Burgundy LaRue Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 BOOZER I think he gets the axe next year. The Bulls will want to clear space for any big-time free agent that may consider Chicago as their new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 For sure. Everyone was calling for the amnesty after his horrible performance against the Heat in the ECF, but I feel like he has earned respect in the two seasons since then. The Bulls need his offense too much to amnesty him before they absolutely have to. Next year is going to be a wild off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Speaking of which, it's been leaked that the Lakers will be pursuing their own big 3 by bringing in both LeBron and Melo next offseason. Tampering issues aside (and I'm sure the Commissioner will have something to say about that)... lol Lebron will have to be convinced that: 1) Leaving a team that's won 2 (or 3) out of the last 4 championships... 2) Playing with 40 year old Steve Nash and surly Kobe Bryant (who's never played in a situation where he's 2nd fiddle)... 3) Playing with Carmelo who will not pass - EVER... 4) Reliving 2011 on a team that will have to literally be built from scratch... ... is better than staying in Miami (OR going to Broadway, OR going home). I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'd be hard pressed to see Lebron walking away. Especially if he's got his 3rd ring in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Other than the Olympics, I can't even imagine how a team of Carmelo and Lebron would even function. I just can't fathom it and that's before you add Kobe to the mix. That sounds like the worst mix of superstar personalities possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's really the key. You can't break up the chance to win 4+ in a row, but if Indy or Chicago or someone can step up this season then all bets are off. I would love to see LBJ go somewhere unexpected.

Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Spain or Chicago or China. Any of those three would work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 After a lot of thought, I've that I'm going to take my talents to. . . . . . . .the Tarheel State, and join the Charlotte Bobcats/Hornets. INTERNET MELTDOWN! Of course, most would demand to know how many times Jordan burned LeBron with his ever-present cigar to convince him to make the move. And don't think Jordan wouldn't stoop to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I think he's either staying in Miami or going back to Cleveland. I don't see him wanting to start over in another market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The Lakers pursing Melo and Lebron is such a "we don't have anything left to talk about this offseason" story. Of course, they're interested...so is every team with enough cap space. Bulls fans have grown to respect Boozer in the past two seasons? Nice try, Jrag, but I've been to a Bulls fan site a time or two. I know you're trying to up his trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The Bulls fans who still hate on Boozer are the same people who think Da Bears should get rid of Jay Cutler because his face looks whiny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 They/we hate Boozer because he's what we settled for after all of the guys we saved up cap space to try and buy went to Miami together instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We overpaid, which is obviously a big reason, but the Boozer hate train really amped up when we got this wild idea that Taj Gibson would develop offensively. Thing is, Taj is sneaky old. He is about as developed as he is ever going to get. The equally ridiculous talking point (one that I am guilty of), was that Taj could maintain his level of play with an increased workload. There is really no evidence pointing towards that being the case. Locking up Taj over Asik is looking like a worse move than overpaying for Boozer. Edit: Other reasons people hate Boozer: Fake hairline, has annoying heat fan kids, injured suspiciously right when he signed the contract etc etc etc. Still, I'm on the Booze Cruise until next year because who the fuck else is going to score.

Jrag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Off topic, but I can't let that slide! Cutler is the best QB in Bears history, so... there really aren't any good reasons. It might be a sad thing to say, but that doesn't make it any less true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be a sad thing to say, but that doesn't make it any less true. Fans always want an upgrade, and given his struggles its only natural. You are right, I think, not being a Bears historian. Having said that wanting to get rid of him and being able to upgrade are two very different things. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
