s a big city, but it’s kinda chill, not fast-paced like New York. Joakim Noah, who’s like a brother to me, is from Manhattan, and he’s told me a lot about it. I’m going to soak up as much knowledge about the city as I possibly can.
Chicago made me who I am. It’s tatted on my wrist. I was raised in my grandmother’s house on South Paulina Street in Englewood. Being drafted by the Bulls, becoming an All-Star and an MVP on the Bulls, helping the them make the playoffs — all of that was a dream come true. I’ll never forget it. I’ve carried Chicago with me everywhere I’ve gone, from around the country to all over the world. I always will.
I understand that this is a business and the Bulls have their plans, their own ideas with what direction they want to go with the team, but I’m gonna use this as motivation. I was with them for eight years and they let me go. There’s no hard feelings, no grudges. They’re trying to do what’s best for the team. I totally understand that. But I don’t think I would be wrong for using this as motivation.
After I hung up the phone with BJ, all sorts of emotions flowed through me. I was shocked. Anxious. I knew there was so much to handle right away, and it was all hitting me at once. Things I need to take care of — business, endorsements, where I’m going to live, who’s coming with me. I want to focus on nothing but basketball. I just want to let my game speak for itself. My voice will always be loudest on the court.
I’m 27 years old — there’s still so much ahead for me. I really believe this trade is a blessing. After all of the emotions passed through me, I started to realize how pumped I am for what comes next. I’m going to be playing alongside Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis. This is an amazing opportunity. I can’t wait.
I’m ready for New York.

Since Im not from the Chi and don't have city emotional ties to Rose like some on here I just hope this works put best for us. Wish Rose the best and wish the injuries never happened to ole boy but outside of games against us I hope he does his thing. I also hope he gets a nice welcome when he returns besides that lets go Bulls

This is pretty bad because we weren't able to prep ourselves for cellar dwelling....the rug was just pulled from underneath us..

Seeing some good things about Grant has me feeling a lil better. Guess he's the "youth and athleticism" Gar was referencing. With last season behind them, Fred and Jimmy should take the lead and get on the same page. Really I'm just hoping that we get an identity and get players that fit into that. I'm expecting to be bad, but if we can at least show signs of us building towards something, I can accept not having the talent to compete.
I blame the Chicago media....all smug with their played out Rose jokes...
