MJ ruined basketball for me. I got so used to seeing him play, and grew up always expecting the Bulls to win every game. When did you ever feel out matched or out coached?

    Never. It just wasn't going to happen. With Jordan, he was GOING to win the game. And there was nothing anyone could do about it. It wasn't even a question in my head that we were going to win the Championship every year.

    Not even for a second did I think we could lose to the Jazz in either Finals.

    for me growing up, they won their 6th championship the summer before 7th grade. growing up every summer they would win the title like the first week after school was out. it was almost like part of my summer routine for the bulls to win the title and then go out the next day to buy the new championship tshirt and hat

    Apparently that shit was over blown about the health. What we do know now though, is that this isn't the first time Paxson has tried to resign. Apparently Reinsdorf has talked him off the ledge each time. How you keep the job after that gets out, is beyond me.

    Reinsdorf wants him to stay with the orginization if he resigns though. Nice to know we have a GM who doesn't want to be here.

    If Jordan doesn't get 100% of the votes, whoever didn't vote yes for Jordan should lose their ability to vote.

    So the Bulls traded for Brad Miller and Salmons. Got rid of Nocioni, Gooden, Michael Ruffin, and someone else (bumworthy).


    Go Bulls, let's beat the Bucks! I get to watch a game for once!

    Good win last night. It sucks that Nocioni is gone kinda, but he hasn't done as much as he used to. I'm glad Gooden is gone. He put up solid numbers, but is ALWAYS injured. And plus I don't like his terrorist beard one bit. Good riddance.

    Oh and I saw this as well:

    Quote:
    The Bulls might not be done dealing before today's 2 p.m. deadline. Guard Larry Hughes -- whom the Bulls have been trying to trade for a month -- didn't make the trip to Milwaukee, and rumors circulating Wednesday night had them talking to the New York Knicks about a deal, with the principles being Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich and Knicks power forward David Lee.
    I think moving Hinrich is the right thing. He did nothing but regress here for years. He's been a great bench player for us this year, but he makes too much money that could be spent elsewhere. All in all we just need to blow all of this up and rebuild around Rose. Maybe one of the scrub talents will turn out not to be a scrub. Mainly Deng, Noah, or Thomas. What sucks about Thomas is if he gave a damn he could be good. He has an insane ammount of talent, but he's still almost as raw as when we drafted him.

    I know this sounds extremely biased because I'm a Knick fan, but do Bulls fans, after seeing Duhon play extremely well in NY, wish Hinrich would have walked and Duhon stayed? I know a lot of Bulls fans who are fed up with Hinrich, so I'm just wondering.

    Eh, Duhon was good for the system he's in. Thing is, if D'Antoni takes the Bulls job like many originaly suspected. Duhon would still be here. Maybe it's for the best though. Because being really bad will accomplish the following:

    1. Get rid of everyone but Rose (coach and GM included)
    2. A lottery pick to help Rose out

    It just seems to me like every time I see Kirk Hinrich, he's fucking something up. He doesn't play like a smart PG should.

    I mean without a doubt I'd rather have Duhon then Hinrich. I mean Captain Kirk got paid because despite regressing year after year. The Bulls expected him to get back to his 2005 form. I still think Ben Wallace is what ruined this team.

    I work with two Bulls fans who curse him night in and night out. I woke up this morning to a text from one of them saying Hinrich was about to get traded for Lee and I freaked. Then I got up and read Donnie turned it down. Thank christ.

    I mean in all fairness Hinrich can be ok at times. Last night he put up 31 points with 2 assist. I think he could be good on a veteran team.

    Hinrich can play some solid D at times. I think theres a huge motivation factor with him. He's was a huge factor in the playoffs when we made it past Miami, and even the year before when we brought miami to game 6. The main problem is his contract. I was hoping we could throw him into the Phoenix trade to sweeten it up. I figured Phoenix would want an eventual replacement for Nash

    If I'm not mistaken didn't we trade for Tim Thomas before, but he refused to play for us or something?

    yep, that definitely happened and ten he went to phoenix and played well in the playoffs i think?


    and as much as i enjoy watching gordon shoot the ball, he really doesn't fit at all. he's too small to play defense and the bulls aren't exactly an offensive powerhouse. he's basically jamal crawford on steroids

    Chicago Bulls trade Larry Hughes to Knicks for three players

    The Bulls finally found a home for Larry Hughes.

    Amusingly enough, it took bringing back formerly banished Bull Tim Thomas to do so.

    Multiple league sources confirmed that the Bulls traded Hughes to the Knicks for Thomas, seldom-used big man Jerome James and Anthony Roberson, pending league approval.

    The Bulls first acquired Thomas in the emotional Eddy Curry trade in October 2005. Shortly thereafter, management sent Thomas home for his poor practice habits. They eventually waived Thomas in March 2006.

    "I played with Tim for a couple years and had him in Phoenix. I didn't have any problem with him. I enjoyed playing with him," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "That was a long time ago. I'll sit down and talk to Tim, tell him what I expect from him, what his role is. I expect him to be professional and go do his job. He has the ability to help us."

    Thomas and James both have one season remaining on their contracts, assuming James exercises his player option of $6.6 million. Given that he rarely plays, that would seem to be a formality.

    Hughes' deal for next season is $13.65 million. Thomas is scheduled to make $6.4 million.

    "I played with Tim for a couple years and had him in Phoenix. I didn't have any problem with him. I enjoyed playing with him," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "That was a long time ago. I'll sit down and talk to Tim, tell him what I expect from him, what his role is. I expect him to be professional and go do his job. He has the ability to help us."

    Thomas and James both have one season remaining on their contracts, assuming James exercises his player option of $6.6 million. Given that he rarely plays, that would seem to be a formality.

    Hughes' deal for next season is $13.65 million. Thomas is scheduled to make $6.4 million.

    Jerome James? Is that the "Junkyard Dog" guy?
