Quin Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 09:50 AM) Honestly, with NBA TV I just can't justify any version of League Pass (though, I just looked at it and that 5-team is a ripoff). Why would you pay $26.99 per month for 5 teams when you could pay $39.99 for all teams? Or pay $0 and watch NBA TV? Seriously, don't waste your money on that stuff. Unless you have the world's worst cable package, you get NBA TV. That means every night you get games or NBA Gametime. Then ESPN does their NBA Coast to Coast on other nights. NBA Gametime (NBA TV) - live lookins to games around the league, basically NFL RedZone for NBA fans. NBA Coast to Coast (ESPN/ESPN2) - same as above. Tuesday and Thursday nights - NBA on TNT Wednesday and Friday nights - NBA on ESPN Random other nights - Bulls on CSN/CLTV/WGN Random other nights - games on NBA TV Save your money! Can't get NBA Gametime with my cable, but I get my cable free at my apartment. So I can live with NBA League Pass and MLB.tv (MLB wins for PS3 integration, broadcast options). QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2012 -> 11:14 AM) Less than market value, not understanding your post. If it's $38M with incentives, it's bad. If it's $32 with incentives, it's good.

Not sure, you are only person I have seen say anything negative about the contract. He would have got more in free agency and he will probably be a starter next season so I'm good with it.

If it's closer to $30 it's better than $40. Just because he'd get overpaid doesn't mean he's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'd just love to see what Taj can do in 30 minutes per game. Boozy hopefully gets amnestied next year and we'll find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can defend 4 positions well and is an offensive contributor. It's a good deal for the Bulls and they stuck to their guns during negotiation.

Some people feel the same way about watching teams pass the ball around for 30 seconds until some white guy jacks up a 3. As I'm sure you know, there's a college basketball thread if you'd rather go there. This will be my last post on the subject since I have a bad feeling this may turn into another 3-page b****-fest that kills the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RZZZA Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 How can anybody think this taj extension was a bad deal? We let Asik go for nothing, we couldn't do the same with Taj. Now he's a trade chip. And until the day he's traded he'll be a valued contributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just hangover regret for insisting on moving forward with this core. I'm glad Taj is back. I am just so bummed about this teams trajectory. We're going to be like the old Atlanta Hawks. An amazing player on our team that we'll have to insist to younger folk that they were so great, if they never won a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 All I can say about NCAA vs NBA or any pro league... I like to watch sports because I like to see the very best in the world at their craft do work. The NCAA has a very limited interest to me because the talent can't touch the NBA, save 1 or 2 players in a given game. The main novelty of the NCAA is to see who might become good enough for the better league, and occasionally something to keep you occupied when nothing else is going on. It gives people with no more pro markets nearby something to watch. In the end though, I want to see the best in the world at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
