The point was Forman said:

QUOTE
"We like Ben; Ben's been a key, key component for us," "Our goal is to re-sign Ben. From the conversations we've had, Ben wants to remain with the Bulls."

and up until he signed with Detroit, the Bulls never had ANY offer on the table. So how do you go from the biggest priority and main offseason goal, to not even tabling an offer.

If this is BS, then someone from the front office should at least address it.

Gordon was just pissed that he was not on the TalkBulls banner.

Man, if that is the case, that is just wrong. Top priority = no offer?

Double suck. Losing Gordon and having him go to Detroit. Like others have said, draft makes zero sense now, especially with 2 picks. Ugh.

It is all going to come down to Boston's shooting and the Bulls defense.

When Boston won, they shot .488, .481, and .490;

When Boston lost, they shot .421, .434, and .394.

In these close series, those few points are the difference between wins and losses.


I also like our chances because there is no way Allen goes off for 50+ again.

The ball was no where near his mouth, so I don't know how that is not called a Flagrant. It should not have came to that though. The Bulls had built a double digit lead, and let it slip away with some bad defense.

BTW, I hate KG. That whole Boston team is pretty annoying.

Maybe. At first I thought we matched up better against Boston than Orlando because our athleticism outshines theirs and we can get out and run but they are battle tested and play tremendous defense whereas we do not, we don't even play average defense and we have to guard the Big 3. Orlando would be almost impossible to beat if they kept hitting 3's all night but atleast Rose could assert himself a little better since Alston is pretty bad. I just have a feeling Rondo is going to throw alley oop after alley oop to KG off of pick and rolls while Ray Allen loses Gordon off of screens and shoots lights out from 3.

If you look at each matchup I don't think we win any against Boston

Rose<Rondo
Gordon<Allen
Salmons<Pierce
Tyrus<KG
Noah<=Perkins

Against Orlando we'd have two matchups in our favor in the backcourt

Rose>Alston
Gordon>Lee
Salmons<Lewis
Tyrus<Turkoglu
Noah<<<<Howard

With KG out this is a totally different series; and we are a completely different team with Salmons and Miller.

Deng is out too, and we are only going to use an 8 man rotation at best, so this is all pretty moot. With KG out, our chances improve greatly, but we really need to buckle down defensively.

Yeah, but there is no way you can compare KG to Deng. Also, the Bulls picked up Salmons and Miller, so the loss of Deng has been felt much less.

If we can somehow gameplan to take away Pierce (I know, easier said than done), we have a great shot at stealing a win in Boston. If we can steal one, it is anybody's series. With KG playing, we are probably swept. Now we at least have a chance to win 3 and maybe even the series. You know that Boston was expecting KG back, so that is also a demoralizing event when that expectation is not met. All the players will have even more pressure to produce in the playoffs. The first game is going to be epic. If we were to win that one, they would be really pressing the rest of the series.

We have a lot of things going for us which is a great position to be in compared to where we were a couple of months ago.

A pretty good read about the Celts with and without KG: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/stor...=PERDiem-090416

And the Bulls, definitely a team a lot of people like cause of Jordan, get the first pick. David Stern is up to something! laugh.gif


Speaking of the Bulls. We offered more for Gasol and Memphis still made the trade to the Lakers:

QUOTE
Around the league, nothing will change this belief: Whatever the reasoning, this was one of the NBA’s worst trades in years. Most of all, rival executives wonder why they never had a chance to submit a best offer. For Gasol, the 7-footer who transformed the Lakers in the absence of Andrew Bynum, the Grizzlies were willing to take back the expiring contract of Kwame Brown, rookie point guard Javaris Crittenton, two future No. 1 picks and the draft rights to Gasol’s brother, Marc.

One source with knowledge of the process said the Bulls had made the most credible offer. For Gasol and Memphis’ Hakim Warrick, the Bulls were willing to part with Andres Nocioni, Tyrus Thomas, Joakim Noah, Thabo Sefolosha, possibly Adrian Griffin and draft picks.

In Texas,
A local radio station was speculating that Dorsey was doing that for Rose. That Rose wants to go to Miami to play with Wade. They listed a ton of speculative reasons (too much pressure in hometown, doesn't like the fit, coaching situation, etc). Sounded feasible, but I highly doubt the Bulls have already made their decision.

After the trades for Garnett and Allen, which seemed to be fairly one-sided last summer, I had to question these moves. There were so many teams in the running for both of these guys, yet the Celts packages for both were the best available? That is hard to believe. (Boston ties with Minnesota - McHale)

Then earlier this year, another trade goes down with the Lakers trading for Gasol without giving up Andrew Bynum. Again, there seemed to be several teams in the mix, and the Lakers offer was the best. (Lakers ties with Memphis - Jerry West before he left)

What these trades did is set the stage for an epic matchup between the Celts and Lakers in the 2008 Finals, the NBA's dream come true. No more boring Spurs or Pistons to deal with. The ratings would be their highest in years, and would seem to revitalize the sport. Last year's Finals ratings were the lowest ever with 4 out of the last 5 years dipping below a 10.0 rating, the first time it has been that low since 1981.

Now I know most people do not like to question the integrity of the sport, but there is so much money involved nowadays that it is hard to ignore. It could be just a coincidence and great personnel moves by both clubs, but no team in history had a bigger turnaround than the Celtics (+42 wins), which makes it even more questionable.

Just throwing that out there before the Finals get started. Then on to the most important day in Bulls history in quite some time.

There are 4 players in the league I would swap the #1 pick for. James, Paul, Bryant, and Wade. And then I'd only be willing to add enough guys to account for the cap space, and I'd expect a nice bit back in return. So they're asking for anything involving this year's #1, HA.

I would take Wade off the list, and add Stoudemire, Deron Williams, and Dwight Howard.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ May 21 2008, 01:30 PM) *
That's an interesting claim that Rose clearly gives them a better chance to win a title considering that the top-5 point guards since 1990 (Stockton, Kidd, Nash, Paul and Williams) have zero titles between them and the last 3 have all been eliminated. Ducan and Shaq have basically dominated the preceedings recently, though the Pistons did crack the run a bit and Wade was better when the Heat won. Granted Beasley isn't a dominant big man quite along those lines even if he could put up 20-10 for a long time...

Eh, I'm nitpicking, who gives a spiff, they're both awesome. Figure out which one fits your long term plans better and take him.

ZS, that is an interesting take. However, Paul and Williams both carried their young teams pretty far into the playoffs, they just lacked the supporting cast.

I actually think the pick will come down to what the trade market looks like. If they can get better value for guards, then they will draft Rose and look to trade one of their guards. The same goes for Forwards. Either way someone on the current roster is being traded.

I'll go with Beasley, but would be happy with him or Rose. If we pick Rose, then I would expect some serious trades to go down.

Seems like Rose has the bigger upside being compared with Paul, Kidd, and Wade.
