Bulls offseason Thread

This team is going to have no problems scoring this year. But rebounding and defense seems to be a problem which is weird for a Thibodeau team.
 
how on earth didnt the bulls get jimmy locked up? If he avgs 15 while shooting 45% I can see the knicks offering him max which is what 15 mil per year? bulls messed up.

mcbuckets should earn his playing time not given it. Snell and mirotic look to be better so far. i want to see mirotic be the backup SF.
 
The only thing that makes me happy is that he's restricted. Bulls can match any offer. So if he walks, it's really their fault.
 
The pro to this situation is that Jimmy will be hungry to ball the hell out this year

As @Air273  stated, I can see the Knicks offering him the max. They declined to offer Shump an extension, and would have all the cap space needed.
 
Good read about Pau:

Good read CA!
Aside from D'Antoni pushing Pau all the way out to the perimeter (ala Diaw), the loss of Bynum and ODom really hurt Pau.
But clearly the graphs show that Pau is best when working out of the low block, which Thibs will do. It'll just take a lil time for him and Jo to find they're rythim and give each other space.

BTW Rose will be back in the lineup today :nthat:
 
i can see it now fellas ... "The Hawks offer Bulls Jimmy Butler $72M/4 years Bulls have 7 days to match or Jimmy is a Hawk" :x

hope thats not right & we can still get er dunn

He turned down 3 yrs 43 mill.

Woah!!!

That's over 14M's a year!
Not trying to discredit you or anything, but whats the source here???
Halloween night Nick Friedell was on the Waddle and Silvy show talking about how reluctant the Bulls were to go over 12 and that they're final offer was right under 11M.

I thought I heard on SC that Rose was supposed to play tonight what happened?

Also Im sorry but Butler is not worth 14M a year. If the Bulls were offering him that he should of taken it.

He was cleared and he could play but they opted to let him rest and not put the strain of a back to back on him.
I'm sure we'll see him tomorrow against the Bucks.

Orlando played a helluva game! that kid Payton is impressive.
 
I love Pau's honesty..saying he was tired after playing 40 minutes.

Nazr played 0... Strange that Doug didn't play at all in the 2nd half after playing s decent 1st too.

Eyes on the prize, Thibs. Not a November game.
 
Pau played pretty well tonight. Nazr should have got about 10 minutes tonight.

We had a stretch in the second where Thibs let the starters go for quite a while. We are still getting killed on the glass.

Both rookies played good tonight. Mirotic still commits some of those European fouls which we gotta work with him on.
