Shit we need to find a way to get Dwight Howard. Head case he is but we need to get back on track quickly. Fuckin' Boozer's contract.
To get Dwight Howard the talk has always been Deng, Noah and Taj at the least. I doubt that it's happening.
And with yesterday's trade I'm assuming that New Orleans may no longer be in play for the 10th pick and a player.
It'll be nice if we could hustle the Wizards out of the 3rd pick but it's not likely. It also looks like Blatche will be available via amnesty after this next season.
I think dude's been listening to some of them kats on realgm's Bulls forum. Even after KC Johnson confirmed that Rose's is just getting a second opinion and is doing great, people on there are still

OMG I hate them Realgm niggas, they about to suffocate themselves over this shit. D Rode is fine, niggas are too paranoid.
They saying Kings offered
Garcia + #5 for Deng (Kings Offered)
Garcia or Salmons + Evans + #5 for Deng + Gibson + Bobcats Pick (Kings Offered)
Evans + #5 for Deng + Future Pick + Bobcats Pick (Bulls Offered)
Calderon + Davis + #8 for Deng
Calderon + #8 for Deng
Davis + #8 for Deng
I'd do this and draft Jeremy Lamb at 8!
I have to agree of all those Calderon,Davis and the pick for Deng is the best deal. Calderon takes the PG spot for the time being and Davis is a young, athletic player who gives you rebounding and shot blocking. He is insurance for Asik and Taj and is only 22. I was thinking about this and at 8 there would be some intriguing options from Lamb or Terrence Ross to Terrence Jones or Meyers Leonard even Dion Waiters. I also wonder if the Bulls would consider Lillard if he was available.
I also would not part with the pick from the Bobcats.
Jabari Parker.

John Paxon is a bitch and is too damn scared to make a big move. He lucked up on D.Rose, the rest of his drafts were safe pics and he is horrible in landing a big free agent or making a big trade.
I agree on his drafting, but I wont lay blame on not landing a top FA all on him. IMO the city, and the organization sells itself. The same way people want to go to NYC, or L.A. Last offseason the money was there, and the core of the team was good enough to lure FAs, but for one reason or another we got looked over... This happens ALLOT!!! Not just with sports, but all around. We never get the credit we deserve. You have to be from the Chi to appreciate it. It aint easy like L.A., and we dont have the glitz of NYC, and normally when FAs come to town they arent wowed, or got wowed by something the Chi cant provide. Such is life though, but I cant pin that aspect on Pax...

I find it hard to say his drafts suck when our team is noted for its depth & most our guys were drafted onto the team.
I dont think he meant his drafting sucks as much as its just... Safe... Boring... No swing for the fences... Granted, hell rarely strike out, but I never expect to be wowed by anyone he drafts... Even D-Rose I was kinda lukewarm on coming out of college. But he took the best available and Im happy he did.

He's drafted
03: Hinrich
04: Gordan & Deng
05: None
06: Tyrus & Sefolasha (missed on Tyrus but Sef started on the WC champs)
07: Noah
08: D. Rose
09: James Johnson (who starts in Tor) & Taj & Asik
10: Traded the pick to go after Lebron
11: Jimmy Butler who has played well enough to get Brewer outta here
12: Teague (jury is still out but consensus says this is a steal considering we were eyeing Doron Lamb)
That's 12 picks. Of the 12 picks, the jury is still out on Butler and Teague. Of the ten remaining picks all of them are starters (with the exception of Taj who should start over Boozer and Asik will go to Hou where he will start)! Now Tor and Cha are good so Johnson and Tyrus arent normal NBA starters but they are rotational players.
I challenge anyone to find me a GM that is batting 80% on picks that you can grade. Of the ten picks where we can grade players, all of them are in the 7 man rotation. oh and 6 of those ten made the all-rookie team. Paxson is the best drafter in the NBA.
If you look back on the draft results since 2003, you'll see that it ain't like we missed out on any great players selecting the players they chose. Maybe Josh Smith in 2004 who sunk to 17, our pick was 7 and we got Deng, and that's the only player worth mentioning.
But he's been getting the best of what was available.
That Tyrus Thomas for Lamarcus Aldrige trade bit us in the ass though.

