He said the Bulls sells themselves......obviously they dont:patrice:


Michael Jordan is the GOAT player ever, brought 6 rings to Chicago, and they have never even been to a NBA Finals game without him on the roster. LA has been in the NBA Finals at least 1x in every decade, excluding the 90s. There's a difference.


Lakers = a franchise known for many HOFers and many Championships....Bulls = a franchise known for Michael Jordan and his legacy:mjpls:


nikkas aint going to Chicago breh, the proof is in the pudding. Nobody WANTS to be compared to Jordan on their OWN team....damn sure aint trying to live up to the legacy Jordan left behind in Chicago.


Again, if a team like the Bulls has Carlos Boozer as the biggest FA they've ever signed since 1984, they obviously do not sell themselves

I shouldnt be caping for LWO but you all actually went in the 90s too. :sadcam: Its a struggle for us Bulls. :to:

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Apparently so, you see how many big time players LA has acquired over their franchise history vs Chicago?:mjpls:


Chicago is NOT the problem.....Jordan's legacy is the problem. Nobody wants to go there and have to deal with the pressure of playing up to his standards:manny:


The ONLY player I can think of who wanted to desperately go to Chicago, if they didnt include in the trade Luol Deng, was Kobe Bean Bryant.....and we know he has the heart of a Champion:yeshrug:

That's bullshyt. 2010 was the only time a big name superstar had the chance to go play in Chicago. These moments have been rare. Every other big name player was never on the level of Jordan to begin with. I'm talking about top 5 talent. Name the last top 5 player that became a free agent and Chicago had the cap space and decent talent and that player didn't go there?

You can't :mjpls:

only on the coli does recruiting = ass kissing. Nobody should be above picking up the phone to gauge another players interest in the team and express you'd like to have them on the squad, that isnt ass kissing.

Exactly. What's wrong with Rose callin the nikka up and saying we have a great chance to win the East with you on the Squad. I think you should take a look at our team and see what we got to offer. Show the nikka the city and shyt.

Yall act like Rose out there showing up to Melo's front porch with a wife beater on and a bag of cheeseburgers....

He is right though... This isn't his job. There are people who get paid to do this. They went to school for it. Rose went to school to play basketball.

There isn't anything he could say that someone in the org couldn't. Melo knows Rose likes him and would be happy that he is there.

People in this thread are probably worried more about this than Carmelo is...

dikkrider: "nikka, you see Shaq last night!! We did it!"

me: :wtf: ...nikka you were shytting on me and the Lakers as a Bulls fan back in high school!!! :mindblown:

dikkrider: "Nah breh, I was a JORDAN fan"

You can't :mjpls:

Well, first off in your attempts to try and throw off the fact Im naming, you wanna talk only top 5 talent?:what: How often do one of the top 5 players in the NBA actually hit the FA market? Hardly:snoop:


Also, "big-time" FA doesnt only equal one of the top 5 players in the NBA breh. I consider a big-time FA an All-Star player

But to answer YOUR question as you asked it, the last top 5 player that became a FA and Chicago had the cap space and decent talent and that player didnt go there.......LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2010 offseason:mjpls:

:to: But nobody is allowing themselves to hit free agency to get to Chicago, like they do in L.A.

The problem with Rose saying this now is the perception of him has changed since 2010. He was known as a warrior then so this "buck the system" image was cool. Now the whole league probably looks at him as mentally frail, and a player that wont even attempt to play through any type of injury. So this whole I wont recruit anybody just comes off as :childplease: + :camby:

What''s better -

Bulls FO by themselves outlining their plans for the future and how Melo can help them
Bulls AND Rose outlining their plans for the future and how Melo can help them



That's not how these things go. You take these opportunities to maximize your chance in selling the concept of 'winning' to FAs. On the contrary, besides visiting Dallas and LA (where the leverage angle comes into play), he wants to be swayed - he wants a team to sell him the dream. He'll only leave NY if a team can convince him that it'll be beneficial to leave money on the table + moving his family, in favor of competing for a championship.


bulls by themselves. Imagine being melo and hearing this dumbass rose talk.

he probably like this the motherfukker thats gonna be running plays through? :dahell:
