Everything else i agreed with He quite literally destroyed his body because of the love of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I love NOah. Dude didn't work on his game? When bulls season was tanking without Rose and trading Deng, Thibs asked him to become a point guard and he DID it and was GOOD at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even close to the best defensive player in the NBA that season. He'll always have the award though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Didn't his plantar fasciitis act up at some point? Or was that the next year? Tough to keep track of all the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to keep track of all the injuries. That was year before, the next year was the knee being shot and then got "a minor scope" and he showed up to preseason 5 months later a different player. Weird how so many minor operations from the Bulls org ended up turning into worse problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a narrative, unfortunately, that we do everything wrong." I barely follow any Bulls news these days knowing how incompetent the front office is. I guess now I realize that's nowhere as frustrating as how delusional the management is from top to bottom. Ask anyone outside of this team what exactly has the Bulls done right that Gar deserves credit for. He literally has not done a single thing right since drafting Jimmy Butler, from handling of coaching staff, to training staff, to free agency, to trading, and lastly drafting.

Throw in one more injury to a GS player and this could even be a watchable season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to speculate on how well Melo and Westbrook will work together? Honestly, I don't think there will be any problem at all. Adjustments? Sure. But when the three teams, reportedly, that you were willing to waive your NTC for feature LeBron, Love, IT, Harden, Paul, Westbrook and George, that shows me that you're willing to put personal s*** aside and finally win something in your career.

Devil's Advocate. Well, Love hasn't exactly lit the world on fire in Cleveland. Is that where we think one of these 3 guys stats will go? George is playing for a contract too, so he's going to want to score as much as humanly possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, if you believe the reports, George recruited Carmelo. Why would he do that if he wanted to "score as much as humanly possible?" Why would Carmelo waive his NTC to go to a team with the reigning MVP and another all-star if he didn't want to adjust his game to win? I think you're overthinking things here.
