Around The NBA: 2019-20 RESTART

[HomoSapien]

I doubt they’ll consider Burke with all the pgs we have, but what about Jonah Bolden? A bunch of us were high on him before the draft and we could use his size.

Funny how we have "all these PG's", but we still don't really have any PG's.

Very much the truth, I just don't think they'll consider adding to that position right now. I think they're perfectly comfortable with Sato and Archie taking up 90% of the PG minutes, and I'm sure they'll slowly start letting White get some more burn there too.

[GimmeDat]

Always thought Bolden had tools coming out of the draft, but he's never really put them together yet, and he's 24 now. I might be being a bit harsh, because his stats his rookie year were really fine in many respects, but I have soured on him a bit.

I'm cool with him as a 5th big, but we already have plenty, so wouldn't really go out of our way to target him.

As for Burke, he was more efficient with the Sixers, but I still don't think he'll be anything more than a 3rd stringer microwave guy.

You're probably right and it illustrates how incompetent they are at most facets. I mean in no way should Archi or Shaq be the reason you cant bring in guys to evaluate in a piss poor year riddled with injury. Throw Felicio and that stupid contract in the mix as well.

I mean this is one way teams like Miami and Toronto have made out with such success. Finding G league type talent or waiver wire inserts. We cant even do that because we're a rebuilding team locked into guys with little to no value. Absurd management.

When does Fred Hoiberg’s contract run out?

At the end of this season.

Boy Toy Boylen can then be fired.

Yep. We need a Nick Nurse type of slam dunk hire.

That won’t happen with Pax at the helm.

[DASMACKDOWN]

Its crazy that this season Toronto is about to win their 14th straight game. The Bucks are perpetually in a 10 game win streak. And even the Knicks have now won 4 straight games.

Bulls cant even win 3 straight games.

[RakimAbdulJabar]

Those G-Leaguers made a game of it against the Lakers, there’s some talent on that roster despite the team record

Problem is Boylen zaps the fun part of the game. Our guys don't believe in coach, they don't want to be here imo. You can see it when they are on the bench. No real enthusiasm, they're just going through the motions. As soon as the other team makes a run they fold most of the time.

we are not locked in to arci or shaq. they are on a roster right now because they deserve to be. trey burke and jonah bolden are not on rosters for a reason. not on the heat, not on the raptors, not anywhere. i assume that burke will find a SIXTH team to take a chance on him because of the seemingly timeless allure of being a former lotto pick, but who knows. eventually he's gonna run out of teams that ignore the reality that he doesn't play a lick of defense

kinda ironic that you're complaining about arci and shaq preventing the bulls from taking chances on castoffs when they are themselves successful examples of acquiring players w/o a home

Man, what a game by the Wolves against the Clippers. Malik Beasley will make himself a lot of money if he keeps playing like this.

[FriedRise]

Knicks on a 4-game winning streak beating teams like Orlando and Indiana. Wizards on the rise after Beal got the All Star snub with a quality win vs the Mavs. These two teams are healthier and more of a candidate for the last playoff spot than Chicago or the slumping Orlando.

Collison decides to stay retired must be a blow to the lakers; you dont court him in that way if you didnt need him.

One of weirder stories around.

Collison decides to stay retired must be a blow to the lakers; you dont court him in that way if you didnt need him.

Absolutely hilarious given the way Jeannie Buss attempted to put a show on with him in front of the Lakers fans by trotting him out to sit with her, then both removing their hoods like some big reveal for the fans.. it was pathetic at the time, showing Collison in hopes of exciting the fans after losing to the Clips at the deadline... now it’s just funny.

[PrimzyBulls81]

Tyler Johnson could be a good pickup for some team.. I wouldnt mind him on the Bulls. He is better than Arci, Shaq, Val..

any news as to why he declined? couldn't have have been a money thing, right?

He said this back in June:
"While I still love basketball, I know there is something more important, which is my family and my faith," Collison said. "I am one of the Jehovah's Witnesses, and my faith means everything to me.

I imagine it's the same reason now.

I haven't heard anything. Like Eddie said could be a faith thing. He was looking at getting 10 mil per year offers before retirement so I don't think it's about money.

so he's basically really wishy-washy? you could be right, but if i make a major decision like retirement i'm not gonna months later effectively go through the process of 2nd guessing myself in public. odd behavior

Is there a problem here?

Why do people keep acting like Zach deserves any of this stuff?

The Bulls fanbase needs to break out of the Stockholm syndrome.
