Bobby Portis actually has a Bday Party on Sat. at a spot downtown. Saw it on one of the event pages today. $50 ticket if you didn't do the freebie RSVP. Now thats just fucked up.

The real kicker is whether he has a great big cock.

NBA experts are cool with it

His trading partner for this one belongs in the conversation. And Magic looks like he's trying to put himself in contention by the start of next season as well.

Lets see the basketball opinion of Zach Lowe vs the basketball opinion of FavreFan. Tough call.

They could have let Jabari walk for nothing at the end of this year. Instead they’re committed to pay a 12 ppg player with mediocre defense and no rebounding or playmaking ability $25 million next year. I like Lowe but as I said earlier there is simply no counterargument to “it was a dumb trade by the Bulls”.

Let’s check in with how the Wizards fans are feeling:



Fuck outta my face Bobby boy.

Have you ever thought about writing for "The Athletic"?

I have. My industry seems to pay better and have better job security.

Also I probably wouldn’t be good enough. Tough racket.

Yeah I read Lowe's "endorsement" of the trade as being more about recognizing what a shitty situation the Bulls were in and what they could actually get for someone they've devalued in Parker than a suggestion that it's a good long-term idea to make such a trade.

Not like they can’t trade him next year.

This is like the time they traded Taj and Mirotic for some bum. The Bulls clearly were giving up the better players but they still added a pick anyway. I read stories of people around the league being shocked that OKC managed to squeeze a pick out of the deal. Didn't they receive one vote for GM of the year that year? Was likely a shot at Forman.

If Porter can regain his 43-44% 3 point shooting then he could be an interesting piece next year, especially if the Bulls can land a guard like Morant in the draft...and get a real head coach.

Desperate for a legit 3 man and they reached for him. Jabari is the best player in the trade. The Bulls are a messed up mismanaged organization.


The correct Porter would have been Michael Porter Jr. but Otto fills a need if nothing else. The Bulls have no plan. Fought the good fight but its a rap.

Not to mention a ding dong coach.

Not an obsession. I'm a basketball fan period. I don't get up in rah rah B.S. like dudes like you do.

Thats why you're usually wrong. You parrot the thoughts of whatever media guy you like and to be frank the only media player you seem to like is Lebron James. Way to go out on a limb on that one champ.

You front run. I don't. "G.S." "Popovich" same drivel. Everyone else simply stinks. One big waste of a conversation. In your world everyone is trash. After awhile its simply fodder.

Holy hell.

LeBron James is a media guy? I think popovich and James are good and that's somehow...bad?

Wut?

Typo. You missed the point. You're a frontrunner that only touts the best at whatever the respective position happens to be. Player. Coach. Organization. Its Dan Bernstein writ large. There is more to the NBA than the best team. more than the best coach. More than the best player.

You pop in with the same "no one else is shit" spiel every time. If you think you are cleverly trolling you aren't. If you think you are the message board equivalent of a shock jock you aren't. Its fodder.

Jabari Parker can play. saying he is the best of a three player trade in which the other two aren't good doesn't make it a weird obsession either. Its simply an honest assessment.

I don't think Parker is better than Porter Jr

Parker could be good in theory. Dude is just getting in shape halfway through the year! And I’m being generous. He has no interest in playing winning basketball.

It may seem that I only talk about the best teams/players because, as I told you, I don't give a shit about the Parkers and the other scrubs of the world. The Bulls are like 11-40 or something - I'm not watching that shit on a regular basis. You care about scrubs, you care about bad teams. That's cool if that's your thing. But don't get it twisted. This gives you no advantage over anyone when it comes to real talk. You got your ass handed to you by me and a couple other peeps on a few occasions. The "SG being the most glamorous position of the '90s" and Thibs performance as Bulls HC are two examples. So yeah you should get credit for knowing a lot about the day to day details of all these teams and all these players and all these scrubs. That's all fine. But don't think for a minute that you've got something over everyone here, bruh.

If there is "no chance" then it only means that there is a more than likely chance that he is better than Porter.

Why are you concerned about it? You don't care remember?

The person who is actually acting superior is you. You just can't get enough of telling the world how you are above it all. You don't care about the Bulls yet you are constantly in threads complaining about the team, players, and organization.

Now you complain about people that like certain players.

As far as people getting their ass handed i have embarrassed you so much it isn't even funny anymore and i started resorting to trying to place wagers on it only as a way of slowing down repetitive, trolling arguments where guys claim victory after getting their ass handed to them as you say.

Notice you never took any of them either. I'm never going to apologize for being a sports fan. For some reason that bothers you. To that i say oh well deal with it.

Listening to Stacey King say that Jabari Parker has "All Star" potential. Just said it but he ain't shit according to some guy that admittingly doesn't watch the team.


This is what happens when you play for the adulation and "acceptance" of your peeps as opposed to simply watching the game.
