RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 You must have despised the 96-98 Bulls. That has absolutely nothing to do with today... Let me ask a rhetorical question, and I pose this question to anybody who reads these words: If you had two choices between trading everybody on this team to win a guaranteed championship and retaining everybody on this team despite possibly never winning one, which would you choose? Would a championship be fun if you have no emotional attachment to the team or any of the players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. And I say that as one of the biggest homers on this board. It'd be pretty sweet to win it with what we got which I think is possible in a few years but if you can gaurentee me a title with some trades then make it happen daddio.

RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Well I guess thats the biggest difference between how I think about the team and how others do. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them in all seriousness that I wouldn't want Lebron on my team. I don't want to win with him, I want to win because we beat him. Exactly the same way Derrick thinks too, I bet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 So Derrick/Lu/Noah go in a hypothetical trade for Lebron/Wade/Bosh. You'd have no problem with cheering for a Chicago Heat team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I think I would be a fan of any team Derrick or Lu go to. I wouldn't go so far as to call them 'my team', but I'd definitely follow their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Noah and Bynum would be a nasty combo. Amnesty Boozer and then Taj + Bynum cost as much as Lu and Boozer most likely. Problem would be getting a good 3. Butler can defend, but I don't know about scoring other than his uncanny knack to draw fouls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 You know they won't be in the NBA forever, right? I like to cheer for certain types of players, after Rose and Lu retire I'll find others to cheer for. I already like Kyrie Irving, I'd have no problem following Cavs games. I could never cheer for Lebron or Wade, even if they wore a Bulls jersey. I don't like how they play the game and I don't like how they carry themselves. Bosh is okay though.

I didn't see a single person say they didn't want LeBron, Wade, and/or Bosh on the Bulls during the free agent frenzy of a few years ago.

Harry Chappas Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I'd take any player at any time to make any team I root for better. I love Brandon Marshall, Zeke and Albert Belle because they made the team I root for better. I could care less what type of people they are. I am not having a dinner party I am watching sports for my team to win. Winning is everything as far as my sports entertainment goes. I want good guys to play 16" softball with and could care less if they are good players, why, because they come to my dinner parties and we get nothing for winning and I want to enjoy my cocktails with good guys not some asshat. Only cubs fans love their team to be lovable losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the decision I don't remember him being real douchey at all. He didn't label himself king lebron, the media did.

fathom Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's hard to say you wouldn't root for the Bulls if they had certain players on the team after most of us grew up rooting for them when they had Dennis Rodman on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) The thing I hate most about Lebron and Wade is how much they flop. They're 2 of the best players in the NBA and they flop so damn much, they're shameless about it. I would root for the Bulls regardless but I'd be like "Go Bulls! Oh Lebron is a dick, I hate that guy. But go Bulls, yay!" Edited October 11, 2012 by RZZZA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
