Your Reactions if BG signs with Detroit for $9mil?

[cool007]

I am hearing rumors that BG might sign with the Detroit Pistons for $9mil or even less than that a year.

If that is true, I want to hear your reactions.

I personally would want to kill each and everyone in the front office for letting BG go for that kind of deal.

That contract would mean that he will be getting less than Kirk and MUCH less than Deng. How can Bulls not sign him up IF IT IS for that kind of money.

BG is a really good bargain for $9mil a year or less and he is just entering his prime now. This is not some Wallace kind of deal who was declining already and on the verge of retirement.

I want to hear your reactions if this was to happen.

Something along the lines of a public lynching is in order for JR.

Huh? If Gordon signs for less than the Bulls have offered in the past, he's just as much to blame as management?

How do you figure? The bulls pulled that offer off the table when he wanted to sign it after their deadline. Ben had agreed to take it. Sorry, but JR is 110% to blame if we lose BG.

If the Bulls don't sign Ben, it will be because of the price someone else put on him. I doubt 9mil is the price. But if he signs elsewhere, dont hate the player (Reinsdorf) hate the game...I would go eat a damn ham sandwich and watch television...its nothing. If they lose him, its because they already have his replacement.

Are you Jerry Reinsdorf or a close friend or relative? If not how do you constantly defend this guy?

Re:Your Reactions if BG signs with Detroit for $9m

Doesn't matter when he broke out, he did. And he is a competent replacement.

He passes the ball less than Gordon, and gets to the rim less than Gordon, and is not as clutch as gordon, and doesn't shoot the 3 as well as Gordon. And he won't be a Bull after next season.

I wonder the same about some of you and Gordon. I don't see Reinsdorf the way you guys do...And I definitely don't see "all world shooting guard lets go over the lux tax to resign him" BG the way you guys do either.

He passes the ball less than Gordon, and gets to the rim less than Gordon, and is not as clutch as gordon, and doesn't shoot the 3 as well as Gordon. And he won't be a Bull after next season.

Oh, so you are Gar Forman in disguise...right...whatever you say.

Do you ever have any counter argument, or any evidence to back up your claims? All you do is use other peoples opinions as your own, its very weak.

And he will be asking as much as Gordon next offseason but only difference is Salmons will be declining in a year or two after next year while BG is only entering his prime.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Whats weak is to mindlessly genuflect with the majority...

Who are other people's opinions? My opinions are my own...and fairly unique on this forum, though when I talk to friends and fellow Bulls fans, they are not so unique.

Sorry if I don't convert to the Holy Church of BG...just ain't in me. Excuse me for being rebellious...

You constantly use other's opinions as proof that you are right - Scottie Pippen, Neil Funk, Stacey King, among others.

I don't care if you convert to Holy Church of BG. Just back up your claims with hard evidence.

He can ask all he wants, who is going to give him 8,9,10mil? Who? They will sign him to an acceptable deal at best and try to get a SG in 2010...

I WATCH THE GAMES, yeah, I actually tune in, watch, and so do the guys I quote, they are paid to watch, and give there opinions. And you disprove their opinions because you know so much more than they do.

What do you possibly know about basketball that Scottie Pippen don't know? What?

That is like having you teach me the theory of relativity and your ideology is totally contrary to Einstein's, once I find out the truth, from someone who has actually proven the formula...I am going with the master...what evidence do you need besides that.

I also refer to Sam Smith, KC Johnson, Brian Hanley, Terry Boers, maybe its because I been in college too long and I like to cite the opinions of others who are more credible because of the expertise and experience. Yet some of you have a problem with them. Because they don't agree with you. Tom Waddle feels the same way I do, didn't know that until a few weeks ago. Norm Van Lier felt the same concerning the defensive problems that I see. Charles Barkley after the playoffs was over said Gordon would be better coming off the bench. What's weak is to believe what others write and join in without thinking for yourself.

But at the end of the day, what I like to use is the great Vin Scully's words about statistics, one of the great quotes ever...
