K.C Johnson just tweeted that CJ was just informed that his option won't be picked up. Thanks CJ for hitting that tying 3 pointer against the Heat that led to a OT win a few months ago, too bad you played terrible in the playoffs.

There was the perfect example of a player having to prove himself for the money he would have earned. He really laid an egg at a critical point of the year...so long Mr. Watson.

Welp. May as well burn the signed photo I have. :shot:

He's a replaceable player. I won't miss him and I hope the Bulls let go of Brewer as well

I'm a little sad he has to go, liked him a lot. But I like Kirk more so if he has to go I'm happy Hinrich is the one to replace him .

With Watson gone there will probably that bench mob attitude disappear. Think he was the creator of that.

I'm not angry with Watson. He played with plantar fasciitis on both feet during the playoffs which affected him.

His last play as a Bull was very unhappy and it's sad it ended that way. Anyway I hope he finds a new team. Actually I would be shocked if noone takes him.

I agree Brewer's shooting was horrible and missed many open dunks, I hope the Bulls let him go so Jimmy Butler can get more playing time.

I won a pair of autographed Chris Harris cleats, game worn.

Then he got cut and picked up by the Lions to warm their bench.

Oh well. Thanks for 2 years CJ, hope all works out for the best for ya down the road

Good riddance. Teague and Hinrich will suffice for now.

Updated the 1st post with the home page article on it.

Wasn't a fan when we initially got him, & was even less of fan when I actually saw his play. Inconsistent shooting, high a/to ratio, & often dreadful PG play. His D was always solid, I will give him that. Not sad to see him go at all, even if it does mean the return of the most overrated Bull in history, Kirk Hinrich.

lmao! I forgot about that, you should sell it on Ebay maybe you can get $20 if you're lucky.

not upset we're letting him go. I think we should shop him around though. Maybe we can get a pick for him that we can use in a trade later on.

so long, youve disgraced King Gordon long enough by wearing his number

Don't you mean "King Toni Kukoc"

I think MJ traded for Gordon because he wants to know there is still somebody on his team that he can beat 1-on-1

I'm not really going to miss CJ terribly, but I liked him while he was here. Hinrich isn't going to provide anything more than what CJ gave us. At least CJ could create a shot for himself if needed. His assist/to ratio wasn't even that bad (2.06 last season according to espn, just below John Wall at 2.08. Rose had 2.58).

Really I'd rather just try to trade Brewer/Watson/Korver for trade exceptions or a 2nd rounder at least to try to get something out of them, but that's wishful thinking...

Nets have come to terms with C.J. Watson as backup point guard. Two years at vet minimum. Watson owns option on second year.

 

[Axl Rose]

wow vets min....thats a steal

 

[TheStig]

wow vets min....thats a steal

Is it just me but I'd much rather have CJ for the vet min over Kirk. Hell for the same money, I'd take CJ. I think he fits what we need next year much better.

Wow steal for NJ. Decent backup PG for the min. Why can't we do that?
