You're just angry that you're losing, i knew u guys would lose out too, but remember that it was ur GM Paxson that pushed the trade, not Grunwald. Not only that, most of u guys hated on Jalen too, saying "yea, he has inconsistent shot and he sucks, so hes buried on the bench and he was a cancer for the team." Look at him now, u still think he's a cancer?
this isnt as bad as trading brand(double double), artest(all around player, excellent defender) and yes, even brad miller(all-star last yr i think)...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting typan:</div><div class="quote_post">I have been to the Bulls forum. To laugh at you Bulls fan.</div> And we laugh at your lack of intelligence.

We weren't winning with him. Krause was worried about maxing out a player who couldn't help his team win. Second, Brand wanted out. He told Krause to trade him. Krause obliged. There is no point in keeping an unwanted player in your organization, it never pays off. Miller was an All Star last year. Congrats. But he wasn't with us. Second, and more importantly, we needed to trade Miller to make room for Curry. A Curry/Miller frontcourt would not have worked. This trade was made to free up PT for Curry as well as bec. Chicago was going to lose him in FA the following season. Artest is doing great now. But he was erratic in Chicago. He was too much of a loose cannon. Not to mention he wasn't nearly as good. His offense was on and off. The reason we went after Rose was to acquire someone who could take the big shots, and be the first option on offense.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ObieCent:</div><div class="quote_post">How many championships do the Raps have? How many times have you MADE IT to the championships?</div> ok in defense of this, u do realize the raptors came into the league in 1995, right?
I hate Antonio Davis for making JYD go. Its sad that he wheres Toronto Raptors shorts under his bulls shorts, I wish we could have him back. Thanks Paxson and GG for the trade, at least we got better. And thank you saad for telling him that Toronto has just been in the NBA for 8 years. Has anyone else noticed Jamaal Crawford has been playing better scince Jalen left and Toronto has been playing better scince Jalen joined?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ObieCent:</div><div class="quote_post">How many championships do the Raps have? How many times have you MADE IT to the championships?</div> raptors came in 1995...bulls came in 1966 and won first finals in 90-91...
crawford has been playing great, lots of points and good fg %, AD and JYD have been playing well too, but just cant finish off close games...bad defense and turnovers...donyell marshall has been playing the best, i didnt want him to be traded, he was playing well in chicago, but now even better in toronto.
ok for 1 thing saad, quit double posting <div class="quote_poster">Quoting saad:</div><div class="quote_post">ok in defense of this, u do realize the raptors came into the league in 1995, right?</div> Yes they came to the league in 95, but raptor fans brag about their team so damn much and they havent done (bleep) in the L
Exactly. Raptor fans act like they have already won the championship already, when really, they won 5 games in a row only. Bulls went on a winning streak when Jalen came to Chicago, but it was killed by Jalens selfish play and unwillingness to give the ball up. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Not only that, most of u guys hated on Jalen too, saying "yea, he has inconsistent shot and he sucks, so hes buried on the bench and he was a cancer for the team." </div> He was a cancer for the BULLS. That doesnt mean he isnt going to be for the Raptors. And considering he is shooting 35%, I think that would be pretty inconsistant. Raptors fans are a shame.

Sounds to me like you simply dont know what it means to be passionate about your home team. and if your bball knowledge is as narrow as your knowledge in hip hop, you clearly need your head checked about both.