Well it's official, CJ and Ronnie are gone. The decision on Kyle will be made by/on Sunday.
And for some reason, the Bulls are meeting with Jonny Flynn (another point) on Friday.

Bulls' Rose: 'I'm going to be all right'
In his first public comments since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on April 28, Derrick Rose posted a 45-second video on YouTube Friday in which he thanks fans for their support and vows to return.
"Thank you for all your support, your prayers, cards, messages, emails, just checking up on me," a relaxed Rose said. "I know I haven’t been out there but I appreciate everything. I appreciate you all who have been watching this video. I just been having therapy, going to therapy every day.
"Hopefully, you all will see me back out there. My biggest concern is don’t worry about me. I know I’m going to be all right. I know that I’m healthy. I know that I’m positive. I believe in God. So I should be back on the court soon. I hope that you support not only me but the Bulls."

So far:
Kirk Hinrich, Vladimir Radmonovic, and Nazr Mohammad, these signings does not exactly scream excitement. Gone are CJ, Kyle, and Asik(almost certain). This is an evaluation year that is for sure.
I predict the Bulls will finish between 4-6 seed in the EC.

What I dont get is why there was the rush to dismantle the team.
Ok look you lost in the first round....fine
but there was the belief that you had enough there that you were finals bound(I disagreed but that is neither here or there)
So now they are blowing it up in the hopes of doing what exactly?
To stay on the good side of the new CBA.
If they're going to spend extra money on tax penalties and shit, they want it to at least be for a championship squad.
Just signing those 3 put us at the 76 million or so cap, but at least we got enough players.
It's just that their moves this season have been confusing, like why they couldn't find a taker for Deng or why they didn't get an extra draft pick or 2 or why they signed Hinrich and drafted a PG, instead of just keeping CJ (who wouldn't have cost that much more) and drafting a 2 or 3.
I wish they would've did something to improve the team so when Rose comes back, likely late this season, he'd have a nice squad built around him. They've made staying under the cap and out of the luxury the priority.
Knowing that our front office is cheap, I still expected them to do their best with the cards they've been dealt. But even I'm starting to question them like maybe they were too stingy.
Boston and Miami managed to keep their expensive cores together (except Allen getting replaced by Terry which is still good) and made way better improvements than us.
There's still hope that they'll trade Deng before the deadline and save the better moves for next offseason (whatever those could possibly be). They HAVE to lose Deng for a smaller contract so they can have money, so they'll be under the cap, just so they can use Kyle's trade exception, otherwise we can't even use that.
So yeah, these last 4 months have been depressing.
Great synopsis. Moving Deng will be the key. Once the CBA really kicks in come next summer teams with big payrolls will have to make tough choices. It will fuck a lot of teams up.
okay you will have cap space
but will there be the talent there to stock up on? Unless bulls fans still buy into the bravado that Rose will do it by himself
Exactly Bulls are in a similar situation to the Mavs, owners trying to save money and wait till the new CBA kicks in with on superstar. Bulls have the advantage here tho cuz their superstar is 10 years younger. Chicago also has the same problem we have for some reason of not attracting star players for one reason or another.
fam yall just cut down some nets.
20 years ago we cut down nets.
20 years ago we cut down nets.
bulls need a quality sf, an ok backup center and a decent backup sg
am i da only person dat thinks they should have been calling kenyon to put on dat jersey..i wanted crawford to but he juss signed with somebody else
Bulls sign SG Marco Belleneli.
seems like a solid pickup
Bulls sign Nate Robinson; man this offseason has been a joke; the Bulls w/o Rose will be a 6th, 7th or 8th seed MAYBE. This article says it better than I can:

