This was a very shitty day for a Bulls fan as far as I am concerned. I think that Gar/Pax really screwed this up bottom line. I refuse to make excuses for him. They should have known more about what makes Melo tick before embarking on all of this bullshit. I think that they are both to blame. If I were Reiny, I'd fire the both of them.
But then, something else even more pissed me off. Why in the hell, did they trade for Gasol? Why? Why spend this money on this soft injury prone end of career player? How many damn power forwards are they planning on playing at a time, anyway? I am so pissed I could bite a nail in half. You have Taj Gibson who paid his dues, busted his ass to improve himself every damn year he's been in the league. You have the best player in Europe coming over who I would bet is right now better than Gasol. So, why in the hell do you sign this guy when YOUR FUCKING NEED is a shooting guard and Small forward?????
I am so very disappointed right now. It is all bullshit. It had no god-damn vision. I would have much rather that they would have foregone this free agent star bullshit than what just happened. I would rather that they focused instead in getting some good young players in who could develop. Instead, they are just SETTLING for an over-the-hill, way too high-priced guy who will add not a damn thing of importance to this team. Instead of improving areas of NEED, they just have fucked up another position.
