SoxFan1 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well, this sucks. But my goodness, some epic overreactions in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 No the Bulls did not tell the Raptors we will trade whoever it takes to get a s&t done asap. Im not saying it was a bad decision, just the Bulls left the door open way to long. If they tell Bosh we are going to get your s&t, when Wade and Bosh are in Chicago, perhaps Miami never gets another chance to pitch them. In the end the Bulls were holding out for Lebron, its been clear that is who the Bulls covet. Some times you swing and miss, I guess the only good news is the Bulls havent done jack, so they have to be holding some hope that Lebron says yes.

When I first started watching the Heat in the 90's, the stadium was half full on any given night. Hell, before 2005 the Heat had trouble drawing crowds. But that all changed with the title, surprise, surprise. And they were dropping off the last two years when the title wore off, also surprise surprise. Those attendance numbers would have plumetted right back to about 25th in the league, but now they have Wade and Bosh, so that's not an issue. Unless they don't win anything. Attendance still is irrelevant though in this argument. Edited July 7, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:42 AM) They'll get behind the Heat now though, just like they did when they won the championship a few years back, call it bandwagon fans or whatever. But clearly Bosh didn't pick Miami over Chicago because Chicago had the better roster or it's a bigger "sports town". The lifestyle, warmer weather, no state income tax, and the chance to play with 2 other max FA's potentially sealed the deal. Oh I agree with that. The Chicago Bulls haven't been relevant since 1998. I'm just saying Miami is a horrible sports town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 No state income tax is kind of a red herring. You pay income tax based on the state it was earned in. For the 41 games in Florida, they dont have to pay state taxes. For the 41 games on the road they do. Also state taxes are extremely low.

Steve9347 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 AdamZagoria "I think KG, Ray and Paul when they all went to the Celtics back in 07, they made that sacrifice and it worked out for them." -- Bosh Chris, you're an idiot. What sacrifice have they made and what sacrifices are you and Wade making? Did you just use the term "sacrifice" when Wade is going to get 130 million and you're going to get 100? WTF What a sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Not gonna lie, Bosh's reaction to that question surely makes it seem like Lebron's going to Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 So they might take less money to fill out the roster...even though we already had the roster filled out besides the two positions that these guys play...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not convinced they are completely dead on LeBron yet, even though it feels like they are and I obviously reacted like I think they are. If logic matters here, they still have a shot. Then again, it seems logic may not matter in this case with the way things have played out. Edited July 7, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 And now everyone's turning on Bosh. This is just 2000-2001 all over again after the Magic signed Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady and the Bulls ended up with Eddie Robinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 41-41 for the Bulls for the next 5 years. Seriously, with the overreactions. The Bulls were the 5th seed and a possible 50 win team last year before Noah and Rose got banged up towards the end of the season. If you add Boozer alone, we're a 50 win team.

Dwyane's a winner and we're gonna bring winning to Miami." -- CBosh Chris, you are f***ing over 100 games under .500 on your career. I'm actually pretty glad we didn't get this turd. Give me Boozer and a solid SG and we'll see what happens. Yeah this isn't sour grapes at all. Bosh isn't a superstar but he is still a top 10 player in the NBA and is clearly a vastly superior player to Boozer. Hell ,Kobe was 10 games under .500 in the three years between Shaq leaving LA and Gasol arriving in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But alright. What I'm saying though is that if he signed with Chicago, everyone would love him. This is the FA process unfortunately, it doesn't make it fair what Lebron and to a lesser extent what Wade and Bosh are doing, but it is what it is.
