I am at the All-Star Game and just made a statement to Bulls management.
Yes, as you probably know, I anorexorcist, followed in yfbb's footsteps to the ASG this weekend. While I didn't have the access and creds and perks that our fearless leader did, I did get to grab a really amazing close seat at the Center Court today at the Jam Session. While waiting around there, in between the D League All Star Game and HORSE, around 4PM today, an opportunity presented itself, unebelievably, for me to make a statement to Bulls management.
Gar Foreman walked right before me, and was working his magic courtside. He was schmoozing and charming all in sight. He was checking his phone about every two minutes, texting away. I could tell that there had to be some serious trade talks going on right before.
And then, my heart started pounding, and I knew what I had to do.
I patiently waited to let Gar finish his thing, and then once he turned towards his family and started to walk away, I yelled out "HEY GAR!!!"
Kind of surprised, he turned and found me standing a few feet away in the stands, and I followed up with...
"GO GET US LEBRON!"
Then I gave him a thumbs up.
For a second he was kind of shocked, then he gave a little chuckle and moved on. His wife though loved it, she had a big smile on her face and was cracking up.
But yeah, mission accomplished. I had gotten sick and tired of hearing about Joe Johnson, and I wanted to reiterate to Gar what our priority should be this summer, and hopefully he got the message.
My all-star weekend was complete.
I'll post some followup to yfbb's undoubtedly more complete coverage, but I wanted to throw that there in that I got to one up him at least on a Bulls related end. Muahahahah....

Thank God you didn't say Joe Johnson.

Bulls GM To Team: ‘This Is New Head Coach Vinnie Del Negro; He’ll Be Staying With Us For A While’
CHICAGO—Introducing Vinnie Del Negro as a “great guy who has just hit a rough patch and needs somewhere to stay,” Bulls GM John Paxson introduced his team to their new head coach on Wednesday. “I want everyone to extend Vinnie every courtesy while he implements his offense and tries to get his life back together,” Paxson told his team in the somewhat tense United Center meeting. “Look, you know how it is. You’ve been there. You lost 49 games last season, so don’t judge. Just help him out. Let him sleep on the couch, and when he needs to talk about it, listen.” An embarrassed Del Negro thanked the team for taking him in, and promised he would stay out of their way and move on again as soon as he felt he was ready.
How can we have the worst offense in the league when everything about our team owner and coach is offensive?

Been Very interesting so far
YFBB has to get his game up and start throwing some zingers at management !! anorexorcist well done ….rec!!!
I was halfway through this and had to pinch myself that this wasn't a dream...
I thought you might ask that “what the hell Vinny” question, or “what’s the real deal with Tyrus” or “do you agree Hinrich is an expensive luxury” or “is the 2 guard or PF spot the priority this offseason, assuming none of the big names leave.”
But your question was solid, and the response was better than I would’ve imagined. Nice work, rec’d.
Well done...LBJ would be like gettting MJ.
However, I would have asked….why are you jacking Tyrus around and why haven’t you fired that jackass Vinny yet.
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost. You can still call him vile names.

I woulda told him a more detailed plan of what we're all hoping for but yeah, for the time you had

yeah let me reiterate
i was in the bleachers/stands and gar was on the floor, i was basically 5 feet away from him so it wasn’t like we actually talked. i had to think of something witty to say…
but with this recent amare to cleveland news i’m considerably less hopeful than i was a few days ago :(

I am pleased with what you said
but I would have went on on all of these topics to get the fucken point across. #1 ISSUE: GO GET LB JAMES. #2 ISSUE: FIRE VINNY DEL NEGRO. #3 ISSUE: TYRUS THOMAS ABILITY IS ABOVE AND BEYOND. THATS ALL =)
enough lebron
bulls are not getting lebron so stop bringing it up. there is 0% chance we’ll get him. lebron ignored rose at the all-star game. if anything, rose is the only player attracting other plays to the bulls.
LEBRON IS NOT COMING TO THE BULLS, SO STOP BRINGING HIM UP!
wrong and wrong
i have picture proof. coming up.

I dont think Lebron is coming to the Bulls
But there is a slight chance. And if there is even the slightest sliver of a chance that you can get the best player in the NBA right now, one whose athletic abilities are above and beyond anything we’ve ever seen before, a player who at 25 years old is already one of the best 25 NBA players of all time and has a VERY strong possibility of becoming the greatest player of all time (if he ever developed a similar competitiveness as Jordan had, it’s over, Lebron will be capable of winning a title every year for the next decade), a player who legitimately makes others around him better and one who everyone loves to play with… I mean you absolutely HAVE to make a strong attempt to get him. I love Wade and Bosh and they are great, but Lebron is in a totally different stratosphere than everyone else in the league.

the only comparison
in the past decade is when we were in talks to get Kobe for Deng. And LeBron, in five years, will be a lot better than what Kobe was then or is now…
Derrick Rose! Simple, yet elegant! Get yours today!
Great question, but I....
would have asked him, “Why did you trade the White Panther?” lol

That would have been a bigger laugh from Gar
“Why in damnation did Aaron Gray have to go! No!!!!!!”
All your base are belong to Vinny.
I sat net to Gar...
and Paxson during the first Bulls away game in Cleveland. It was AWESOME. They gave us props for making the trip and seemed like they were scouting the Cavs really hard. I also talked to Gar at the DePaul vs Syracuse game. Pretty sure he was there to scout Mac Koshwal and Wesley Johnson. I asked him if we getting Bosh and he did the same thing, smiled and gave me a thumbs up
