Looks like Lauri Markenen goes to the front at PF early.

Maybe now Paxon will do the obvious thing and trade a player (Mirotic) he should have traded long ago.

Did Portis just graduate from Olin Kreutz's motivational sports camp?

Hoiberg was going to discipline them, but then he sat back down.

Interesting tanking strategy....beat the fuck out of each other. Got to to hand it to the Bulls for being innovative.

We've all had the urge to punch Nike in the face many times. Portis is just the one to finally do what we've all been feeling.

While I hope he’s alright, I can’t say I’m upset. I’d much rather see what Lauri can do than watch Miroshit throw up bricks. Lauri should get some big minutes now.

my concern is what happens to Portis, and getting the right value back for Mirotic in a trade. Or does he want to go back home now?

Portis' contract should, and quite possibly will, be terminated.

why? what happened? bumps are exchanged, words, shoves and some fists....happens all the time. I'm not one to punish the stronger man because his fists are capable of breaking bones so easily.

The Bulls have no reason to waive Portis.

-#1 Sports are emotional and physical. Oh well. Many great players have had physical fights with teammates. Many scrubs as well. It's not always the same result. Sometimes players get closer and better because of it, sometimes it makes things worse.
-#2 Bulls still need to inflate the value of any player they don't want to keep and actually get a return.
-#3 Dude that can throw a mean punch can contribute to intimidation factor. Throw Portis out there against a cheap shot player to send messages.
-#4 Forgiveness is divine? I'm of the school that redemption should always be on the table. His merit rank on the team should go down, but if they're already stuck paying him, doesn't hurt to see if he'll earn back his keep. But of course, if he doubles down and fucks up again, he should be gone.
-#5 And Knee Jerking. Too soon, as usual. Put the jump to conclusion mat away. Stop grinding axes and trying to force prophecy. Blah blah, yeah, I know, must be a homer and accept mediocrity. Just step back, relax. Small shit like this will work itself out, maybe a blessing in disguise. Plus, it conflicts with #2.
-#5 Deep down, about a quarter of the fanbase wanted to see someone punch that chucker square in the face. Not saying people wanted to see him seriously hurt, but something that would give this grown man a wake-up call and respect the game more than play for himself 90% of the time.
