SoxFan1 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 04:01 AM) This is really becoming another golden age of the NBA. There is more talent in the league right now then there has been in a real long time. I highly disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) Is it? Rip's contract is pretty bad to say the least, and he doesn't exactly have great 3PT range, which a SG probably needs in Chicago's style of offense I'd say. As much of a headcase he may be, J.R Smith could be a better option, and he's got an expiring contract to boot. I don't think you could be more wrong here. Rip is a good 3 PT shooter and is absolutely lethal coming off screens. Smith is a bulk shooter who is inconsistent. Rip fits WAY better on this team.

The league is more diverse and has more talent than ever before... and there is a lot of competition. Hell, the s***ty teams even have entertaining players to watch.

I think that before you join the NBA, you should get a vasectomy. Free sex, no risk (outside of STDs). You can always have it reversed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much of a headcase he may be, J.R Smith could be a better option, and he's got an expiring contract to boot. As far as a pure basketball standpoint decision, you would be correct. Smith has immense talent and is still young at 25 and will be playing for a contract. He can handle the rock (be that secondary ballhandler when Rose is on the bench or even in the game which helps him immensely), shoot threes at a high rate, score in iso, create his own shot, excellent athleticism on the fastbreak to complement Rose, better player for a dribble drive motion offense (helps Deng catch and shoot off screens or cuts, Boozer in the post, etc or off the bench for secondary scoring). Problem with J.R. is the guy just can't seem to get his head out of his ass, is prone to chuckling when he gets hot (or trying to get in a rhythm) which can stall posessions and can get very selfish. Now, can Thibs help him with that? Can the Bulls vets keep him in line? That remains to be seen. The pieces to getting him will be very low I would think, so it's doubtful the Bulls will have to give up, say a Gibson, Brewer type to get J.R. (probably fillers like J.J., Bogans and/or a pick) Bulls management is obviously hoping to strike gold. (which can also be a risk) A guy like Affalo is the much better fit and player the Bulls need, but Denver probably will not move him.

That remains to be seen. I'd say I find it highly doubtful unless he's decided on his own to get in line. It's not like he hasn't had a support system of veterans and a good coach in Denver.

This is actually a really good question. You would obviously think to look back at the dynasty years. But I really can't recall them winning a game by 45+ points. And back in those days I used to record the games. I do remember a game during the 72-win season in which they scored the first 20 points of that game against the Hornets. But they only won by 35 or so. Didn't take long. They waxed the Antoine Carr, Bill Wennington led Kings by 47 back in 1991. That is one horrific looking roster. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxsco...9102220CHI.html Edited December 22, 2010 by Jordan4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
