Bulls didn’t sign LeBron, but they’re building a team
On Thursday, I said the front office should be fired for not landing one of the big free agents: Chris Bosh, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade. I apologize to the Bulls and to readers for blogging with my heart on my shirt sleeve.
The Bulls didn’t get one of the three big named free agents and the three players signing to another eastern conference team like the Miami Heat was discouraging but I have been awaken by the same people for the discouragement.
Two more re-sign
Dirk Nowitzki is reportedly staying with the Dallas Mavericks. The deal they have worked out is worth $80 million for four years.
Also, Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics have come to an agreement on a four year deal worth $61 million.
Neither one of these deals is surprising. Both have players have played their entire careers with these teams and now will probably never leave.
Pierce and Nowitzki had another year on their contract but had opt out clauses. They both used it. By opting out and re-resigning they can install a no trade policy.
Coaches coming back and getting hired
The two head coaches of the teams in the NBA finals are going to return.
Phil Jackson has decided he wants to come back to the Los Angeles Lakers to attempt to win another championship. This would mean Jackson would have 12 rings and four three-peats. It is never happened in the NBA. I love Jackson and am glad he isn’t succumbing to his injuries.
Kerr dominates Paxson in poll
Last week when Steve Kerr resigned as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns,because he wasn’t going to get rehired, I pondered the idea of Kerr coming back to Chicago to replace John Paxson as the Bull’s Vice President of Basketball Operations.
I asked the question to you, who would be a better for the Bulls, Kerr or Paxson. Kerr dominated Paxson, getting 36 of the 52 votes. I wonder if Kerr would beat Gar Forman, like he did Paxson.
Why Lebron James is the Second Best Option for the Bulls
By the headline alone I’ve already made some people furious. ”Why is Lebron the second option?” ”Are you kidding me, he is the greatest player in the game right now.” First of, he is the second option because of three factors.
One, besides putting up video game numbers and winning two consecutive MVP awards, he hasn’t won when his team needed him too. The Cleveland Cavaliers have only been to the finals once. This post season, he choked against the Boston Celtics just like the rest of his team. If he is supposed to be the leader of the team, he has to get his game together too. I know what your saying, he led them the entire season. Well, the season didn’t end for the Cavaliers until Boston beat them in the playoffs, when James didn’t show up. How does Cleveland post the best record in the NBA for two seasons and then get upset in the playoffs? Lebron can’t handle the pressure at the brightest stage.
