He's a f***ing star and nobody outside of us talks about it. Not only that, but he is a GREAT guy. He's, right now, a top 10 player in the NBA. Derrick Rose is just "a guy" compared to Jimmy. Yet all anyone talks about (including my sig) is Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with that. Let everyone keep sleeping on the Bulls. Gasol is legit a dominant center right now, our backcourt is unreal and Mirotic is contributing more than everyone thought.

Yet all anyone talks about (including my sig) is Rose. #3 in win shares. #6 in offensive rating (very rare for a SG who doesn't rely heavily on 3s). He's also pretty damn good on defense. He's the most complete player in the NBA not named Anthony Davis or LeBron James right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Another under the radar stat: top 5 in the east has .600 winning pct against the top 5 of the west. I think the greatness of the west is a bit overstated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the greatness of the west is a bit overstated. The West is still deeper. After the Cavs, every team in the East is under .500. The 8th seed in the West is 18-14.

LDF Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 need some help in understanding some rule in the nba. i thought when a player gets assigned / cut and plays in the "D" league, he becomes a FA. so when Noah Vonleh, 9 pick last yr 1rd, went to the D league, is he a FA? totally unrelated, the signing of the vet for vet extension contracts, should the Bull continue to extend Rose contract further? i know the Bulls should offer Joakim Noah.

It's kind of like the minor leagues in a way. If a player is sent down from an NBA franchise, their current contract is still in place. It's just that the D-League is way less important than the MiLB, so most of their rosters are filled with free agents and maybe one or two draft picks at best.

Jake Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thibs fouled up the lineup last night. It was like he had to play another wrong guy in the fourth quarter because Kirk was out. Aaron never made a FG I don't believe and it wasn't like he added anything on defense. The offense never had any rhythm, probably because we had two point guards out there. It seems like he has a mental block on playing Dunleavy in the fourth quarter right now, which is probably part of the reason Jimmy is getting too many minutes as well. It wouldn't shock me if we try to bring in some wing depth via trade. Or sign Ray Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 30, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) Someone please correct me if I am wrong because I don't know the NBA like the MLB but Butler is going to be an RFA next offseason. So as someone said, I think Kev, the Bulls will end up matching whatever the offer sheet is. So he's not looking at 4/80 or 5/100 he's looking at 3 years 50ish or 4 years at 60+? Am I right here? You don't really know what the numbers will be yet until the cap figure for next year is determined. The max is based off that number. Kyrie Irving just signed one for 5-90, but as I posted earlier, Butler can't get a 5th year because Rose is the Bulls' designated player. The best guess is in the 4-70 range. However, that could go up if the cap jumps significantly or if Butler qualifies for the "Rose rule" that allows him to get 30% of the cap instead of 25%, which would happen if he makes the All-Star game or All-NBA the next two years (admittedly, I'm not 100% sure that applies if you're not a designated player).

Jake Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Both starting guards are having s*** games, the next best guard is ejected, the next best guard after that is hurt. Gonna have to dig deep to win this one - but Jimmy looks like he would benefit from some time on the bench tonight. Visibly frustrated and getting manhandled by Johnson regardless.
