I understand not being thrilled about it. I would rather pay Gibson. It's just the general feeling of Bulls fans on here seems to be that the team sucks. I think your team is still pretty good and should be an excellent defensive team.

Who knows if Rose will be back this upcoming season. But even if he isn't, I don't see why the future isn't bright for them. If the Bulls have a bad season, they will get a high draft pick. If they have a good season, Derrick Rose could be a boost later in the season.

Yow Bulls fan your star player tore his ACL? Ours broke his foot for like 3-4 straight seasons then retired. You'll be ok.

I agree this has been blown out of proportion. And had Rose not torn his ACL then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Fans, as well as me, are frustrated that the Bulls appear afraid to spend and we are just sitting around doing nothing while the other big markets/contenders aside from the Thunder are active.

Knicks? Lin, Camby, Kidd, Smith, Novak, Copeland, Prigioni
Nets? Johnson, Williams, Lopez, Wallace, Teletovic, R. Williams
Heat? Allen, Lewis
Lakers? Nash
Celtics? Terry, Green, and looking at others
Spurs? Duncan, Green, Diaw, Mills, de Colo
Thunder? Quite usual self lol
Clippers? Odom, Crawford, Billups, Blake Griffin Max deal

But I don't think it is the doomsday it appears to be, it's just frustrating since we're the only big market afraid to spend

But I was crazy tho 2 weeks ago to think we should have traded Deng and Noah now for youth while their value has peaked.

Yes, this situation is going to be wwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better.

Oh you're definitely still crazy. You thought/think we can net a top five pick in a deep draft for Deng or Noah. That plan is just as insane as trying to bank on free agents again to come here in two years.

Hey man, you never know. The IllumiNBAti might just be colluding to keep the public glued to their TVs.

More importantly, it gives me an opportunity to use this gif:

Na. Not the illuminati.

This time its Aliens.

Yeah, about the top 5 pick trade. I think on ESPN someone just suggested it as good trade for both sides, but it was never actually rumored.

No way that Noah and the 29th gets you Evans and the 5th pick IMO

Bulls are looking at Anthony Tolliver. Anything more than the minimum is overpaying for him.

OJ/Beasley paring would be pretty funny

So I see McGee and DeAndre Jordan get 40 and 50 mill a piece. The NBA...

OJ Mayo @JuiceMayo32

Jus landed in phx for first meeting

The Nuggets have offered JaVale McGee a 5-year, $50 million contract, a source confirmed.

McGee, a 24-year-old center, averaged 10.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20 regular-season games played for the Nuggets last season

McGee and his representatives are expected to continue to negotiate with Denver.

SMH.

I don't even want to think what's going to happen when that guy gets paid.

Are you serious right now Denver?

Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (All Transactions 1st Page)

Calderon deal could happen by tomorrow. Seems like teams are waiting to see who gets Brand(or just how much he'll go for), before seeing if they're interested in Calderon.

Brand is going to highest bidder, but will he play for Toronto if Raptors get him?

Or could this be an Alonzo Morning type of thing all over again, where Raptors get him, and he didn't want to play for them. Or could be Jermain O'Neal type of thing where he never played like how the Raptors wanted him to play.

Is Toronto the front runner to get him? I thought I heard about Dallas really looking into him.

Don't know if they're the frontrunner, but isn't it just the highest bidder gets him?

I mean, I'd imagine it is, but he did express his personal interest in playing with Dallas. But again, with this year's FA you never know...

I think he could be a good fit on LAL's bench playing backing minutes for Gasol and Bynum.

The even more funny thing about it? The fact that it says he and his agent are going to continue negotiating with Denver. Ummm....dude you're already at overpaid status with the deal they're offering. What else is there to negotiate? At this point, take the deal get your undeserved money and keep it moving before Denver realizes how stupid they are.

Seriously... 50 million dollar to get a little over 1000 blocks over the next five seasons. And thats being generous...

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go Sprewell and talk himself out of best deal available for him.
