Thanks for the new sig. It's so deliciously absurd.

You're complaining about guys being jerks but you love MJ. Me thinks the pot is calling the kettle sooty bottom.

Did you just call MJ a jerk? :huh: Because if so I have to kick you in your Nads.

I don't see how anyone can deny it after his hall of fame speech.

So you want championships? That's all? You'll take, Carmelo, Artest, J.R Smith, Stephan Jackson, Reggie Evans, Sebastian Telfair, Rasheed Wallace, and Larry Hughes? That's a championship team in my mind, but if I had that lineup on the Bulls, I wouldn't even watch their games, I would move to another city. Those guys R the reason why some people hate the NBA. Well, Rasheed's cool. But aNYWAY..

Not saying Lebron James is on that list but If you just want championships, idk, I guess that's cool.

And Lebron has been respectful.. He's been respectfull earlier to the Bulls dancing his ass off on the court, he's been respectful to the Magic in last year's East Finals, he's been respectful to the fans stealing a tape showing him getting dunked on, and saying he's gonna be in the dunk countest and than bail out like a little Puss, he's been respectful to his hometown, The Cleveland Cavilers, hinting to leave instead of staying with his draft team and trying to build something and quite bitching, not like MJ, he'll never be like MJ...

Sorry I'm just not that big of a fan of Lebron. Don't want em on Ze Bulls..

Okay, first and foremost, I want championships...if you want heroes, you are going to have to read comic books...

Go find me ONE teammate of MJ's from those championship teams that have him as their favorite teammate...you would be hard pressed to find that, why? He was an asshole...but he won! HE is the one who threatened Dennis Rodman (you wouldn't want him either, crazy, wore dresses...hung out at clubs, once suicidal...) and told him if he ruined the Bulls he would kill him. Scottie Pippen (gun toter, obscenely cheap...) was more of a favorite of teammates than Jordan, but who would those players rather have on their team than MJ? Nobody.

Ask Derrick Rose who he would rather have as a teammate...Lebron or anyone else, including his buddy in Jersey CDR...winning means everything, and in the NBA, Lebron is the best...

I think it's the opposite for LeBron really, if he's really worried about being perceived as the GOAT, he needs to win with his original team. Going shopping for a better team will make him look bad.

Winning more championships than MJ in MJ's building will make him the GOAT.

No doubt, this whole fiasco with him planning on going to the Nets or Knicks is disrespectful to the city he plays for and the team he plays for. I can't believe I'm the only one who doesn't really want Lebron in a bulls uniform. I perceive him as the "bad guy". IDK. I don't really like him, I'm sure he's an ok dude, and pretty funny too from what I've heard. But I just don't really want him, Lebron, Wade, or Kobe on the Bulls. Wade is my favorite player, but I want my Bulls to make it with D-Rose as the Star of the team. This guy has all the potential in the world. I want to build the team around him. Noah, Deng, Hinrich, good starts I guess. Give me Amare and Kevin Martin.

Am I the only one on these forums that doesn't really like Lebron?
He lacks respect.

Last time we had 2 top 10 players in the league, we ended up having six rings and the greatest team of all time.

I don't care who the best player is on the team, I want championships. Lebron is the best player in the league...so I have no problem with him coming here. How is he being disrespectful? He is keeping his options open...Rose may not be a franchise player, the jury is still out...he can be a secondary player...

And to answer your question...Yes, you are the only one on this forum who would take Amare and Kevin Martin over Lebron...Amare and Kevin Martin wouldn't take Amare and Kevin Martin over Lebron...

i'd take a package of lebron. just not that package.

gimme granger, bosh, defender/3pt shooter. With that roster, we ought to be good enough to contend... unless lebron and wade/kobe hook up.

No need to do that, Lebron and what you have now is a legit, championship contender...
