This thread is why I post less and less in the Bulls forum.
Excuse me.
HEY!!!!, KEEP ME OUT OF YOUR LIST.......I BELONG IN MY OWN CATAGORY AMONGST NO OTHER HERE.
AND BESIDES, I POST PLENTY INTELLIGENT OPINIONS AND FACTS REGARDING THE BULLS AND BASKETBALL ALL THE TIME.
UNFORTUNATLY, you only dwell on my extra activity that I throw in as a bonus here to go along with my pure geniusness.![]()

But even aside from your posting, you also "thank" the idiots/trolls in this forum like Glide2k4eva when he makes a baseless, flame-filled retarded posting. So you are still condoning this retarded troll-like behavior if in fact you do not directly participate.
Lol
I admit I give too many thank yous away without justice.
But I feel sorry for dummys somtimes and throw them a thank you or too to make them feel like they belong among intelligent messageboard messiahs like myself.
Therefore I have become a friend to the friendless which makes me a saint in the eyes of the good lord.![]()
Don't blame Reinsdorf for next season being a lost cause. Derrick Rose's injury is the reason for that.
Is Mohammed+Radmanovic+Belinelli+Teague+Butler's minutes increasing a step-down from Asik+Brewer+Korver+Watson? At least next season- yes. But the most important thing was to keep the core of players together (Rose+Deng+Noah+Gibson+Boozer (yes, Boozer) and that is done. They also managed to cut costs which is also important.
The GM/GM's should rightfully be called out on losing Asik for nothing when they could've gotten something decent back for him last year. But hind-sight is 20:20. The FO didn't move Asik most likely because they felt he was a valuable back-up for Noah in pursuit of a championship last season. It didn't work out but it's hard to blame them for trying.
Have the Bulls tried to get big names? Yes. Is it Reinsdorf's fault that big name free-agents do not want to come here because of the FO fiasco during the 90's? Possibly.

I'm not trying to break our peace treaty or anything.
But I have a serious question that I've been wondering about for quite some time now.
How do you manage not to get caught by Rush for posting under 2 different screennames and accounts here?
Please tell me the secret to your amazing skills of cloak and dagger.
I must know.
Must be nice being an exception to the rules.
FirstSparrow or RoreyTimer?
Hope your not mad at me for breaking your Devinci Code, but I don't think I'm the only one here that's figured this out.
Sorry bruh.
Have a nice day buddy........or should I say buddies?
PEACE BE WITH YOU SIR. Or should I say sir's?
I'm so confused now.

2013 Attendance Tracker: 3-1
The taxes suck in chicago
The weather sucks in chicago
The headband rule sucks on the bulls
Why would lebron choose this over floridas lower taxes, paradise type weather and championship management that getes things done?
Lebron made the right decision.

I think i need to clarify my original post. Im not knocking Reinsdorf for tying to make a profit, or having a favorite team, etc. But he has a fiduciary duty to not only the fans but also the NBA. If i was the Commisioner of the NBA and i heard that id initiate proceedings to force him to step down as Owner of the Bulls. Thats not a good light for the fans of Chicago. Who wants to get behind a guy thats half assing running the team and is only concerned with the bottom line? You guys do.
Mark my words. The Bulls will never attract a legit FA as long as Rinsdorf is running that team cuz he clearly made it known hes not commited.
Im not saying go out and sign anybody for the sake of signing, but damn at some point youre gonna have to go way over the cap if youre serious about winning. The fans of the Bulls give their full support why is that not reciprocated? And im sick of hearing the slame excuse that theyve tried to get player X but....... the question needs to be why are thes big names refusing to wanna come here? Id think you guys would be sick and tired of having to rebuild every 2-3 years. My god how many good players have the Bulls let go cuz they didnt want to pay them?
They let them go under the guise theyre gonna save money, get some high draaft picks, and sign a big name FA.
Its like herding cattle. They tell you guys something and you follow it.
At some point, when do you say enough is enough? Stop supporting this team, by allowing them to turn record profits and theyll become more determined to do what it takes to bring us in. And i dont mean turn your back on them. But use the internet, or news paper, follow them from a far so to speak. Make them earn your support.
Heres a list of some of the players the Bulls have chosen to let go of in an efforst to save money and rebuild.
Elton Brand
Jamal Crawford
Ron Artest
Ben Gordon
Tyson Chandler
Andres Nocioni
Thabo Sefalosha
Tyrus Thomas
John Salmons
Shannon Brown
Omer Asik
Kyle Korver
Ronnie Brewer
CJ Watson
All very good player some are staples for their team. At any point over the last 10+ years, the Bulls have had at least four of the players on that list at the same time and opted to let them go or trade them to save money and rebuild. And i wouldnt be surpirsed if the Bulls were to go into full rebuild mose and trade Deng and Noah for picks and salary and go into full rebuild and dangle another "two year plan" in front of the faces of the fans.
Theyll keep doing this as long as you guys allow it.
And one more thing. People keep saying that the Bulls let these players go cuz they dont want to overpay them. If im not mistaken, Ben Gordon was asking for 10 mill and got close to that with the pistons. Thats not overpaying, thats his market value. The same goes for all the players theyve let go, crawford? Chandler?
Theyre gonna have to go way over the cap to compete. They dont want to do it.
Which one of these players is a "staple of an organization"? You made a point...then pissed all over it. You've just shown what the problem is. If you are a Bulls fan...you just put up a list of players, most who have been overpaid in their careers as some type of evidence that the Bulls let really good players go...lol. Doesn't make sense.
And then you make these sweeping generalizations as to why they were let go. Money was not always the reason. For example, you think they let Chandler go...because they were cheap? C'mon dude, do your homework.
Tyson Chandler is. Ron Artest was with Indy as was Elton Brand with the Clippers.
My basic theme is they get these players, groom them, allow them to improve and get everryone excited. Then when its time to go to the next level, they dump them.
And i dont care wh they let them go. They just let them go. And for what? More project to groom, let them get better, then replace them for cheaper players to save money.
And you claim theyre over payed? Whats the going rate for a player of Ben Gordons caliber. List some names and their contracts
Elton Brand just got amnestied.
Gordon got traded to basketball hell because of his salary, and is reunited with Tyrus Thomas.
Artest's salary is partially holding the Lakers back from pursuing Howard.
Hell, the whole "Bench mob" was let go because they were paid too much. $10M for 2 players who are one dimensional is too much when a lottery pick can be had at that price.
None of the players that the Bulls have "left go" are a second scoring option on a title team.
If the Bulls are so cheap, why did they extend Deng, Noah, Rose, and spend big on Boozer?
