bubba chuck did it in a season.He put up 31 ppg and 8 apg so does that mean he's a great pg too? Go Sit yo dumb ass down

Steve nash averaged 11 assists on a team where Martin GORTAT was the best scorer

And didn't they miss the playoffs back to back yrs with Gortat as the best scorer?


Not only are you a troll. Not only are you a hater. But you're dumb too.

Reading Reggie Rose's comments reminded me of a story from this past summer, when the Bulls were the only team in the NBA that couldn't come to terms with their first round pick (Marquis Teague, No. 30), because they refused to pay an extra 20 percent of salary that's customary for just about every other draft pick in the league. Mark Deeks parsed the particulars at Sham Sports this past summer. Teague eventually signed without the extra money, but it was a small and perfect example of everything that makes the Bulls management hard to defend. They were playing hardball with an NBA rookie over about $800,000, money that every team but the Spurs concedes up front to anyone.

And the Bulls are NOT the small market Spurs. According to Forbes, the Bulls have been the most profitable franchise in the NBA over the past five years (averaging $55 million per year), and a team that Jerry Reinsdorf bought for $16 million is now worth around $800 million.

Even with all those profits adding up year after year, the Bulls have never actually paid the luxury tax. This year will be the first time in history that happens, but only after the Bulls tried and failed to deal Richard Hamilton at the trade deadline. They're also on track to pay it again next year (with harsher penalties for exceeding the threshold in consecutive years), but God only knows what kind of moves they'll cook up to avoid it.

For now, we know what the Bulls haven't done:

They refused to match Omer Asik's contract this summer, giving Houston one of the best young rebounders in the league and losing a valuable weapon off the bench. Or, you know, a trade piece.

They didn't sign O.J. Mayo, who's been fantastic for the Mavericks all year.

They haven't used the trade exception they got when they gave away Kyle Korver.

They declined to pick up C.J. Watson's $3.2 million option, and instead gave Kirk Hinrich an $8 million deal for the next two years.

They didn't reward Tom Thibodeau with a new contract until this fall, leading to headlines like, "Tom Thibodeau, weirdly, can't get a contract extension."

They could amnesty Carlos Boozer and his massive deal, but that would only take them a few million under the luxury tax threshold, and then they'd have to spend money to replace him while also paying his salary. Hence, Boozer hasn't been amnestied.

They haven't made a single move to bring the team closer to a title, even though they have assets that would attract plenty of suitors (Joakim Noah, Luol Deng).

All of those points might make sense on their own, but the bigger picture is pretty damning when you put 'em all together. The most profitable team in the NBA won't spend money to add weapons in the middle of their superstar's prime. (Unless it's on Kirk Hinrich).
