How Long Is RIP Gonna Be Out This Time?

[Uman85]

Its laughable how much CCS members personal hate for Smith blinds there senses to reality.
Your statement should go down in history as one of the most ignorant.
Sorry Uman, I luv ya, buts its just true man.

As long as Hamilton sits on the bench in a suit and tie, every healthy player in the league would be better than him.
How in the hell is no productivity better than some.

Please reread your statement so you can check yourself for that one.

You may not admit it, but yu know deep down inside I am right and have been all along.

I'm a leader, not a follower and I don't flip flop like most here.


Its all good, I hope where still cool, but I had to speak the truth bro.

Productivity? Smith brings nothing of substance in that category. Shooting 30% or worse from the field, taking horrible shots and singlehandedly taking your team out of the game with your selfish play <<<< Hamilton on the bench. Smith's basketball IQ is off the charts Special person.

I'm not ignoring team chemistry. The Bulls should seriously consider starting Ronnie Brewer full-time and attempt to let Hamilton fit into Kyle Korver's role. At least then the Bulls would have a stable first unit. Hamilton and Korver are a lot alike on the offensive end so the chemistry of the second unit wouldn't be hindered too much with Hamilton going in-and-out of the line-up.

LoL
You are speaking as if Rip is an actual option.
He's injured again gudammit, so he isn't an option starting, on the bench or in any other way.
So why even speak of it?
Rip is resting in peace and we are paying for it.

And of course Ronnie Brewer is going to start full time.
He already has been, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh!!!!!!!!
Don't think we have a choice buddy.

There's a reason why Smith is so good in nba2k- not every gamer is as moronic as J.R. Smith.

If J.R. Smith was on the Bulls, Ronnie Brewer would STILL get more minutes and would STILL be starting.

Please stop before you say more crazy things like that.
I have a week stomach right now from all the laughing you caused me to do and I think I'm about to puke up hairballs like a cat.
I am now dumber for just reading your response.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

In regards to Sp94's love affair with Smith, the argument shouldn't be Rip vs. Smith. It would be Brewer vs. Smith. And Brewer wins because he (a) plays much better defense, (b) plays off the ball, and (c) doesn't jack-up contested fade-away three-pointers from almost out-of-bounds.

Now you know how every poster who reads your J.R. Smith :cum:fest posts feels.

Anyone who believes Smith is beneficial to an NBA team is beyond help.

 

[scottiepippen1994]

You may be right and I have no problem with that.
Actually Smith would make a better sixth man for us than starting.
So you stand correct.
One thing for sure is that Brewer-Smith is a much better rotation than Brewer-Hamilton at this point because Hamilton is non existant so right now its a rotation of Brewer-brewer......

There is no argument. Smith isn't beneficial in any way. His only value destroying a team's chance of winning.

 

[Dementia]

I think it was Uman who said we should amnesty Rip.

Unfortunately that only applies to players signed under the previous CBA. Sorry if this has already been brought up.

That's just a pure lie and untrue statement.
Anyway, enough of the Smith argument.
I've made my points and they have been felt by some, so I feel fulfilled right now...

Can any of you do us all a favor and posst a complete list a available 2guards that will be available this summer??
Thank you.

 

[RamiTheBullsFan]

Anyway, enough of the Smith argument.

The irony of this coming from you. I'm going to hold you to this.

I wasn't trying to put any tits in a ringer today.
I was just looking at our Rip situation and saying how I feel about it that's all.
Its all good.


P.S, again, can someone post a complete list of available freeagent 2guards this summer that we can realistically aquire afater Rip gets amnostyed at seasons end.?
Thank you.
I believe we can achieve this without trades and I hope we can keep our currant core in place because the bottomline is we do have a very good team right now regardless.
We just need to tweek it a little bit.
Kind of like signing Rip was a little tweek. T just hasn't worked out for him.
And once again, I don't seriously mean to bash Rip becase I've always liked hm and he is very good when healthy. The problem is that he rarely is ever healthy for basketball anymore and its a dam shame.
Somtimes things just don't work out. It is what it is. That means we just got to create new options.



GO BULLS :beerbang:

Thank you cloud9

This is information that should be weighed and talked about because I truely believe that Rip will either retire or be amnostyed after this season.
I in no way hate Hamilton, but it just is what it is.
The Rip experiment has been a complete failure. Period.end of story.

 

[Diddy1122]

Rip won't be amnestied because HE CAN'T BE! He was signed post-CBA agreement. Only way Rip is gone is through a buyout & that just isn't going to happen.

We all just have to hope that he can be healthy at some point this season. Ugh this situation just blows.

I didn't know this, but that doesn't mean he can't retire after this season.
Can't no one say that's not a possibility.
For all we know, he could very well be looking at his own situation and be considering it.
After all, Rip is a good guy and I'm very sure he's frusturated about his own situation.
It may be his time to do other things with the rest of his life and I will wish him well on his future after basketball.
Basketball as a player may be over for him and that's fine. It happens to every player in the league at some point. Its noobodys fault.

O.J Mayo- if we can afford him.

JR Smith- more affordable

Or I even like the thought of adding Ray Allen-he may be old, but he has somthing left in him and is in very good shape. He knows how to stay healthy..plus he is still better than most 2guards in the league today. Maybe he would sign for the veterans minimum so he can get another ring before he walks off into the sunset..could be a perfect fit potentially.
I've actually heard that ray is on the trade block right now.
I wonder what we would have to give up to bring him here to finish the season for the Bulls.

THOUGHTS???????????? Anyone?????????????? :dunno:

Considreing that he didn't want to accept a buyout last season because he would lose too much money, something tells me he won't retire after the season is over & leave $5mill on the table. Only way I see that happening is if we win it all. So the chances could be good actually.
