You aint lying.........the way we play at times is disappointing to say the least.

Can someone explain to me @#@ is LJ III still doing on this team

 

[seymore cake]

Pooh's shooting has been real suspect since Brandon Rush pulled that fairy maneuver... I wonder just much he's really hiding/pushing through his injury

i thought the Bucks did a good job of corralling Derrick tonight. Boozer has been playing great lately he's really taking a lot of pressure off of Derrick scoring wise. Nice team effort tonight. 20-10

Yeah I was referring to that bum.

It does seem like he's a lil more hesitant out there, but then again I think more teams are just doubling down on him and getting more physical with him.
How he doesn't get to the lines at least 10-15 times a night is beyond me, he takes a lot of hits and gets no calls.

This is what I'm more concerned about.
I'm not trying to say that teams figured us out but if Boozer ain't on....then were in trouble.
Deng has been playing better this season but he still dissapears at times.
We need someone to create and not just stand around.

 

[futuristic]

I'm glad we have Boozer instead of that $!$#+ Bosh

Man can catch fire from three and would look nice. Plus he has length. My problem with Mayo is he lacks some size, which may be why many question his D.

Iggy still not available either?

If you are trading Taj you are most likely getting Darrell Arthur back in the deal...

no thanks then.

Taj is a worker man, that's a real role player right there.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but all we need is a 2 guard to keep defenses honest. Is that too much to ask?

Just found out the Mega Millions is 196 million. If I win I'm paying someone handsomely to assassinate Keith Bogans.

shhh...in the chi you might get that for a fraction of that 196 mill

u must've forgotten who our gm is.........he probably goes and trades for rudy fernandez or some bum like that

 

[shabooyah1124]

What's wrong with Rudy?

Darrel Arthur > Taj and hes only 22. Taj's real advantage is with his defense and that can be taught with Thibs and age. hes young as heck and would help just as much.

He's almost unattainable due to Portland thinking they're god and asking for everything for him. Plus with Roy's injuries and his future being uncertain they need him there for assurance.

 

[everysingletime]

So I'm hearing chicago is looking hard at Stephen Jackson.  I'm actually very, very intrigued by the possibility.  

I just dunno how a trade would be possible.

You mean the guy that was setting off fire alarms smoking weed at 2 am during the NBA draft camp? no thanks.

Look at what Taj is doing without a jumper. If he can develop some kind of outside game

I guess my bigger issue with the deal is Mayo. He's still only a 6'4 guard who isn't known for his defense or 3 point shooting and in reality that is what we need. His height may be why he has some short comings on defense too. Why can't we just trade back for Kirk? Lol.

 

[alexanderfasto]

If Chicago is to give Up T.Gibson it should be for Carmelo not just any PLAYER..

Let's face it Taj may not average 20/10 (for now, who knows maybe one day) but he's one of the better defender/inside scorer/rebounder right now...

But still Chicago needs  to address their Big Man issues, maybe one more body just as an insurance just in case..

  

 

[arstyle27]

Just read KC Johnson's mailbag about Kirk returning.....can't happen until next year do to rules =(

 

[prostaffer]

Just got done talking on the radio with David S. of the score. I like his work on the Bulls beat. One thing he agreed with me on was that you can't give up any important pieces for these two guards if it prohibits you from making a better, bigger deal down the road.

@alex

that's what I'm saying. Taj is an interesting piece to a lot of teams. You can't involve him in a trade for a two guard who may/may not help you when you can use him for something bigger.

 

[bittersweet]

I really hope Kirk comes back. I've been weighing the possibilities of us getting him back since he left.

He can't though for at least a year from the trade date, meaning he's not coming back this season. Plus we basically dicked him over shipping him to Washington, so there might be some animosity towards the Bulls FO. 

 

[everysingletime]

didn't the cavs trade away ilgauskas and got ilgauskas back in like a month? I could've sworn that happened. I'm speaking of before he signed with the heat.

yea when they traded to get Jamison and the Wiz released him and they picked him back up. Maybe it's something where we can't trade to get him back but if he's released then it's open game.  IDK just taking a stab in the dark

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Correct.
Unless the Wiz release Kirk it's not going to happen for the Bulls.

I'm reading into the Bulls inquiring about Aaron Affalo, which seems like a good fit.
As previously stated I don't want the Bulls to give up pieces that we could potentially use in the future for a "big" deal, but knowing our FO they'd blow that deal as well.
