Bulls waive Keith Bogans, Rip to not play in preseason opener

Why?

Don’t see the point of this. He wasn’t hurting anything with salary and could have been really good for trading pieces

Keith Bogans contract was a flexible piece.

If anything it helped our flexibility having it around.

by Grinder in Training on Dec 16, 2011 4:51 PM CST up reply actions

loyal and hardworking

he can probably get decent minutes on guard deficient teams. We’ve effectively replaced his 15 minutes and then some with Hamilton, no point in having him ride the bench.

i think bogans would be the ideal guy you want to ride your bench

no hassle, pro, you throw him in any random game and know that at the very least hes gonna do his job (and his best) on defense,

by piccolomair on Dec 16, 2011 5:06 PM CST up reply actions 3 recs

considering you aren't exactly replacing just his 15 minutes

but rather taking a tiny bit from other players to get it around 25-35 minutes, you’d want those other players to get more minutes. Bogans wouldn’t even be insurance, he would be basically demoted down to Scalabrine level.

Let us cavort like the Greeks of old! You know the ones I mean.

by hedonism bot on Dec 16, 2011 5:11 PM CST up reply actions

so....

thats exactly the kind of role hes perfect for. If an injury occurs, or if we desperately need defense at the wing i can as a fan (and im sure as a coach and team mate) expect to throw bogans out there and have him be ready to play his heart out and do his job. Really not that many nba players you can say that about, most are either good and believe they deserve to start somewhere, or are just terrible and you pray it never comes down to them…bogans is the ideal bench/role player. Never will complain about a role or minutes, but will be ready and willing to play his best and help the team win.

Its also the merit of a scalabrine, while hes really not a terrific player (at all) there is this idea that you could throw him in late in the season at a random moment and he will be ready to play. Those kind of guys are pretty valuable to keep on the bench, as opposed to chucker elites like pargo

Spot on.

by BAB-Bass on Dec 16, 2011 5:43 PM CST up reply actions

which goes back to what I said

he can get more minutes on a team needing guards. He’s a loyal and hardworking guy, give him the chance to explore other options instead of legally binding him to a scalabrine role by picking up his option.

Hey, I'm not rejoicing.

He plays hard on defense and hits three pointers better than Brewer. He’ll be a good back up somewhere.

I do hope this isn’t just a cost-cutting move, but a move designed to enable acquisitions or trades during the season.

ahh you see there are some trade-offs there

hughes is a locker room cancer… Pargo’s great in the locker room!! But hughes can play marginal defense. Pargo was just hopeless on that end.

is that Hughes is a much bigger chucker than Pargo but also a better player so that it ended up about equal in annoyance
