it's probably best for all parties

t-wolves could contend in a couple years if GS breaks up

Organization is retarded. People in Chicago would be happy just having players like (healthy) Rose, Jimmy, and Taj Gibson on the roster even if it meant the team would win 30 games. No idea why anyone would get rid of people who are bringing in the fans so hard.

Why did they bring in Rondo and Wade and then go into rebuild mode the very next year? Wade isn't even here for cheap.

>>76707694
I'd rather have another wasted year that ends with Gar and Pax fired

>>76707726
no plan

terrible front office

>>76707694
they had 30 million in cap room last year to rebuild. instead they brought in dead "stars". what makes you think after 15 years THIS is the moment that they show competence and build a good team?

>>76707710

His value would decline with every year they wasted. This deal isn't even worse than the one they turned down last year depending on how you feel about Lavine vs Wiggins.

>>76707726
>>76707738

They mistakenly thought they could possibly compete with them and were wrong. It happens all the time. Cutting your losses is smarter than just throwing more money and time down the sinkhole

>>76707776

Wow it's actually starting to hit me.

When I first saw him he was a bench warmer. Would only get minutes during the most garbage of times.

And now he's all nba. And now he's gone.

Derrick rose, Taj Gibson, and Jimmy butler. All 3 of them were adamant about staying in Chicago. All were traded for trash.

I didn't get to watch Jordan fuck the NBA during the 90s: I only got into sports recently. Derrick rose was my first chicago star. And this dog shit front office fucked not just rose, but everyone in the city of Chicago.

Someone come to Lincoln Park and kill me please.

>>76707798

When you are stuck in NBA hell by being a fringe playoff team with no chance to improve, no cap room, and no good draft picks

>>76707821

You are severely underestimating what they got back. Lavine is good and shows massive improvements every year and most players usually bounce back from 1 acl tear. Dunn is srill super talented and at the very least is a good defender. The Finn guy is a mystery but at least brings shooting. They did not do badly

I havent watched the bulls in years and from what it looks like for good reasons

Just how bad did they get traderaped?

>>76707893
>fringe playoff team with no chance to improve

It was the first year with Wade and Rondo, Valentine and Canaan both showed improvement despite low minutes, and they even won a couple games against the #1 seed in the first round. Could've conceivably won the series if Rondo wasn't hurt. Wishful thinking, sure, but to say no chance to improve is just wrong.

At first I was upset and thought the Bulls made a mistake. But then I thought about it and realized life is just a limited struggle for love and survival where we do the small bit we can to find meaning and purpose on this earth and then I realized it wasn't as bad a move as I originally thought.

>>76707694

This "you rebuild by getting rid of your best player!" meme that causal fans invented needs to die. Literally no championship team in the last 20 years did that because it's not how you build.

Did the Spurs give up David Robinson because he had no chance of beating Hakeem's Rockets, much less the Bulls?
Did they give up in 2010+ because 35 year old Duncan was too old to be the best player on a championship team?
Did the Celtics give up Paul Pierce before 2008 because he consistently lead them nowhere?
Did the Heat give up DWade once Shaq left even though were a literal lottery team some years?
Did the Mavs give up Dirk because a 7 ft shooter with shaky D was never going to beat the Spurs or Lakers?
Did the Warriors give up Curry when he was average 18-20 ppg and had glass ankles because there's no way he could be the #1 on a championship team?

You could've been bad WITH Butler and still kept a star you might someday contend with as your #1 or 2 guy like those teams above.

>>76708036
But now they can build around Kris Dunn kek

>>76708036

Warriors, Lakers, Pistons and that's just in the last 15 years

>>76708079
When did the Lakers get rid of their best player?

>>76708095

Shaq was still better than Kobe at that time

>>76708115

>>76708079

Lakers did not give up Kobe, in those garbage years after Shaq left and he was missing the playoffs at times with Smush Parker.

The Warriors did not give up their best player unless you're referring to Monta Ellis or Baron Davis, which is irrelevant because they became a contender by not giving up on Steph.

Which "best player" did Detroit give up?

>>76708148

Trading Monta Ellis was what really jumpstarted the current Warriors and he was easily there best player at the time

The Pistons traded Stackhouse for Rip Hamilton in the early 00s which facilitated them building their championship team.

You can argue about Shaq and Kobe but you get the point. Trading your best player has worked in the past.

>>76708115
but they didn't win in 09 and 10 BECAUSE they gave up Shaq in the sense that they got some superstar lottery pick that ended up carrying them. They won because they didn't also give up Kobe and eventually they got a future HoFer in Pau and a deep bench to join him.

>>76708189
Rip Hamilton is not a superstar. The 04 Pistons are one of the weirdest anomalies in sports because they had a bunch of decent players between drafts and signings that meshed perfectly even though none of them was truly anything close to a superstar. Chauncey was the only one that was ever close to being a great overall player. And obviously it wasn't sustainable at all for them.

all in on felicio ya'll

>inb4 he's gone too

>>76708205
>>76708232

They had to trade Stackhouse to REBUILD the team. They had to give up Shaq to REBUILD around Kobe. It's the same principle behind the Butler trade except they might not necessarily have a Kobe depending on how you feel about Dunn/Lavine/The Finn

This was the same trade offer that the T-wolves made Jimmy butler last year.