Chicago Bulls Sign Nate Robinson To Complete Worst Offseason Ever
by Ricky O'Donnell • Jul 31, 2012 11:35 AM CDT
You know, in a vacuum, every move the Chicago Bulls made this offseason can probably be defended. Kirk Hinrich isn't a bad signing for the mini mid-level exception, even if he ended up getting a bit more than that. There's a reason the market for Marco Belinelli was small enough to allow the Bulls to sign the shooting guard for the bi-annual exception (just $1.9 million per season), though his impressive three-point shooting numbers and the bargain-basement cost makes him an acceptable short-term replacement for Kyle Korver. Vladimir Radmanovic is tall, experienced and can shoot the rock a bit. He isn't much of an NBA player, but you can probably do worse for the veteran's minimum. Letting go of Omer Asik to sign Nazr Mohammed is certainly a bummer, though there isn't a Bulls fan alive who thought Asik was the worth the offer sheet he was signed to by the Houston Rockets.
All of these things can be argued by a less cynical and less informed observer of the team. If you've been keeping it locked to SB Nation Chicago lately, you probably know I'm not a huge fan of what the Bulls have done this summer. Ownership's consistent refusal to commit financially to the NBA's most profitable team is completely deplorable. They made zero attempt at getting better this offseason when they had assets to make some moves. Their 2014 plan sucks. Making Hinrich the top offseason priority might be worst of all. I think the Bulls did a terrible job this offseason and they deserve to be criticized for it. But even if you're the type of fan who will never say a bad thing about your favorite team, yesterday's move may have put you closer to my ledge.
The Bulls signed guard Nate Robinson on Monday. In a vacuum? Man, I'd probably rather have him than John Lucas III. But also: Nate Robinson? Dammit. Now the Bulls are just messing with us.
The "Robinson saga" -- if you'd like to call it that -- was kind of funny. The diminutive guard apparently told some random kids at a breakfast joint he was signing with the Bulls, which said kids subsequently tweeted. A few less-than-credible sources ran with the report. Some of us were hesitant to go with it at first, though I'd like to think we all knew it was true.
Of course the Bulls would sign Nate Robinson. It is perfectly in line with everything they have done this offseason. This is just another move that amounts to strangling every last breath out of the fanbase's collective will to cheer.
Nate Robinson is a clown. He is a 5-foot-8 gunner who can't handle the ball, can't pass, can't defend. He will score, though not efficiently. He is loud and obnoxious and could certainly be argued as the league's most annoying player. He actually played quite well in 51 games with the Golden State Warriors last season, averaging 11.2 points and a career-high 4.5 assists per game in 51 contests while posting an impressive 18.05 PER.
But still. This is Nate Robinson we're talking about. The same guy who took approximately 18 million tries to become a three-time dunk contest champion. The same guy who was friends with "Big Baby" before his TBJ cameo. He has very few redeemable qualities as a basketball player, but he is cheap, which is all that concerns the Chicago Bulls.
Robinson tweeted a Photoshopped picture of himself in a Bulls jersey on Tuesday.
And there you go, Chicago. I think we all know Tom Thibodeau will coach this team to more wins than they deserve, but that doesn't mean the offseason was a success. It was a failure. Nate Robinson personifies everything.

I like the move and all the moves they made. Ninjas want them to spend dough but that shit will bite us in the ass soon down the line. The one thing about Championship caliber teams is that they dont have bad contracts.
In two year, Deng and Boozer will be off the books. Deng will be resigned for less and we'll use the remaining 16 mil to put complimentary pieces around Rose. Not to mention Mirotic, the Charlotte pick and the better draft position we'll have this year.
If we win a ship in 2015, no one will care about a 2012 where Rose will miss 3/4's of the season.
Nash is better than Robinson but I'd rather have Robinson for two years at 3.6 then Nash for three years and 27 Million. Mayo is better but I rather have Bellineli for 2 years 3.8 then Mayo. Mayo only averaged 11.9 point over the past two seasons. Niggas have to show patience. This is a skeet year!
The only thing I am mad about is Pax not shopping Boozer. If Danny Ferry can trade Johnson, Pax should be able to get Boozer offf our books.
I have a distinct feeling that a contender is going to panic and make a trade for Boozer. Boozer will have better numbers now that he has the green light and a contender will lose a big and try to trade for Boozer to make it happen. If I'm Paxson, I'll be on the phone with Billy King and Brooklyn all year cause that dude is ass as a GM and does not have to justify his moves.

The Nate and Marco signings are good looks. At least Nate is somewhat exciting to see, more than Captain Kirk. Those 2 will keep me tuned in.
I also want to see what Jo learned from training with Kareem. He hasn't yet because of the ankle, but sometime this summer they will link up.
