I'm not sure if Matt is planning on making an official press conference post, but if so, I'll delete this one. Just wanted to make one so we'll have some place to post our thoughts on what he says. The other threads seem to be filling up quick.
Darn 75 word limit...uhhh....blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Heh.
Miller rocking a Cubs hat.
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
He's always been a Cubs fan though
I can’t imagine why.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
I am the stone that builder refused..I am the visual...The inspiration..That made lady sing the blues....I'm the spark that makes your idea bright.....The same spark that lights the dark....So that you can know your left from your right...I am the ballot in your box....The bullet in your gun...The inner glow that lets you know...To call your brother son....The story that just begun...The promise of what's to come...And I'm 'a remain a soldier till the war is won....
It's cuz he grew up in Kendalville iN
I’m really playing with regards to why he’s a Cubs fan. Being from Western Indiana, it’s kinda obvious.

Miller chose the Bulls
as a free agent back when no one respectable would come close. I think he genuinelly likes Chicago as a city.
Is there an online feed anywhere for it?
Or does anyone know where post-video might end up?

wait, is it just carried? I override any vote to the contrary: the name stays.

Hey, Pax cracked a joke and smiled!

feels confident in everything they did...did not have to give away a starter
http://awsomepeoplesearch.com/
says he spoke to Tim and everything is fine...not worried about past experience with Skiles
http://awsomepeoplesearch.com/
and says they might have to make a move in the summer to keep him

Seeing as how they tried to move Kirk before the deadline
and have talked about upping his “value,” I’d feel pretty good if I were a Ben Gordon lover that the team will try to make it work.
says he understands Ben's value...they may have to work out a deal in the summertime
http://awsomepeoplesearch.com/
says that there were "several deals on the table" that they would have done with other teams

"several deals we would have done but other teams didn't want to do it at the end of the day."

Salmons is Pax's M2GWCDAS
And he just said they could play a lineup of Rose/Gordon/Salmons/Deng/Center
And loves Salmons’ defense

envisions a possible lineup of Salmons at 4, Lu at 3, Ben at 2, DR at 1

Lu at 4, Salmons at 3

So basically BG is gone, I think.
Pax is in loooooove with Salmons.

I don't necessarily think so...
Salmons really comes in handy when Deng wants to pull his 6 pt games. I think Deng better have his head in the game
Good point

At least that's what I hope. Everyone seems to think Gordons gone
But if theguy can play the 3 position why not look at moving Deng
hmmm...says if they had made one other move, they would be positioned "REALLY REALLY well" for 2010

Pax looking for a possible sign-and-trade
With expiring contracts, draft picks, etc. at next year’s trade deadline
HE HAS A PLAN!!!!!!!!!

Says the Sac deal was purely a basketball deal and not a financial deal in any way

says over the last 5-6 days, he knew the Amare deal wasn't going to happen

KC asked him a question
and Pax answered “it’s a san antonio pick, so that caused us quite a bit of headache.”
I second that.
I’m really lost by this statement. Did we pick up a San Antonio pick somewhere. What does he mean by headaches?
Kick it to me... I'm open!
OK, I finally found out what this meant
It has to do with the Thabo deal.
OKC owns 3 first round picks in the ’09 draft. One is their own, one is from the Nuggets (Johan Petro trade), and one is from the Spurs (Kurt Thomas deal). The Bulls will get the least favorable of the Denver & SA picks.

Pax seems somewhat rejuvenated by these trades, I must say
When I watch NBA games I often call the fouls before the referees do. Sometimes it’s a gift. Most of the time it's troublesome. - NBA Observer
Maybe those trades saved his job
"He's not scared to take that shot," Rose said. "That's Larry. No matter what, I don't need to remind him to shoot. He's willing to shoot any time."
There are times when Paxson speaks and makes me think he totally gets it.
It’s those times that make me want to blame JR for most of the stupid shit. The moves combined with what he said made this one of the times where Paxson seemed to get.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
He sounded like a genuinely smart basketball guy. Too bad JR is such meddling annoyance.

thanks for the real time updates guys

So, the best part was that he basically said that they know they can make more trades to set them up...
even better for FAs in 2010, BUT since FAs can sign better contracts with the team’s they’re on, they usually don’t switch teams. SO, he then (in not so many words) went into how keeping pieces allows them to be in a position to make a trade for a star come next year at this time. Hello TT+Hinrich+Expiring contracts for Chris Bosh:)
Or Gordon, or Deng.
As much as I sometimes like Gordon, I’m going to maintain my largest reason for “pay[ing] the man his money” is that he won’t be grossly overpaid in 2010 even at $10-$12 million (especially on a 5-year deal having three years left at that point), and throwing in a Tyrus Thomas or Joakim Noah and a draft pick (or 3 or 4) would be a great place to start in a sign-and-trade for Bosh, Wade, etc.

I listened to the whole interview and then read this thread.
It was spot on! Great job guys.
Kick it to me... I'm open!
Anyone have a link to the audio of this?
They didn’t post it on Bulls.com.
I don’t want to listen to the Score’s podcast if they have it up, because they were interrupting it a bunch as usual.

At least it was better than when they were making toilet flush noises during a past press conference.

Thanks.
I’ll have a transcript up on my site tomorrow sometime for future reference. Probably before the game, but maybe late at night too.
Would do it tonight, but I have an exam I need to study for, and don’t want to stay up until 4, because I have to give plasma tomorrow too.
