Spacebump posted:Apologies to the Bulls and Knicks fans in this thread. Everyone else would you rather currently be a Knicks fan or Bulls fan? That's a pretty tough question, but Bulls probably because they only have one more year after this one for their two lovely albatross contracts vs two and three for Melo and Noah.

Noel is out a third game in a row due to his sore left knee. He was originally supposed to be back today. Either they are going all in on team tank or Noel's knee is going to make people briefly think he won't get max this summer. (He will get max from someone and the Mavs will match it.) I like to imagine they told Dirk they are tanking and he decided screw that, explaining his recent good play.

What albatross contracts do the Bulls have that are even in the realm of Noah and Melo?

Melo's contract is not really an albatross tbh. Like it's not a great deal but isn't the worst thing in the world assuming you have other flexibility especially since KP is on a rookie scale deal for a bunch more years. Then you gave Noah all the money.

 The Pistons could have this man but instead he's on the evil Cavs. Ready to body up Kelvin Durant and swing the finals. I'm very excited to watch him play again. I hope he's at least 85% of what he was, because he essentially gives them what Thompson gives them but with height, length, and the ability to finish the odd PNR. The lineup of Kylie, Earl Joseph Smith, Lebaron, Love the concept and the man himself, and Lurryy Sanders matches up pretty well against the radium poisoned Wardell Curie, Bentonite Clay Tompson, Ann-Hey My wife wears a Wigoudala, Naymond Green, Kelvin Duramp the Warriors still have the shooting, but Durant in power forward attack mode on defense is perhaps unfair. Cavs fans need to hope Curry wwill stay in this long slump. Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Mar 13, 2017 |

Sometimes these things sort themselves out. Wasn't Dario Saric's dad notorious for also saying dumb poo poo back when he was first drafted? Either that winded down and he smartened up or people stopped paying attention to him.

Chandler Parsons had multiple teams offering him max after his knee injury last season. Noel is a big that can play defense. I will be shocked if another team doesn't offer him the max.

I really hope GarPax gets the ax but it seems like it's never gonna happen with the deep seeded nepotism at the highest levels. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Reinsdorf steps down (some point this century). Maybe his kids will have a big dysfunctional feud like the Lakers kids.

So did Andrew wigggn's father, married a canadian olympic sprinter So did Jrue Holiday, married top wnba player Basketball is something of a guild.If you think marrying another athlete means they'll make 20m in a few years, that's responsible. Lebron married his hs sweetheart, which is good for fortune preservation, especially when we see the fake smiles from the really pretty girls in other NBA wedding photos, the "5 years and I'm taking as much of your poo poo" fake smiles, he protected the wealth. But his son is 8 inches shorter than he was at his age. So at best Lebron's kids are short athletic pgs or combo guards and not huge beasts. Also, Lorenzo Ball talking for his son is a James Harden corrollary, Harden was shy becuase he had rock teeth and then braces. Lonzo has hosed up skin which is a great way for a teenager to become too shy shy. His dad takes the spotlight away from him personally and lets people focus on his play. I'm playing devil's advocate as usual, but there's something to it. Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Mar 14, 2017 |
