haha no

Tech N9ne is supposedly a “reliable” insider (Victor Bellan) who seems to know whats up…apparently his big thing was breaking the wallace trade two months early last year….

Where is the evidence?

The archives on his site on date back to July of ’08…where exactly did he breaking the trade?

Bulls fear that Hughes want out?

Vinny Del Negro does feel Hughes can contribute so he will get a good amount of playing time. Del Negro is also trying to give Hughes some playing time because the Bulls fear if they dont Hughes may become frustrated, complain and want out. Paxson and Del Negro would rather play him than create a distraction for the team.

Wtf is this? If he becomes frustrated and asks to leave, let him go god dammit… Why everyone talk so great about Hughes and the fans (like me) hate him so much – the game winner against Utah was nice, though

Because him asking out

would make it so obvious the Bulls want to ship him out (they’re doing a too masterful job not showing it) and would lower his value even more.

The Game chose him !

If this has any merit

its absurd that the team would cave in to the demands of hughes so easily. Pax meekly gives him playing time after a single comment to the media?

Asked what kind of player he expects to be in the next five years, he said: "Not a star, but like, a superstar. Something around, like, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, something like that."

:S

you probably right. But if they are doing that effort, pax should get on the phone and try to trade him right now, since Hughes is not playing bad…

In practice

The Bulls probably can’t afford to play the tough guy card again.

I couldn’t quickly find the link, but anyone else remember the story recounted in a recent Bullsbeat about Wallace. For whatever reason, after being a hard ass on everyone else, Skiles tolerated a lot of nonsense from Wallace. Perhaps he wasn’t given much choice by management/ownership.

Back to Hughes, the Tim Thomas thing was a distraction, but at the end of the day, Hughes hasn’t been anything close to the malignancy that was Thomas. Or Wallace. If we didn’t have Gordon, I’d probably be A-OK with Hughes starting and playing big minutes. Truth be told, he hasn’t been as awful as I expected.

The way I see it, Kirk’s injury is like a get out of jail free card for all the bad mojo the Bulls built up with their backcourt log jam. They have until the all-star break to trade someone and get it somewhat manageable. We’ll see if they manage it.

Agreed

The back court will be cluster f*ck city once Hinrich comes back if Pax can’t get a deal done.

I remember that Bullsbeat story

Thonus made it sound like Skiles was actually afraid of Wallace and that’s why he put up with his crap.

I don't know that Hinrich's injury was a get out of jail free card

given that he’s our most tradeable asset and one of two long contracts that we need to dump really badly, especially when you couple that with the reports that the Bulls had a deal set up with the Warriors until Hinrich got hurt.

by fundamentallysound on Nov 25, 2008 8:09 PM CST up reply actions

True enough

I was just talking about it solving the immediate logjam problem. Obviously trading him for Al Harrington would have solved it too. Though we’d really be bitching about Tyrus and Noah being burried then.
