You think the Bulls put a winner on the court this year?

He's been projected to go late first all year. Not sure how his game will translate to the NBA, but he's a hell of a college player. He goes in and dominates night in and night out.

But with ligaments still attached in his knee? Genuinely asking, I haven't paid attention.

lol, yes actually. I hadn't factored that part in to my comparison. Probably a better touch as well.

Thanks Sam for the 34th time this season writing a headline with the word "fall" used with many liberties to describe a Bulls game.

I guess you aren't qualified to actually understand what I said. I'm sorry for you. The point was not that the Bulls put a winner on the court this year, it was simply that the Bulls did not put a loser on the court this year. I respect them for that.
I realize this will be a hard concept for you, so feel free to not embarrass yourself with a reply.
Go Bulls.

I think your definition of a winner is different from everyone else.

With me, it is not trying to win every year. That is silly. What is wrong is what assholes the front office including the owner are. They totally fucked up the Rose situation and the Thibs situation. I will never forgive Reinny for how he handled Thibs who really deserved better.

I guess you missed the point as well. All I said was that I like the Bulls TRYING to field a winner every year instead of Tanking. Then my original point was how the NBA breeds that teams need to tank to draft great players, or have all the homies sign with one team in FA'cy, and I'm not a fan of any of that.

I won't disagree with you here. I'm not a big Reinsdorf fan. However, I think it's time to look at Thibs for who he is, which at this point, is not showing much in Minny with several 1st round picks.

With all due respect. You are the one insulting me when you actually didn't understand what I said.

Bulls' FO is not "trying" for a "winner" let alone a title.

One goal: win enough games to hold onto paycheck.

LOL at you guys. The Bulls are definitely trying to win games. Just look at them fighting to make the playoffs right now. Duh, if they were not trying to win games, they would tank, miss the playoffs, and get into the lottery. I'm amused that this is hard for people to grasp.
All of this has nothing to do with them being able to put a team on the floor that can win it all. That's really the point I originally made, right? They have drafted pretty well, tried to bring in FA's that actually wanted to come to the Bulls, and even made some trades to get younger and more athletic.
What the Bulls have NOT done is TANK, which I stated I'm not a fan of. They also have NOT been able to attract the LJ's and KD's in FA'cy. The whole point is the state of the NBA breeding that Teams Tank, get the #1 pick, and sign multiple stars to max contracts.
This is what is wrong with the NBA, imo. I like that the Bulls TRY to compete every year, even though it hasn't been good enough to win it all. Bulls fans like you guys are miserable because the Bulls don't Tank. I bet you guys will want Melo this off season. LOL. He won't want to come here, and will go lose for another team, and you all will slam the Bulls for that.
Maybe the Bulls can be like Philly, Minny, Brooklyn, or even Sacramento? No thanks, I'll go root for my Bulls to surprise in the playoffs.
Moving on from this thread .....

Thibs is a great head coach and took the Bulls farther with less than 90% of the NBA coaches could not have done. YOu seriously are not disputing the job he did with the Bulls are you?

I don't like teams intentionally tanking for sure. It is unfair to the fans. In my book, owners should have the responsibility to put a decent product onto the court at all times and should be punished for tanking if I ruled the world. But........the Bulls totally fucked up in the Thibs regime in their failure to give Thibs what he needed to win a championship with or without Rose. They also totally blew the Rose situation in my book. And for how they under-cut Thibs, GarPax should have been FIRED, not Thibs.
Right now, I hate the Bulls. I really do. I hate Reiny and Gar/Pax. For the same reason, I hate the White Sox. Once again for Reinny, and Williams. The common thread in the bad teams in Chicago is bad ownership and bad top management.

Condescending bullshit, and sadly misinformed.
That said, I do appreciate your Cubs posts and overall baseball knowledge.

I'd much rather the Bulls miss the playoffs and gain a better lottery pick. No fun getting bounced out of the playoffs in the first round. This is NOT a playoff team.... Bulls front office is a JOKE! They'd like to make the playoffs so that when their job is on the line they can say "No look we made the playoffs"! That's a bunch of garbage. This team and the front office is a joke, and they won't get a dime from me until Hoiberg is gone or GarPax is gone.
