MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think you guys are being way too harsh on AB. He was clearly hurt last year and was overweight. He's slimmed down and has recovered from his shoulder injury. He has alot of talent, he may never turn out to be the player an overall number one pick should be but I believe he'll become at least a solid PF. To the guy who posted that he'd think hard about a Hinrich/Bennett trade, lol, I'd do that in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm calling bulls*** on this one. McDermott and Mirotic, of what we know, is extremely an extremely strong starting offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how you act like Kevin Love who averages 26-12-5 in a loaded conference for PFs is overhyped and not worth any talent offered for him, but wax poetically about Anthony Bennett and all these players who've done nothing in the league.

I wouldn't have thought so probably because I assumed that would be a package for so long, but have been surprised how much national media is taking that seriously.

Kyyle23 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This morning Cowley was on M&H and he was scoffing at the possibility of the Bulls pulling this off, and he has done a complete 180 on it, even so far as to say he should have bet against himself. This really has become interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things never change. This still seems like the Bulls are being used to come in 2nd place again. Edited July 23, 2014 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really has become interesting. What's that? Sinking guy, irrational exhuberance? yes, it's the moment right before bulls fans hopes get crushed. Because it is 2 weeks since our roster took shape, I'm conflicted. I've already convinced myself this team can win a championship and that Snell will be MVP...now I have to go back to thinking about what it would be like with 3 players who could be top 5 in mvp voting....so tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Love fan, simple as that. Is he a top 5, not IMO. Top 10 yeah, but as great as he is offensively, he's bad defensively. I also think he's a bit of a statpadder, so sue me. His great stats haven't exactly translated to wins, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so if true, this will probably drag on for at least that long. Why accept the offer now? It's not like the Bulls have other places to go to pick up a star. Why not wait and maybe some other team sweetens their offer. I doubt the Bulls are going to pull it before any games are played. Just another slow news day in the NBA, so time to get the Bulls fans excited before the dissappointment. This is playing out just like Melo. Possible, then no chance. Then, well maybe. Next is actually the Bulls are frontrunners, and finally, Love to Cleveland. Edited July 23, 2014 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it probably drags out but they could agree now since any deal is likely on Love resigning. If he does so now the agreement will leak.
