Pun intended .. cc: garpax

 

[HNIC973]

lets look on the bright side

we went 7-1 against the #1 and 2 seeds

Bron could be going 2-5 in the finals

draft comin up

our future looks good(Portis, Felicio, Mcdermott)

might be close to Garpax getting fired thanks to missing.

Its not a brightside until GarPax GTFOH

Seems he has somewhat the same ideas that we have

We need a back up pg, a new athletic wing and a center who can protect the rim.

I'm just not sure how we got all those in free agency and in the draft.

Draft PG, sign Batum (or Fournier, Barnes), bring back Noah?

Would probably have to move Duns/Taj to make that work tho

Or try to get Whiteside to fill that center void

Or try to get Whiteside to fill that center void

That would be the ideal offseason, but I don't think there is any chance of us getting him

Important answers from McGraw's AMA

GarPax Job Security:

No, and keep in mind their main mission is to keep the building full. No problems there.

About Noah & Horford teaming up:

Both would have to take a little less than market value, most likely, for it to happen.

About Felicio:

Not much to add to this. You're right, Felicio turned out to be much better than expected.

Grab Durant:

They should give Durant a call; could have the cap space to sign him. Whether he wants to play here is up to him.

Butler & locker room

There has been mild tension, but nothing alarming. I think Jimmy can get a "Why don't these guys work as hard as me" attitude and who can blame him? Don't think it's a big deal. How many teammates (besides Pau) liked playing with Kobe?

Has Butler personality changed

Not really, he's just figuring out how to be the main guy.

Keep Taj

Maybe, but you have to remember what a great guy Taj is. Hard-worker, plays hurt, team player, great in community, everyone likes him. I'd keep him.

About Dunleavy

I agree, they don't really need him, but he is under contract

About getting an experienced assistant:

They probably will try to add someone. Ship may have sailed on Collins. Remember, he wanted to come back and assist Bill Cartwright, but BC said no. Then he wanted to be head coach during the Vinny search.

If Rose & Butler can work:

I think they can. A couple things to keep in mind: Rose has been the main guy on every team since 7th grade. Butler has never been a main guy (except maybe at Tyler CC) until now, so they're both adjusting. Rose missing all of training camp this season didn't help, either. Personally, I think both will be back next year.

Hoiberg security:

Unless something really weird happens, I think Hoiberg should be safe until mid-third season. The only way Reinsdorfs would think about axing Gar/Pax is if there are empty seats at the UC and the team is not competitive. Some might recall a 40-pt loss at Indiana in 2002-03, then a few days later Krause was resigning.

If Rose & Butler can coexist, if Butler should be traded, will Rose resign, Gar/Pax, Pau

Of course they can coexist. I'd trade Butler only if they get a top-15 player in return. 2. Impossible to say on Rose. How well does he play next year and what are his salary demands? 3. I don't think there's anything major going on with Gar/Pax. Everyone's going to disagree at times. 4. Wouldn't blame anything on Pau necessarily, but it was clear his refusal to step out on screen & rolls bothered teammates.

ET:

They're definitely interested in bringing back E'Twaun. If some team decides he's a starter and offers a nice salary, he's got to take it. Otherwise, I think he's probably back next year.

Portis:

Portis has been a pleasant surprise and I think what you like to see are useful skills. He can score in the post, hit the face-up jumper, run the floor, get offensive rebounds. Defense is probably the biggest question with him right now. The guys who are going to be very good usually (not always) rise quickly, so it will be interesting to see if he takes a step forward next season.

This one really confirmed what we all thought -

"No, and keep in mind their main mission is to keep the building full. No problems there."

&

"I often remind Bulls fans to keep this in mind: Winning championships is great, but the limited partners win a title every year when that profit-sharing check arrives. A second-round playoff loss while leading league in attendance is a successful season from owners' perspective."



we gotta stop going to games and shyt to get the change we want cuz uncle jerry just sees $$$$
