I still say we should've front loaded Boozer's contract 
..
Here's what the top 2010 free agent power forwards will be making next season:
Amare - 23.4M
Chris Bosh (if he stays) - 20.6M
Boozer - 16.8M
David Lee - 15M
Dirk was also available as well but we all knew he wasn't leaving Dallas.
As much as we criticize Boozer, he got paid market value for a guy averaging 20 & 10 at the time. We probably could've got him for 5 yr/65 Mil but after striking out on Wade/Bosh/Lebron, we had to make sure somebody took our money. Thank God we didn't sign Amare though :x

I'm pretty pessimistic about our situation. Our Fo hasnt shown that they can trade for a big name. We all how its gone in the past as far as luring big time free agents ie...McGrady, Grant Hill, Le*****, Bum Wade etc............................. i see no light at the end of the tunnel.

Remember when Krause met T-Mac at OHare with the Luvabulls and a marching band?
That's why you have to look at this draft class and fully embrace the tank. Unless they are thinking to 2015 in bringing in KLove or KD in 2016? Highly unlikely though...

Let me guess, the guy guarding him got called for a foul afterwards?

When deng says he didnt ask for 15 million I completely believe him..... could I be wrong of course but I think we have one of the shadiest FO in the league they do things completely the wrong way and wonder why players dont accept there offers and why other players dont want to come here. Word spreads quickly in that nba community.
Mirotic things blows me because I truly dont believe he better than Taj therefore I dont see the priority the FO is putting into him , I see no tank in our future especially with Thibs and playing in the east.
In the end if you ask me we need a new FO and a new image around the league if we wanna attract top talent

Did our FO say that he requested 15, or was that just the rumor?

I think that was just a rumor out there. I think he wanted 12-13 personally.

I don't think the FO explicitly said it, but I know it was floated through the radio. That could also mean the FO said it through different channels.
Here's the link to the KC Johnson article. It's interesting to say the least:

"“Three days before the trade, Gar called me upstairs and put three years, $30 million on the table. Take it or leave it. No negotiation. I said no and that was it. But 15? That’s the only thing that upset me. I’m not upset with the organization. I want everyone to understand that. If I was a GM, would I make that move? Maybe."
I still agree with the decision but Damn |I

So much good discussion right now.
People are worries about a ball stopper in this offense? C'mon folks. There is no rhythm or movement to this offense. Most times it was a few passes and here Derrick save us. Melo is perfect for the bulls.
Good defensive system hides his deficiencies and his offense finally saves you on the other end. A lineup or rose,butler,melo,taj,Noah can be very impressive.
Now get rose to call melo or k. Love already!

Man that's messed up. Showed Lu no respect at all. Basically three that offer in his face to show fans they tried. Not saying it was the wrong move but just how they went about it.
Pax assaulting vinny (not to mention hiring him in the first place)
Firing thibs top assistant
Childish front office

In all fairness to Amare--He's been hurt for the last couple of seasons. The man works incredibly hard and puts in the work to be effective when healthy. He's been back this season and has consistently put up solid number coming off the bench. He's still not 100% healthy though. When healthy--Amare is a solid threat to give you 16-18 a game with 8 board. He also has a nice perimeter game that Boozer doesn't have. His post game has vastly improved as well. Asides from Kobe, Amare has benefited the most working with Hakeem Olujuwon during the offseason. He has a legit post game now.
Boozer fits better with the Bulls though. It worked out for you guys. The contract Boozer got was purely out of situation. He was going to make that much money anywhere he landed.

I'm not sure if serious. You must be talking about Amare shooting 3's on occasion, because Boozer gets about half of his points in the 15-20 ft range.

Im not with that we tried crap. FO low balled Lu on purpose knowing he would walk, you cant offer your 2nd best player basically the same contract as taj. I do think a number could have been met that suited our future plans and showed LU some respect. Like I said a new FO is really whats needed.
Now its time for Jimmy to grow up quickly because weather he wants it or not he is being molded on and off the court as the bulls next glue guy.

i said the same thing 10mil/year for a player thats on the decline is pretty good offer. now Deng will probay wind up getting 12-13mil/year. but he imo wont be appreciated by his new fans/team like our fans/coaches appreciated him in the CHI
