Bulls are insignificant right now.

Isn't the bigger question this: If the Bulls are playing already to less than full houses (last few games I went to had several thousand no-shows), would signing ANY of these guys generate enough excitement to get people to go to games?

If not, then why bother spending the money?

I hate your perspective on everything.

To get better?

I'll take answer C, sign lesser names to max deals and raise ticket prices to pay for them.

Just responding to keep the trend... Why spend money? EVER?

I don't mind spending the max amount on getting a 14 year old to suck my red pubed cockandnuts.

Seriously?  Keep it in the other threads please.

Call me crazy, but I think a marginally better Jazz-esque team that gets to the 2nd round of the playoffs or even the conference finals might make Chucksdorf some extra cheddar.

What is it with you?  Not only are you wrong, but you and your jewlove of Reinsdorf and holding on to your money like a jew is really starting to jew on my last nerve. 

I'm wrong?  About what?  The no-shows?  You guys know my interest in the NBA is basically non-existent.  You guys are already "meh" over the scraps that will be left if LBJ stays put.  I even saw, "The Bulls are going to become the Jazz of the Eastern Conference. 50 wins and second-round losses every year."

I put it to you all: 1) Is that good enough to sustain interest in the team; and

2) If the answer to 1 is "No," then why spend?

I don't have the answer, and, since I haven't bought a Bulls ticket since Air Jordan's were only black and red, it's not going to matter to me.  I am curious about your opinions.

Well, the non-jeweylaced opinions.

I don't think that's crazy.  That's very possible.

I do think that lack of free agency success in 2010 followed by a lack playoff success in 2011 would be very, very bad for the Bulls for a lot of years to follow.

It's going to be kind of nice to start full-on hating Lebron. Sure I admire his basketball skills, but what kind of asshat refers to himself as King James and has a one-hour TV special to announce a goddamn free agency decision? I never liked you anyway, you big jerk!

I reserve the right to retract these statements if Lebron picks the Bulls.

All of this, especially the small font.

Reinsdorf doesn't have to spend to draw more people to the games.  People went to the games to watch Marcus Fizer and Eddie Robinson, I am sure they will continue to show up to watch Rose.  Interest in the team is not the problem.

It's official, wade and bosh to miami.

"Chris Bosh and Dywane Wade said on ESPN Wednesday that they've both agreed to play for the Heat next season.
This news broke earlier in the day, but now becomes a certainty. Both players said they won't change their minds, and will now wait, along with the rest of us, for LeBron's decision tomorrow night. Jul. 7 - 12:35 pm et"

Are you going to start watching the NBA when LeBron is playing for the Knicks?
