Chicago Bulls bring back Jannero Pargo

[Alex]

2010 free agents super stars media babble is a pipe dream and a ploy to keep selling Bull's tickets.

Pargo like the weakling No-Shot Noah is less than half a player along with the clock eating circle dribbling Hinrich. The weak and fragile Deng should stay on the bench where he won't get hurt.

The Celts out scored the Bulls 46-18 in the paint, put 15 pounds on Joakim
(French for weak and winded) and he still is the Florida fairy.

Using the rookie forwards, Miller along with Salmon and Tyrus the front line may be "OK"

Getting good big fast shooting guard is a must, they could trade Hinrich, Deng and Noah but who needs three over paid role players. The NBA has caught up to these three slugs.

Hey Nada

It is great that you meds are kicking in and that you are rational at the moment.

The Bulls are hoping, wishing praying that they will be mediocre.
They are just like Cub fans!

Hinrch, Deng and Noah are pathetic and
belong on the bench.

No NBA team will trade for these over paid slugs!

Imagine what Derrick Rose must be thinking when looking over this current roster.

[Ponziman]

And we thought is was going to get much better after Krause left! Yes, we have made the playoffs a couple of times but I'm not going to hold my breath for the 2010 free agent class. We will "F" it up somehow. Lebron and Wade are not coming here. Bosh and Amare maybe. Plus the NBA released the projected cap for next year and it doesn't look like it's going up but down. And you have to start thinking about signing Rose to an extention the year after next.

Man, did Luol and his agent take us for a ride or what! It's hard to belive that we are near the max of the salary cap with this roster. The two main reasons are Heinrich and Deng eating up all the space. At least Kirk shows up to play! The Pargo signing doesn't bother me, but what does is we traded LaMarcus Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas. Do you really think Toronto wants Ty Thomas for Bosh? They can get a better offer out there even if it's for only cap space and expiring contracts. Thomas has improved, but I'm sick of drafting of projects. No consistancy. It just doesn't make sense kind of like the Elton Brand for Tyson Chandler. Thank God (or David Stern) that Derrick Rose fell in our laps!

Another classic example of what a stupid post looks like. Pargo instead of Rasheed. Sad part is you are serious.

Do the Bulls know that they LOST in the 1st round of the playoffs? This roster is in the lower 10% of the NBA.

this roster will have the balance and quality to make the 4 seed and knockout cleveland or boston in the 2nd round.
dwade / amare / bosh will be a realistic scenario for us in 2010. hopefully we can get them straight up and not have to do a sign and trade

Balance, quality and Aladdin's lamp will fufill this scenario.

[Stormin Normin]

No top free agent will want to go a team without a top-level coach and only 1 above average player. Have fun sitting through a sub .500 season, no playoffs and the promise of the Great Free Agent Rush of 2010. Remember last time?
Benny the Bull and the Luvabulls are still at O'Hare waiting for Tracy McGrady
Since we brought back Pargo (when's the parade?) is Ron Mercer next? Can't wait..........

Just realize: Lakers add Artest
Celtics add Wallace
Bulls add 2 draft stiffs and Pargo
--can't be any easier to understand..
--please do not tell me about paying the luxury tax as an issue to you..teams that sell out nightly can afford to pay this when needed--we lost out on Gasol with the same sorry excuse..fans are starting to sound like Kenny Williams

Reportedly, Tim Thomas is going again as part of a roundabout Shawn Marion trade. The Bulls are a "facilitator", but get the benefit of being able to trade for him again! Will Gar Pax send Hinrich and Deng or Noah in a trade package for Tim to get him back?

[Rod from Tennessee]

How do teams like the Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, and others have team's full of superstar, big name players, while the Bulls max out their salary cap on average at best type players? Rose's contract is still on the rookie scale, so he certainly doesn't command much of the overall.

Why would Luol Deng need another agent? I could see a financial planner perhaps, for all that money the Bulls felt he deserved; however, generally 2nd stringers don't get asked to do alot of outside work, and let's face it, Deng has 2nd string talent, tops.

Throw in Rose, u have a deal.

[Mgray]

They should bring back Reggie Theus, Artist Gilmore, Mickey Johnson, Horance Grant and Wilber Holland. That team would beat the roster they have right now.

Stick to the Sox/Bulls comments bro. What you know about football could fit in a spent condom.

I agree, except the #4 seed may not happen, but it could if Deng comes back strong. If so, then Bulls likely get a strong FA in 2010.
Pargo was decent for the Bulls before and Rose will make a lot of players better. Also, one of these draft picks will be a hit, maybe both will be solid. Tyrus and Noah should get better. Miller and Salmons are solid, so is Captain Kirk.

Problem is, the Bulls spent $15 mil/yr for Ben Wallace, and the salary is still hanging around! Via trades for Hughes and Gooden, then for Miller and Salmons and Tim T.
Of course, they also overpaid for Deng, and they dumped Chandler for little.
Also, Bulls offered more for Garnett and Gasol then they went for later. So, they did try.

Common on! Lower 10% is in the bottom 3! Also, Bulls got better late in the season. And they should have beat Boston if the refs had not helped out the Celtics with horrible decisions on flagrant fouls. I agreed that the coaching needs to improve, big time. But that's true for the Magic too.

Makes sense. Celtics are close, Bulls aren't! Yet!

It is set. They will use the cap as an excuse NOT 2 make any moves.

It is funny how Randolph has been traded about 4 times in the last 4 years and he makes more $$ than Hinrich nad Deng combined. Some GM's get results......and some don't.
