hahahahahahahahaha. I hate this fucking cocksucker. Its gonna be fun to watch him play on a team with no future. Did anyone see him get in Jordan's face that one game, who the fuck does he think he is. Good move Isiah. Only thing that sucks is that it looks like the Pacers might start getting good again. Maybe the Knicks will get it together too. HA



I did a gweat whaaaat?

I did not really care about this trade, but since you posted about it, This just shows how stupid the Bulls are.

The Indiana Pacers have traded Jalen Rose, Travis Best and Norm Richardson to the Chicago Bulls for Ron Mercer, Ron Artest, Brad Miller and Kevin Ollie,


Lets break it down. Norm Richardson and Kevin Ollie are meaningless, just to fill salary cap. So basically it is the Bulls 3 best players in Mercer, Artest and Miller for Rose and best. Ok not too bad here. Best is a free agent next year. Does anyone in their right mind think he will stay with the Bulls after this year. No fucking way. They are like 13 milion under the cap or close and they can't sign anybody and they trade their best player in Elton brand for a guy who sits the bench. So it really is Aretst, Miller, and Mercer for Rose. SOunds fair to me.

They're trying to build cap room to get a key free agent down the road when Curry, Chandler, and Fizer are ready to play. Of course, that may be a long way down the road, but the Bulls are willing to wait.



Thanks to Brokenjaw for the sigpic

Moss should have given the ball to his coaches to spike, or at least invited them onto the field to take part in the celebration, because they were the ones who made that score possible. But don't tell that to Randy, it would only take away from the glory he believes he deserves for being as great as he is. Click here for the whole article

i was going to type out a long boring analysis of the trade but it bored me, so i'll just say the mercer sucks and was a salary dump for the bulls, zeek wanted rose out, i hated best and im glad hes gone, artest is decent and maybe now miller will get more shots a game, i'm going to miss rose becuase i wanted the pacers to keep him, hes one of the top 20 players in the league who was being held back by zeek, and i guess brad miller is a good big body to have next to jermaine oneal, and he's better then alot of other centers in the east.


NOW I'M ALL ALONE, KEPT THE PAIN INSIDE, WANT TO TORCH THE WORLD, CUZ I'M BREATHING FIRE

From a Bulls fan point of view:

I liked this trade personally. I hated losing Artest cuz his defense and heart are tremendous. But getting rid of Mercer and Ollie was an addition by subtraction. Pretty much all 4 of the guys the Bulls lost are players that can help contribute partially to a team thats close to winning already, none have the talent to lead a team. Rose has that kind of talent (or is at least closer to it than the other guys). And the Bulls will have some cap room after this year (though theres no good FAs), to put talent around Rose (if anyone would be willing to sign). They'd probably be better off saving that cap til 2003 when theres a huge amount of top notch FAs.
