Well, fish... Wish we could have gotten rid of Deng's or Hinrich's terrible contracts to re-sign BG.

Well it's been fun.. I'm going to say it again, this is going to be a huge loss for us. Might be lottery bound again. Still plenty of offseason to go but we have absolutely no depth at all in the back court. Hell, we don't even have a starting SHOOTING GUARD now!

And yes, I have to agree with the person that said "Our draft sucks" because it's awful now.

Ugh, how could the Bulls NOT match that offer? He's going to look weird in a Pistons uniform. I'm not too worried, but I will miss BG.

We saw this coming.
I wish BG all of the luck in the world at Detroit, but he wasn't worth anywhere near what he got. |

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

QUOTE (Balta1701-B @ Jul 1 2009, 06:39 PM) Frankly, I disagree. Fair enough. I'm with the Bulls on this one. The writing for BG was on the wall when they brought Salmons over...disagree or not with the Bulls letting BG walk, it shouldn't be a surprise. |

The Bulls failed on so many levels with this. I don't care about the 11 million per it's our situation now that has got me pissed. Salmons can move over and play the 2, fine. He's still not the shot maker BG is/was. So many times he had to bring the Bulls back into the game with his shots. What are we going to do now when Salmons gets tired? Who's going to sub for him!! Demarcus Nelson?!
Why are we so inactive this offseason. We couldn't get rid of Kirk to Portland, we couldn't get Amare, Bosh is an uncertainty next year. So the question becomes, what else are we going to do? If we keep the team the way it is now, Hello 2010 Lottery. Frankly, there really isn't anyone to sign, the rest of the class sucks.. I'd like to see us try and trade for Rudy Fernandez but that's never going to happen.. We have gone from a log jam at the guard position to a log jam at the forward position in less than a year. What a great front office we have.. |

Looks like they're getting Villanueva too. Another in-division FA. Maybe they're just trying to piss off their inter-divisional rivals. Anyway, this doesn't make their team that great IMO.
