Why are the Bulls so against using the D-League?

I don't understand that either. Same with summer league, we have a bunch of nobodies. We didn't even go ask undrafted rookies who had decent college careers.

not sure about the dleague but I think the bulls didnt go after may top name undrafted rookies because they want to give the bulk of the minutes to teague, snell, malcolm thomas, and erick murphy. They are proabaly going to look at goudelock and routins to see if they can bring anything valuable to the team. but all of the top undrafted players proably chose summerleague rosters that they know that they have a chance of making the team. And they proably also chose a summerleague roster that they know they get more playing time on. The bulls are proably are only going to sign 1 or two more players.It seems more likely that they are going to be vets. I do hope they give goudelock a look if they cant resign nate though.

They are against it because of what happened to their young big man, Martynas Andriuskevicius.

He was in the Hughes/Gooden for Wallace trade right? I remember him, I remember him going to the D-League, but I don't remember what happened?

Way before that 2005 44th pick was traded to the bulls in 06 and in the 06 summer league suffered a fractured skull courtesy of a punch from Awvee Storey.

He got sucker punched by a teammate during practice. I think Martynas was practicing hard and the guy didn't like it or something and hit him so hard that I think Martynas ended up being in the hospital. It was a real dirty hit if I remember correctly.

Edit: Found an article.

”He has a skull fracture, severe concussion and a two-centimeter hematoma on the left side of his brain,” Andriuskevicius’ agent Herb Rudoy said. ”They’ve been monitoring him because they’re concerned about seizures.

”From what I’m told, when he got hit unexpectedly, he went out cold instantly and fell right back on his head.”

Brett Poirier NBA ‏@BrettNBA 2h

Source: Raptors interested in signing free agent Nate Robinson, would use him as backup point guard behind Kyle Lowry

Kevin Bryant ‏@KevinRashidi 2h

Talks about getting Nate Robinson or Rodrigue Beaubois are back on as Raptors will NOT be signing Julyan Stone due to a failed physical.#R

So Nate could be Toronto bound now. This would be the 2nd year Toronto took our 3rd string PG.

They better get Beaubois. If they don't, they're clearly racists.

This was after the Dwight Buycks signing? In the WT is said:

The Oklahoman first reported that Buycks had agreed to be the Raptors’ backup point guard.

I realize it would make since to have a veteran PG as back-up as Buycks is unproven at the NBA level, but was just curious if these tweets were taking that signing into consideration

No JamesOn had different issues in the d leauge. He was arrested for public urination. Those two reasons I think why the fo doesn't like letting our rookies go down there. They probably feel it's not the best atmosphere and they could just teach them more by themselves.

Buycks failed his physical

Do the raptors have the full mle still? Chances are they will offer him half of that :sad:

If that is true, the Raptors must be jinxed, since Julyan Stone failed his. Maybe that is enough reason for Nate to stay away? I see Dallas as a better fit anyway.

Buycks and Stone failed physicals? Or was that a typo in the Kevin Bryant tweet

It's just a Q&A that's transcribed for the web. He's basically sent them 10 questions, they sent responses, and it was called an interview.

My favorite part:

I was just about to write "fml," but then I saw your addition about the source and now I'm all "lol."

But it's still plausible that Nate would go there. Damn, I hope not.
