It's great how the whole joining the military after graduation was a lie. I don't blame him, I'd take the shot at the NBA if I had it but still LOL at that lie.

You could tell he really just didn't want to be in Chicago playing basketball any more. The pressure he/media/fans put on him was immense, plus the quick ascension to an MVP level player. coupled with the fall of injuries, PR gaffs by the Team, and himself. Just lead to a situation where everything was painful.



Can't wait though. because now when the Bulls lose, or Jimmy Plays poorly he won't be able to just dip out and leave the remarks to Rose.

At worst, he sucks and you guys get ~20 million dollars off the books.


Actually scratch that.


At Worst he's Goddamn amazing Him Melo and Zingus meld perfectly into Hornecek's system they gets you guys to a competitive ECF or series with the Cavs. And the Little Isisah on Dolan's shoulders tells him to Give Rose all of the money. And then the next year he's injured and sucks, and is stuck on your books for the foreseeable future.

Oh and while doing all that he gets them to give D12 a 4 year max contract too.

Which would be great because the Rockets already have a replacement

This kid has the moxie, he has the grit, he's not afraid of taking underhanded free throws while a bunch of Golden State fans jeer at him.

e: Morey said he had two agreed deals to move up but the players he wanted were already taken. Wonder who he wanted

Porzingis is going to get so many wide open shots out of the pick and pop.

This worked every single goddamn time last year.

This poo poo was why Pau was able to put up such comical scoring numbers. The offense p much consisted of this with Rose/Butler.

That's the thing about Rose, it seems like he still has decent burst and first step. But While he can do that on the ground it seems like he's either scared or unable to get anywhere near the same type of height he used to get which means it's waaaaaay harder for him to actually finish at the rim.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I know the Lakers had some interest in Noah, a big man vet with a motor, to help mentor Randle but probably not at the max.

Credit to the Bulls organization for being so bad that players would be excited about joining the Knicks organization.

I will add that Derrick Rose was a bad basketball player last year. The Bulls were much better with him not playing. He had moments where he'd hit a bunch of mid-range jumpers. Maybe blow buy someone for a layup. But he can't do what he used to at the rim, can't shoot, has sketchy ball handling skills, and came in last season woefully out of shape. I hope he does well in New York but he's really just a below average NBA PG at this point.

The Bulls and Warriors are Most Hated Rivalry teams that fight with each other all the time and one time Jimmy got Nene thrown out of a playoff game after getting into a forehead pushing contest with them, so Noah doesn't make sense because in the heat of the moment he might hip check Beal in the fog of war.
