chw42 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's over. Can't say I'm surprised. While we're on the win-now train, why not go after Paul Pierce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This is why it hurts that the Bulls waited so long to be aggressive. We put that clown on the side of the United Center. The Knicks' move for Phil was indeed a back-breaker. The Bulls should be offering picks, McBuckets, etc to get Love, but they'll go back to being the Bulls. Gasol I like, but I'd prefer Lance to Ariza. You just know we're going to wind up with Ariza. Hopefully the Cavs don't get Love so the East can be somewhat open next year, though we all know Cleveland is going to dominate. Melo chooses the money, and Phil didn't cave. So disappointing.

Melissa1334 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Doubt he used them as leverage. Dude got the max offer over a week ago from the Knicks. I'd believe this if he committed right after his meeting with the Knicks. Maybe he didn't want to make it obvious it was the money , I don't know, I'm just pi**ed we got fooled twice by melo and now we get pau lol ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Ariza would suck. I already know what kind of numbers he'll put up...and they won't be what they were last year. No Luol, no Ariza. I'd rather just keep Dunleavy. And this whole S&T thing with the Lakers just seems sad. Just amnesty Boozer's ass already. Nobody wants him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Let's move on to Lance Stephenson. I don't think there is much of a market for him at this point, so maybe we can sign both him and Gasol and still come away a stronger team. The character issue is there, but perhaps playing with strong character guys like Noah, Jimmy, Rose, Taj and playing for Thibs will set him straight.

Can't blame him, it was substantially more, but man talk about eating his own words about wanting to win.

bmags Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I love that the bulls early on decided to go after melo over love, took on salary and used both firsts, cleared zero salary before meeting with melo, then upon it being clear melo wasn't convinced a 10 mill per year salary was enough, decided 34 yr old Gasol was plan B. Your bulls management ladies and gentleman. Queue gar pax apologists "it's not their fault! They are only GMs, what power do they have?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Melo would have been so awesome. Derrick can take his time to get back and we'd still be a great team. Hell if Derrick got hurt again, it'd still be a great team. But now it's all on Rose.

But anyway, how many times can these clowns fail and leave us with the try hard bulls before being held responsible?
