Which signing was better than Gasol? I don't count James.
Paxson was roundly criticized here for signing Gasol. A simple bumping of that thread would bare that out.

The Bulls don't have the cap room to acquire Aldridge. Their problem is that Derrick Rose has been injured for over 3 seasons now. I'm wondering how his injuries are Paxson's fault.

LaMarcus Aldridge is 30 yrs old now and his teams have not fared any better playoff wise than Carmelo Anthony's yet he is a guy the Bulls should acquire? He also has benefitted from having better talent as teammates.

Hoiberg may turnout to be the Bulls most significant move as Kerr turned out to be Golden State's most significant move last yr. I'm not saying that he will have the same success but I believe he is an improvement over Thibs.

Why wouldn't James count? He was a free agent that changed teams.




James was only going to sign with two teams. How is that Paxson's fault that the Bulls were not in the "running"?



Gasol did better than many expected, I doubt many would dispute that. Yet his numbers on the offensive end gloss over the liability he always creates on defense.

Gasol signed for about 7mil a yr. and led the NBA in double-doubles. Avg. About 2 blocks per game. The MVP of the league is a worse defender than Gasol and it didn't hurt GS.

/quote]Neither do the Heat yet they're supposedly in contention. As I said, difference between a front office willing to be pro-active and one that's happy standing pat and believing in holding onto their assets.

If Gasol is the Bulls second choice, then what choice are the Heat for Aldridge? A saving face show of interest I guess is all it takes to show the fans you are going for it.

BTW, why are Rose's injuries a legitimate excuse for Paxson but not Thibs? It seems to me they're an excuse for the performance of both or neither.

I grant Thibs an excuse for the previous yrs but not this one. You're criticizing Blatt and suggesting that he failed yet he got to the finals and defeated the great Thibs with a depleted roster.




The Blazers have been perpetually plagued by injuries over his entire tenure there. Evaluating individual talent on the basis of team wins and losses alone is almost as dumb in the NBA as it is in the NFL.


Actually it's not and it's even dumber to base the success of a team on the greatness of one player. Happens here all the time and if I search hard enough I'm sure you've done it a few times.

If individual talent doesn't matter then why advocate for the acquisition of Aldridge anyway? He may not improve the team according to your logic.



Or perhaps he'll be more akin to other recent coaches hired with no NBA coaching experience, such as Derek Fisher and David Blatt.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

David West wants to go to either SA or Wash

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

I guess he has enough money...signs with SA for $1.5m and leaves $11m on the table with Indiana?

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

That's not really fair, Portland plays in the west..how would the Bulls have done if they played in Portland's place? Aldridge has done his job.. Portland would have won the East the last 3 years .

I agree..reacquiring Lamarcus would open up old wounds on that retard Paxsons sensitive epidermis.

I have no idea why anyone would do that.

Reports that the clippers are meeting with deandre jordan to talk him into staying with them. I guess he hasn't officially signed anything with mavs

Clippers believe DJ is returning to LA but I'm told they are staying at his house until he can sign at midnight.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Josh Smith to the Clippers. Minimum Deal. Yikes.

There was a max offer out there but he wanted to win
