Bulls should look to get Harden if he's a free agent next summer

Noah
PF - Ship Boozer elsewhere
Deng
Harden
Rose

lol



NO ONE is taking Boozer and Bulls wouldnt even have the money even if they did amnesty Boozer.

someone correct me if im wrong.

 

[olx9o]

I feel disrespected that Boozer gets disrespected by NBA fans on a daily basis Respect tha fuccin gawd Boozy Boo

 

[Animal Thug]

LMAOOO. Boozer was incompetent during times he was paid to be above average.

He's 2 years removed from his prime, it's all down hill for him from here on...

 

[olx9o]

Last year he had no D.Rose & the year before that he had to deal with

 

[yeeupp]

damn.. at that flop

Refs should go back to film after games to hand out fines

 

[airjordan jb23]

They did Brooks dirty

The reason they got him was because they said his rookie season was shortened, so he was due 16 more games of rookie hazing

 

[pmatic]

If I'm Harden and I want to stay with the Thunder.. I sign a 5 year deal, but give myself an opt out after 2...
Gives him the ability to stay in a great situation, and eat his cake as well with the ability to choose his own situation in a couple years if he so chooses..

Harden can only sign an extension that is 4 years long since Westbrook took the 5 year extension already.

And while the article about Harden, Ginobili and Johnson brought up some good points, one thing it got wrong was about Sarver re-signing Johnson. Sarver intended to match the Hawk's offer to Johnson for $70 million initially before inexplicably agreeing to the sign and trade.

Taj will be up for an extension next year so that will be their main goal. Look for the Bulls to try and make some solid moves Summer 2014.

No other team can offer him a poison pill either. I obviously want hoim to stay and think he should, but if Presti'n'em are not offering a full max then I ain't mad at him for signing someone else;s offer sheet since it would be tantamount to having chosen Ibaka over him. If Gordon can get the max and bums like Batum can get what he got, James is worth it and I'm sure it's teams out there willing to offer it. How bout Minnesota? Get Cp3 to stay and go home to LA(C)?

 

[you big dummy]

^ Didn't KD and Westbrook both take less than max money? If I was OKC there is no way I can justify making Harden the highest paid player on the team.

 

[champcruthik]

Didn't the Kings prank chip Jackson's paint? Popcorn in the interior is one thing. Exterior, I'd be extremely annoyed.

Stephen Jackson, at The Breakfast Club – Power 105.1

Not KD, although the Thunder offered him an early opt out year and he declined that (as well as signing at 12:01am and never exploring free agency) but his next 4 yrs look like this $17,548,838 - $18,773,176 - $19,997,513 - $21,221,850. Westbrook took a pretty substantial cut since he could have gotten up to 5/95 and took 5/78 (or 80 depending on your source). Serge didn't really leave much on the table taking 4/48 (some people say actually 51). If Serge had taken less, I'd say James should too but he got his guap so **** it, it's too much to ask for all these young millionaires to take less so they can play with their friends and current teammates in lieu of leaving for cities they probably would like better and more money, possibly increased roles. Bennett and them just gonna have to quit being ******* about the tax.

They got the money, need to come up off the guap, plus it'd pay for itself to win a title and the loss in equity and overall value would supercede the savings if you don't pony up, and kats (especially KD) start leaving. See LeBron in Cleveland, or IMO anyways.

Didn't the Kings prank chip Jackson's paint? Sure, that's "only" 50k-plus, modest for a NBA player. Popcorn in the interior is one thing. Exterior, I'd be extremely annoyed.

He started it when he did the same to Donte Greene for being a rookie, then gonna catch feelings when he gets got back. And Greene would've murdered his old fragile, injury prone *** anyways.

 

[wavy bone]

so I'm guessing the next 5 looks like

Rose
Paul
Durant
Howard
Lebron

Based on their reps and demeanor...i'd put my money on BJ. I know Donte (or knew him during his TC days)...and a fighter he is not. Demarcus got the best of him in their little scrap and Donte was seriously trying to get his crew involved afterwards

And the #1 rule for anyone that's ever been in hazing (i.e a frat)....you cannot return prank on a superior. That's the whole point. You take your lumps and give them back to the rookies next year.

@CAGrizBlog Griz forward Darrell Arthur suffers leg fracture in pickup game. Won't be ready for start of camp. CA story coming...

DA with another injury. |I

Edit:

@ChrisVernonShow So the story on Darrell Arthur is he has leg fracture/ I was told not horrible. Could be out a month, but week by week thing. Bad luck.

 

[Bert.]

is Darell Arthur supposed to break out or something

its been a couple years, i havent heard his name or seen anything from him...

 

[pmatic]

He was the best bench player for the Grizzlies in 2010-2011. Not to mention, he played the important first big man off the bench role that season.

lol wut?


Its a good thing its not season ending. From what I heard today, Speights is going to make a strong push for most improved player this year. He's really been putting in work this off-season. DA should be ready come time for the season.

I would take Tony Allen's opinions with a grain of salt.
