Quote: The Chicago Bulls are rumored to be interested in Jimmer Fredette once he receives a buyout from the Kings. The Kings' rumored buyout of Fredette has been happening at glacial pace, but he needs to be signed by Saturday in order to be eligible for the playoffs so Thursday could be the day the two sides part ways. He could provide a boost in 3-pointers as a member of the Bulls since Chicago is in desperate need of an outside shooter. Already got my Jimmer jersey on pre-order. |

No. They have like 5 guys like him. I'm sure Thibs will make him an all star and then he'll walk next summer. |

I thought Snell was growing as a player and was gaining confidence. Can Jimmer get his own shot? They need more of that. |

I think he can, at least as much as anyone available or currently on the team except Augustin. I really don't like Snell. He tries hard and seems to be coachable, I just don't think he will ever be competent enough offensively. I don't think he's the next Jimmy Butler or anything(struggled as a rookie than really came on) |

Years of watching Mark Madsen has me ready for this job. I'd certainly be more equipped than Sengalia to handle it. Just gotta work on my awkward dance/rap combos for the championship parade. |

 Cabe Carimi Roy Williams Rip Hamilton Jimmer Fredette would fill out a Mt Rushmore of shit-signings by these 2 franchises in recent years. Fredette belongs in Europe. Anything more than a 10 day and the Bulls will regret it. They'll regret the 10 day too, but not as much as if they give Fredette a real deal. The way you might regret the weekend in vegas that you caught chlamydia from that dancer chick but thank god the line outside the Little White Wedding chapel was too long and she preferred getting another eight-ball and going back to the hotel. |

A half a season on a vet minimum buyout contract wouldn't even make the discussion of worst signings. There's literally no downside to it. If he sucks, cut him, and you're out less than a million and no tax dollars. Terrible thought. |

Team's playing well. Why bring in a guy like Fredette who has no business anywhere near an NBA roster? Heck, there are literally thousands of guys out there that they could also bring in on a min contract who are every bit as unqualified to take up space on an NBA roster as Fredette...but you don't, because you're an NBA team and not FC Barcelona. Anyone who thinks Fredette has any business on an NBA roster:

I could possibly be wrong, but I believe the Bulls have to sign somebody to their roster. I think league rules say they need 13 guys signed by a certain date of the season, and right now, they only have 12. |

This will probably not come as a shock but I am more than ready for the Jimmer Fredette era to get underway in the West Loop ASAP. |

Let’s examine the behavior of the two dudes on the right. Why is the reaction of both to grab the chick in front of them? Does she have loose morals? Were they double-teaming her the night before after the free happy hour at the Residence Inn? sinicalypse wrote: |

The Bulls will probably only sign 1 guy as required. They are trying to stay under the luxury tax. If Taj Gibson wins the defensive first team he has a bonus that may put them into the tax. |

I like Jimmer. But the thing that is questionable to me is how much would he play with Augustin and Hinrich taking a lot of minutes at the point? |
