I don't the point in keeping White Mamba when he's basically at the end of the bench, both Lucas and James can be serviceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual issue is that they're very, very close to the luxury tax threshold. And the way the new cba works...hitting it htis year would make it much more painful to hit it in future seasons if we had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 18, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) Is someone seriously arguing that 23 was weak on "Athleticism"? Seriously, the next time the 1991 championship series is on ESPN classic, just watch. Jordan's lightning. It's like watching Rose except taller and better. I really don't think that was the argument, although it was implied that Jordan wouldn't be very unique today. There really were 2 MJs. Pre-baseball and post-baseball. The former he was as athletic as anyone who ever played, the latter, he wasn't quite as athletic (although still extremely so), but still was the most dominant player. It was a ridiculous statement from an obvious Jordan hater. SS2K5 was singing the praises of Hakeem a little while back and righfully so, but if he were consistent with his MJ thought, he would think Hakeem in his prime is really no better than Joakim Noah which is also ridiculous.

According to Forbes, the Bulls average a $55 million profit each of the past 5 years. So the last 5 years, they have made $275 million in profit. If they are really worried about the luxury tax, that is pretty sad. http://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/201...able-nba-teams/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've made no bones about it. If they go $100 over the luxury tax level this season, it probably costs them $5 million this year and might well cost them more than that next year.

The Wade=Jordan comment was sheer madness, I have never heard a serious basketball analyst even attempt to make that case.Even with the closest player to MJ, Bryant, nobody really thinks he's on #23's level, the stats and accomplishments don't back it up.

Hopefully he was on medication or something when he was posting. If not, someone needs to do a wellness check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did make a run. They got to within 7 and let the nets blow the game open again. Because they've lost 8 straight Williams and Humphies aren't going to see much of the bench.

He actually has a birth defect (his arms are actually quite a bit different in length). He can't shoot, he never really has been able to... that 5 game run to start the season was the outlier, not what you are seeing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this means anything, but I did a sporcle quiz the other day on the guys who were in the top 10 each year for number of dunks, and brewer was there for 2 or 3 years in utah. on cue he knocks down a jumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I know you can't win every game but at the least you gotta be ready to play, these guys get paid too much money to half-ass it, I know it's nit picking since they've been tremendous so far considering all the injuries they've had but it's not fair to the folks who pay to watch a game.
