There was no Bryant trade. Mully should follow Chicago sports once in a while. Too busy giving out the phone number.

Radio hosts and callers have every right to rip this team from top to bottom. They are garbage and certainly in line for a shredding.


Maybe I wasn't clear. I myself rip this team and what it is doing. There is a difference between ripping the team based on what is happening vs. ripping the team based on arguments like "The Bulls should have traded for Garnett" or "Kobe should be on the Bulls."

And that is what the OP was reporting was happening.

As a fan, I'd have a pretty darn hard time blaming Luol Deng or Joe Smith. But thats just me.

Bernstein has said on todays show that the Bulls are fed up with Tyrus, and that he has been told that Tyrus will be gone by the trade deadline - and that they are so fed up they don't care what they get back for him.



does anybody listen to that schlemiel? he's the radio equivalent of jay mariotti;

i'm not buying it just yet; thomas hasn't played enough to become that big a disappointment, and there'd be more behind the scences info (had there been big problems at practice) from, KC Johnson, sam smith or any of the beat guys that have far more credibility than bernstein. he's an a-hole of the first magnitude as a radio "talent".

So just to clarify, Bernstein presented this as being something he is being told by whoever his "sources" are within the Bulls? In other words, it's not just his personal opinion/speculation?

Yikes indeed.

Thats true. But all the same, I still don't feel comfortable hearing it reported.

i want to have a sports radio station to listen to but i just can't stand the score personalities.
Boorish and Jerkstein are just brutal and North is just too amped for that early in the AM.

they need to take more callers and do less talking.

I don't want to turn this into a B&B/Score bashing thread - I hate those two idiots as much as the next guy.

I just thought it was interesting that he was reporting it.


As for the lakers deal, to be fair, they were the first to report it - and then later it came out that Kobe had vetoed it.



Do you think there is any chance that Pax gives up on TT this quickly and gives him away for nothing? I know there have been reports that he's lazy - but I haven't read anything that said he was a cancer.

Because I trust Paxson, I'm going to go with no on this one and pray I'm right. I just fail to see any logic behind such a move.

Thats what i was thinking. Unless Tyrus is running around practice without any pants on, I don't know what he could be doing that would warrant such treatment. And if he has been, I would think that someone else would report it.

I don't want any GM that trades Chandler for nothing or TT for Aldridge making a trade. Let Pax sleep until we get a new GM.

I swear to God if we trade Tyrus Thomas, and the fans don't get a solid explanation as to why, I will be beyond frustrated.

I understand that there are probably things going on behind the scenes that we are not privy to, and that those things are being kept in-house for a multitude of reasons, but if we don't find out why after he is moved, then the Bulls fans will definitely be getting the shaft.

Maybe it's that Tyrus isn't nice/passive enough to play for the Bulls? He has attitude; something the Bulls don't welcome... apparently.

Or maybe we're not going to trade him and this is all bs..

Or maybe we're going to trade him for something good..

I hate to throw out reasonable possibilities.

I agree about the possibility of a trade being unlikely.

I disagree, though, that we could make a "good" trade with Tyrus at this point. I mean, we certainly wouldn't be dealing from a position of strength.

the only thing i know is that Paxson is having a brutal BAD and atrocious season as GM. he should be fired at the end of the season if we dont turned this situation.

isiah-like.

The only way he should be traded is in a package for a quote-unquote star type player. To give up on him so quickly is inexcusable.

I just love how the 2 youngest players on the team are the excuse for everyone else's faults at this point. Paxson needs to look at himself in the mirror and fix this. Tyrus and Noah are not to blame here.

At some point, Paxson may actually have to do something or trade one of his character guys for someone that can actually play. Shoot, just hiring a real NBA coach would be a great start.
