yes they can go as far into the luxury tax as they want, but that misses the point because they can only do that through the exceptions that are made to being over the cap
do you not realize that the bulls can't sign bynum because they're over the cap? i've said like 4 times that bynum's situation does not constitute any of the exceptions
gee thanks einstein...it's this thing called a joke
LMAO pot meet kettle..you dont think it's naive to continue screaming about how reinsdorf doesn't reciprocate support and all that grandiose,inane bullshit....and say that throwing money at things will fix things?
i forgot how well the bulls handled money...oh wait
wade pretty much tipped the bulls off, never wanted to go to chicago really
bosh is solid, but was pretty much packaged....i dont think he was planning on going to chicago by himself
lebron considered the bulls i guess, but then again he wanted to go with wade and bosh and miami had the space and wade already in place
i dont think throwing more money would have solved anything
carmelo anthony? there were some trade rumors, but honestly melo wanted to go to NYC. Plus, this has really little to do with the bulls dipping into the luxury tax in principle
stoudemire? really? honestly he's a bit overrated because he needs an up tempo system to really thrive..maybe a potential candidate but at the time the bulls got a relatively similar player in boozer(boozer was the better rebounder, amare was better offensively and more athletic, both coming off good years in their late 20s with good PGs)
grant hill? after his injury he was decent but was not a superstar....the bulls were in hell when hill would have been considered..i dont see why he would have come to the bulls
duncan? really?
garnett might have been a possibility,but he would have been acquired in a trade and nothing worked out there
overpaying for mcgrady might not have been the greatest idea considering his health in his later years and his rapid decline....but idk much on that front
if rose had been healthy the bulls might have challenged the heat in the east, and the picture might have looked completely different then and now?
are you kidding?
so,what, you think rose is going to pull a lebron and leave his hometown(even though rose literally plays in his hometown)?
depends on the context of the sign and trade...if the thunder were willing to throw in a pick or a guy like collison...then adding harden wouldn't be bad
my apprehensiveness on harden is that he is basically a third option and has less pressure on him because they have two 22+ point scorers in westbrook and durant, i mean that could make plenty of players look pretty good? that said..the bulls could look into
they can't go over the cap because outright signing harden would not fall into any of the exceptions to the cap, how many times do i have to explain this?
more often than not these days you have to give up players to get superstars...it's not all throwing money at players and superstars lines up to get outright signed, that's not how it works
