I’m not down with this move. T-Mac with the big ego, always wants the ball, and most importantly, not consistently healthy. I don’t know if it’s worth taking a chance on him. Bulls made some good moves this offeason (Boozer, Korver, Brewer) so I don’t know if this will be a good fit.
Plus his last name doesn’t end in -er like the other three guys haha.

With T-Mac though, I almost wonder if it’s a risk worth taking. None of the Bulls guys are really crunch-time guys. Rose can score, but he’s got a little bit of Rondo in him where he disappears in the half-court offense late in games sometimes. Noah’s a garbage man, and Korver’s a complementary piece. If you are running crunch-time plays for Carlos Boozer as the primary option, that’s a little scary. I’ve never been a McGrady fan, but in terms of pure offensive talent, he’s one of the best of this generation. When he’s healthy and motivated, nobody can really guard him. Of course, there’s about a 10% chance he will be healthy and motivated come the playoffs… but still.
What they should do is sign him, and tell him to sit out the first half of the season. Bring him in with about 30 games to go, let him play his way into shape, and then have him for the playoffs. You know if he’s on the team the whole year, he’ll become a problem, so just bring him in for the end and hope he can help win some playoff games before the inevitable self-destruction.

You’re asking a guy with a history of attitude problems who has an almost uncomparable ego, a hobo’s work ethic, a bad body and who’s never been out of the first round to be their playoff “savior”? Think the Bulls should pass. Rose can get to the rim at will, and apparently he’s been working on his jumper like no other. I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t think his game would translate well due to a handful of issues, bu this kid’s legit. He’ll be a top 3 pg in the league for the next 10 years barring injury.

It’s the John Calipari Effect, he can’t win anything but he produces good NBA players. The Effect is one of the reasons I believe that John Wall and DeStupid will succeed in the NBA.
And by succeed I mean become sensational.

Korver can score late.
I just can’t freaking stand this guy. His ego is out of control.
You know, when people are criticizing you for being too infatuated with yourself, one of the best ways to alleviate those concerns is to videotape a bunch of fans chanting your name. Common sense, really. I like to think that when LeBron gets sad, he’ll just pop in that tape and watch for hours and hours until he’s his usual gregarious self. Then, I imagine, he’d put on sunglasses and a striped T-shirt and just wait around for Gimme Some Sugar to give him a cake (in the shape of a King’s crown), because that seems to be its modus operandi.
He is such a douche bag.

You are probably right, but, to me, it depends on the money. 3 years @ 10M/per. No thanks. 1 year @ 6M/per? I would take a flyer on him.

Unless there are new developments that I don’t know of, I think he’s getting much less than 10 mill, or 6 mill.
Apparently he’s only worked out for the team and they are considering signing him to a non-guaranteed deal. So if he fucks shit up, he can go and his career will definitely be over at that point.
Not to mention he’s apparently always thought highly of playing for the Bulls. That combined with the fact that if the desperation is there even the biggest ego can be set aside, makes me think the worst T-Mac can do is be a non-factor.
He’s gonna be their 13th man. He knows by now that they have low expectations for him.
I think I just lost a LOT of respect for Chris Bosh with this news:
[quote]When it came to a Monday radio interview, Bryan Colangelo “chose his words carefully,” but didn’t leave many bullets left in his pistol. Colangelo intoned that Bosh took a long time to return from injury even though he had been medically cleared and that he started thinking ahead to his future at the expense of the Raptors. "Despite limited swelling and any excessive damage on an MRI, he felt like he needed to sit for six more games … I’m not even questioning Chris’ injury.
I’m telling you he was cleared to play subject to tolerance on his part, and the tolerance just apparently wasn’t there and he chose not to play," Colangelo said. … Colangelo went on to elaborate: “Whether he was mentally checked out or just wasn’t quite into it down the stretch, he wasn’t the same guy. I think everybody saw that, but no one wanted to acknowledge it.”[/quote]

Would you just fucking stop defending this guy already. His EGO is out of control. How are you going to even argue this? It’s my personal opinion and my personal opinion is that he’s a major douche bag with an ego problem.

I mean thats a pretty subjective thing. If he didnt feel 100% and didnt want to risk injury by playing when he didnt feel like he could go then why not sit. Its not like the NFL where you only have 16 games. They’ve got 82 games and if he has to sit out 6 more games to get back to 100% and not risk hurting himself more then I’m ok with that.

You sound like a chick though, you don’t know him.
Dude, the level of your stupidness knows no bounds. It doesn’t take a fucking genius to figure out the guy has a big inflated ego. Are you really this dense? I have to keep asking this question of you. You really come off as one of the stupidest people I’ve seen post on this site. Idiotic really.
You actually seem socially retarded to me. Say things that are kinda “off” from the conversation at hand. Have you been diagnosed with any mental issues? You should get yourself checked out.
We’ll be talking about offseason moves and here comes Randman with another Lebron is a douche or MJ on Lebron or Kobe is working his ass off while Lebron is sitting on his ass thread. You my friend (not really) are the one who is dense the one that brings up off topic shit. You remind me of a girl who sits and gossips about celebs “OMG Lebron is stupid did you see what he just did.” I don’t know maybe that’s cool where your from but where I’m from it makes you look like a big fat pussy BITCH!!!

I was simply responding to Drewdines since who has his head so far up Lebron’s ass he can’t see it.
And…
I just happen to report time to time when I see the “King” up his level of douchebaggery and enjoy watching Drew (aka sardines) come to his defense. It’s automatic every time. It’s kinda like a sport at this point.
