Kyyle23 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) They extended Thibs's contract last year right? Yea, the article says something to the effect that gar wasn't pleased with how Thibs took his time before he signed his extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Some rumorage With uncertainty in the backcourt, the Chicago Bulls are showing significant interest in Mo Williams and Will Bynum and have started exploratory discussions with the representatives of the free agent guards, league sources told RealGM.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Rockets aren't messin' around. They've brought in Hakeem, Clyde Drexler and Yao Ming (Ming through Skype) to help sell themselves to Dwight. That's awesome when you can bring in past legends that played for you to help you recruit. Could you imagine Michael (even if he weren't an owner) or Scottie going out of their way to recruit marquee free agents for the Bulls? lol. Anyway, Howard/Harden/Parsons would be a lot of fun.

thxfrthmmrs Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Bulls are apparently in pursuit of Mo Williams and Will Bynum. I am in disgust... This FO baffles me sometimes. We still have Hinrich and Teague to back up Rose, unless he's not ready to go to start the season. They are also not likely to retain Belinelli at this point. Our biggest needs are a shooting wing, and a backup center, not another PG who can't shoot. We can't go into the season with our two best shooters being rookies who aren't likely to get enough burn.

I don't have a problem with either names. I wish they'd use their trade exception and try to get OJ Mayo or another shooting guard to potentially open up the possibility of dealing Deng for Lamarcus. PS: If Gar is making a power play on Thibbs, I will be so pissed. Thibbs is the best amn coach ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Please let the Bulls get Will Bynum! One of my favorite players ever, as well as instant offense off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2013 -> 10:24 AM) This seems incredibly impossible. They have the trade exception so they could sign and trade. I think the exception is worth like 6 or 6.5M. They are too cheap to pay the major tax associated with it though since it really would be like 12M (if you gave him 6M).

Ross Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 This is totally out of nowhere, but do you think Chicago could ever get a second NBA franchise?

Weren't there some rumblings about the Hornets looking at Chicago a couple years ago? Just a random thought I had. I think Chicago could probably support another team, but really, you are looking at bigger divides than, say, Sox/Cubs or Yankees/Mets. It would have to be an energetic and very business and marketing savvy owner who could sell the idea to the citizens of Chicago. Same thing goes for a second football team too. At this point, it's too great a financial risk to add a 2nd team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't there some rumblings about the Hornets looking at Chicago a couple years ago? Just a random thought I had. Strange as it may seem, yes. Good lord, I'm old enough to remember when Chicago didn't even have a team. I rooted for the Baltimore Bullets because they had moved from Chicago (Packers/Zephyrs). It'd be way cool if there were 2 teams and I could totally see it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 @NBARUMORS Rumor: Iman Shumpert and Tyson Chandler for Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Jordan. The Los Angeles Lakers expressed their interest to multiple free agents when free agency began at midnight, and the latest name to add to the list is big man Byron Mullens, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN. Mullens had a career-high in points per game, but shot just 38 percent from the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Monta Ellis has officially opted out of the final year of his contract, according to Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today, allowing the former Milwaukee Bucks and Golden State Warriors star to become a free agent this summer. The scorer is certainly not short of suitors, as at least seven teams have already expressed some interest in acquiring his services. CBS Sports’ Ken Berger is reporting that the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns have all made it clear that they are intrigued about the possibility of bringing the eight-year veteran into the fold.
