How Long Is RIP Gonna Be Out This Time?

[scottiepippen1994]

Yo Chiteez, this would make a good t-shirt.

"All Ripped up"

Or this:

"R.I.P - 1999-2012"

 

[scottiepippen1994]

Nobody expected Rip to be 2004 Rip.I am pissed with this situation too now BUT can he play for 5-7 games and keep Wade away from Rose and do to Wade the exact same thing he did to Kobe when they won the championship?Only this.He can score no points I don't care.If he can do this..

And I will be patient with him.I don't want something else from him.If he respects the money he earns and the fans he will be able to do this.

:rolling:
How in the **** will he last 5 to 7 games against DWade-HEAT in the playoffs when he can even last 1 minute and 40 seconds against the pacers in a reg season game?

YOUR STATEMENT IS QUITE LAUGHABLE :lol:

Instead of giving out RIP bobbleheads at the UC, they should give out these to the children:

"RiP-AKA-Mr.Bump"

Here's another good t-shirt for Chiteez to make.
This will be a hot seller:

"RIP it up"

Yo Chiteez, this would make a good t-shirt.

"All Ripped up"

At this point, I'd take that guy over Rip.

Any updates for his status?

Chicago Bulls shouldn't count on Rip Hamilton staying healthy for playoff run - ESPN Chicago

Hamilton suffers injury, but Brewer a capable replacement

He's in a sling right now. Going to see a doctor today from what I read. Sounds pretty serious from the way Thibs was talking. At this point, I'd shut him down and just use the Amnesty Clause on him at the end of the year. He would've been a great asset for this team if healthy, but he's not worth all this.

So he is playing against the bucks?I thought it was something more serious.

Even if the Bulls could use the AC on him- why the hell would they?

They are already over the cap so it's not as though he is inhibiting them from getting any other would-be free-agents next summer.

Second of all, can teams use the AC on players who signed a contract after the new CBA came out? Rip is on a post-CBA deal.

If the Bulls lose Rip or Boozer via AC, they lose them for nothing.

He's only making $5M/year for the next 2 years including this one. Everybody needs to stop acting as though he is stealing money from their own bank account. Reinsdorf can manage it.

If Hamilton is going to play 15-20 games per year for the next 2 years, then losing him for nothing isn't a big loss at all. He's not worth wasting a roster spot on. It's bad enough Scalabrine is already taking up a spot.

Money's not the issue. Not at all.

Scalabrine is not even relevant to the conversation at all. If the Bulls needed to cut anybody from the active line-up, it would be Scal. Hamilton actually has the capability of being a decent player on the team and he is not getting paid all that much to top it off. If it comes down to it, put Hamilton in Korver's role and start Brewer. Cutting him makes zero sense at all.

Unlike Boozer. Unlike Noah. Unlike Deng. Money isn't an issue. And that is a very, VERY good thing. Is Hamilton as good as those guys? No. But he still should have a spot on the roster for the little money he is getting paid.

Scalabrine is relevant to the conversation, because both he and Rip are a waste of a roster spot at the moment. Until Rip shows he can stay on the floor for more than a few minutes or a few games in a row, he's not worth our time or patience.

Noah plays. Deng plays. Boozer, even when injured, played more than the glass man has this year. If he were healthy, he's worth the $5 million. Currently, the Bulls are just flushing that money down the toilet.

Tell me what good it would do to cut Rip Hamilton. How will that help the Bulls going forward?
