Cowley's so resourceful. Is there a live website for this yet?

Haha I just made that in paint right now and I'd be down to do it but I'm too lazy to constantly update it

Beat the Heat in the regular season, that'll show Lebron and Wade!

Beat the Knicks in the regular season, that'll show Melo!

We just cling to symbolic victories now because bottom line is, nobody wants to come here...again. Same ol' story.

Wait until Jabari Parker is an UFA. Seriously. Chill out.

those kids are smart enough to know that melo will never lead a team to a championship

It won't speak to anything. Garpax has never commented on rumors of any kind, it's kind of their company line.

I don't know about today but Bullslas said that Boozer to Utah is a done deal and he also said there will be a trade today but it won't be Taj.

That's not true at all. Throughout the entire "return" saga they tried to diffuse rumors by assuring us that they and Rose were on he same page re: his rehab.

There are ways to respond to a rumor without dignifying it with a formal response. Just get KC on the mic: "According to a source close to the team..."

They do that all the time.

This was obviously because they waned to sell playoff tickets that year. Saying their major piece wasn't going to play was going to hurt the bottom line. They knew all along he wasn't going to.

The report is BS, (which you admitted), no need to dignify with a response. What don't you understand?

who said there would be a Bulls trade today? Sorry, I'm behind on the board today!

Bulls_Fan · Post #597 » by **Bulls_Fan** » Fri Jul 4, 2014 9:19 pm

I have this mental picture that Pax, Gar, and Thibs are all huddled around the phone waiting word about Melo:

Gar: Jeez, i wonder when Melo is going to make up his mind?
(Phone Ring...Paxson wrestles the phone away from Gar)
Pax: Yes, this is the SENIOR Vice-President of Basketball operations.....uhhh, umm, Honey, i don't know when I'll be home..i gotta keep this line clear (hangs up). Uh, sorry guys, the wife wants to know when she'll see me next.
Thibs: That's why I don't mess w/ those f'ing broads. They are nothing but distractions.
Gar: I dont think we are going to land Melo, what are we going to do?
Pax: Hell if i know. Can I use the word flexability and talk about 2016?
Thibs: God damn. I pretended to like you motherf-ers for a whole day. You know how hard it was to do that? All for nothin. I'm out here. Maybe i can make the janitor run some wind sprints!

Can't the Bulls take the cap space plus the non guaranteeds and multiply that by 150% and get Melo via sign and trade

You've missed the point. And based on my past dealings with you, I'm just gonna go ahead and disengage.

I did the math. We need to multiply it by 6, which is how many titles we have. Then add 41, the number of years it's been since the Knicks won. That's the number. Get it?