>>76708253
>They had to trade Stackhouse to REBUILD the team. They had to give up Shaq to REBUILD around Kobe

and the bulls trade butler to REBUILD around Robin Lopez?

>>76708253
>they might not necessarily have a Kobe

That's a fucking understatement.

>>76708232
Chauncey was definitely a superstar, but he played a more traditional PG so it wasn't very explosive.

>>76708265

It was Wiggins instead of Lavine last year, but honestly Lavine looked better than Wiggins before the injury

>>76708265
>put up career highs this year
>they don't even ask for more

jesus fucking christ Garpax

>>76708189

not the guy you're replying to but Monta Ellis was never more than a high utility role player that got starter minutes. He was not a real star player that you could even possibly be a championship around as your #1 or #2 like any of the other examples. So no, that doesn't count.

>>76708189
Curry was always better than Monta Ellis.

>>76707686
fuck off we're full

>>76708304

He was a borderline allstar and some teams did think he could be the guy even if history shows us they were wrong and he wasn't/couldn't

>>76708253

No, it's not the same concept at all because the Bulls don't have a spare Kobe or any other superstar lying around. That would be a completely different argument. They won the championships in 09 and 10 with Kobe as their best player because they never gave him up when he WAS their best player.

You're making the argument when they had two bona fide superstars. The Bulls don't, they have 1 so the comparable situation was giving up on Kobe when he was the only one there (which they actually considered, and he even demanded a trade if your remember). They kept him, didn't give him up for draft picks or hope for someone else to replace him which is the situation people are talking about with Butler.

>>76708355
*drives up I-94*

can't stop me bitch

Is Zach Lavine a good trade? I thought he was just a dunking meme

>>76708395
he can't even dunk now

>>76708395

if he was healthy, and they didn't give up their #16 pick then sure. but neither of those are the case so no, it's a terrible trade.

Finally got rid of Derrick Rose just to trade your star for another athletic dependent player coming off an ACL injury. JUST.

The worst part of this is that GarPax bought themselves more time with this highway robbery.

I wanted to trade Jimmy but not for this garbage. We have a new Derrick Rose and a meme euro player who will be a bust


Would have rather had the #3 pick straight up

>>76708395

He turned himself into a good shooter too. He looked pretty good before the injury. Bad defender though, but his work ethic is insane. His improvement compared to Wiggins is staggering. It all depends on how he bounces back from the injury

>>76708434

>The worst part of this is that GarPax bought themselves more time with this highway robbery.

Assuming about a 5 win improvement in development from their existing team, adding Butler will get them in the first rd next year. Maybe somehow sneak in the 2nd and get destroyed by GS or SA, but they still ain't anything close to contenders.

I grew up with the legendary trio of Butler/Rose/Gibson

Now they're all gone

Lmao delusional, and I'm telling you that as a Bulls. 5 PGs who can't play, one of them out of position. Our supposed best 3-PT shooter was a soft euro who couldn't ACTUALLY shoot and pump-faked into turnovers most of the time, and we have a 36 year old DWade who couldn't defend a 10 year old and routinely needs to miss games.

The Bulls are literally the worst record in the league last season by a mile if there was no Jimmy. It's nothing close to a "solid roster".

>>76709100
Jerry is a known retard. He fucked over the white sox for years by refusing to rebuild, fire robin ventura, keeping Kenny Williams employed, and ended up wasting chris sale's time here. And that's just from this decade

Watch the wolves get the sixth seed next year

>>76709164

He was a rookie and clearly didn't have Rubio's or even Jone's mastery of the offense which annoyed Thibs. He also had standard rookie mistakes and growing pains that Thibs didn't really let him work through. He was still easily the best perimeter defender on the team and showed some flashes of what he could be on offense. It has a lot to do with Thibs because Dunn really needed experience and playing time

>Inefficient meme chucker cancer who anyone only even gives a shit about because he was fortunate to play on the We Believe Warriors. Complete garbage everywhere else and so useless Dallas outright got rid of him because he was hurting their offense.

this period im referring to is after the we believe time, when literally all those guys were gone except monta he was our best player

new ownership group comes in, trades monta, the then only watcheable aspect of the team unironically (remember KWAME BROWN?), for an injured center when we had traditionally never even had a center

that fits the template for "trading your best player to start a rebuild", which i responded to in the original post

and no curry was terrible before he recovered from his injuries, dude was barely on the court enough to even be mentionable

>>76709320
nice reading comprehension

also 3 pt % didn't matter in the NBA at that point, which is why monta compared himself to dwade

http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/GSW/2012.html

curry was literally not even relevant look at his games played

Whos going to fill his spot for points per game?
I hope it's Portis, Valentine, or Zipser desu.

>>76709320
Dude at the time of the trade Curry was decent tier but thought to be injury prone. Ellis was the best player on the team by far.

Curry at that time was like Zach LaVine tier in terms of potential.

