congrats bulls fans a 2 yr 10 million dollar deal wiht your beloved scottie pippen nice pick up by the baby bulls
Pippen is aight. I hope he doesn't get in the way of Craw, Curry, and Co. We'd have to ship his ass off if he did.
He's going to be like a father or in his case grandfather figure for most of these baby Bulls, and after his contract is up I would expect him to retire.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AnaMayShun:</div><div class="quote_post">i'm very happy to be a Bulls fan once again.</div> once again? you abandoned them while they were rebuilding?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting slamduncan21:</div><div class="quote_post">once again? you abandoned them while they were rebuilding? </div> no, i never abandoned them, but i wasn't happy with management and the way the team was heading either. but i stood by them while all my friends made fun of me, but look at them now. Krause resigning was the best thing to happen to the Bulls in a long time. i mean, even while the Bulls were rebuilding, i could atleast make fun of the Knicks every year, so i was good.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting slamduncan21:</div><div class="quote_post">haha. fine. i never thought krause was as awful as everyone else seemed to</div> he wasn't that bad, he knows how to scout people and who to draft. but in terms of trying to win again, he went through like 3 rebuilding stages already. they would've been a real good team if they never would've traded B. Miller, Artest, Mercer away. and all they got from it was a ball hog in Rose.
naw, i think that trade was great for both teams. the Bulls couldn't have Miller around, because that'd be bad for the developement of Eddy and Tyson. Artest probably would have killed someone if he kept losing on the Bulls, and we coulda gone without Mercer. Rose isn't exactly a ball hog. He knows to feed the ball into the middle during the course of the game, but whenever they need something going in the 4th quarter, he can do it for them.

true, Rose can't make game winners. he can however, get something going with the offense when the rest of the Baby Bulls have no idea what to do. that was valuable to last year and this year, but we'll find less and less of a need for him
I think Jalen is a nice player- but two things to keep in mind when discussing him are 4 and 60,362,250.....When you consider that Paul Pierce will make about 8 million less than that over the same time period, and that Baron Davis will make about 12 million less- its easy to see that Chicago could do a lot better with 60 million than Jalen Rose. It really stinks that how much money a player makes needs to be considered when determining their value to a franchise, but it is a necessary evil.

the Bulls do have enough money to sign someone decent this season (more than what they're giving scottie) they just choose to save it all so they could resign tyson and eddy next season <div class="quote_poster">Quoting AnaMayShun:</div><div class="quote_post">the Bulls have 3 players who can score 30+/night, all we need is for them to play team defense. and the play-offs should be guaranteed</div> haha, that's what i've been saying all summer
