2014-2015: Apex's Mark Price Shirsey Returns!

[InternetApex]

It's going to be an amazing summer for Bulls fans - lots of rumors about getting Lebron, Love and/or Carmelo, only to be used as leverage and end up with Ben Gordon.

*Opts out of Heat fandom*

Fixed.

Well that's why I had my agent put that option year in there. It's a sound business move. Only fans of say, Rudy Geigh, opt into a deal like that.

But in all semi-sincerity, what are you going to do if/when LeBron goes elsewhere?

What if he comes here? We all hate Lebron... Apex hates the Bulls.... do we band together or just watch hockey?

I don't hate Lebron

I don't really hate Lebron either, but that doesn't fit with the story.

LeBron here would be like Rodman here. Fine. Help them win. Great. But you'll never really be one of "us."

You're probably joking, but I want to believe you are serious. What a post.

What's "us?" Awful sports fan? Desipiot? Jewish Banker? I agree that Lebron is unlikely to be any of those things, but would like some clarity.

I LOL'd quite loudly.

Chuck's on a roll today with the Awful Internet Takes. He must have had an extra biscuit for breakfast.

Good article today on Grantland (Pen loves Bill Simmons meme alert) going back over the last ~20 drafts and looking at who should have gone where. Basically shows how big a crapshoot the draft is.

Not surprisingly, it's a long read, but shows the Bulls have done pretty well lately (Gibson, Butler, Noah, Rose, Asik)

Well, I made it this far:

Any time you can bake me a draft soufflé that's crammed with multiple tremendous-upside-potential guys, multiple red-flag guys, multiple panic-stricken teams, multiple workout-fueled lottery climbers and multiple teams desperately trying to trade up or down, I'm going to devour that thing.

Good get for the Bulls in McDermott. DadPex saw a lot of him in college vs. Butler and kept ranting and raving about the guy. So there you go.

So Garpax's precious FLEXIBILITY is going to net the Bulls...34 year old Pau Gasol...if they're lucky? Awesome.

This front office isn't necessarily bad, they're just so ... lame.

Gasol is a marginally better Boozer, offensively. Just as bad defensively. Less annoying (much more lovable) and doesn't need spray paint for his hair.

He's a guy I wouldn't mind rooting for but it does zero for me making the Bulls a much better team.

This sucks.

The bulls front office should get major kudos for trying really hard though.

On the plus side, I'm not disappointed because I had zero expectations they would land someone big. It's never happened before despite tons of rumors, so why would it change now?

Holy shit. No. He's more than marginally better than Boozer.
