I'm down for salary cap or just a regular one. I am pretty sure the last one was salary cap

Bahahaha Wallace just put it in his own basket...with no Bulls player within 20 feet of him.

What an idiot.

iowatreat54 · 04-13-2010, 09:26 PM

Oh snap! Marisa Miller...Bulls fan. <3<3<3<3

If for no other reason, Toronto should tank so that they can cover how she's going to be at the playoff games for the Bulls.

Also, because watching Derrick Rose is like visual sex.

The closest Toronto can get to that is that watching Bosh play is like watching a real dinosaur.

Hmm watching Marissa Miller cheer in Bulls colors, or watch a dinosaur play basketball...that's tough.

What kinda dinosaur?

Nothing that cool. Just a Parasaurolophus.

iowatreat54 · 04-13-2010, 09:40 PM

Hmmm I'll take Miller then.

iowatreat54 · 04-13-2010, 09:54 PM

Career high 39 points to go with 7 assists and 5 rebounds in a must win game for Derrick Rose.

Mmmmmmmmmm

So sexy. This one was huge, now hopefully they can seal the deal tomorrow. And I'll be rooting for the Knickerbockers for the first time in awhile too. Making the playoffs is big this season to show FA's they're a legit destination to go to that the FA can take to the competing for championships level. Great game for Kirk as well.

I think both the Raps and Bulls have failed miserabely to impress Bosh down the stretch. I have no idea where he goes at this point

Draft King · 04-13-2010, 10:06 PM

So if the Raptors win tomorrow, who makes the playoffs??

Well, let's be honest.

Even if the Bulls don't have a great shot at landing Bosh, they still have a lot better shot than the Raptors. There's no way he's going back to Toronto, even for a sign and trade.

Depends on if the Bulls win.

Bulls win = Bulls.
Bulls lose, Raptors lose = Bulls.
Bulls lose, Raptors win = Raptors.

I dunno, technically he can get quite a bit more money through the Raptors, even if it is just for S+T.

Draft King · 04-13-2010, 10:09 PM

Charlotte needs to clutch out for me.

But really, is any team that has room (Miami, NY, NJ, Chicago, LAC) going to trade for Bosh and his $20+ million dollar contract? I mean, only like 2 of those teams could take that contract, and not only would be paying much more than they'd have to in signing him, but also losing a player/players/picks. That makes no sense for any teams.

The Raptors aren't really a legitimate threat to outright sign him, so teams don't have to worry about that. Based on that, a sign and trade would likely have to be agreed upon before signing, in which case, why would a team agree to paying Bosh more and giving up something for him, when he likely doesn't want to sign with Toronto anyway?

I mean, it would be one thing if it wasn't known that Bosh wanted out of Toronto. But everyone knows he doesn't want to be there. The Raptors really have no leverage against other teams. Sure, they can offer him more money, but that might hurt getting him traded, and he'd be stuck in Toronto again.

You really don't understand sign and trades. How much Bosh wants to come back to Toronto does not effect the S & T at all. It is the fact that the Raps can give Bosh a much better contract something that he will most definately want. Therefore he will make sure whatever team he goes to does a S & T with the Raps so that he gets that better deal.

So, while I don't think Bosh will go to the Bulls...at least I know Joakim Noah will be the raps starting C next year if it does.

I really do not see how they have a better shot. Both are crappy teams, except the Raps offer Bosh a chance to be the number one guy(something important to him) as well as the fact that he would be sticking with the team that drafted him(their is allure to playing your whole career on one team)

Well I think the Bulls with Bosh have a chance to be a very good team, better than the Raptors with Bosh. Given they're at the very least very close right now and the Bulls have a better record if Noah is healthy, I'd say that's a better chance to win. Plus Rose should still improve and the market is superior. And I wouldn't be so quick to say he isn't the #1 guy on the Bulls, at least for a few years. Rose is quite content to defer and really only takes more shots when necessary, I think playing with a young PG like D-Rose has to be appealing. Nice market in Chicago too.

If Bosh were to go to the Bulls you have to understand Noah would most likely not be on the team anymore.
