i went to the game in boston (booz’s second game) when the chants started for him lol… and even though the bulls were about to lose i still wanted him to make the final shot. ridiculous though them chanting for someone on the other team hahaha
Well I thought there was a little discorse there in OKC
about him not playing at all after the trade…but I’d imagine between his time with Thibs in Boston and his offense he’d be a welcome addition to the bench mob if CJ is out for a while
it seems like the current Bulls brass is high on hard-working gym rats who keep their heads down and work hard. I just don’t see Arenas fitting that mold, no matter how much talent, or how much he might have left in the tank. (I also don’t think he has that much left in the tank, by the way, given multiple knee injuries.)
But if you think about it, the Bulls brass & Thibs have gone to great lengths to create a very specific vibe in the locker room, where everyone buys in, no one does his own thing, everyone works his ass off. And a lot of these guys are kind of young, too.
I just can’t imagine them risking all of that by bringing in a guy who’s a little bit of a head case, a little bit of a lone wolf, and a guy who is used to being able to freelance offensively. Plus, he’s got this horrible blemish on his record in terms of “character”, which the Bulls value so highly.
Heck, I myself would warn Rose to stay the hell away from him if I could. There is literally nothing he could add that would be good or constructive, that would not be outweighed by the risk. I mean, if there is, I can’t think of it.
which is why people wanted him so badly. Kobe may be sore, but his injuries don’t make him shoot it 28 times if he’s not feeling right. He could have given it to Gasol or Bynum instead.
he could be trusted with pg duties….although i think jl3 can be trusted with 10 min a game, rip should be back as well.. Korver…put him on the trading block
the Bulls will not bring in anyone that has even the slightest possibility of having a personal agenda. Personally, I think they’ll ride with Lucas for a few games just to see if he’s capable. Unless he’s a complete disaster (or CJ’s injury is REALLY serious), that’ll probably be the guy.
Yeah, he was backup PG for one game, and I rarely blame a game on one player, but that game, was all his fault. CJ played his ass off, and from what I remember, Noah was like 20-15. and Deng was like 25-10. EVERYONE played their asses off, and Lucas screwed it up.
Hah, Scal is in for 2 seconds and he gets a blocking foul.

I agree with him
who runs the bench offense with no CJ? Brewer is good enough to be a starter.
Stacey_Is_King - January 1, 2012
If he's hurt
It may make sense to move Brewer into the starting 5 and let RIP run with the bench mob.
macjack09 - January 1, 2012
How so?
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
-_-
kmokeefe - January 1, 2012
I like CJ as backup PG
Last year’s Denver game proved he can run the team when necessary.
bullhockey - January 1, 2012
So, if Cj is gonna be out, the Bulls will probably sign another PG, right?
But, question is, is that PG going to play next to Lucas?
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
Nate Robinson
ftw
ThorCo - January 1, 2012
i like nate but is he going to play 3rd string?
How’s Thibs rotation going to be? I see him playing ronnie at PG
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
No way does Ronnie play at PG
no dribbling or creation…Robinson has played that sparkplug role his whole career
ThorCo - January 1, 2012
Okay, if the Bulls hasn't sign someone yet in time for their next game
and CJ is still out, He’ll give Cj’s minutes to Lucas? yikess..
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
Boykins

I'm thinking Arenas might not be a bad pickup at all.
He might be able to do some creating still.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
Pass
sue369 - January 1, 2012
don't see the Bulls leaning towards him even for vet's minimum
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
Then I'd go with Nate Robinson.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
i like him too
he is not a head case, right?
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
he kinda is
but I think its more of a small dog mentality rather than, “bring guns to a locker room” mentality
ThorCo - January 1, 2012
haha
When he was in OKC i didn’t hear any write ups about him complaining, so i think he’ll be alright attitude wise.
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
He was pretty silly in Boston...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc0Ql7UqIiw
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
Robinson is a gangster.
That may not be a bad thing. There is way too much risk in bring in Arenas for such a small role.
THEKILLERWHALE - January 1, 2012
I don't think Arenas tries to be an idiot...
I just don’t think he knows any better. Like Kanye. Not like that condones any of his actions though.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
oh yeah that one
he was pretty dumb!
BULLysh - January 1, 2012
Well I thought there was a little discorse there in OKC
about him not playing at all after the trade…but I’d imagine between his time with Thibs in Boston and his offense he’d be a welcome addition to the bench mob if CJ is out for a while
ThorCo - January 1, 2012
I'd rather get Nate Robinson
at least he’s used to a bench/small minute role. What do you do with Arenas when CJ comes back?

I like 3J more than most around here, but I think he can be classified as a chucker, at times.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
Plus,
it seems like the current Bulls brass is high on hard-working gym rats who keep their heads down and work hard. I just don’t see Arenas fitting that mold, no matter how much talent, or how much he might have left in the tank. (I also don’t think he has that much left in the tank, by the way, given multiple knee injuries.)
bullhockey - January 1, 2012
i get you and i agree they wont sign him
i just think the “poisonous locker room” thing is a cop out a lot of times. Fits Cousins tho probly lol
paddyfairview - January 1, 2012
Yeah definitely fits Cousins more so
But if you think about it, the Bulls brass & Thibs have gone to great lengths to create a very specific vibe in the locker room, where everyone buys in, no one does his own thing, everyone works his ass off. And a lot of these guys are kind of young, too.
I just can’t imagine them risking all of that by bringing in a guy who’s a little bit of a head case, a little bit of a lone wolf, and a guy who is used to being able to freelance offensively. Plus, he’s got this horrible blemish on his record in terms of “character”, which the Bulls value so highly.
Heck, I myself would warn Rose to stay the hell away from him if I could. There is literally nothing he could add that would be good or constructive, that would not be outweighed by the risk. I mean, if there is, I can’t think of it.

Maybe his injury(ies) are finally catching up with him?
bullhockey - January 1, 2012
Afflalo is damn good on defense
which is why people wanted him so badly. Kobe may be sore, but his injuries don’t make him shoot it 28 times if he’s not feeling right. He could have given it to Gasol or Bynum instead.
runningman - January 1, 2012
Wow, I had no idea.
That sounds pretty impressive—will get around to looking at his defensive stats eventually, I think.
That does make sense, tho, since a lot of ppl on here, and some pundits as well, seemed to think he was the best fit for the Bulls this off-season.

Well, Brooks aint much different.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
Yeah, but mostly
the Bulls will not bring in anyone that has even the slightest possibility of having a personal agenda. Personally, I think they’ll ride with Lucas for a few games just to see if he’s capable. Unless he’s a complete disaster (or CJ’s injury is REALLY serious), that’ll probably be the guy.
Juiceboxjerry - January 1, 2012
...
Yeah, he was backup PG for one game, and I rarely blame a game on one player, but that game, was all his fault. CJ played his ass off, and from what I remember, Noah was like 20-15. and Deng was like 25-10. EVERYONE played their asses off, and Lucas screwed it up.
wrigleyrocker12 - January 1, 2012
They'll do a 'Caleb Haney', eh?
bullhockey - January 1, 2012
I just hope John Lucas III doesn't also do a 'Caleb Haney'...
bullhockey - January 1, 2012
a "Caleb Haney" would be Rose going down, and the Bulls starting Lucas for half the season
and as he continued to lose them games, they would deny that he sucked