>>76709378
he was never your best player. Steph was. More efficient, better playmaker and decisionmaker, better shooter. He just didn't get as much touches because Ellis is a ballhog.

Derp. What are the 2008-2010 Magic, that made it to the finals and were the only team that really ever challenged the Big 3 celtics in the East, Ray Allen being huge in Boston winning a title, fuck even in the 90's Olajuwon won a title being a dominant big surrounded by 3-4 legit 3-PT shooters.

>"HEY GUISE, LOOK HOW OLD SCHOOL OF A WARRIORS FAN, I'M GONNA PRETEND LIKE A COMPLETE TEAM CANCER I NEVER WATCHED WAS GREAT SO PEOPLE WON'T THINK I STARTED WATCHING IN 2015"

Monta was shit in GS without Baron Davis, J-Rich etc., he was shit in Dallas, and he's shit in Indiana. Everywhere he goes he actually hurts their offense because he has no basketball since and playmaking. Just an empty stat chucker who was a fan favorite because he played on the We Believe team.

I remember when I went to my first and only Warriors game on December 26, 2011. it was the Warriors vs. the Bulls.

Monta Ellis got the most cheers on the team more than Stephen Curry

Derrick Rose got the most cheers of the entire stadium

Half the arena was Bulls fans

Good times

>>76709411
-before steve kerr curry could barely keep under 10 turnovers a game
-steph didn't have the ankle strength to have good dribbling until after he recovered from his injuries
-you literally cant be a teams best player if you get pulled in the fourth quarter for not being trusted by your coach

>>76709446
i concede that point, mb

it certainly didn't matter as much as now though, almost a decade later basketball is almost unrecognizable, nobody would even think of making a guard who couldn't shoot 3s a starter now

Ellis' turnovers would be like a dude taking a charge when he went to the basket whereas curry would throw it right into the stands

Also curry was inconsistent more, he'd have a good game,then have like 7 turnovers at once, Ellis was consistent

>>76709638
Yes this was at oracle arena.

The most annoying thing about current "Dubs" fans is that they say "dude dubs fans have always been diehard stop saying we have bandwagoners"

yeah, they were always diehard, like how A's fans are diehard. a very small but passionate fanbase. i remember the days when you would go months without seeing anyone in the bay area wearing anything warriors on it, and would literally see more A's hats than warriors hats

now every 3rd-4th person wears warriors gear. and i saw literally the first person since the last victory parade wearing an old-style warriors jersey (ellis) on bart this year. three years of nonstop warriors stuff, and only two times i have seen a peice of old warriors gear

its fucking pathetic.

>>76709670

hate people talking shit about butler and george. These guys can ball and theyre stuck in no mans land.

But what makes me even more mad, is that no GM seems to acknowledge that a big man can chance everything. Im not saying demarcus is the 2nd comin of christ....but who can stop him? Why is the post a lost art? I'm 6'1 and when i play a pick up game everyone just shoots threes and i post up in the middle.....fuck steph for that

Bulls management is stupid, that's why. In 1 season they traded away Gibson, McDermott and Jimmy, for literally nothing. Yes Bulce fags are mad right now. Yet there is talk about them extending Niko Mirotic, who has been pure shit for the last 2 years.
Young players are seeing this shit and will avoid Chicago in free agency. This happened years ago when the Bulls bitched about having to pay Jordan.....yes they bitched about paying MJ!

>>76718413
kek remember when they tried to sell Cam Payne as a great prospect and then followed up a week later by sending him to the d league?

Not even excited for the draft next off-season after the Bulls tank this season and get a lottery pick. Whoever they draft will just be traded away for nothing within a few years.

Bulls fans are fucking retarded. You can wait 3 years and have Jimmy leave for nothing to start the rebuild, or you can get rid of him now and start the rebuild early while getting 3 extra young players out of it. By keeping Jimmy you're only delaying the inevitable.

>>76720472

>become absolute garbage with no future
In the NBA that's an oxymoron. If you're absolute garbage that means you get the best draft picks (unless you're beyond absolute garbage and gave away all your picks like the Nets.)

Being mediocre means you have no future. Being absolute garbage means you have at least some chance of a future.

ooooh well guess what the Bulls in "rebuild" mode did last night? they gave away a first round pick and let a 2nd round pick go away for nothing but money to line Reinsdorf's pocket. What a way to begin a rebuilding process.

>>76720838
thatd be a good idea
it'll keep the jew owners honest

>>76720838
I like it. The only thing I would ad is that exceptions could be made in the case of extreme injuries.

>>76720838
I dunno about that, it would just lead to teams fucking around to be right at whatever number of wins would keep them out of the penalty.

A fun option would be the idea of a loser's (aka non playoff qualifying teams) single elimination tournament. The winner gets first pick and so on. It would render useless the idea of building a shit cheap team to tank and give the fans something to cheer for. Of course it has the complication of teams on the 7th/8th seed bubble of "tanking" for the draft tournament instead of the playoffs. I guess at the end of the day you can't stop shady jew owners from ruining competition for the sake of a few extra dollars.
