Trending in a very similar to Giannas, also bonus points for being stuck playing with Melo and the Knicks.
Yes and Jordan at one time was trending to be great but nobody would say he was Better than Magic in the 80s.
It's like nobody read that I said players I'd rather have then Jimmy, not players better than Jimmy...
But Porzingas? I mean the guy had a nice rookie year, fell a little back this year, but you would rather have him than a three time NBA all star who is a proven NBA player in his prime?Glad you aren't a GM.
Selling Jordan Bell's draft rights is the icing on the $hit cake that was the Bulls night.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
For the totality of the decade, maybe not, but by the end of the decade there were plenty arguing he was the best in the league. Led the league in scoring from 1986-87 until the end of the 1980s, won the MVP in 1988, the legendary Jordan Rules enacted by the Pistons to stop the best player on the planet...I know he didn't win his titles until the 1990s, but there was plenty of sentiment that he was the best player in the NBA before he won those titles and that it was just the rest of the Bulls roster holding him back.Not sure how old you were in the 1980s, but I'd guess anyone in their 40s or older can attest that even before Jordan was winning titles, he was regarded as at absolute worst one of the three best players in the NBA well before the 1980s were done.
I was negative 1Perhaps I could have chosen a better example but I think my point was still obvious
I don't think anyone here is arguing Jimmy is Jordan, but your point was that he's not top-20 and you only came up with 14 names, of which at least two (Porzingis & Fultz) simply isn't the case as of yet.Your own posts indicate that your obvious point was one even you don't agree with. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gotta pay for Luis Robert somehow....
I'm probably more pissed off today about this trade than I was yesterday. I know I mentioned it on here before, but the time to tank/trade Butler was last year. Everyone knew this year's draft was really good. If you make the trade last year, you don't sign Wade/Rondo, and you're already a year in "the process". Now you've lost a year, you unfathomably gave up an extra asset to trade with Butler, missed a year to use Butler's trade exception money to take on a bad contract and acquire other assets with it.I can't even get excited about the process because GarPax are leading the circus.
Butler is under contract for 2 years. The Bulls didn't even get an extra pick out of the deal, they just flipped picks to move up 7 spots. And they took on a high volume scorer who relies on athleticism coming off of an ACL tear and a guy who couldn't beat out someone the Timberwolves have been trying to dump for years now.Just because the Bulls won't be competitive with Jimmy doesn't mean you trade Jimmy for the only offer you can get that includes guys under the age of 26. There would've been a ton more value in hanging onto Jimmy and seeing who's looking to buy mid season or else you can get at least the same amount of value next offseason as you just got last night.This was a brutally bad trade, regardless of whether the Bulls are winning with or without Jimmy the next 2 years.
20 was an exaggeration but off the top of my head these are the players I would rather have than JFB, potential is taken into account.LebronKyrie Ehhh, changed my mind on KyrieStephKDADKATJohn WallWestbrookHardenLillardKawahiPaul GeorgeFultzPorzingisGiannas
I really want to know the how/why the 16th pick got put into this deal. If you're going to tank, why the hell aren't you hanging on to Jordan Bell?Ughhhhhhhh, I hate this team.
