Bulls knew they would pay competitively to get Dunleavy. Would've done so anyway but cap/luxury tax # possibly coming in higher only helps.

Dunleavy so versatile and subtly effective offensively. Great post entry passer & screener. Moves well without ball. Floor spacer. Great fit

Just talked to Dunleavy: "I'm thrilled to be back. It's a really fair deal. I'm looking forward to playing for (Hoiberg) and love our team."

Cavs' and LBJ's interest in Dunleavy very real. Bond Dunleavy has with teammates and comfort level personally for his family big for Bulls.

The contract is probably front-loaded.

why would it be...next year is when the cap goes up

Team options are very rare outside of the rookie deals.

Snell has developed beautifully and McDermot was drafted just last year. Plus Butler. I felt fine about SF.

Its too much money, he is too old. I hate this, we drafted and developed his replacement successfully already, fucking should have let Cleveland have him and let them be stuck with contracts that make it impossible to win even with Lebron.

Are we fucking stupid? damn

Snell did not display the consistency to be labeled a starter. He has dabbled with it, but I have to see some more before I declare him a starter. Thibs hindered him in the playoffs anyways.

Doug can actually learn a ton from Dunleavy.

I don't mind re-signing a vet like Dunleavy, and at that price, with the cap going up to what it is, its not really anything.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

At times Snell looked like he could break out, but Thibs just seemed to squash it. Was that due to Thibs being clumsy sometimes in his substitution patterns or just a no confidence in Snell.

Glad Dunleavy is back. His presence was missed when he missed all those games in January. He plays the right way.

I thought Snell's shot cooled a little and their just aren't minutes for everybody on this team that was able to play them. Snell showed great promise as a possible Butler level defender though I thought. He can hold his own defensively and would seemingly compliment a backcourt of Rose-Butler because he can defend and doesn't require a lot of shots but has that developing 3 pointer to stretch teams. I don't think its unfair to compare him to a young Bowen....likely the defensive upside isn't quite that, but maybe his value is that of a Rick Fox.

Al-Farouq Aminu agrees to 4-year, $30 million deal with Blazers.

Look at some of these numbers.

The NBA has officially gone haywire. I don't care if the cap is going up. Some of these deals will and should get people fired.

I feel like they upped the years and price as to keep Dunleavy away from Cleveland. I don't really think its that bad as long as he stays healthy... He has so far with the Bulls. Granted he's 35 and will be 38 at the end of this deal, so its not likely he can stay healthy.. He'll likely look like Mike Miller did this year by the end of this contract. I'd give him one more good year.

I was about to start a thread saying the same thing. I am convinced the Bulls overpaid to keep Dunleavy away from Cleveland. MD would have been a PERFECT fit and Lebron knew it.

Sports will collapse when the fans can no longer afford the games period.

Sports/ESPN have gotten out of control. The advertising dollars they command to pay these ultimately get pushed down to regular families. It is part of the reason things cost so much here. When a company spends 100s of millions of dollars on advertising it has to recoup that cost. Entertainment in general is way out of control.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

The undervaluing of Dunleavy around here is criminal.

And they'll collapse once people stop paying for cable TV. Either the middle class needs a pay raise, or the entire thing will collapse. But this is not a sports topic really.
