Built Ford Tough Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Jonathan_FeigenBulls offered multiple picks for Lee. Not budging on Asik. Only 15 minutes left to blink. Forgive me if there is a Courtney Lee thread somewhere already. I quickly looked in both forums (Houston and Chicago) and didn't find anything. This isn't really anything surprising, as most people already knew this, but it should be interesting to see if the Bulls cave into the Rockets demand for Asik. Do they want Lee that bad? The ball is in their court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted February 24, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Chicago can get a better big in this year's draft with those picks. I don't get their obsession with Asik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Laughable that the Bulls think that Asik is asking for too much when they would be getting back a complete role player in Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Bulls didn't make any trades today. They really blew it if you ask me. Even if they didn't want to trade Asik for Lee, I don't understand why they wouldn't go after somebody like Anthony Parker, JR Smith or even Leandro Barbosa. With Boston blowing their chances of a championship, they could've really made some noise in the playoffs if they filled that gaping hole at SG. Bad decision on their part if you ask me.

Multiple people said that in the chat that I was getting all of my info from. It got shut down before I could post any link, though. Should've mentioned that probably.

reno Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I really like asik, rare to have a big man with his athleticism. Him and gibson are good depths for us. We should have taken our guns and went after mayo, maybe 3 first round picks would have done it. Sucks to see JJ gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm glad that we stuck with Courtney Lee, he's one of those role players a championship team SHOULD have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nope can't trade our 3rd string, 5 mpg center to fill a Grand Canyon sized hole at shooting guard. It's a joke, this dude won't see the court come playoff time, meanwhile Keif friggin Bogans will still be in the starting lineup.

It's a joke, this dude won't see the court come playoff time, meanwhile Keif friggin Bogans will still be in the starting lineup. FMLIt is disappointing, but hey at least bogans has improved a lil bit since January and has actually been shooting good from the 3's. We can still pick up a decent sg, maybe possibly through buyout? Still a slight possible chance we made a trade, bulls just needed to have the package sent by 3pm, doesn't mean they had to publicly announce it yet. But really, its hard to find players like asik. Hes young, big, and athletic. Its much easier to find a serviceable sg. I think by next year when thomas is gone, will be happy we kept asik over trading him, imo. but hey, im just being optimistic;p At least boston got weaker, so improves our chances to make a run.

The Regime Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Lee is more useful than Asik right now, but this trade still wouldn't take the Bulls over the hump and into the finals. The Bulls are smart for waiting it out, they'll have plenty of cap space and expirings to deal in the offseason. People need to stop acting like the Bulls have a one year championship window.

Gooner Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Forget Lee. Look at the deal Memphis tried to make with Indiana. We could have had Mayo for Gibson and couple of pics but we turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have got a feeling a good SG is going to get bought out, so I am not too worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah because good players are bought out all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 A relatively good SG. If not, I am happy with Ronnie Brewer as the starting SG, just don't play Bogans more than 10 minutes Thibodeau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
