Fine, let them do it then. I'd love to see the Bulls gut their young talent only in the HOPES of landing two MAX contracts. Even if they get the space, LeBron actually has to AGREE to go there. All things considered, I say both Cleveland and New York are far more attractive destinations. You don't need an MBA to see what a phenomonally bad business decision it would be to leave Cleveland to go to a city and a franchise that is already thoroughly branded all over the globe as Michael Jordan's 6-time world championship franchise.
Two Max spots or not, I can't understand why LeBron would choose Chicago over Cleveland or New York. Makes no sense to me, sorry. Especially when you consider how poorly the Bulls have treated their players and all the bad decisions they've made for the 80% of their history that doesn't include Michael Jordan, both before and after.
I'm with you in theory but I'm not sure it will hold up in practice. We'll find out soon!
Look at it this way, we've had the most cap room for a while and people still counted us out. Now we still have tons of cap room and the Bulls have almost as much (though still not quite as much).
So what did we lose really? People were counting us out before. Now they'll count us out even more.
None of that matters if LeBron REALLY wants NY. We'll find out.
But it's not like we lost anything just now -- everybody was saying we were dead WITH lots of cap room, so what's changed? Now we're the underdogs at least -- less pressure.
We can relax. Let the Bulls fans worry now. They have everything to lose now and a lot to worry about. What if LeBron doesn't trust Reinsdorf? What if Bosh won't go to Chicago?
We still have a good offer. And we have NYC, MSG which speaks for itself. Let's see what comes of it. In the meantime we can relax and let the chips fall where they may while Bulls fans sweat it out with all their cap room.
