[persianbruin]

LA Times says:

For the Bruins, it marked six first-round picks in the last four years, tops for any college program in the nation. Jordan Farmar, Aaron afflalo, Kevin love, Russell westbrook, Jrue Holiday and Darren Collison.

I dont know if I should feel happy and proud or feel very sad that now our roster looks like sh!t

They traded their pick to the twolves

[K. Nader]

I think Colangelo will try and get turkoglu in toronto as he is opting out of his orlando contract.

[persianbruin]

As long as the Lakers bring everyone back (and stay healthy), I could care less who gets and does what. Nobody will stand a chance

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

is ben gordon going to resign wit the bulls or wat?

[ommy48]

is ben gordon going to resign wit the bulls or wat?

I sure as hell hope so, but with cheap *** Jerry Reinsdorf (who whined about paying Michael Freaking Jordan, the player who made him richer than he had any right to be) I'm afraid that Gordon will be whisked away by a better offer from the much despised Detroit Pistons, who are keen to get Gordon this off-season...Bulls still have a shot though if they pony up a decent offer (8-10 Million per year for 5-6 years).....

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

^^^the man can be cheap but i think he is pretty smart, lets just cross our fingers and hope a gordon return.. BUT i'll be for sure shocked if bulls go after one the big name free agents that are going to be available

3 years so he's on contract 2 more years


i think its a battle between hamed and thabeet....hamed is def. a more solid player but thabeet understands english much better.....thats hamed's problem, if it wasn't the language barrier he'd be in there no problem. But i have faith in hamed, thabeet's stats are lame compared to hamed, haddadi played against some of the best and thabeet has been playing against some tiny college kids and barely scores like 10pts/game.......so he might be a bust, lets just hope

thabeet is gonna be like kwame...no matter how bad he is and no matter how many ppl know it, he is still gonna get minutes because of where he was taken. Everyone said this was a week draft but i think rubio, flynn, curry, jennings, lawson, and holiday will be very solid players and should make mostly immediate impacts their rookie seasons (maybe not rubio or holiday but everyone knows how good they are anyway) and memphis fans will be furious to see thabeet on the bench no matter how much better hamed is than him

[Ghormeh Sabzi]

^^^ i can't wait to see curry

[ommy48]

A sad and angry day for Bulls fans, as reinsdorf screws us over again, and refuses to pay their best player for the past 5 years: Ben Gordon....I didn't think that my hatred for that insufferable ***hole Reinsdorf could increase any more after 1998, but he just showed us all that he could care less about winning...bulls have just taken a giant step back for next year, and Rose will have enormous pressure to do everything next year. And Sabzi jan, Reinsdorf isn't as smart as you think, as you will see next year with the bulls struggling to even make the playoffs. Bulls fans across the country are royally pissed right now:

In other news, Artest is not resigning with Houston, who is instead going hard after Martin Gortat and Trevor Ariza.

Ariza looks to be leaving the Lakers (Odom will resign instead) for more money elsewhere and Hedo will sign shortly with the Blazers.

I don't beleive it. I think the laker will sign both Odom and Ariza and if it is one, they will go for Ariza not Odom.

They sold their 2 draft picks and are looking to ship my fellow bruin Farmar so they can have enough cash to sign my other fellow bruin Ariza.

Btw, congrats to MOJO23 for the 2 acquisitions!! Detroit just got much much better!!
