Famine...STARVATION...Delusion...RACIST: A Chicago Bulls Story (2014 Offseason Thread)

[GoldenGlove]

They were talking about it a few days ago, but I think the problem may be the "pitch" when it comes to getting these guys.

I'm not in the building, but from the outside looking it, the Bulls come off as a team/organization that's super corporate... it's like they love being safe and boring. It's prevalent with how they draft, it's prevalent with who they target in free agency, it's just something about the Bulls that's lacking from an outsiders perspective IMO. They have all the assets, a great big market/city to work with, but if they don't know how to present this to FAs and come off as being too much of a corporation then it doesn't matter. These other teams/cities give off different vibes IMO (whether it's the lifestyle or being a family)... and I think that's what Chicago has been missing over the years.

It wasn't Thibs' rule...it was a Bulls organization rule since like 2002. Also, they lifted it for Rip Hamilton, so why wouldn't they for Melo?

Change that avi pimp. That's a legend there

ESPN has learned, meanwhile, that Bulls officials are headed to LA on Thursday for sitdown with their top target after Melo: Pau Gasol

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 15s
Bulls and Thunder have emerged as two new top-flight teams in the hunt for Gasol, who has predictably been drawing considerable interest

Windhorst was just answering questions on ESPN and when asked about where Gasol would end up he mentioned that his 1st choice would be in a package deal w/Melo in Chicago.

Don't forget Gibson was not at the 1st part of the meeting. I heard their was a chance that we got both Gasol and Melo. The Bulls are all in on Melo and are going to give up whoever they really need to. There's a chance we're trying to lock up Melo and Gasol.
