I can't believe people are really happy to see bad things happen to him. It's kind of sad actually. Oh please, no one is saying he should be killed in an accident or anything.

More for being a dick about it, less about choosing a different school. Trust me, Illinois has lost out on a LOT of guys and there's not the same (or any) animosity towards them.

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Haha not getting drafted is wishing "bad things" happen to him? Come on now. Cliff is an idiot. He deserved to go undrafted. Self went to bat for him for no reason, even though Cliff and co screwed Kansas over too. Cliff then responds by trashing the Jayhawks to NBA teams. Shocker, this was a big turnoff.

Harry Chappas Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am not an Illinois fan but I could see how that would bring a smile to an Illinois fan's face. The thing about it was that he is from Chicago so handling it the way he did was a kick in the nuts to Illinois fans in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Damn, I thought the Bulls had the the full MLE and would have a an outside shot at Wes Matthews. Just the mini MLE......Bellineli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So what are the Bulls going to do in Free Agency? Taj Gibson is probably the one most in play here, especially after the drafting of Portis. What would you be after in terms of a trade package, a future 1st rounder maybe? And if I'm going to pick 3 Free Agents most likely to switch teams, it'll be Aldridge, Monroe and Tobias Harris.

Bulls offseason for me: Re-Sign Butler Trade Taj for a wing (Terrance Ross) Hypothetical Sign Jameer Nelson with MMLE Sign Ben Gordon and Caron Butler to the minimum That's doable.

Kyyle23 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Taj's ankle surgery really f***ed things up for his value here. Its like Deng with his wrist injury(and not getting the surgery for it), you have this guy who should be worth much more than he is, and you end up dumping him for pennies on the dollar.

Improper benefits may have hurt his stock but that's far from why he didn't get drafted. Nobody cares if you can play. Cliff made Cliff undrafted.

Improper benefits may have hurt his stock but that's far from why he didn't get drafted. Nobody cares if you can play. Cliff made Cliff undrafted. He played a partial season and that was on a hurt foot. If he played in the tournament, had no character flaws and didn't trash his program on the way out he gets drafted. It absolutely had a ton to do with why he wasn't drafted. And KU has head and shoulders a better draft record than Illinois does. Maybe the next head coach will play it up after Groce gets canned but it won't do much if anything. KU is a premier bball program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
