They really do. I think the tank starts this year with a fire sale and in-season coaching change.RookieStar wrote:eyriq wrote:Bulls suck

Yup.. they need to build value for their vets like what we did. Right now Zach DDR and Vuc has little value.

Impressive but looks like a steal. Seems like he's throwing an alley oop or his layup attempt is just way left of the basket

Mark Williams will always be a favorite of mine. He’s a beast on defense and the boards.
Sucks he went to a team with a bunch of crackheads like Charlotte.

Naaaah it was a shot attempt. i think thats the trend for the undersized nba guards. You place your layup shots really high on the backboard to prevent blocks. Seen it a couple times with different players

Wanted to trade for him somehow. He would have been a great 1-2 punch with WCJ.
